sick of having 5Mil SP wasted because my suit build got nerfed.

EDIT: If my decisions have permanence why do I get nerfed?

Indeed, but by cross-training I am loosing over 3mil SPs that I can use right now. It took me a long time to get to Proto Logic, and now I am restarting a new Alt. Merc.

Trials and errors is the only way you can get through DUST 514, no-one can tell you what is good or not, but by testing it yourself.
So I tried but I did not care for it.

Now I have a good load-out and enjoying the game again, but I had to restart all over again and leave behind almost 10mil SPs. Will take me months to get where I was.

No matter the reasons, I do not understand the "No" Respec policy.

Thank you.

That's less of a product of respecs and more of a product of CCP not knowing how to properly balance their FPS game.

If things were reasonably balanced and slowly iterated on, it wouldn't matter nearly as much.

Respecs or something like a respec is needed because it helps keep people from getting incredibly bored running the exact same thing every single game. No other modern FPS forces you to wait months on end to be reasonable in any given role. You can switch out, mix and match, and just go (in general).

In DUST, you're forced to wade through the same 5 matches for months to get anything "good", and you are rewarded with a little stat boost and the exact same gameplay you've been playing for months on end.

It's boring. That's the problem.

Letting people swap out their hard earned SP from time to time only hurts ego's.

respecs cannot help anyone if you take math into account.

"We all knew..."

Bullshit answer TBQH.

Some of us specced into Cal Logi before there WAS massive QQ.

To say one was suppose to to predict the nerf is not being fair...

Can any one name a product available to a consumer that requires time and/or $ that can instantly change after the product is in the consumer's ownership? That after said change the majority of affected consumers requested no recourse?

To say one was suppose to to predict the nerf is not being fair...why could it not have been a buff to all other suits? That is just as logical. In fact, did not the Dev's say they want to "change" the logis more one day and give bonus's to equipment uses and such...in your logic no one should spec into logis because we are told they will change. Do you believe a company really wants to honestly sell a product and have consumers buy it with explicit knowledge it will change?

Dust seems to be more accurately selling place holders that can be nerfed and buffed at anytime...screw the customer.

What you should have spec'd into was assault. All the true logi's I know have not had an issue with the changes. Quit crying and adapt.

The real reason all these Cal-logis are still crying: they realize how stupid it was to use a suit without a sidearm to play an Assault role, and now they can't rely on panic nading with fused locus grenades when they run out of ammo, like they could before those were nerfed. IMO, it has very little to do with the adjusted stats of the suit and more to do with them dying while reloading as the other true ASSAULT player switches to their sidearm to finish them off.

when you buy a house and the housing market gets a "nerf" do you get your money back?

when you go to college for a particular profession and then 20 years later that profession has drasctic changes that require further education does your college owe you those classes for free? if you cant find a job in that profession does the college owe you a refund?

when you buy a car and then the next year a better model comes out for the same price do you get to just trade the old one in for the brand new one at no extra cost? if the price of that car you bought comes down in value do you get a check from the dealer for the difference?

life is full of permanent decisions your stuck with... grow up and get used to it....

Wouldn't nerfs to classes in WoW be similar cases where people paid money to get **** and then they nerfed abilities or skills of the class? Whats the difference?

Halo, one of the most popular games out there, doesn't have a respec system.

Cannot claim to have ever played WOW but from a quick Google search it appears they have a Respec option?

To the point players where swapping skill sets between boss fights less than 5 minutes apart. Which goes back to my pay to win argument a guy with 10,000 USD can easily just rearrange skills between fights in a tournament if he had too just to make it difficult for opponents to know what his fit is, team with the most RL money can repsec the fastest.

To all of you that say that respecs are bad, do you have a reason or are you just stating your opinion? I see nothing wrong with respecs, with all the changes they are making to this game.

Yet you still have to play whatever you spec'd into

Ok, so they dropped X amount of dollars into CCPs account.

Now your spy information is either invalid, or invaluable if you still have an active spy, since obviously you have a spy or else you wouldn't be too concerned about what they were running to the extent where you know that teams composition in any meaningful way.

So now this team has dumped a bunch of money to toss around their skills. All the equipment, or much of it, that they had before is now invalid. With a player market they can turn around and sell that back, and create new business as they have to buy new gear to fit their new skills.

I'm not even arguing for a system that would give you such freedom, it's absurd, but I also feel that your point was kind of absurd.

Also with WoW, those "respecs" are in game currency, or at least they were however many years ago it was that I actually had an account >_< Ahhh....WoW....people got very consumed with that game....

Update: An intriguing idea that the dev team will discuss further.
