Save? You are assuming the game is dead.

1. It teaches KIDS there are no consequences for their mistakes.
2. It would give me my win button back.........bad 4 u
3. Once everyone got a respec, they would beg for another every time new items come out.
4. A respec will allow MORE people to be OP. Specing into OP weapons/suits..........also bad for u
5. A repec now would mean nothing else to look forward to! You will just use all the SP to get what you want now. Nothing left to work towards. Fighter jets ooooooo ahhhhhhhhh lol Respec

All in all, I am VERY happy with my choices..........except a few. Wasted SP on LAv's, all dropships unlocked. I have 24mill sp. I have everything I need.

No

You snooze you lose! It;s not my fault you were late to the game. I say put all you low sp players back in academy where you belong and let the big dogs duke it out on the field. All you fkers only run milita anyway. Not worth my bullet. Bunch of scared babies hiding all the time. I have one proto suit maxed, 2 guns maxed. The rest is in everything else. I maxed out lav's and DS. You dont hear me crying respec. Theres 7mill wasted. I play everyday way over cap.

No respecs,the only thing respsecs are going to save currently are the players with buyer's remorse for specing into past FoTM too deeply in the past.

No because you'd test everything in one week and then there'd be nothing to play for.
Opening new things is the addiction which keeps people hooked.

No to respecs.

You made your choices, live with them. That is life. Tough.

Adjust. That is what I did. Rather than cry about skilling into the SCR, I adjusted my playstyle and now, I have to say, I am damn good with it.

More attention needs to be paid to expanding the game's content, not catering to crybabies that messed up on a couple of things and want the slate wiped clean because of it.

You messed up and skilled into something you didn't mean to? Not anyone else's fault but your own, whether you went for FOTM, your grandma accidentally skilled into Amarr heavy when you are a Gallente scout when you weren't looking or you JUST HAD to have that awesome plasma cannon because...well...it LOOKED cool.

I am not one to rant on here, but a constant call for Respecs irritates me. I know that they will never end, only partially subside, but people need to live with the errors they make. If life had a damn respec, I would be a cardiovascular surgeon. Alas...it doesn't work quite like that.

It would sadden me(and probably many others),seeing as i put time and money into game where your decisions(good and bad) somewhat matter and now that concept that made the game what it was against all the other look alikes is all a crook of **** thanks to players crying for a reset button every time something doesnt work for them or too impatient to skill into something.

Im not the best investor ,im just not stupid with my SP and ISK (as should most of the players should be in a game like this)

I dont know how to answer this when the idea of "fun" varies, so ill write is off as a troll question.

why are you here if you don't play anymore move on

After giving it some more thought after reading this and sitting on it,with a ever changing game where trends come and go,where interest spawn and die repeativly,where old strategies and suits become obsolete with new content being added in outclassing it, a respec once in a blue moon isn't that much of a big deal in the grand scheme of things.The respec wouldn't help nor hurt dust but only rub the shoulders of already foot held players already in the game the most, as they had the most time to try many things.You decisions DO matter,they mattter in the way that they build the basis for all future ones and what ever gained from those decisions whether in knowledge or wealth to keep you going to new ones. Yes the game is like a cointoss when skilling into certain things but i like to think of it as more of gambleing with SP,you could go all in if you want on something new to you(though not wise), i just don't what to hear crying when it doesnt work or last long/should have bet less and demand instant reset.As for theories how to decide the outcome of a coin toss that's pretty tough as you have no control over the constancy of your investments seeing as CCP like to break things,however you can only decide how much you can lose on the decision if it goes south.You could watch others toss before you do and bet accordingly or make a throw away alt and spec into something just enough to test it out(good for testing weapon performance and feel) for everything else(like suits,vehicles,etc) you can just run numbers and apply past knowledge and experience and simulate what it would be like.

I'm happy with my choices, the good and the bad, I don't need a respec nor will one "save the game".

This is a F2P game, CCP added aurum items in the hope to make cash, which could be seen as a gamble.

As an EvE subscriber with 4 accounts, I assume their cash flow is pretty cool.

The intention of the game and skill tree is that you spec into one suit and appropriate gun. You use that suit/gun combination until you are extremely proficient with it. Sure you may start getting bored with it, at which point you should start to branch out to a different suit/gun ad. infinitum.

Eventually you should have all suits and weapons and be able to counter anything you meet on the battlefield.

There is no "end game" to this, your character is on a road of constant improvement and with new suits/guns in the future you should never get to a point where you have unlocked everything (most console players expect to unlock everything and can feel a sense of completion, which isn't dust.)

Throw in respecs; people get to a certain SP value, lets say 15M SP. This gives them enough SP to get core skills up, get a proto weapon and suit. They use this suit and get bored of it or realise it was a bad choice, so they then want the easy (no grind) route to respec into something else. If respec were a time-limted thing, i.e. once a year, they are still gunna QQ that they made a bad choice so we are back to square one.

People want the easy route and use statements that it will keep people active or increase player base or (lmfao) speed up the development process. This is GRIND 514, its true, you have to work for your SP and think about what you will spend it on.

Sure I'll get trolled for all what I say, but thats the game CCP have created.

People have a skewed view that respecs will make newer players more competitive, it won't! Vets will be stronger and the gap will be wider. If the planets align and the sun goes dark and CCP add in unlimited respecs, then yes the FotM chasers will be jumping for joy, this is an undeniable fact.

There is no such thing as wasted SP, just poor short term choices and peoples over eagerness. Dust is about the grind, the main issue we have is the game modes and the lack of ways to gain SP. Add more ways to get SP people won't QQ for respecs.

You're making a flawed argument. Of course we are beta testers, we will always be beta testers, the game will always be in beta as I've said before, there is only so much that can be tested by a small amount of people which does not compare to thousands playing the game.

Spec'ing into anything is a risk, everything can be balanced or removed, that's how MMO development works. To say you will end up with a broken toy is narrow minded as its only broken because it doesn't do what it previously did in your eyes.

There are plenty of counters to AR's, the ScR is up there, if you can't see that then that's your lack of skill.

95% of the time I use a TAR. Which is still a sick gun even after it was toned down by CCP.

As to respecs, its simple enough. Giving out respecs creates a FOTM culture. Cal Logi is the best suit, skill into that. Now they nerfed it, skill into Cal Assault. Huge armor buff? Everybody skill into Gal Assault now. And the same with the weapons. TAR OP? Yeah get some of that. When they nerf it, skill into flaylocks. Then when that weapon is painfully average lets all skill into the AR because the new hit scan mechanics make it unbeatable.

Respecs remove diversity in the game.

When there are no respecs, people have to live with their choices. Sure, some weapons/suits may not be as effective at point X, but they will be again after patch Y hits.

The choice that you made when you bought levels in a suit or weapon, obviously. Why is that nonsense?

I don't know if I agree with you.

I think that if respecs were given out after every major rebalancing, the powergaming tryhards would move their SP into whatever the optimal suit/weapon/vehicle is, and would go back to pubstomping in their optimal fits. And then many average players would follow suit, thinking that its the suit/weapon that makes the tryhards so good, and we'd have less diversity.

So for example, if a respec were given out tomorrow, I imagine that a majority of the player base would change to Gal/Cal assaults armed with ARs. Most of the scouts and heavies would change over, and many of the vehicle pilots too. And while that would quickly show CCP where the perceived imbalance is, it would make for a really dull game in the mean time.
