Tista	Posted - 2007.05.01 22:35:00 - [1] basicly the same as teir 2 but they are a rank 5 skill and require the teir 2 to lvl 4, since there are so many skills in eve it's quite hard to cover the lot in 10 years.. and i dont mean all to 5 i mean able to fly all races, and use other stuff, with 5 more att points it would reduce it by about 2 years or so -------------------- "this is the templar fighter used by carriers" Originaly quoted by Shania Eria.
Tista	Posted - 2007.05.01 22:37:00 - [2] heh forgot to add the point of the thread, i wanted to ask for everyone's opinions on it, personaly i think it's a good idea since it wont make everything insta trainable but it will make it a lil bit faster. -------------------- "this is the templar fighter used by carriers" Originaly quoted by Shania Eria.
Bistot Kid The First Thing You'll Ever See	Posted - 2007.05.01 22:40:00 - [3] Hmm, not sure about that. Where does it all end? Tier 4? 5? However, they should give everyone one point to add to whatever skill they like, on the birthday of their character. That would not be excessive, even the real long timers would only have 4 points more. (4 years is about the longest anyone's been playing, yes?) ------------------------------------- Hold my calls and sack my cook -------------------------------------
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2007.05.01 22:41:00 - [4] I'm sure someone will pop in at some point to point out how painfully long these would take to pay off. - You keep using that word . . . I do not think it means what you think it means
Alora Venoda Caldari GalTech	Posted - 2007.05.01 22:42:00 - [5] how about if the skills were only obtainable from exploration sites :) ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless. Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application.
Black Scorpio	Posted - 2007.05.01 22:42:00 - [6] Frankly that should be doable, but let the tier 3 require both tier 1 and 2 to level 5. That way you can tell the hardcore players from the oh cool, now i can just max them all out type of guys.. In other words, it will make you think if you want to make the investment in time and lack of training of other skills, yet if you decide to devote and put the effort, here you go, you get extra learning points..
Tista	Posted - 2007.05.01 22:43:00 - [7] well dont forget you dont need to do lvl 5 in them like the teir 2 set, but some do it takes about 2 years to work off. -------------------- "this is the templar fighter used by carriers" Originaly quoted by Shania Eria.
Black Scorpio	Posted - 2007.05.01 22:47:00 - [8] Originally by: Tista well dont forget you dont need to do lvl 5 in them like the teir 2 set, but some do it takes about 2 years to work off. well that's exactly my point, the new ones Should take the need to lvl 5 the previous one. This will make a lot of players think twice. and again for those who think twice, and three times and still want to devote the time, here you go.. what's the point of adding learining skills that do the same if you haven't mastered the previous tiers? it's like adding a rof skill that will require only lvl 5 or having all specialized skills require only lvl 5 on tier 1.. if you get my point.. i think tier 3 should pay off for the time a player has taken to master the previous two levels. And if someone complains it takes them too long? well don't train them.. noone is putting a gun to your head :)
Tista	Posted - 2007.05.01 22:49:00 - [9] heh good thing im training mine to 5 right now then:D 2 days 6 hours for lvl 5 teir 2 memory -------------------- "this is the templar fighter used by carriers" Originaly quoted by Shania Eria.
Rodge Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.01 23:02:00 - [10] Very unlikely to happen, since the devs kinda regret even putting the advanced learnings in. Still, I'd love it. Seeing as how all 4 of my characters have either 3 or 4 of the advanced learning skills to 5 already. They'll payoff eventually, even without another tier of learning skills Sig inappropriate-not eve related -Abdalion [ 2005.04.17 00:34:30 ] Nagilam > u better leave Rodge, u will not gank any1 else 2nite......

Del Narveux Obsidian Angels Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.01 23:48:00 - [15] Better idea, just stop adding more and more skills, aside from miniprofessions I think we have more than enough to base new items on. Sure this means older players will max out on skills eventually, but how is this a bad thing? Eve isnt supposed to be a grind MMOG. _________________ [SAK] Alumnus--And Proud Of It! -- aka Cpt Bogus Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?

Dread Operative Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.05.02 00:10:00 - [18] No more learning skills. Yes more combat skills.
Marquis Dean Energy. Insurgency	Posted - 2007.05.02 01:28:00 - [19] Adding more 'must train first' skills to Eve will not make for a satisfying first few months for new players. --- Originally by: Tista i dont like you much but i'm going to agree with you on that.

