Cannot Return Borrowed SNIs???

[My "MachineLife" MachineLife]

So after logging in i realized I cannot trade/sell or give SNIs back to the person i borrowed them from. The purpose and reason i borrowed them was to chip in and get me past the first weapons so i could be maxed out on the pugio and maybe Snakebite.


I was holding off on inserting them, which in hindsight was a good move - or so i thought, as i was supposed to chip out after i gained more skills leaving me back at Snakebite or better. Since they removed chipping i would have never been able to return the skills.


So now it seems i am somehow supposed to get 25 skills past level 1 before I can return what i borrowed - seriously??


I can understand not chipping out going forward but if i have SNIs why are there restrictions to selling them - I do not remember see anything about this on forum.


So devs - is this a mistake or bug? if not can you please make SNIs trade-able  regardless of what skills a player has? Or at least let me return them to the person i got them from?

If you are able to trade other things then it is probably a side effect of this:

...
Why we are doing this: because we are going to eliminate as much of the "pay-to-win" aspect in the game as possible. Players should NEVER buy skills or experience. It's obvious: we don't want to give too many benefits to the richest players in the game. Skills are very important and usually it takes a very long time to achieve the highest and most effective skill stages. We don't want someone to gain them all in five minutes and go on a rampage....

I would say you are stuck with the SNIs

[My "MachineLife" MachineLife]

I think this is an overly extreme position to take.


Anyone that has an SNI form before the chipping nerf should be allow to trade/sell/give away as they see fit - after all they already paid for the skills and paid to chip them out.

Looks like the Problem hasn't to do anything
with the removed chipping-out itself.

This 25 Skill past Level 1 was added long ago.

If remember correct (please don't beat if mis-
take) it was added to prevent the grab of RIC
and Newcomer Present through Multi-Account.

If now afraid you can't give back the loan SNI
before it maybe removed, try a Support Ticket
and explain the unique Situation. Or try to skill
the missed things to catch Requirements.

ya get skilled so you can give them back...

So now i got all 25 skills to level 1 and there is a magical new requirement that was not explained until after the fact. I now need to get 1 skill to level 10.


This requirement is completely unrealistic with the skill system in place. Skill gain is insanely slow.


From conversations i had in game this was implemented years ago to stop the hoarding of RICs and the such. Then when you got rid of trading SNIs you added this requirement to SNIs.


You seriously need to remove that level 10 requirement- it is just not fair with such slow skill gain. Or better yet increase gains so i feel like I am accomplishing something!

It was likely more to do with prevent multiple accounts than RIC.
You could only get RIC by becoming citizen by AWD.

However, there is an easy way for you to become level 10 in one skill.
Inject SNIs until this is achieved.

Tick-tock, this message (and all SNIs) will self-destruct in 3 days.

SNIs are supposed to be until year end?

[My "MachineLife" MachineLife]

  B) SNIs will be working at least for one year. Will they stop working after? Maybe. Maybe not. I don't see any reason to waste our resources and time to make that work though.

Has this been 100% Confirmed SNI are being Deleted the next VU On wednesday the 10th Sptemeber 2014 VU ? This is very important and needs answering, Anti can you confirm this or Deny it ... thank you ... Cuey

The only thing I can remember seeing about this is what MachineLife quoted, which means we should have at least another six months.

As far as Jane's suggestion,

Well, Jane obviously missed (and/or forgot) that one of the requirements to use any SNI is to have one skill at Stage 10 in the first place.

Oops {blush} forgot that. Thanks both of you

You have plenty of time to get a skill to level 10. And hopefully that will be made as easy as it was in AWA.

   I didn't know that one 

[Jarod "Brickwit" McBrickerton]

It's a newer change, but it's been around for at least a year, IIRC. MachineLife even mentioned that this is the new hurdle that has both frustrated and stalled him about the game.

@MachineLife, all I can suggest is to wait another four days for the big Sept. 10 update. If you've not read the entire thread yet, many of the changes are geared toward making the lives of new players many times easier. I'm anxious to see what those changes are and it as though you enjoy AW enough to continue to struggle with the SNI rules, so I think you're probably even more anxious than I am about it! 8-)

Not as magical as it look. Since 2010 on Wiki
