I use the AR - I think it is a bit OP right now. Such as the luck of the draw, any MMO'er has been on the plus and minus side of this coin in other situations, I am sure. But this is not a MMO...

I think the AR issue is that may people dump more SP into AR skills. So in some situations it not that the AR is OP - Its that I have +5 all AR skills and you have +3 in basic Scrambler Rifles.

I would like to try Scramblers but I am way to invested into AR now, like many players, to gimp myself with a SP switch. Even if I want to try it out, along with Nova knifes, light suits, and so on. I am locked to the first choice I made. Or I waste SP, time, and gimp myself going in a new directions for a month or 2 (and growing). I have the same issues with EVE but that is a MMO - This is a console FPS - CCP wanted that way. SO they have to understand we are not MMO'er and that style of treatment = sail the fail boat into the sunset. The game might never die, but it will be a shell of a empty dead system.

So allowing respecs would allow players to try different styles instead of being locked to one, the first one they kinda thought of before really knowing the game. I think players will not enjoy gimping themselves to try new fits, will get bored, annoyed of dieing because scotty is setting them up into battle that they will die or be forced back to their old SP weapon choice to get kills and not die.

Want to know why they are all AR and AR SP is huge +5 = seems OP. Because we can't effectively try new styles without gimping ourselves, might be nothing to newer players but some are invested into a fit and it would take more then a week or 2 or even a month or 2 to respect into a new style.

You know what I'd do if I were given a respec? I'd dump all my SP from weapons I don't use anymore into ARs. So no, wouldn't work.

You need to nerf the AR first, make it less desirable. Make it the jack of all trades, instead of the master.

But watch the minuite they take 1 hit point away from the AR or change its range we are gonna have them freaking on the forum threatining to quit

Combat rifles and any other weapon in that vein is going to cause a lot of tears. The repecers will have another rallying point. Something is going to have to be done because they are not wrong about deserving refunded SP. It is going to be difficult and it is going to be hard to say no to if not done properly.

Hell if they make the lr out dps a ar at 90+ m people will cry like babies for a nerf or a respec

LR does well at 90 meters the optimal may need to be adjusted but it works great. I don't believe at 90+m the AR is doing better damage. I would like to see some numbers on that but I do agree that the AR seems to work too well at the far end of medium range and the LR has a very narrow optimal range. I use the LR almost all the time, I dropped proto scrambler rifles when the sights changed to something I can use and I can tell you that the LR does what it says. With mods and a good suit it is a monster it just needs a wider optimal that allows it to fit a niche. I don't want to say it but it needs to be almost like Chrome was and only allow tactics and snipers to challenge its range.

Respec, yes. More ARs post respec, still worth it.

Give me a respec and I will dump it all back into the AR. Love the rifle. Love it in any FPS title I play and that won't change because the community hates getting killed by it.

no, I support a 1.5 respec but this is not a good reason for it. the Idea of SP is to lock you into a class weapon ect. if you are using respecs to get new guns then it defeats the purpose of SP.

you "gimp" yourself by cross training? my balec's AR has 2 million SP in it tops and it's officer grade you only need ADV to be competitive... you're really not gimping yourself by having 2 guns available to you, it's actually a good thing.

I'm cross training an HAV and my soma is sitting pretty w/ and ADV launcher proto armor & reps and an ADV pg upgrade... there are dumber cross trainings than a second gun.

I agree with Anya here, cross training is viable and in fact extremely valuable. What do you do if the enemy team have a powerful vehicle presence and all you specced into were Scrambler Rifles?

I'm against respecs as an institution, no one has sold them to me yet, and you can't tell u

to get into tanks, or gunning effectively you ned adv skill lvl.