Tarminic Black Flame Industries	Posted - 2007.05.02 01:33:00 - [21] Bad idea, because it gives older players an advantage in skill training time vs. newer players. If anything EVE is designed to do the opposite. <sig> IBTL! IBDS! IBTC! 1st in a BoB Post! And other such forum tom-foolery. Join my Corporation! Can I lock sigs for tom-follery? - Ductoris
Destr0math Sniggerdly	Posted - 2007.05.02 01:42:00 - [22] no thanks, learning skills are stupid anyway...either just give them to everyone to start off with, or don't have them - don't reward people who have alt accounts just so they can train all the learning skills up, a few other ones, and then sell for billions of isk b/c the buyer CBA to do it all themselves. ---- Today is CATURDAY
Boomhaur Minmatar	Posted - 2007.05.02 01:56:00 - [23] Personally I'd like to see the learning skills disapear completely, its a big time sink. And the skill level of skills drop down appropriately. Would be something that be nice, but I doubt it ever happen. Dude that Scammer just ninja'ed that Carebare's wallet!!
Leonardo Sabrioski Caldari Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.05.02 02:03:00 - [24] Originally by: Tarminic Bad idea, because it gives older players an advantage in skill training time vs. newer players. If anything EVE is designed to do the opposite. Older players generally have more accounts and pay much more to CCP (those die hard fans who do nothing but sit around EVE all day ) Newer Players have more of an edge compared to those who started off a few years ago. Example: Revelations patch, all characters start at 800k sp (I started off with 30k ) However I still disapprove of learning skills, like said here, its a time sink that is stupid on all levels. One thing I'd like to see happen is put a bonus or partial bonus to learning skills. Such as Will power would get +1% tracking per level, or something like that. Learning skills are one of the paths that kill off a lot of new players. Just because it has no instant effect other than skill point training. ----------------------------------------------

You already get the basic learning skills for +5 to each attribute Advanced learning skills for another +5 The "Learning" skill for another 10% Then +5 implants for ANOTHER 5 points. This doesn't even include your base skills that they are added on top of. The point of having 440 million skillpoints of skills available isn't so you can get them all, it's kinda supposed to be untrainable to get that far, so you have to decide what you DO want to do.
glype	Posted - 2007.05.02 03:12:00 - [27] I like the idea of teir 3 learning skills ,or at least tier 2 gen learning skill Maybe have them as an LP reward?
Phrixus Zephyr D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.05.02 03:18:00 - [28] TBFH they should give everyone maxed attributes with the learning skills ontop of their base attributes and give everyone 1.8-2+ mil sps back to train something usefull. Spending at least a month training skills that only make you train faster as the first thing you need to do in Eve is a crock of ** and always has been.

Christina Vallentine Caldari Tau Ceti Global Production Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.02 03:41:00 - [31] I would be happier if they just added a tier 2 of the skill "learning" the first one added 2% per rank... why not have another after it doing the same, what people in eve dont go for Masters/phd's?

Unkotaro	Posted - 2007.05.02 06:04:00 - [35] I was thinking more like they should give everyone the right to pick both their starting stats from scratch and the skills they want - i.e. give players 80,000 points and say have a ball.

Sure this means older players will max out on skills eventually, but how is this a bad thing? Eve isnt supposed to be a grind MMOG. Skills training automatically over time \|= grind. And yes, maxed out older players is a bad thing, for everyone else, and for themselves because they dont ahve anything to train anymore at some point. Originally by: Kasilof /signed. As a new palyer I almost quit the game after I discovered it was really almost neccessary to not play and just train learning skill for the first month. The learning skills chased away a freind that started when I did. He wanted to play the game. Thats because there are people running around telling every new player "omg spend a month only training and stay docked!". Its totally viable, since skills in the early stages take very little time, to get your frigs and gun/missile skills up to a lvl you can do missions/pvp with, and THEN start training the learning skills. I didnt train them fully for 2 months or so, dont really regret it, its the only way imho to train longer skills, to be sure you have something to do in the meantime.

Roemy Schneider BINFORD	Posted - 2007.05.02 06:56:00 - [38] just an advanced version of the plain "learning" skill, plz - more bang for the buck, in-line with the current learning set, helps everybody equally
KentachiSamurai g guild	Posted - 2007.05.02 07:31:00 - [39] Please... no more learning skills, why do people keep suggesting this?
Heriom UNITED KINGDOM MAYHEM THE V I G I L	Posted - 2007.05.02 07:45:00 - [40] Boooo to learning skills. We need hand to hand combat skills for when we go avatar walkies. No longer will pirates be able to stay docked and be safe. Tekken style fighting in the station is a must.
James Lyrus Lyrus Associates Betrayal Under Mayhem	Posted - 2007.05.02 08:09:00 - [41] IMO learning skills are one of the biggest mistakes in EVE. Why? because they're 'must have'. OK, maybe the charisma one isn't, but you get the point. No one in EVE, can afford to give up the 8 points of stats represented by learning and advanced learnings to 4. Or hell, even when you had to train the basics to 5 first. And ... unlike all the other skills in EVE, it's just a plain and simple time sink, that all the vets have already trained, and that all the newbs hate because they pretty much have to. I think, rather than tier 3, they should instead bin the whole lot, and give everyone 11 more stat points (skills at 5 + learning 5). Or hell, just take them away entirely, although that'd trigger mountainous waves of whinging.
Malcanis High4Life	Posted - 2007.05.02 08:11:00 - [42] Originally by: Crumplecorn I'm sure someone will pop in at some point to point out how painfully long these would take to pay off. Not really; getting a rank 5 skill to level 3 only takes a day; 2 days training to get an extra 4.5 SP per minute wouldn't take all that long to pay off.

