New effect on skillbook : consume

Quoting for truth, and because they hide it behind flags. These fascistic tendencies are quite bothersome.

The first rank of each skill actually take little time to train and let you try it before you invest heavily into anything. Since your idea does not even allow to be used to unlock anything, there is literally no gain from the ā€œI wanna try before I invest SPā€ point of view.

All your idea end up doing is making the V trains a little less important to do in the short term as long as it is not a requirement for something further down the line. Yes I agree advanced weapon upgrade isn’t super interesting to train but at the end of the day, burning a book every time you want to fly the tight fit requiring the V rank will get boring anyway.

Since you don’t want to allow unlock of requirement via the consume book method (I would not either), then you are stuck with most usage of the feature being borderline useless. I mean, what skill do you think has a decent enough value to burn skill book on it often enough to make this proposal even worthwhile to work on implementing but does not have enough value to actually train it? That’s the key problem with the proposal. Anytime it would be worth burning a book to get a skill 1 rank higher, it also is worthwhile to just swallow the pill and train it.

What’s the planned use case anyway? Burn a book to fly a fit until you can fly it without burning books? Put an implant in your head and be done with it. Or maybe is one that can’t really be covered with an implant like Logi v? Too bad that ā– ā– ā– ā–  all over your ā€œlet me try before I investā€ since you already put 4 rank into it.

The issue with the proposal is that it literally brings nothing worth the invested dev time. It’s not even a question fo instant gratification or not, it’s a question of is there an actual use case where people will use this proposed feature often enough to justify putting in the dev effort? Any skill you ā€œconsumeā€ will still end up just being burned ISK because training it would be the actual optimal option.

this is eve 2018. it’s not swallow the pill and train it, it’s swallow the pill and inject it.

The sentence you are quoting is not linked to the proposal. Instead, it addresses the people who consider as a personal achievement to wait for the skill to complete, and that the more you wait for something to be available, the better the fun - and think anybody who doesn’t consider the fun this way is ā€œa kidā€.

I don’t expect this to happen more than 2-3 times per skill, of course the skill you are burning skillbooks to should be your priority in skillqueue.

That’s the idea. If my proposal was a real game changer ā€œlet’s double the sp gain for the skill you consume for 1Dā€, it would create balance issue.

-.- your idea is worse than double sp particularly for cheaper skills

Thank you for your useless comment. At least this time there was no insult.

i identify as my comments and as such by calling it useless you have insulted me personally.
