Man imagine if you could respec that often

I was just wondering if there were any plans to have a system for resetting your skill points so that you can redistribute them? Like when Uprising came out, the points were reset, will this be happening when every MAJOR update comes out, or will we be stuck as we are?

CCP have confirmed that there are no more skill point resets/respecs planned. None.

Remember when they "confirmed no more respecs" before the last 2 we got?

Yeah.

That was just before they ****** up on the skill tree a day later. They had no choice.

Who is to say that it won't happen again?

This is CCP we are talking about. It WILL happen again.

Remember Boot.ini?

Yeah, they never did that again.

I love how you say redistribution instead of respec , like it's something different lmao
+1

Is that what these wippersnappers call it nowadays?

Not really. People have so much SP now that they're suppose to have proto in multiple weapons that were at one point "OP"

Personally, the proto weapons I have are, AR, SR, HMG, SMG, FLP, Nades, FG.

Proto suits I have, Heavy basic, Gallente basic. I would have enough SP now for a racial bonus suit if i cared enough to play.

So how would giving me a respec mean I get to abuse the FoTM? I have enough SP right now to get Proto MD's and prof. 3 if i wanted

While CCP said no more resets, CCP is aware that Dust 514 has no equivalent to assigning attributes that Eve Online pilots enjoys. These attributes determines how fast a player trains skills in eve which is purely passive.

So things that are like weapon systems requires high willpower and not so much charisma. Eve players get a free one every 6 months, this doesn't mean they can get a bunch of skill points and spend it elsewhere as they please but it does allow for a primarily nerdy character who dabbles in sciences with high int to go into something more aggressive.

This is also one of the main cores of the game is careful growth of soldiers, planning properly over time and expanding the soldier wider not upwards. This is why a total respec is so widely fought against. This is a game of variable consequences, failure is an option of your own choosing at times. While Eve does have a good balanced field (well more balanced) its far entirely possible to pick the entirely wrong skill sets into a specialization or wrong order of skills.

Dust 514's equivalent cannot be simply 'reset' allowing for skills to be freely spent elsewhere. This can be arguably pay to win if there was no time limit also giving the amount of time for something to become realized to be OP to "FOTM" to correction is almost 6 months around here based on current records and thus a free respec with even a time limit would nearly negate the ability to make bad choices.

While yes the game design does make it bad at times under ideal circumstances there shouldn't be too much punishment for choosing poorly and that corrections should be able to be done in a shorter time than it does to start over from scratch. This is why the idea of the untrainer booster was something that priqued CCP 's intrests because its not instant gratification but also a means of correcting mistakes over a shorter period of time. Allowing a player to undo some mistakes and quickly get into something that isn't big of a mistake and without turning into something that can be easily a means of Un-FOTMing instantly to the next FoTM

One thing in this bothers me..you mention resets being arguably pay to win ( and it being bad), yet then talk about boosters that CCP thinking about that allow you to reduce skillpoints over time and basically allow you to fix your mistake. Last time I looked we had no isk boosters, so I assume this would be Aurum also.. wouldn't that effectively make that the pay to win?


Now if it is an isk booster that would be full of awesomeness.. but we know that is very unlikely
