This isn't fair at all. Only the people who complained on the forums should have been given these free skill points.

hmm, don't have any free skill points. *shruggs* oh well.

Yep, that would be this character. Logged in game now, no unallocated sp. Weird, huh? Maybe I'll petition it. Or not, not too worried about it.

sure you're looking in the right place?

at first i thought i didn't get any either, turns out i was looking at the skill queue window, not the character sheet.

You also get a message in the top left of the screen that you've received them when you log in.

you did?
when logging in all my accounts i'm cycling through windows and hitting enter instead of reading anything that pops up on a screen i see for about 2 seconds.

the log in screen is a terrible place to put information considering people simply don't look at it. nobody sits and thinks "i want to read this screen" they want to log in. a pop up upon logging in would convey far more information to people.

That's kind of what they just said ... there was a pop up message when you logged into the game.

Yes, I should have made that more clear.

still didn't see it. oh well.

wait, are we talking about getting in to the actual game, or the character select screen? because if it's the character select screen i stand by my previous point, once you log in you automatically hit enter to enter the game on a character and read NOTHING on that almost redundant screen.

Actual game, as soon as you've logged in.



Edit: Same area where you get notified that skills have been completed and if there's any certificates that are ready to collect.

oh that box that flashes up for about 4 seconds that vanished before i saw it because i was logging in multiple characters?

got it.

Awesome! I guess this is because of all the people whining about the launcher.

Would you like a personal phone call from CCP? Maybe a CCP employee coming around to your door with a personalized manual in how to pay attention in a game you are playing.

Because seriously, you are outstandingly dense if you can't figure out that there is SP waiting to be added.

Mr Epeen

no, i'm just saying login screens are a terrible method of communicating things to people since nobody ever sits there and reads the log in screens.

They don't?

Must be just me then.

So as an apology i get 50k SP put into both my accounts on chars i no longer play.

OH well done CCP

Surely we could have had them as a redeem item and choose which alt i used them on.

why would i? if i'm logging in to eve it's because i want to play.

they could always do what they do with the tutorial, make an obnoxious banner covering almost a quarter of the screen until you open it and close it again, several times.

nobody ever sits there and reads the log in screens.

However, If they only gave the sp to the highest sp character per account then you may not have had a notification if you logged a lower sp character. But I'm only running one character so can't check that.

This isn't fair at all. Only the people who complained on the forums should have been given these free skill points.

nah, most of my accounts only have 1 character on them. i simply didn't see the message because it's there for like 5 seconds upon logging in, that 5 seconds where i minimise the client and log in my other accounts...

either way, i knew we were getting free sp but displaying information upon logging in is a terrible way to inform people of things.

It produces a pop-up on logging in, it's in the news items, it's in developer posts on the forums, and it's in your character sheet.

What the hell more do you want?
Your complaint boils down to "I didn't notice it because I couldn't be bothered looking at my client."

I think Danni wants a banner message that takes up 1/3 of the screen with a large button asking have you read the message, if so click here, which gets rid of the message.

So after DT today, 50,000 unallocated SP turns up on my accounts.

What did I miss that let us know this was coming?




(I'm grateful, just cautious that it's not some mistake to be taken back...)
