I don't mind the SP costs. If new players have to pay the SP costs, then I should too. Otherwise I'd come out with ~1000 SP more than anybody starting after the change.

I'm fine with the skill costing creds. Well, no... I'm fine with it costing creds as long as other skills cost creds. But the concept of paying for skills is almost the stupidest thing I've seen in SS. It only hurts the real noobs. Paying ~300m for a skill does not hurt alts and it leaves the real noobs unable to compete with alts that are the same level or even lower than them.

But yeah, as long as creds for skills is in the game, then I'm fine with the new AT costing creds, as long as we are given back the creds that we paid to train the current AT.

What I AM NOT fine with is having to do new content to train the new AT skill. I got AT5 from emp runs. I did content to get them. Sure, you can say that in exchange I'm getting Legacy Tweak. Well, 1% per level is a joke. It is not worth the time, effort, creds, or $$ that I spent to get AT5.

If a player has AT1, AT2, AT3, AT4, AT5, or ATwhatever now, then they should be given the equivelant of the new AT skill without doing any content. They should still have to pay the SP and creds costs. But ya can't make them do the content.

so, in other words, your saying that ill never be able to get back to AT3 because i spend my points wisley and dont feel like leaving spare skill points laying around, i have all the skills i need and your taking away my ability to every level up again because you think something is broken again, thank you for blowing away another customer.

how about all the time you had AT 4 and 5 while 99% of the SS population only can get to 3? did you not take advantage of that 40% aug boost while you had it? i'd say all of the time you used your AT boost led to gaining more money than you used on those 2 emp runs and was certainly well worth it. the legacy skill is just a way to not completely unacknowledge people who did emp runs in the past and recognize those who have stuck with the game for a while.

And Junkie, you're worried about only being 2% better than some F2P noob? something tells me you've got other skills which will compensate for that, especially since that noob is now pretty useless (no ability to get the New AT).

Also, I saw the idea of a new server starting from scratch. I love this idea, and it'd actually be good for the game - I wouldn't mind giving up what I've got for the chance :)



I would leave if that happens, at least if they didn't keep the old server up.

Is this server resting from scratch a suggestion somebody made? or something more.. Because I totally agree with it and suggested it months ago.

Twas a sarcastic remark, I think, that someone made. To equalize all imbalances.

Hell, no. Players have started form scratch, built up their character slowly, it involves a huge amount of time (real life time). And u ask to reset all that ? I would not start again from 0... No way..

One last post by me on the full reset idea, i think that most above lvl 350 will say no, and most below will say yes.

how about 5(or however many lvls of AT you could get, max) arranged around uranus, with each one offering AT up to a certain lvl, but requiring a certain lvl of the legacy skill to get into? so, if you have AT 2, you can get into the second station, and lvl to the equivalant of AT 2 there.

i think that would work...
