CCP Hekatonkheires has a new dev blog where he tells you about the second implant in the holiday implant set, made available today.

Read his blog here and remember to give us any feedback you might have.

What is an "Account management queue"?

Concurrent with the release of the CA-2, Genolution offered up the implant's schematics for public inspection

Does this mean the implants will become widely available in LP stores or production or whatever in the future?

Hmmm,

I wonder what the holiday gift is. Is it going to be like getting a small value gift certificate, from a parent, in a card? Or an unexpected xbox game from an elderly relative.

/excited.

Snatched them both, but still pondering wether I should replace my 2 +4's with em. I don't really need the bonii on the ships I most frequently fly ...

And acct management seems down for me, I guess the hampsters can't cope with all the shiny new goodies!

Save them, they might be worth something one day.

I see one of the gifts is an attribute remap... obvious questions:
1) for those of us that still have one will it add so you have 2?
2)For those of us that would get one in say a few months from now because the year after using their last one would be over, will they get that one as well? so they also have 2 remaps at that point in time? Or does it turn into an early remap possibility and the year starts counting again from using the gifted one for that char?

Oh, question. Is the FUel Block blueprint option fuel block BPO'S or BPC's? Because I was operating on the assumption that they were BPO's and if they aren't, I'd like my choice back so I can choose something else

If you're not taking the remap, you're wrong.

Is the remap for every character on the account? Only for one?

If for one, can I choose for which one or will it be like with the FreeSP/Aurum that it is auto-decided based on some voodoo metric?
If the later, can we petition to move the remap to a different character?

I second this question.
Are the Fuel Block Blueprints BPOs or BPCs?

Let me ask the Elves (QA) Team in the Icelandic AM. I believe it is simple +1, but would prefer to confirm it.

Checking now, will post back shortly.

2) if you canNOT currently remap will this simply reset the counter so that you can remap early (this is how the remaps worked when the learning skills were removed)

just curious but why is the Large Imperial Navy set only 5 crystals? i dont know any Amarr BS's that only use 5 lasers apart from the Paladin but not everyone owns one of those now, can we get that amount incrased to 8 at the very least?

[Edit]
Or is it maybe a tradeable ingame-item that gives the remap on use?

I imagine to keep it all equal isk wise. There was probably an limit they set for max isk in goods they wanted to give out. I haven't crunched the numbers, but I imagine there is a fair balance between all of them in terms of isk.

And if you're upset that it's at 5...then don't get that one? There's a reason you're given a choice. Why is everyone's default reaction always set to whine?

wasnt whineing just thouhgt it was odd that there was a fair amount of munition for a full rack of guns in all the other packs apart from this one

Wait, do we choose one of the following 23 options, or one from each of the subsections? I.E. one from 'I am the Destroyer', one from 'Survival Rations' and so on?

FFS stop reissuing unique items, CCP.

It's an imaginary construct inside a video game, not someone's virginity.

It's an imaginary construct inside a video game, not someone's virginity.

reissuing unique and player produced items is annoying. I'm thinking that since there are so many choices available it probably won't hurt anything, but it's still wrong in principle.

I'm probably just going to pick something that lets me have the most fun. After all, that's what this whole game is about, isn't it?

Also seconding the folks who are calling the free remap unfair, as it was the first time you gave them out. If my current remap ends in January, the free remap hardly does me any good at all, especially since I'd already presumably planned out my current remap through January.

Question : for the "Neural Surgery" Holiday Gift option (description "Attribute Remap"), does that mean "+1 to existing free remaps" to the highest SP character or does it mean something else ?

I ask this because I already have 3 free remaps stockpiled and would love to get 4, but would hate it if for some reason I'd actually be getting something else instead (not sure what else could it be, but still, doesn't hurt to ask) or in my case, get nothing at all, or worse, get my free remaps reset to 2 or worse, 1.

No, that's what WoW is about. This is (in theory) a harsh, but fair, sandbox game. It's meant to be a virtual world, with all the highs, lows, boredom and excitement, drama and intrigue, good times and bad that implies. Unfortunately, CCP repeatedly demonstrates utter contempt for that concept and has alienated so many of the players who signed up for that experience while attracting the WoWtards and ADD kids who enjoy loot pinatas, FREE STUFFZ and EZ mode.

Did I miss the State Apocs that were amongst all the gift options or are you just going full ****** over CCP giving everyone the equivalent of a free battlecruiser?

Take anything other than the remap and you're literally Hitler

BPO's according to Greyscale.

Use a dictionary. Or look here if you don't know how to use that either.

i am well aware of the proper use of the word "literally," thank you!

Is there any way we can get our aurum transfered to our main from our alts? I'd get the aurum if i could get it all + my old aurum transfered to my account to buy a monocle, my asshat factor will go through the roof!

Let me ask the Elves (QA) Team in the Icelandic AM. I believe it is simple +1, but would prefer to confirm it.

Yeah, I'd like to know the answer here too, considering I and many other people got ****** over when learning skills were removed by item #2 there. Despite being told we were going to get "an additional" remap.

My thoughts exactly.

I don't understand why the remap is FOTM. What am I missing? I already have all the skills I want and I am literally running out of things to train now. Please enlighten me

Skills and Skill points increase your characters resale value, if not bragging rites.

+1

We don't mind if CCP you screw everyone over equitably, but penalising a random section of players based on when they remapped... that doesn't cut it thanks

But nice idea for holiday gifts this year, good job CCP

1) for those of us that still have one will it add so you have 2?

I'm in the same situation. I'll have a remap available in next January and would like to know if the countdown won't restart if I choose it.

I dunno. I'm probably just going to pick something that lets me have the most fun. After all, that's what this whole game is about, isn't it?

+1

Unique, one time items should be just that.

Unique.

One time.

what about mining gifts? 50 T2 mining crystals for each ore.... or special ice mining crystals (12) or a hulk

and for all you boys and girls wondering about the remap, i'm sure it will be like when they took learning skills out and dished out two remaps for nothing. It didn't effect my yearly timer and I ended up with three

Well... a corpmate also ended up with 2 more remaps (but had one available before).
However, I only got one remap INSTEAD of the regular one that would have been available a few weeks later anyway. And no, no extra one after that date passed.
I just don't want to repeat that experience. :-D

Am I the only who doesn't see "Neural Surgery" aka remap?

+1

what about those who already chose remap as a gift?

They should just put in an option for straight 500k free SP to distribute (or an appropriate amount but that is about where I would be unsure whether to have a remap or the SP). No discussions about dates, timers and different personal advantages...

I am guessing it is a technical issue. Either it is because system does not support the ability to select between characters on an account for remap or because remaps simply does not work as a redeemable item.

Then just give us 2mill distributable sp this year, since that's conservatively what a remap gives you. Then never add remaps to the present list again until you fix the issue. Problem solved.

Yes, they Remaps are pulled off of list as off this afternoon. There was a pretty big issue in how they were being granted, we're going to take them out of the line-up until we can assure 100% GOOD deployment. CCPGuard will be on with some more detailed in the near future.

Be assured, there are a people on this.

Honestly, and with all due respect: F*ck You!



I know how this will end.

The last time there were "free remaps for all", some got 2, or even 3, and me got nothing (one week sooner remap).

If you're not taking the remap, you're wrong.

CCPGuard has a really great blog about fixing remaps here.