It took me a month to get to the starting point that almost made you quit... ...so you can imagine how much sympathy I feel for you & yr friend
Malcanis High4Life	Posted - 2007.05.02 08:23:00 - [44] Originally by: Roemy Schneider just an advanced version of the plain "learning" skill, plz - more bang for the buck, in-line with the current learning set, helps everybody equally The least worst idea. New learning skills help new players, btw, since they acquire them early on in their career. But a month of learning before you can get serious is a large barrier... but perhaps it seves a useful purpose in weeding out the very impatient from playing EVE. Patience is a primary virtue in this game.
DarkFenix Caldari Pilots Of Honour	Posted - 2007.05.02 08:36:00 - [45] Tier 3 learning skills? No. Just no. Tier 2 variant of the "Learning" skill? Yes. It's in line with other existing skills, wouldn't take too long to train, and gives a nice small across-the-board bonus to all character types' skill training. Newbies complaining about having to train learning skills? Horsesh*t. Newbies have never had it so good, they start with a headstart on learning skills and a total of 800k SP. And what's this talk about having to spend a month training learning skills? Who says you have to train them all back to back immediately? I didn't. First thing I trained up for was a cruiser and its armament. When I had the capability to have fun in Eve, THEN I trained up learning skills. This isn't a skillpoint race. It's a game. Games are for having fun, try keeping that in mind and you'll enjoy it a bit more.
sorilin Amarr Setenta Corp Xelas Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.02 08:50:00 - [46] whiners!!! learning skills are ok... but they should make em more interesting.. like sugested... each learning skill should add something also to the role it is in! I am the borg!

Cipher7 Keepers of the Holy Bagel SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.02 09:23:00 - [52] Yeah that'll improve Eve, lets just keep adding skills. Lets have tier 3 gunnery so I can instapop your battleship in my Tempest. You know what would be an improvement? Evemon without having to use a third-party product. A skillque. Less lag. Some kind of probe that burns through cloaking, to catch chinese farmers and cloaked idlers who sit in a system 23x7. Those are things that would actually improve the game, not "yeah lets have another 9 months of training learning skills." It wasnt fun doing the tier 1's. It wasnt fun doing the tier 2's. It sure as hell wont be fun doing the tier 3's, but if they came out we'd all have do them to keep up with the SP generation curve.

Then you're a fool. Massive time investment in learning skills is not an immediate mandatory requirement. If you think it is then you're entirely missing the point of the game. This. Is. Not. A.

Teron D'Amun Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.05.02 10:33:00 - [54] Originally by: KentachiSamurai Please... no more learning skills, why do people keep suggesting this? because they can't imagine alternatives in forms such as blue pills or one-time use implants that add an X amount of learning points to a specific or chosen skill like in matrix, when neo "learned" how to fight or when trinity uploaded "helicopter flying 101"
Tista	Posted - 2007.05.02 10:35:00 - [55] Originally by: DarkFenix Originally by: Tista Originally by: SiJira Originally by: Kasilof As a new palyer I almost quit the game after I discovered it was really almost neccessary to not play and just train learning skill for the first month. wtf? how is it necessary? what will you lose if you dont train JUST learning skills in the first month ? how does it make you want to quit ? is it because you cant train OMFGBBQPWN skills as fast as possible while at the same time having fun ? i dont get it its not like you arent already behind the lifelong eve players... Quote: The learning skills chased away a freind that started when I did. He wanted to play the game. ill call BS on that - then he would have trained the skills he needed and played- if he told you those skills were the reason he was BSING you and never wanted to play at all i know someone who quit cause they had to train a skill to level 1 with no other prerequisites - do you think that was the real reason? when i made my 2nd char the first thing i did was ignore learnings past lvl 4 ( back in the day when advanced needed 5) and it was the biggest mistake i've made in eve so far. Then you're a fool. Massive time investment in learning skills is not an immediate mandatory requirement. If you think it is then you're entirely missing the point of the game. This. Is. Not. A. Skillpoint. Race. You don't have to have OMGWTFBBQ skillpoints/hour to have fun, but I guess it must wound your ego not to have more SP/hour than all your friends. i think A you need to calm the **** down. and B if you want to play this game with any hope of achieving your maximum potential then yes you need to train the learning skills as early as possible. It's not about ego.. or e-peen or anything big... it's about being able to fly the ships you want faster than 3 months waiting. so stfu u noob. -------------------- "this is the templar fighter used by carriers" Originaly quoted by Shania Eria.

