This game can't maintain diversity by losing its player base to boredom.

Then run standard, not every suit has to be full proto or even advanced. I run in BPO suits all the time, despite having the skills to run full proto.

You act this game has more then 2k players. WE HAVE 2K (2KKKKKKKKK), if you don't give us respect when every aspect of the game is changing I can see 2k players decreasing. Dust is on life support and if they don't keep the people here happy I don't see sony even considering letting them continue to build this game.

This game can't maintain diversity by constantly giving respecs everytime they change stats.
Are people seriously already asking for repecs with the new armor buff?

I've been shield tanking my Gallente Logi for the past 2 months because armor tanking was crap. I invested in shield extenders instead of armor plates, now I can become a viable armor tanker again. So what, now I need less than a month to optimize my suit for armor tanking....... what will I do being stuck in enhanced modules?

I didn't cry for a respec when they fu**ked armor tanking. I invested in nano circuitry 5 only to find out the injectors were broken and didn't cry for a respec. I didn't cry for a repec when they changed my shield recharge speed. I didn't cry for a respec after uprising because the MD was broken.

Why can't people learn to love a design, or a playstyle, accept it even if it is inferior, and learn to have.... *gasp*.... fun.

So many play styles have taken a hit, and there is still much work to be done, but a respec will only hold you over until they fix the next broken thing. Then you'll cry to get back into what you were before. Speccing to be the top killer will always be a losing battle, as things will always change, so rely on your preferences and experience with one fit, hold it tight, and dominate with it. If there is a true injustice, your time will come, and wouldn't you rather not let every FOTM respec jump on YOUR weapon?

Yeah, I know that a lot of you are seriously hurting, but you just need to wait. If they handed out respecs, FOTM would dominate the servers, and then the inevitable nerf would have people calling for more respecs. This would kill what little diversity we have now.

If balance changes are really a problem for you, invest in core and other broad range skills.

And once again, the best way to play DUST is to not.

Just use your imaaaaginaaaation and everything is just fine.

Still <5K players on average

I'm sorry, but I giggle every time I see you QQ about the game because of your name.

Anyways, back on topic. If you get bored because you specced into something you dont enjoy, make an alt. I have my heavy FG and an Assault/Logi alt. They're polar opposites as far as pace goes, so it keeps the game fresh. I usually alternate days and it has been working like a charm.

One thing many are failing to realize is burnout happens with every game/interest/hobby. If you do one thing too much for too long, you're going to get bored. It's human nature to want to do different things. If you have PS+, and I believe everyone on PSN should, go download a few free games. I have all kinds of games I play when Dust isn't cutting it for me.

I just find it funny how you have to jump through hoops in order to enjoy other elements of this game. I'm not gonna argue it here because these forums are poison pits, but this style of make it now, nerf it later, buff it, nerf it, change it, remove it, add it again after nerfing its buff then buffing a nerfed buff while nerfing that buff....it's aggravating as **** in a game that only lets you shoot the other dood.

There are too many underlying factors and I'm too tired to bother typing it.

Respec will be here by 1.5

maybe you and speaker4thedead and mojo can start your own little qq forum? invite negative feedback maybe?

[You shouldn't go chasing fotm, and you wouldn't feel burned when the game shifts on you. Dust will continually be balanced; things will change. There are valid reasons why we should get a sp respect (when all the suits/weapons/etc. are in the game), but game balancing changes is not one of them. Sorry you chased fotm shield tanking when you were running an armor-themed race. Your best bet should be to save up sp and invest in armor tanking.

Maybe if you're going to troll you can keep it on topic?

This is the difference between RPG players and FPS players. FPS players play to win, RPG players play to 'have fun'.

FPS players want a dynamic and ever changing battlefield where we can adjust to the metagame and experience new play styles in a competitive manner (proto gear is the only gear worth running, you can die all you want in **** std gear but I sure as hell won't bother with it).

I want tougher enemies who have streamlined their build based on past mistakes, with a build i have perfected through trial and error.

I want skill over skill points, and I want to feel like every point of SP ive earned is going towards something i want, not something that was good but was made useless by some change that CCP made (not pointing at anything in particular).

I want rampant FOTM play, with the ability to theorycraft and purpose build the counter to the FOTM, and then build a suit that counters that suit so i can double meta game people.

I can't do any of this in this game... I chose caldari logi and that is all i get to play, I can never use tanks, and i can only play assault after ive caught up in 3-4 months with my weaponry and dropsuit skills.

I'm tired of the same build day in and day out, I'm tired of never knowing if the SP i spend is going to be wasted in the next patch when playstyle changes no longer allow modules i spent weeks of sp on to be usable in any of my builds, or watching as classes go from UP to OP back to UP again while all you RPGers just say... Cant you enjoy that you are playing a role playing game and and just deal with the fact that you could be 2x better if you had predicted CCPs nerf buff cycle?

Sorry, but fuck your reasons and the hell with this anti competitive SP system.

Meh I have almost all core skills maxed out at this point, but I'm just tired.

It doesn't matter anyways, its not gonna change because of either of our posts, but man it felt good to say it anyways. This game will not get good until people have around 80 million SP or so.. At which point youll finally have enough to get into a couple good builds, but I'm tired... I'm tired of playing the same games with the same suit and the same weapon. Too tired to grind for more proto weapons and defo no desire to grind for months for another proto dropsuit.

I want something new and fresh to play with, some way to change up the playstyle and see what other builds are like, but its all hidden behind a 2 month long SP wall, and it all just seems so pointless :/

I don't see why we should continue to give respecs for continuously 'small' changes.

So 1.4 / 1.5 are set to be "small"changes that wont shake up the feel and flow of the game too much?

People ask for respecs to jump from "PROTO THIS" to "PROTO THAT". Can people not learn to use advanced and standard? New players are forced to grind to get anything Proto.

Not-proto gear is a waste of time once you have proto gear.

Why would I run an adv heavy when I have a proto assault? Remember I play this like an FPS and not an RPG.
