Hi,
thanks for the update.
When the first remaps came, people got surprised by the mechanic, yes. Also, since something as a remap was never available during the redeeming system before, the mechanic of this remap was important to evaluate and weigh the choice.
As a player with a lot of accounts, I would love the remap to be a tradeable item received once for every character on all my accounts. Of course. It would mean I'd drown in remaps for my mains till the end of days. But that is not fair, it's somewhere between wishful thinking, cognitive dissonance and something you need to see a doctor for.
I already chose remap on two accounts. On one I have a remap available, so I gain flexibility. On the other, the timer shortening would have come in handy. And I was actually thinking about maybe rolling a new character on one and give the remap to him to start him off with 3 (int/mem, mem/perc, per/willp, yay.).
The others, I was still pondering what else (but this isn't the topic).
The pure mathematical mechanic of the last remaps is fair. If you have 0, you get +1 for 1. If you have 1, you gain +1 for 2.
Because, if you currently have a remap, then you have not used it yet. So you gain flexibility for not skillplan-tailoring your attributes.
If you do not have a remap currently, then you have used it, and got the benefit from it. And now you get another one, like everybody else.
I won't complain if the end of your discussions is that one gets a remap without resetting the timer, since I like having the cake and eating it as much as the next guy. But that is essentially what it is.
So please, keep/reintroduce it as an option. It may not be ideal for every character, but none of the options are. That is the point.
And to all the people constantly pointing to the character sale value of multiple respecs:
(a) you must have horribly skilled characters if you think noone will want them with the luxury of 4 remaps to fix them
(b) since you are obviously already planning your exit strategy from eve, stop ruining the game for the people that like it |
