>>1. Please, PLEASE allow atleast 2 skills to grant tdps in tert skillsets. You guys seriously need to rethink this part. Like I said, the final skills used are under discussion. Guys, we understand that you are noticing that the carrot for training a wide variety of skills is going away. Our thesis is that that is the wrong carrot, and that unfortunately now (before other carrots have been "grown") is when we have to take that away. We're aware of your issues with the new TDP distribution, and I'm setting up more scenarios and simulations to get more data. This is why we tell you guys these things way before they're released - We live in a rather small box, and it's good to get thoughts from outside of it. >>Encumbrance issues Don't worry, we know that this will be an issue. Same with being someplace you need higher stats to get out of. We got this. However, TDP distribution is still going to be changing to a 'top X skills in Y skillset' model. It may not just be primary/secondary, but it will be a subset of skills. Like I've said several times before - We need to give you guys better reasons to backtrain / train odd skills. The fact that losing TDPs as your reason is such a blow is a TERRIBLE reflection on how robust our skills are currently. This is going to be a big goal in the coming months, but the TDP stuff has to happen with the skill stuff so that people are losing thousands upon thousands of TDPs by virtue of getting skills combined.
