once all the suits and vehicles come out a total respec and then never ever again

once all the suits and vehicles come out a total respec and then never ever again

I'd like the same respec system that Eve has.

... You know they actually don't have a respec system, right?

Best ideas, based on likes, i'll quote and put for all to here. Now on topic what sort of respec systems would you guys try to use? I personally would go with a system where everyone gets X respecs, 2 is mine, per year that can be used at any given point and time. These respecs WOULD NOT stack per year so you can have more than 2 at any given point and time. The "year" applies to when the respecs were used so there's no abusable deadline.

Let me know what you guys think and what ideas you have. I also want to clarify that this tread thread isn't for people to complain about respecs. This is a thread to discuss what system the majority of us that DO want it can agree on.

None, because respecing doesn't force you to:

A) Deal with the fact that you've made mistakes

B) Destroys the feeling of permenancy currently associated with your choices which makes you really consider each choice deeply before you jump in.

C) Deprives you of the learning and sometimes joy when you find out that an accidentally/mistakenly bought skillpoint is actually quite useful.

I'd also like to point out that any respec is destructive to the game since all players will just constantly spec into the flavor of the moment destroying any semblance of play style diversity.

Respecs for AUR are awful because they promote a pay to win environment (see previous FOTM comment) and respects for large isk amounts give a huge advantage to the rich vets.

In summary, respecs are an awful idea and CCP has said there will be no more of them anyway so just give up on it. The rest of us are tired of verbally thrashing you for wanting a respec.

EVE players get a remap of their core skills on a yearly basis.

While not their skills on the whole, for a FPS such as this, perhaps a yearly remap wouldn't be too bad? Maybe every 6 mo.? Thats a long time in terms of a game like this. CoD replaces it's games with a new edition yearly. While DUST may not go that route, expecting people to be playing 1-2 years from now is unlikely, at best. Need to work within that time frame.

we get 1 refund tokens every 6 months for a cost of 25 million isk each token
-it can only refund one skill only no matter what level.
-if you brought one token but didn't use it will be gone after a month.
-if you decide to use it your passive sp gain will be halved for a month.

I would like to see this type of respec system.

Your thoughts?

The MAG respec system

everyone gets 1 refund token every 4 months for FREE.
-it can only refund one skill only no matter what level.
-if you didn't use the token it will be gone after a 2 weeks.
-if you decide to use it your passive sp gain will be halved for a 3 weeks.

I changed a little bit to minimize the penalty a bit and i feel like this system is better.

Criticize my idea so I can come up with other respec system and I can also see the flaws of my ideas.

what was the MAG respec system? never played it.

Either way... I'm at 23m SP. If I got a respec... it is 17 million to max out those dropsuit upgrades. another 4M at my proto suit. and 2million for weapons. lol. i'd love a respec.

MAG had a level cap tht once you reached you could respec back to level 1. The other system was... Well i don't remember I think you basically payed some price in SP and you could choose which things to spec into again.

What if they simply got rid of SP system for weapons/suits and make it more like the CoD(I don't know what else to compare it to i think BF) where usage and fimilarity with the weapon increases your ability with it and the things you can fit on it. In a way it'd be like EVE/CoD. the downfall with CoD when it comes to weapons is the fact that they aren't really unique but in D514 that's not the issue.

So basically the amount of time(games) you use a racial weapon type and the amount of kills, with the types of kills, increase certain skills on it. Like "reach x kills with the HMG increases it's stability".

No readily available respecs.

Just a courtesy respec offer every major patch, until all of the suits, vehicles, and equipment comes out.

I know what you're trying to say. It's a good idea, but most folks will read the "like the CoD" part and immediately stop reading. lol

Not quite correct.
They get a remap of their attributes, which affect how fast skills are trained.
