Topic: EP loss from discontinued Exstensions

DEV Boyce asked me to post this here.

Several Exstensions have been removed form game, and many Testers have spend Vasts amount of EP on those exstentions [ EXPL:I have Tracking at Level 7 ].  It was discuseed that there should be a return of the Spent EP for those Exstensions that are not being used anymore..

Many weeks were spent raiseing those exstensions high enough to be effective..  That is a great loss of testing time [EP wise].

Re: EP loss from discontinued Exstensions

A valid issue.

Re: EP loss from discontinued Exstensions

Thats a totally valid point a view, i hope they can find a solution for you smile

But then we could also ask: can ppl be refunded for ep they spent in non-working extensions?

Globally, could it be possible we obtain some kind of "reset points" item?
This may be of lots of use, or also be abused ...

Re: EP loss from discontinued Exstensions

nah, on another topic, devs already stated, that they will replace those extensions with other ones - then you have spent your points on that one.

That was in reference to industry skills being scrapped for the new system. Not sure about combat skills.

Re: EP loss from discontinued Exstensions

i had a dev talk late at night. cant remeber who it was,
but he said that they got something in line as replacement for "Tracking"

somehow i get the feeling that bots will get a new parameter. something like "Chance to dodge" big_smile

Re: EP loss from discontinued Exstensions

Is there a list of extensions that dont work anymore, etc?  If Tracking is a broken/unused extension, I dont know about it.  Sucks if its useless, because I have it trained relatively high.

I do specifically recall Tracking being discussed in the replace/reimburse spent EP discussion at one point. I hate to quote or even paraphrase because I don't recall exactly what was stated, but the idea I got from the conversation was that if an extension was being removed and replaced with something else, an equivalent number of EP would be attributed to the extension replacing the old one. If an extension wasn't being replaced, then the EP should be refunded.

Re: EP loss from discontinued Exstensions

Hmm,

Useless extensions atm are:

- Tracking higher then 3 (needed for a certain module to equip)
- all Squad-extensions
- all relations-extensions that raise the money you will get for missions
- all Corp-extensions that do not raise the possible member-count
- harvesting-extensions for plants that you cant harvest
