Apologize if this has been discussed already.
In anticipation of the patch I put a lot of research in the oven. This was done in the belief that pre-patch rules would apply. In other words that the research I did would be transfered to the new ME / PE system. I have been told that this is not going to happen and was never intended. I find this a bit odd since I read up on a lot of the information available before the patch detailing a conversion from old ME to new ME and likewise for PE. As far as I know none of that specified a distinction between blueprints in research as opposed to blueprints in a hangar.
My problem with this is not that this was the outcome, but how it was done. I believe I read more than your average player about the patch before the patch and I did not see this. If you wanted to distinguish between blueprints in research and blueprints in a hangar players should have been made aware of this well in advance. Once a player submits a research job he does so in the expectation of a certain return, when in conversion a distinction is made you upset that as the player no longer gets the product he / she invested isk/time/fuel in.
Example: Player puts a blueprint in for ME research pre-patch going from ME 0->1 (ME 5% in the new system), he pays X amount of isk for this. What the player actually gets is a direct conversion, different from that specified in patch notes and devblogs, where old ME 0->1 becomes new ME 0% -> 1%. This is significantly different that what the player was expecting based on the choices he made in the game. In most, if not all cases, going from new ME 0%-1% is also significantly cheaper and less time consuming that old ME 0->1.
Are there any plans to take a second look at this? |

they changed it about 3 weeks prior to patch
BPO converted on PATCH DAY
Research applied after it comes out
for example, i had a crap ton of ME5 capital BPO's that were going to come out ME9
a week prior to patch i put them in for ME1 and 4 weeks later they all came out ME10 (except 2 didn't convert properly, I have petitioned)
Where do you have this information from? Do you have a link?

Thank you. As you pointed out, this information is not easily available, it should have been.

If you are trying to abuse patch changover mechanics to gain an advantage, it's on you to keep abreast of exactly what the mechanics are.
Actually this was just research I was doing on a regular basis. Not to say I was not expecting comments like this, keep trolling goon!  |
