How predictable.  Lol; yes.

Great idea.

Maybeeee they should implement buy ep/ep speed for €/nic?

Brilliant idea,we will all have all lvl 10 for 100€,hesus!

What you think?

I like the game and I think its great.  Has lots of bugs, and code clearly needs to be fixed up some. But one of the few things in game that is perfect is the EP system.  Its fair to all, and encourages game loyalty.  From a business perspective, and dont forget Perpetuum IS A BUSINESS for the Devs and Avatar Creations, its the system on which they collect their money. Other than the occasional perk here and there, EP should remain constant and not be able to be "caught up".  You dont need EP equal to someone else to be as good as that person.

Predictable?  Really?

This has been brought up on many a topics, most of all the people there have said No.

This would basically COMPLETELY change how the game is played, you go from time based to paying to get ahead of others.

As it stands now EP isn't really a massive bridge to being with, you can get into nearly any heavy with ease, but you have to be smart enough and ask the right questions, EI : Spec into it completely.

What this is spawning from (why Sir is asking for this) is because he would like all of his toons to do MORE with less.
YOUR not suppose to be able to do everything with ONE to TWO toons.  Its just not possible.  Until the more late game of just waiting, waiting for that EP pool to raise and even then its not the smartest idea to do so.

/agree

You (OP) ask for something that is already working. .. ice will allow you to gain 2x or more EP than you normally would you just have to add in additional accounts to take advantage. You can run as many accounts as you like all getting free EP from ICE.

I second "You would need to wait like the rest of us."

What would you gain, if you could buy extra EP? You could use a special fit a bit earlier, get earlier into HM MK2 but in the end, you can't get up EP, if those beeing in 1 MEP-Club spend as well some ICE to get double EP.

For most cases, you can say, that after 3-4 months EP your at a point were you can compete, if you specialised on a role. After 1 Year EP I think you could fill most roles with near perfection (if not every relevant externsion maxed, feel at least no big difference) and start skilling "sideroles". Like RR for miner char, Ewar for fighter, another bot color or something. That means if you really want to spend double the amount of $$ you might wanna have another account specialising on a pure role.

BTW I hope, Devs will add new skills any now and then to ensure, I never have all extensions maxed, as I like the idea, that you take some decisssions, even if you learn they were wrong afterwards

I agree, that it is always a two sided sword with the feeling of never getting up to old guys.
But the mechanism with double EP would not fit, as I pointed out, the 1 MEP-Club will be always 1MEP ahead. Think we discussed this allready a few month ago in forum.

pay to win

terrible idea

Its been discussed to death,,,

((I would be open to discussion about a system similar to EVE implants though))   things to blow up if you die

no ptw please. The reason I get to sub games to avoid this PTW situations. If sub games started going PTW, i don't know what to play anymore. As it stands, longer players should be more powerful than new players period. The ep system I think is great now. Keeps us motivated to check in game and see what extensions we can upgrade. With boosters, I see the game dying.

Dont you realize the game already has this? if you dont pay for the game with ICE (or real money directly) you get no EP accumulation, if you then use ICE your EP accumulation increases by 1EP/min

Ok I'll stop now.
