Same to you, you have said absolutely nothing constructive at all, since we at least give a bit of food for thought.

And as long as you return big defender, so might one of us 8)

I stop visiting when its dead , as long as it amuses me, might might stick around and have a look once in a while, makes me feel so supreme and I can really use the boost, me being such a little fella and all, I mean in character and spirit.

This change has been incoming for ages, literally you must have been living under a rock to miss it.

Everywhere that matters, including in-game.

GǪnot that in-game is a particularly normal or natural place for such information since it's commonly something that's posted on the official game website. Such as this one. Kind of like what they did with this information. Half a year ago. Actually, one and a half a year ago, if we look for the original announcement.

Fact is, CCP posted about this in a lot of places over the past year.

i remember getting the skills for my intercept 2 days before need for speed went from 13km to 4km per sec in speed. i learned then not to put my eggs into any one basket a stupid dev can break

And that's the problem.

Centralized source for information is critical. So centralized players know it as well as Evemon and Battleclinic.

So centralized that if you only followed one site, you're not in the dark.

And word to wise: notice those generalized ship skills like Assault and Heavy Assault Ships? Skill them to 5, because the scheme is breaking them down to racials. Just like they did with battleships, and now battlecruisers.

Before today i've never had a reason to come to these forums. This is the first time i've ever been here.

WRONG.
That news was never posted in-game,

also doesn't matter when it was first posted here in the forums since the OP is only a few months playing this game.

EvE needs it's own Wowhead. That site finally has a Blizzard CSM there, to ensure consistency with the official site. Same can be done with CCP (because if these devs ban players from the official sites [which can be a lot of players], they have to get the info from off sites! Duh!).

I'll attack this from a different angle.

It's unfair to blame the victim who's been stabbed just because the person stabbing him said he was going to stab him.

Where i'm from we don't punish victims just for being part of the crime.

And if that wasn't a good example, what about this:

If a deaf/blind person is walking along the train tracks, do we say to him "hey, you're walking on train tracks!" or do we do alot more than that and move him off the train tracks.

These examples aren't brilliant but I don't know how else I can get my point across.

No I didn't. And I believe I am dealing with it "like an adult". voicing my concerns on the official EVE website is the correct reaction.

And how many times do I need to repeat myself. I don't read blogs. I don't even know what a blog is or what it's meant to even stand for. Players are NOT expected to go outside of the game to other websites doing research. That's just not how it works.

Please do not misinform people. CCP have explicitly confirmed that the T2 skills will not be racialised.

Also, the battleship skills have been racial since the beginning of the game, they have never ever been a generic skill.

GǪaside from the launcher, the character select screen, the billboards. So no, it's not wrong. They posted it in-game. Don't confuse people missing it or wilfully skipping it with it not being there.

It doesn't matter how long the OP has been here since the information was available in the most common, logical, intuitive, and obvious source: the official dev blogs on the official website. These were then linked to from roughly a bajillion places GÇö many of them in-game GÇö from which people pick up not just this piece of information, but on the general idea that there is a central repository for this kind of info.

GǪnot that they should need to, since it works the same here as it does pretty much everywhere else.

OMGAWD, which part of in-game do you not understand.

Now the Eve Mail from CCP encouraging everyone to vote for new CSM definitely qualifies as being in-game

Once again you as well as others lay claim that reading Dev Blogs is paramount for playing this game.

OMGAWD, which part of in-game do you not understand. The use of Launcher and Character Selection screen DOES NOT, and I repeat, DOES NOT justify as being in-game. Besides that, numerous times #401 has been shown in place of the news listed in the Character Selection screen. The Launcher is recently new and quite honestly, hasn't been around long enough to make a difference.

I agree with the OP, most of your replies have been sarcastic insults intended to demean and flame. There have also been quite a few other characters also doing the same thing. If it continues, I will personally report all of you until this thread get's locked, and then I will file petitions about it as well as file complaints with Customer Service. This needless harassment of new players or anyone else in this community is not acceptable.

Terrible terrible analogy.

You aren't a "victim" in the same way. You did not have anything taken away from you. You missed out on an opportunity to take advantage of something offered.

You not getting that advantage is also not the same thing as a blind man getting hit by a train. You simply have everything else as BAU (business as usual).

In short, you are complaining of not getting a can of peaches at a discount because the supermarket did not deliver the coupon directory to your door where they simply put in an ad in a newspaper you chose not to read.

Here's the thing: Yes, this change has a lot of potential disruption. Yes, it sucks that for whatever reason, some people missed out and are now staring at Advanced Spaceship Command V. Here's the thing, though: The skill changes are good for the game overall. CCP really, honestly tried to get the word out. They really tried to minimize the pain, and the forums were alight with people making sure that anyone confused about the changes was set straight.

Here are the things which are easier to see from a more veteran perspective:

1) if you intend to spend a lot of time in a freighter, Advanced Spaceship Command V is a superb investment. Take it from someone who started flying a freighter with ASC III. Every last little bit of agility that you can coax out of those whales is welcome;

2) 24 days seems like a lot when you've only been training skills for a few months. Most of the skills I want to train now are much longer than that, and that's not to train them from 0, it's to train them from IV to V. People who've been playing longer than I have are staring at skills that take even longer to train, like the maxed-out capital ship skills;

3) There's a new expansion! Hop in a Magnate or an Anathema, set it up for hacking/archaology, and enjoy those 24 days.

Learning to keep yourself occupied while you wait 30 days for that skill that you absolutely want to have finished training yesterday is a useful skill for surviving EVE Online.

Report away, little boy, then run back to WoW when the GM team tell you to HTFU. Be glad you're learning the lessons about EvE now, instead of a month from now when you're hauling your 1b+ ISK freighter and its multi-billion ISK load through Uedama and getting popped.

Lessons on the forum are free. Lessons in the game are rarely so.

Actually, I have lost out. I would've been able to fly the freighter straight away if no changes were made. I was set back 24 days as a result of the changes. So you're wrong there.

#3 - News section in character selection screen, not reliable and buggy.

#5 - Newsletter definitely not reliable and mostly non-existent.

Within my 5 yrs of playing this game I've never received a Newsletter from CCP.
