enough with this flavor of the month bs once they are done fixing aiming or what ever they do. Balancing will be come much better and then we can stop seeing fotm.

to the p2w guy -Respecs are less p2w than boosters or aur weaponry. Im not going to play a game come across a sniper and say " hey why don't I replace 14mill sp and become a sniper to kill that guy" Some people have jobs or are getting ready to go to university and cant spend every week capping out for months so they can get equipment they don't like. Respecs will keep people playing.

im in the same boat only I have every vehicle type, would be nice to try some new stuff.

oh yea cuz paying money for a respec once every couple months is totally unreasonable

Any new suit proto is what, 1.5 mil and a racial suit is what, 2.5 mil or something? So people are suppose to grind this boring game for weeks / months to get something new simply because their class offers nothing anymore?

Proto gear is needed for PC, which was about the only thing I played in this game since lolpubs.

I played this game since E3 last year, grinding every week to get SP to try new things. Now that I'm where I am SP wise, and I want to try new things, I'm suppose to continue grinding? lol... nice way to keep people playing huh?

What do you think people rather? More grinding in lolpubs, or paying to get a respec on their hard earned SP? For the betterment of the game, people should be able to pay to get a respec on their SP ALREADY EARNED.

long term specialization? How is this possible when not everything is in the game? Heavies have 1 suit, scouts have 2 suits. How is this specializing into anything? Sounds more like being forced to spend SP on a race you don't want but have no choice.

not sure if trolling at this point...

get rid of the SP system is your argument? smfh... i'm done.

People choose?

lol... people are forced to choose a race, yet you're still preaching specialization? lol...

Edit: this game is not EVE btw. This no respec thing only flies on PC games. CCP running DUST like they do EVE has done nothing but put DUST in its current state.

Yes its going to fail if this is run like EVE. It already is. Everybody just AFK's or plays just PC. Not a successful game in my mind

that's not a choice. That's an illusion of choice. Either is "choose" to pick the Amarr heavy, or I don't play. Simple. Since I wanted to play, Amarr was the ONLY "choice" I had, as well as others.

Again, that's not a choice, that's a forced option.

The system doesn't have "years" of skills in specializations. This game actually has FAR too few skills to truly promote any form of long term specialization, and instead of in depth cool detailed content we just unlock a couple % differences and maybe a high or low slot along with a higher base number.

You max out any given specialization in a few months, then you "sidegrade", assuming you had the patience to sit on the only thing keeping the game remotely interesting at this point (SP). If you sidegrade first and spread out your skills, you can compensate a little for having low FPS skills by being more versatile, since having better gear won't make up for you lack of skill in the first place.

This game does not promote long term specialization because specializations are a joke and the only reason people fear FoTM is because there is a striking lack of customization in this game to the point where a system designed to support "endless" specializations boils down to a few choice builds in the build touted by the game designers to be a big step in the right direction.

One word

Flaylock

This game in the past few months have gone from like 6000 at a time to like 4000. Thats A LOT of players lost. Not many players i used to play with even play at this point.

I had plenty of friends quit the game at Uprising cus they hated it. While in Chromosome they played like all day.
