Respecs would help diversity.

Oh but wait! You can re specialize in a matter of weeks/ months if you grind and cap out every chance you get.... New players look at this like "WTF?", then leave.

This game needs monthly respecs that cost $5-10 worth of Aurum, with ISK variants priced at 50-100mil ISK. CCP gets more Aurum sales. Players get more diversity in the game. Decisions matter for that month. Noobs and vets are happy.

What's wrong with that again?

You obviously don't understand FOTM and DUST.... and it makes me sad that you make long post's.

Pretty sure this joker wants constant respecs.

But, back to the point Aero, you have a valid argument, I just don't agree with it philosophically. I also think that if we set the precedent that every time one tree gets changed, we get a full respec, you're on the slippery slope to 2, 3, 4 more respecs in the next several months: Oh wait, I want to change something again, I forgot to do it with the respec we got 5 weeks ago, now you added the assault drop ships back, I know 1/3 of the racial weapons aren't in yet and the suits are 3 months away, but can I haz another respect plz?

I know, right? The example doesn't even make sense, how are respecs going to help you adapt to changing battle conditions? Should we just abandon that mechanic altogether and everyone gets access to everything? Or, are you going to respec on the respawn screen? What game are you playing?

Wow, you said it twice, so that must be the greatest argument ever.

Once someone resorts to the sky is falling tactic, with nothing else to support their opinion, their role in the discussion ends as far as I'm concerned. Aero, I personally don't think it's the way to go but you have a valid argument. In fact, if your way ends up using the least amount f CCPs resources and streamlines things to make playtesting easier, maybe I can even get behind it. Either way all the white noise surrounding this topic is tiresome.

I guess we will see how CCPs coin flip goes, lol.

Either a respect is necessary or perhaps even a simulation battlefield/ machine for corporations where testing fits, weapons, and such, etc is possible without the necessary skills allowing players to figure out what they want to do with their SP and ISK before skilling into the actually items.

They should have a respec button u can use ONLY once and it should be per account, not per character. If u decide to use it now, then thats it (NO MORE RESPEC FOR U!), or u can choose to hold to it and use it when theres a patch CCP releases that u do like (of course if u use it then, then thats it for u too).

Also just the simple fact that they've added even MORE SP sink skills that you're forced to pick up as a vehicle user.

These are skills that you never would have not trained, and SP you may have placed elsewhere would not have been purchased had you known of these new mandatory skills.

And the last respec (after official release) was over a few typos and some bad press. This literally guts the entire tree, removes 10 vehicles, introduces a slew of new mandatory skills, changes turret functionality completely, and overall completely alters the way each vehicle class is played.

Expect heavy AV nerfs in the future as well, if they decide to stick with their current plan for vehicles.

all of you people opposing respec's do realize what they're doing to the vehicle skill tree right?

• they're removing vehicle roles such as the logi and assault dropship : what exactly do you want to happen to sp invested in these skills just go away like it never existed?


• they're combining the caldari and gallente vehicle operation skills : so what will happen to this sp the same as the above


• they're adding new skills as prerequisites for skills we already have : so will we just be able to skip these?

and much more a respec is the only option we have and not a partial respec i think that it may be harder to implement then just a full respec and im sure we all don't want CCP to waste their time
