I think it should be something like you can purchase a respec once every 6 to 12 months so you still have to live with your mistakes SP-wise but there is hope in the future for fixing it.

Hello. I don't know if you guys have ever thought about offering a one-time purchasable respec option in the marketplace before. What I was thinking you guys could do would be to put the option on the marketplace for say like 50,000 AUR. Also, this respec could only be bought once during the entire lifetime of the character. I'm sure that many people would love to have the option to respec their sp towards a more focused goal, especially if they were unsure about how sp worked when they started playing the game. I'm just throwing the proposal out there and I hope that you guys can at least take it into consideration.



Thank you.

For the scouts!

I was thinking more along the lines of 1-10mil ISK to purchase a respec.
So its painful, but not impossible.

respecs are kinda mandatory to have. it's INSANE that the only way you can find out "nope, skill X really doesnt work for me, even if I max it out".. is by investing a MONTH or two of consistent play... and then you're screwed 'cause its useless to you.

Not going to happen. They already said no full respecs. Stop asking. Bye.

Again, the topic crops up.

Two issues.

One. This makes the game P2SITFOTMW (Pay to Skill into Flavor of the month weapons)

Two. It Breaks the skill system in its entirety. This game is DESIGNED to take forever to get a weapon to Proto. Give the option to instantaneously swap SP to another Weapon makes this games life span MUCH shorter.

There are going to be skills you don't need right now. But embrace the fact you have those skills in case you need want to use some gear you don't think you have.

Even Mistakes in Skill System usage can be made into a plus.

Yeah i can agree one a ONE-TIME respec for AUR. A game in this type of depth which means extensive knowledge in the game mechanics in order to fully understand what type of character you are and how you'd like to fight. However if you put SP into a skill that you realize doesn't help you much it's pretty upsetting and makes it hard to really get into a game where SP is crucial and wasting that time is a lesson hard learned. However, I think everyone deserves a second chance but only 1 SECOND CHANCE. It can't be abused since you can only do it once. Therefore someone realizing a bad path can change and be able to start over with now a FULL understanding of what they need to do. Having optional respecs every 6-12 months CAN and WILL be abused. You should live with mistakes but a second chance would not hurt especially to new players.

How about when the flaylock was OP! If optional respecs; one could invest into the FoTM weapon knowing full well they can get out if its nerfed. However a One-Time respec could save them from that but shame on them if they invest into another FoTM weapon again.

A lot of resources is devoted if CCP has to reset a character so you should have a minimum amount of SP before you can respec i say at least 5 million SP. I think that gives new players a decent amount of time to learn about the game and have enough SP to shift things around instead of wasting a reset at lets say only 1 million and calling a respec in panic.

I can see where you're coming from with this statement. And while I personally haven't wasted many skill points in "uneeded" skills, it's the reason I mentioned making it a one time only respec. I appreciate your position though and do agree that it could be used as a game-shortener.

I know they have said no full respecs, but I think if there has to be effort or financial payment to earn your chance at fixing your mistakes then there is a gain for both the player and CCP.
