Pausing skill learning?

I just noticed, if we change skills, it seems that progress is not lost anymore but just paused? I found this out when I accidentally switched which skill I was learning part-way through.

That's actually pretty awesome if true.

  • It is true. And it is pretty awesome.

  • Well, I have a weird glitch here.  I paused a skill that I had put a little favor towards, but definitely nowhere near the full amount.  When I resumed it later, that bit was preserved, but now I can't improve the speed learning the rest of the way.

    Not sure if this is by design or what, but it's kind of frustrating.

  • If you improved the speed learning only partially, and start another skill; you will not be able to improve the learning of the first skill any further. Anytime you switch skills you lose the ability to improve the learning speed.

  • Noticed that too, larky lion. 

    I think it's intentional. There is a warning [under the skill being learned] that you will lose your "super speed" if you switch skills. I assume that warning is referring to the behavior you note, though the wording is misleading/puzzling.

  • Yeah, the wording should definitely be changed to reflect what really happens.

  • Actually, now that I think about this, it's a bit silly.  There's no penalty for a second pause on the same skill, as far as I can tell.

  • I have spent loads of time pausing and restarting skills. I find that after a while you can improve learning time again. It also seems to let you improve time again if you level up, dont know if thats a bug or intentional.
