Aren't you the guy who hates gallente and loves "WINMATTAR"?

There are not enough languages in the world to say NO to this.

Standard copypasta for skill remaps:

It removes the point of having skills to begin with.
It removes the point of having attributes.
It removes attribute implants from the game.
It removes variety and instead encourages FOTM and cookie-cutter setups.
It removes the uniqueness, history and "character" of your character.
It removes planning and choice and consequences.
It removes goal-setting, progression and any achievement in those areas.
It kills character trading.
It massively boosts older characters over new ones.
It introduces "catching up" as a concept in EVE and instantly makes it impossible to do.


GǪoh, and one more thing: it doesn't actually solve any problem. Skill resets and remaps work for class/level-based systems where you pick a predetermined ability set the moment you pick your class, and cannot break out of it with anything less than a class change. EVE is not such a system. You are not tied down to training any one specific thing. If you want to know something else, you can just train it at any time.

The problem skill remaps are meant to solve do not exist in EVE and the solution to that problem is already built into how skills and skill training work. Instead, adding a remap system to EVE just breaks things.

A one time SP reset would be a really good idea, maybe a 1 time reset for players after 6-12 months so once they have a good idea how the game works and they realise they dont like what they have gon into they have 1 opertunity to properly choose this time which race they would like fly. its takes about a year maybe a bit more to become top statted in all areas for sub caps of one race and even longer for capital.

Alot of players leave eve because after their first 1-6months of being an oblivious noob they realise they dont actually like the path they are going down and just leave because they cannot be assed to wait another 6 months to become actually good in a new area.

a onetime SP reset for newer players would be a great idea and would keep ALOT of players who are like me but not as patient in the game, it is an epic game, it really is but some people are just not as tolerant and patient and just quit.

Please keep the troll comments to yourselves, constructive negative feedback is welcome.

Well, what did you expect, this is, after all, the EVE-Online forums. Trolling is an art here.

As for the content of your post, why do you want a skill reset? Why not just train for 'WINMATTAR' now, and keep your Gallente skills for future use? Every race has a useful ship in almost every situation. Getting rid of your Gallente skills only puts you in a box.

So if you want to go to 'WIMATTAR', just train it. Don't ask for a SP reset. It's a tad shortsighted, to be honest.

Thanks trolls for getting the thread off to a nice start. Pathetic; i dont know why i even bother with forums.

Tippia decided to break with tradition though and offer you some valid discussion on the very first page. Bad Tippia, bad!

OP: Quit EVE and go play Perpetuum Online.

I'm not a big fan of being thier marketing tool but everything you have asked for, they have.

Account based Skill Points, One time free reset, penalty based resets after that. SP over time that builds in the account and can be allocated to a main or an alt.

At this point in EVEGÇÖs evolution I am beginning to wonder if it matters anymore. Crack it up to a crazy question (and I am not asking for change), but does EVE really need a skill point training system anymore? The game has always been more of sim with SP tacked on as an excuse to call it an RPG. Why not just get rid of skill points altogether and simply let people research, build, and pilot what they can learn to play and afford to fly?

So that's the reason the 'thousands' of people quit EVE to go over there in the summer of whine.

Mr Epeen

I support this idea.

I say let anyone who wants a reset of their skill points because they make a mistake pay RL$ and reset their total skill points to ZERO.

IF a resetting of skill points at all should be even considered it should be only for
- Base skills
- Only trained to level 3 or less
- No prereq skills can be trained
- Only -+ or 1 million skill points total can be reimbursed
- One time only

Making a bad idea also obnoxious or painful to use doesn't make it a good idea.

its takes about a year maybe a bit more to become top statted in all areas for sub caps of one race and even longer for capital.

When I started to play I trained for ice mining, so invested heavily in those skills setting everything aside. Then a personal crisis hitted me and I did not play for a year. Now I am back and just reactivated my account and I found mining so *beep* boring and want to be a manufatcurer.

However my ship skills are rubbish and most other skills to - does this annoys my little left toe and make it itchy? hell yes - but hey - I can train up the skills needed -all it takes is time and that what I love to hate about EVE. You do not have it? Train!

Get implants and plan your yearly remapping accordingly to skills using same attributes and stick to it.

And even if so decided it is still not a good idea. Live with the mistakes you have made just like you have to in real life.