If CCP creates a way to generate X number of SP/hr then it will also create places for this SP to go. That means there will be more gunnery skills, more nav skills, more more more. They not just gonna give you Percetion tier 3 and leave the same gunnery specialization, they will have new skills to take advantage of tier 3. So if you are specialized in ANY thing, be it gunnery, science, mining, etc, if they make tier 3 learning skills, there will also be new skills for you to learn to compete with your peers. Or you are going to be like the guy mining in cruiser vs a guy mining in a barge, he is going to make more money than you, buy T2 BPO's earlier than you, produce ships earlier than you, and generally become a trillionnaire earlier than you. If you are content to fly around and look at the pretty pictures, you dont need top learning skills. If your goal is galactic conquest, then you need top notch SP generation.
Sinder Ohm Infinite Improbability Inc Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.05.02 11:22:00 - [57] I would be Happy with the Tier 2 learning skill and that is it. To people moaning about vets having the advantage with learning skills, back then we needed the tier 1 skills on 5 to do the tier 2 skills(now that was a time sink). We also didnt start with such nice SP like you do today. Originally by: Rawne Karrde PVP in EvE is consentual, you agree to it when you login. If you don't like it you're in the wrong game.
Lin Dei Gallente University of Caille	Posted - 2007.05.02 15:40:00 - [58] I for one would welcome tier 3 learning skills. People who say it's a time sink simply don't get it. You end up SAVING time after training them. They are time savers not time sinks. The more time you save, the more combat/industry/science skills you can train and the better you get. Skill times for me have been halved with the learning skills, which means I'm training twice as fast as someone with no learning skills. And you don't have to learn them all from the start. I did the basics to level 4 when I first started, then trained more so-called "usefull" skills for another two months before training up to advanced level 4 (and that's with level 5 tier 1 learning skills). Now after almost a year I'm bringing my advanced learning skills to level 5. I say bring in new learning skills. People don't have to train them immidiatly, take your time. Either that or a tier 2 learning skill that gives +5% per level. ------------------ If you see me post it's because either: 1) Silly forums made me do it 2) Because I was too lazy to change characters 3) Because I wanted to 4) <insert mod comment here>

Spent my first month training the Adv to level 3/4 and two years on you know what, I only regret not getting them to level 5, since by now I would be benefiting from them There one of those things no-one likes doing, everyone needs, and if you don't do it sooner rather then later you'll never do it and always wish you had...

Entity One	Posted - 2007.05.02 17:09:00 - [63] Solution : Delete all learning skills, add +10 to all base stats (to compensate), then refund all skillpoints invested into learning and allow them to be redistributed by the player. While I already have all my learning skills maxed out and don't care much either way, I do remember being EXTREMELY ****ed off about it when I first started playing. When I play games I like everything to be going at max efficiency, and the prospect of having to wait 3-4 months for learning skills to train was just ludicrous. I was patient enough to deal with it, but I'm fairly certain many many potential players were chased away by such an irritating prospect.
Ticondrius Gallente	Posted - 2007.05.02 17:45:00 - [64] I discovered some time ago that there is a distinct curve to the attribute : time gain ratio. I have 25 perception without implants. I have Learning V, Spacial Awareness V and Clarity V. With a +5 implant, taking my perception from 25 to 30, I only gained about 1 day on a rank 5 skill to train from IV to V. Rank 8s, like a day and a half. The difference is, going from 20 to 25 gained me nearly 5 days faster training on a rank 5, and 7 on a rank 8. I imagine having an attribute of over 30 would be entirely worthless. My only wish is for a cheap +7 memory implant. (my lowest attribute) Aside from that, my attributes read: Int: 17 Will: 17 Perc: 25 Cha: 17 Mem: 14 ..without implants and with only Clarity among the adv learning skills at level V (the rest are all at level IV.) So technically, teir 3 learning skills = implants & boosters. Have fun! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- RABBLE! RABBLERABBLE!! MMORPG: Many Men Online Role Playing Girls

Roemy Schneider Swingline LLC	Posted - 2007.05.02 18:30:00 - [66] Originally by: Winterblink Why not have the tier 2 prereq at level 5? mostly to speed up the learning process: you can go for advanced mem and int IV and then do the tier1 lvl5 much faster.. or skip it...
Sidurii AoD Holdings	Posted - 2007.05.02 18:41:00 - [67] I wouldn't mind a second tier of Learning, but a third tier of the others would probably be a bad idea, particularly now with the precedent of requiring only level 4 in the lower skill. If they put in any kind of veteran reward, I'd rather get to boost one attribute for free every year rather than level one skill up.
