If you didn't want to be a Heavy or a HAV driver or a dropship pilot or a logistics, then you made a wrong decision ... if you skilled something that's FOTM, OP or not working as intended and needs balancing/changing for the good of the game then tuff, save up for the next FOTM using the points you farmed with this one, or start using it how it was intended.

NO to respecs ...

YES to Re-allocations !!

There that's confused you all ... basically when racial variants come out you are given the option to move ALL your invested sp in say Amarr Heavy dropsuits into one of the other racial Heavy dropsuits ... or move all your Caldari HAV skills points into Minmatar HAV.

No need for refunds or respecs ... just need a UI setup like the attribute remap in Eve with sliders to drop points off a Heavy skill and put onto a different Heavy skill or off an AR skill onto another AR skill as and when racial variants are released.

I know right, it's not like vehicles are being removed, skills are being drastically altered or removed, manditory skills are being added, and AV is getting a complete "balance pass"

It's almost as if when our decisions were made, they had nothing to do with CCPs sweeping changes.

Wow, figure that.

That would be fine, I dont want a respec to switch to a diff suit/weapon i just want to be able to reallocate the sp i have invested into the only current AR variant into a caldari variant of the same weapon when it is introduced and im sure heavies feel the same, they have been forced to go down the amarr suit route because they havent had any other option since the game was 1st introduced and most heavies would like to reallocate the sp into the variant of suit they wanted in the 1st place .. this really goes for all current weapons suits vehicles .. the whole FoTM issue is one entirely derived from CCP nnot balancing everything properley .. I've played mmo's for over a decade and when things are balanced their isn;t ever an issue of FoTM .. it's only an issue here because certain weapons/suits etc are stronger than other suits/weapons

I went logistics dropship pilot for PC matches full bore with Uprising, then had a legitimate anxiety attack after two weeks of doing everything I possibly could to make them work and burning through nearly 100 million ISK from my year in the Beta

Don't ******* talk to me about skilling into **** because I want to kill things

I think everyone should get only one respec. That way, nobody will QQ. I'm still with my first character I ever created and effed around with the skills. That means I have some skills allocated where I now know I won't ever use. I've never once had a respectable since I joined in June and, personally, I don't even care about getting one. If you want to ditch anything you already have, start from scratch to specialize in whatever it is you want. This way, new players will stand more if a chance. Maybe. Point is: it's just a game, so just spend more time on it paying to earn those new shiny things. It's not like you haven't done so already. Babies.

TL; DR: Stop being a baby and deal with not having a respec. One is enough.

-- snip -- I burned through 120 mil isk at the same time cos the Amarr Logistics suit didn't work at anything but proto level. But I brought it up on the forums n they fixed it ... people have brought up many problems with vehicles, so they're fixing them ... your logi dropship will do what it's supposed to do by the time they come back, until then you'll still have a dropship you can fly ... n if that's not what you wanted ... refer to my previous post !

What i think its BS that ONLY tankers get a respec.
I have Fully Proto AV and im pretty sure vehicle changes affect AV weaponry AND AV weaponry will get tweaked too.

So Respec for EVERYONE, or for no one.

This, no to respecs; but just tankers because we have a vehicle redo.
Or : No Respecs ; unless my AR gets nerfed.

ITS BULLS**t

Give us ALL repecs options until CCP gets everything out and balaced.

In eve you can raise several accounts with full sp without even playing, or you just buy one from another player. In short yout point is null and void, beside that eve is an mmorpg with stable playerbase, dust is a f2p lobby shooter where playercount at primetime decreases by 500 per month.

Sorry the last paragraph wasn't specifically aimed at you, I ment generally people who use FOTM stuff.

Have you read what the current plan is? I mean really read the entire post from the Devs?

They are fixing vehicles by removing all the ADV vehicles. They are gone. The STD vehicles will have significantly Less functionality than the current version. As in they are losing low and high slots. PG, CPU and HP. The tanks are being redesigned to be an 'empty husk' that will be very fragile until the super special new modules that last 1/3 the time compared to current while requiring significantly more time to recharge (2-3 times). So run in fast, push the modules, hammer away for 20 seconds and run like your life depends on it. Because it will. Then spend several minutes back at base recharging, restocking ammo and waiting for the very limited functionality that CCP/Shanghai believes Tanks should be restricted to will be available. And, no, we don't know what the significantly reduced roles that are supported by CCP/Shanghai because we have nothing to work with. Except a few google docs and they are what put the twist in vehicle owners knickers.

Now consider the DS pilots. Fragile bricks that are difficult to fly* and provide next to nothing for rewards for using them. The only ships worth using are being removed. They will, no doubt, suffer the very same fate as the Tanks. LLAVs are gone as well.

There is not only no time frame for this balancing act but there is no time frame as to when the functionality will be replaced. If ever as there is no guarantees with CCP. Decisions have consequences. And do they ever when CCP refuses to behave like a freaking grown up.

Thanks for the time you put in because we just destroyed your character. Start a different one because your SP is locked into something we destroyed. With a very special HTFU from CCP!



* Why would anybody make the DS such a piece of Kitten Excrement to fly? It is the worst possible method to use for flight controls and it absolutely inconsistent with the rest of New Eden. Recall that EVE is basically a spread sheet. And flying means click and point, but down in the DUST the DS uses horrible controls that make no sense. Plus a constantly changing camera view that is only changeable by the Devs, not the operator. Classic CCP/Shanghai, now that I think of it.

That's because Uprising was deployed before June, and with it came an optional total respec, or account reset.
