Am I the only one that would spec into tanks if a respec would happen? I'd switch from my infantry role to a tank.

The respec for vehicle skills is Pandora's box.

I don't, of course, mind vehicle users getting their SP back to put into their tanks and dropships of choice after the radical changes. The problem is tankers putting their SP into infantry. A 10mil SP tanker will be able to create a better infantryman than a 15mil SP infantryman has. He gets a chance to drop his points after the new rifles are released. He will also know how all the other weapons and suits are balanced in December 2013, which no infantryman had the luxury of when they were allocating their SP. Every dedicated infantryman will have millions of SP tied up in weapons and suits that they no longer use (either due to personal preference or nerfs). Former pilots, on the other hand, will be able to build the best possible infantryman for their SP budget.

Now you might say 'no pilots will want to spec infantry', but I can show you a dozen threads with tankers saying they want a respec to go full infantry. Or you might say NO RESPECS EVAR, HTFU, Welcome to New Eden, live with your choices, etc. And normally I would agree. Look through my posts, before today you will find not one supporting a full respec. But the vehicle respec changes everything. Vehicle users will not have to live with their choices when 1.7 drops. They can be anything they want, regardless of what they chose. Furthermore, they can be build a character that's better at a role they didn't choose - infantry - than anyone who chose that role can. This is a major balance issue.

Now the respec box has been opened, the respec cannot be contained.

Live with your choices he says

Big ******* problem is that my choices were made some time ago, now CCP has turned the vehicle tree upside down and it now looks completely different

Which is why CCP won't do a respect again. Which is why they said choose wisely after uprising. That was it, to avoid situations like this.

Live with u F*****G choice
They Nerf Guns u didn't here Infantry whining about re-space cuz the guns got NERF so shut up accept u decision in DUST

Are they still tanks? Did you pick tanks?
That's your choice.

I picked tanks and the skills i wanted for whatever reason i had at the time

Now i have new skills such as the CPU electronics skills which no longer adds 5% CPU per level and also i lose mods and vehicles to boot

I am a pilot, i skilled into all vehicles, no im losing 6 vehicles, 8 including the surya/sagaris

Its like taking your infantry tree and then turning it upside down while making it a bigger SP sink, take your favourite suit now lets replace the skill bonus it gets per level with something useless like 'once you take over 50% damage you will randomly blow up in 10seconds' and this increases by 10% per level so you will blow up in 5seconds at level 5 and then make it a x16 SP multiplier

Now you will die alot more, your KDR will plummet and you will be useless on the battlefield, would you like a respec?

CCP should have never caved into the first wave of "I want a respec." Now whenever something goes from strong to weak the whiners will want "just one more respec."

Respecs are a terrible idea. Once you spend SP it is gone. You train it you bought it, sorry no refund.

[1] And this worries you because? You didn't know before hand so, now you do know, you want a respec?

[2] What happens when more stuff is released? Demand another respec in 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8 years time??



[3] Isn't that the whole point of the game? You sepc into suits/weapons and get proficient in all of them so you can CHOOSE which to use for the battle conditions? I guess you are one of those guys that just wants one weapon/suit forever.



[4]There are not that many high SP tank characters, I could understand if 50% of the player base was, but their not, so balance isn't an issue. Even if it was, cool, less tanks on the field, more infantry to kill in their proto gear.

It isn't being turned upside down, stop trying to blow it out of proportion.

You picked a role, and you still have it. HTFU.

You don't hear scouts asking for respecs, you hear them asking for balances & new content.
The fact that some tankers don't do the same says to me that they really just wanted to roll about the battlefield with impunity.
