So people with no REAL leadership skill that have spent the past year creating/training a character solely for gang modules will get their money back?
please?
Yeah, just great isnt it? 3 of my mates have trained up CBC's in the last months, none of them actually want to lead fights, but liked to train something that would help the gang if they got time to log into EVE and join an op with their corpmates.
On the bright side, you might be able to sell those characters pretty decently when Kali hits.
Is it usual in EVE to have a patch kill off a total specialisation? At least in WoW you can spend some gold and re-spec your talent points after a change.
As far as my corp is concerned, this change is very unwelcome. We have close to 23/7 gang activity, with various different people joining and leaving gangs all the time, meaning we will need tons of people, close to all of us, training up those Leadership Skills just to get our gangs out as we have been doing happily since we were all noobs in Frigates.
I can just imagine:
- 'Large Enemy Fleet Spotted 2 jumps from here, everybody assemble!'
- 'No, Johny hasnt logged in yet, and he is the only one able to form the fleet of the size needed. Everybody go Safe!'
Instead of helping to get gangs / fleets formed, it will probably work against it for us in the first months, as we need to find ways to get our newer guys working together when we dont have the people with Leadership Skills online, probably via TeamSpeak and whatever band aid we can apply.
Also, adding more skills to do one of the few things people could do effectively by being organised / smart about it regardless of Skillpoints is not what EVE needs in my opinion. EVE allready has a ton of skills for a new player to go through to become effective in PVP (2 months of Learning Skills, 2 Months for the basic fitting skills, a couple of months for the T2 Tank and Guns).
What's next? Skills added to be able to trade on Escrow??
