Please CPM guy don't encourage them

No respecs, period. There is not sp cap. If something changes, it changes, it is just how it is. Work towards something else when that happens and you don't like it. One day it will be powerful again in your eyes. Every respec hurts the game. Those that spent wisely and feel rewarded for saving up the massive skill points need to cap some skills out get diminished when people that haven't ran the ranks and worked up respec instantly and are somehow instantly maxed out in a skill they never touched prior. Put in your lumps and if you are super worried about wasting points, always go for core skills and stop at advanced weapons and modules. Prototypes are for those that earn it and save up.

What a nerf hammer swings multiple times a year. Most idiots will waste it on the stupidest things.

It would have to be up towards a year and possibly a partial.

I don't understand why everyone is so sure that respecs automatically mean everyone is going to spec into the Fotm. I am sure there are a lot of people like me (undere 10 mil. SP) who would just like the opportunity to throw more points toward Core Skills and make up for some silly spending.

How about a free respec for the first 30 days? after 30 days it expires.

that makes no sense

noobs make mistakes and hopefully by 30 days they done learned all hey need to learned and can go poof, better soldier while their mind is still fresh and young, if they get too old they are not as squishy anymore and makes it too hard to reset everything into the proper locations up in their brains anymore.

so your job is to sabotage Dust514?

good to know

That way you have time to test and go trough all nerfs and if you dont like it you can change your specialty.

The date of respec could be the day when Dust 514 launched or New Year

Just an ideea...

I can say the same about your opinion.

Let me put it this way.

This is the same mmo universe that refuses under all circumstances even if enticed with lots of money does NOT want to offer name changes as a service despite being asked for 10 years. Think about it and what and how the environment changes when you CANNOT change you name.

name change is NOTHING , respec is and this is Dust514 not EVE and Dust514 is not an MMO

SP are not earned the same way as in EVE

Care to explain to me why a 4 player game like diablo or warframe or even a generally single player game like minecraft are MMOs?

BTW name change is very important in some games to allude certain punishments of social interactions.

Lets say you saw a guy you hated get nailed by a tank round and you decided to go teabagg his lifeless corpse.

Come to find out he's the CEO of a very powerful military organization and while he normally doesn't mind teabagging he thinks that you stealing the honor reserved for the real killer of that clone was more than enough for him to click declare war on your mercenary outfit which leads to a war that destroys it and you get to be stuck with that blame, "Hey remember that guy named the Trainspotter? yeah isn't he the guy that got his alliance destroyed teabagging someone? he wants to join our group think we should invite him? only to troll him tell him there is a processing fee of 10 million isk and soon as he donates his assets for the war chest kick him.

and as weird or odd or unlikely as that sounds we're talking about the same universe that had wars started over one guy calling the other guy's sister is a tart, a real life divorce leading to an ingame divorce with guns on both sides, and crashing an ingame funeral or a RL person which lead to a short 1 year long war with crashing side getting completely destroyed in the end.

There are names to these stories, and those names haunt some of those characters to this day even.

The Mittani, Vile Rat, Chibbera, Marlona Sky, the list goes on and on. I can only recall one person from world of warcraft as being notable, Leroy.

That is part of the gameplay though, interacting with other players. You will NOT get far in Dust without other people.
