Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 9153	Posted - 2013.10.01 04:54:00 - [1] - Quote I think giving respecs for AUR or $$$ would break the spirit of the game. Proof? This thread which is probably a result of a player who is now regretting his game life choices.

This thread which is probably a result of a player who is now regretting his game life choices. I regret CCPs decision to make dropships garbage then offer me a way out only to pull their collective heads out of their asses months later (one can only hope) leaving me to grind out the SP to get into the only part of DUST that I find enjoyable, doomed to sit on millions of useless SP for the rest of my time with DUST because....oh right, because I wanted to play the game I faithfully tested for over a year and worked through system crash after system crash after buggy ass patch after terrible ass balance pass, but didn't want to smash my system in frustration borne via CCPs astounding incompetence in regards to vehicle balance.... Ahhh, justice. Ahh you sound like a guy that specialized in windows XP but never learned how to use Linux, OSX, Adriod, iOS, Win 7 or 8 and customer support is going to be dropping for XP including no more security updates. As for vehicles the community team is now pushing to get information out as quickly as possible.

What does that have to do with dropships being garbage and literally unplayable against proto squads? Oh that's easy. Its called warfare evolution. You have Fist. I invent stick and beat you with it. You attach rock to stick, then your stick is more effective. I sharpen rock and make ax. .... 60,000 years later You have dropship. I modified a mining blaster originally designed to crack asteroids in half to be man portable and operable and shoot your dropship down. Your dropship manufacturer realizes the sales of his dropship is down and is now working on something to fix it. Probably some new defense software to adjust harmonics on the armor and shields to resist the kinetic impact forge guns have.

How does that relate to actual *** gameplay? To RDVs, to crazy ever changing physics, to random and un needed nerfs, to the over effectiveness of AV vs vehicles, to the lack of purpose for logistics ships in DUST 514 Quit pretending what DUST isn't and look at what it is. So your solution is to have someone spend millions of SP into a path that offers no ISK, no SP, no satisfaction, no purpose, and a rapidly dwindling wallet....and tell them to enjoy, adapt and quit the QQ. This ***** game. Shrugs shoulders. I still have about quarter million in dropships and still use them. I regret none of my expenditures in SP. ... well maybe biotics 5 after they reduced the biotics requirement down to 4 for kit kats. If I was given a respec I am sure I would get accused of cheating because I would probably proto out a few things instead. Bottom line Veterans make bigger mistakes, and know about the mistakes and brood on them. Giving a rookie a respec verses giving a veteran a respect has some profound amounts of deflection in terms of who gets harmed the most. A veteran can immensely widen the gap on his end by moving further out of reach of the rookie who could still by change and misinformation spend the skill points all wrong again. I mean lets say noob got pwned by tanks often in his ar fit, he decide to respec into tanks and find out they're really paper thin.

I was unaware that the omni soldier was a dropship specialist My bad. And congrats on your no regrets. Maybe the guys who've grown bored of some of their choices can just go do some PvE, maybe run a few missions. Maybe they can go set up some private games with friends just to kick back, or go in training matches with their corp. You know, they could probably do some exploration and maybe make some ISK with industry while they're at it. Then they can at least have other things to do while they wait to text the next playstyle that hopefully fits them. I am not stopping them from dropping their current specs and making them train something else. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=113147&find=unread Completely destroys the argument. CEO Pyrex said it too. Try something new. He's only been in tanks for 2 weeks and is going around being a murder bus. Omni-soldiers are specialist at everything they have to understand how everything works together because they don't have gear level or skill levels to rely on to survive. Oh btw, that's what respecs are call in eve. Dropping your current skill plan and adopting a new one. I suggest you find a new term.

So what you're saying is that the team is too small. Ok. Hire more doodz. Takes 6 months or more to import people.

Can you say there will be optional respects in the future? There are no plans as per customer support reply.

It's funny too how many of the so called anti respec people happily took advantage of the last respec. Or those drama queens who have threatened to cancel their EVE subs if DUST ever gets respecs. LMFAO Poor argument considering most of us MUST spend Sp again in order to do anything and most of the players were rather a bit begrudged because they lost out in the end and was no where near as effective as they used to be.
