Ok, so ive never chiped skills in or out before... but i looted an esi today and decided to just toy with it to understand the process of chipping out. However, something didnt make sense.

Now, i understand that the later skill points take up more space than the earlier ones. I understand that the first 1000 points, can be 1 points at say 10000 total skills for example.

Heres the question. I tried adding my LWT skills to the chip, i have a total of 5800 LWT and the chip could hold 79 of them being only 10.10 peds worth. However, when i swaped to my HG skill which is at about 5500 the chip could only hold 59 points. Can someone explain that to me? Shouldnt it be able to hold more of my HG points than my LWT points?

Yeah It should. That's strange...
 
Yeah, thats what i figured. So um is this some new bug or just the right time to chip out HG skills? ;P
 
What I've experienced is that there are short term slow-downs in skill gains still. I'm sure there's a chart around that shows it. But in your example....skill gain (and consequently the amount that can fit on a given chip) at 5500 is slower than at 5800.

i think different skills has different values if filled to esis. i chipped out all of my skills a week ago, and the same amount of dodge and evade wasnt equal for example. it changes by skill.
 
If thats so, then it completly kills all esi charts ever made. I sent a support case about it to check whats up... ill post the anwser it get here.
 
Here's the answer. It's expected behavior according to current knowledge of skills -- nothing new.

No
The growth isn't linear
Is a curve with ups and downs in growth

Basically is what it means is that sometimes is is harder and therfore it is worth more in terms of chip tt to do the same interval of skills.

to go from 5730 to 5800
in your example seem to be as hard as going from 5440 to 5500

I can yet tell if or when those curves behave but I believe it is not only logic but expectable that something like that happens.

Do you want a even better example: this also happens with skill gains therefore when one of the skills is in a slower gain that other it starts to get behind but when it enters a fast progression values it starts to recover the delay.
 
I have noticed this for a while, which makes me believe that not all skills are equal…


Amount of skills does play a factor, but I do really believe that some skills are higher valued then others.. so less skills in chip…

Thats not true, all skills are same, check Doers link some posts above!
 
The sinusoid make sens.
ty, for explain us.

They're all equal in weight and the progression looks like this

as demonstrated in the ESI thread kicking around in this subforum.
