Skill Migration Math...

[Whirlin]

Someone help me out if I'm misunderstanding the math involved in this... Unless someone has more insight into Simu Math...

254 days remain until the annual FIXSKILLS is to be granted, on 05/20/2010.

You started this migration period on Friday, 8/21/2009 at 19:12:21 EDT. You have 12 days, 6 hours, 6 minutes remaining in your current 30 day migration period.

You're currently migrating at a rate of .002 skill points per pulse, and have converted 79.830 training points this migration period.


No commentary on the training plan, it's pretty fucked up, and I'm working on correcting it now... Slowly...

Anyway... I'm allocating down my fire lore ranks, and the current rank of fire lore that I'm removing is priced at 24 PTPs converted from 12 MTPs...

If it's actual ranks =.874, that should be equal to 20.976 PTPs still being used (10.488 MTPs)... That's the problem.

I knew that I had 2 PTPs (1 MTP) allocated out of lore, so I spent the points towards a rank of ranged weapons. Yet, I still don't have the rank.

Am I missing something obvious? Or is this basic Simu math fail?

I don't know what causes it, but I know the migration math has been off for a long time. It's never made sense to me. There's also been times when I had MORE ranks than should be possible, so go figure.

I don't know if this is affecting your specific situation, but I do know that sometimes migrating points aren't available, even though they should be. I had a rogue unlearning 5 ranks of spells at one point, at 67 MTPs each (a fair chunk of that was converted PTPs). After a couple months of being parked in a premium home doing nothing while I was offline, she had 1.something ranks of spells left (meaning that 3.something ranks were gone, with those points supposedly free). I was not able to add a single rank of CM - I kept getting the ASAP message.

I assisted and argued with a host for a while, but the end result was that sometimes the points just aren't available until the whole thing is finished, regardless of how much you've actually migrated.
