if you are podded and lose implants the client will now adjust skill training time in line with your new attributes making skill training slightly longer. If you lost a rank of a learning skill due to being podded, the client will also take that into consideration and the new attribute level will instantly be applied making training of skills slightly longer.
Patch Notesi hate CCP! after the ghost training "fix", now the "spend more ISK for implants"-fix... this is bull****. |

ok i never saw anything that made implants cost more i just saw them making it logical that once you loose you implants you loose the benefits of having implants... make prefect sense u remove 2 GB of RAM from your computer is you computer going to go the same speed for 2 days??
and yea CCP fixing a bug... those asses how dare they make the game logical!! |

At least I don't have to start training a long skill before large fleet battles anymore. |

If you start training a long skill before entering combat where you may be podded, the long skill continues to train if your pod pops, giving you time to acquire replacement implants before you actually need them again, for the next skill to train. So this is another isk sink. Implants lost to combat will need to be replaced sooner. That's why it will cost more. It's not a bug, either. Since game launch in 2003, the code around skill training merely set a flag that skill X will finish training at time Z. This time was computed using the character attributes at the time the skill was started. This allowed for things like ghost training. The skill training "process" server-side was merely a flag and a date in the database. No work needed to be done, merely the passage of time allowed a skill to complete. Last year, they redesigned the server-side code for skill training so that ghost training doesn't happen anymore. The server actually has to do some work managing skill training now. It wasn't a bug fix any more than adding T3 ships was a bug fix. This is a new design and a new feature, just like wormholes. |

Depends how the implants are created. Quote:

No, being repeatedly podded will cost more — the implants will not (well, except for perhaps higher demand which drives the prices up and if you only buy them from the market). Quote:

Just because it worked in a particular way before doesn't mean it's not a bug — by that definition, every newly released program is bug-free since it has always worked the way it does (even if it happens to not work at all). It is a bug if the designers say "this is not how feature X is intended to work". The EVE designers are now saying "this is not how implant loss is intended to work" — thus, a bug. Claiming previous implementation makes it a non-bug doesn't work either: it may exist as a bug because of that previous implementation — that doesn't mean that the bug itself is meant to exist. A redesign to solve bugs is not an addition — it's a replacement of a designed that was flawed. |

This is what is going to change. You used to start a long skill so that it kept training as if you had the implant even after the implant was destroyed with your pod. Now that trick would not work any more: after being podded the skill will revert to training at the non-augmented rate. Therefore if you want to benefit from the boost you will now need to replace the implant immediatelly instead of being able to wait till the end of currently training skill level. |

You're right. But in this case, it is not a bug. It is a design change. They used to regard it as a feature. It was intended. It was documented in the old User Guide. But they changed their mind. It is not a bug. |

A lot of pvp players would set a long skill, and then once they were podded they'd just pod themselves to get around, that wont happen as much now |

Sorry, I have to agree with CCP with this change. Why should you continue to gain the benefit of equipment you no longer have? By that logic, my pod should do the same damage as whatever ship I was flying when I got ejected. |

You're right. But in this case, it is not a bug. It is a design change. They used to regard it as a feature.
You mean the user guide that wasn't written by CCP? The user guide that only described how the game actually worked, not how CCP intended it to work? Yes, people tried that argument with ghost training and it didn't hold any water then either for exactly those reasons: the game guide explains the game — not the design intent — for the simple reason that those who write the guides have no access to the design documents. Over and over back when ghost training was being disabled, I asked people to produce actual statements from the CCP dev team that showed that it was "a selling point" and "an intentional feature", as they were quick to claim. No-one ever could. In that vein, if you can provide some documentation that benefitting from stuff you no longer had was an intended design choice, then you might have a case. My guess is you can't, so you don't. As convenient as it was, the bonus from non-existing implants was a bug, and now it got fixed to work in a logical way. |

Yeah that was kind of conveinient, or at any rate something of a consolation. Meh, whatever, +4s are cheap now. 35-40M to replace those isn't so important when you've just lost a 100M HAC with 60M+ fittings & rigs. |

On one hand i would agree with this, but on other hand its 99% time podkill due issue on CCP side (ie lags).
So basically this is another penalty for fleet battles and only thing what will this step succeed in is less ppl in 0.0 and lowsec and more ppl sitting in Jita/hubs. |

Well if it is just another isk sink, then i welcome it... we need more. Proving why a change was a good idea in your post about how its a bad idea is very amusing to me. |

If your ship gets killed, you cannot click anything for about what... 4 seconds? due to lag. if you start spamming the warp button too late (like when your ship is already exploding, or has exploded) you will get podded |

I very rarely ever die in a Pod. You guys need to learn how to prepare to lose your 150-300m ship and save your pod.
+3s are dirt cheap. +4s arent much more expensive either.
Tbh Id rather lose my pod and implants then my Commandship or HAC. |

Might want to consider the impact of continous pvping outside of empire and with more expensive implants than that. |

Grow up, you knew that this was strange at the very least (getting a bonus from implants that you lost 2 weeks ago) or a bug at best (this can't be real). They fixed it, same as the ghost training, get over it and grow a pair. |
