If its not in the works already it won't be because 1.7 is too close, but it would be nice to know where we stand. Also, remember when everyone could apply for a respec because of the minor infantry changes? Everyone seems to be keeping that one quiet. Level 9001 Forum Wizard

Bendtner92 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1414	Posted - 2013.12.08 15:45:00 - [4] - Quote Yeah I like how they haven't justified why they're only doing a vehicle respec. Although that is only because they can't justify it. They're letting pilots skill out of vehicles, but not infantry into vehicles. Sounds really legit. Changes are major enough for pilots to get a second chance to decide to skill into vehicles or not, that's fine, however since the changes are this major infantry should get the same chance. How could people know what vehicles would be like in 1.7 when they spent their SP? If people say infantry shouldn't be able to skill into vehicles, then don't allow pilots to skill out of vehicles either. It's that simple.

Harpyja DUST University Ivy League 879	Posted - 2013.12.08 16:09:00 - [13] - Quote The problem I see with giving everyone a respec is that a lot of players would abuse it. Only those that deserve a respec are vehicle pilots that will remain vehicle pilots and infantry that want to become vehicle pilots. But of course, nobody can prove that they fall under either of these two categories. A lot of infantry players would use this respec to either skill into the new FOTM or further improve their skills because they made a mistake with a skill or two. In the first case, it's not healthy for players to spec into the FOTM and in the latter case, their decisions to skill up an unnecessary skill would not be consequential. This respec for vehicle skills only is not perfect, but it won't be as disastrous as if everyone were given a respec. There's just no way to differentiate between those that need a respec and those that will abuse it to their own advantage. There's a lot more infantry than pilots, and pilots skilling out of vehicles into the new FOTM won't be as terrible as allowing everyone to skill into the new FOTM. Of course the best option is to allow this respec to be applied back to vehicle skills only, but I'm not sure if it's within CCP's ability to do so just yet.

Well, most infantry didn't have to suffer for 6 months straight, and most infantry wouldn't want to be pilots in the first place. And if they did, they would've skilled into it. Plus, It's not like we have a choice; many of the skills inside of the vehicle skill trees are either getting removed, or getting completely changed, so We needed to get a respec, or lose SP due to said skills being removed, or skills completely changing due to said changes. Like I said, stop being self-entitled pricks, and stop asking.

Reasonable arguments, thank you for that. FOTM: Perhaps CCP should get better at balancing, so we wouldn't have this probem? Also this comes back to my post about how this vehicle respec gives advantages to pilots, why should pilots be able to skill into FOTM, but not infantry as well? CCP should be treating all of their players fairly, and a vehicle respec won't do that. Players getting to re-do mistakes: Again, why should pilots get to spend their SP (in infantry skills) based on the current situation, while infantry can't? Again, this is an unfair advantage to pilots. CCP HAS to do a full respec unless they're forcing the refunded SP to be used where it came from (I don't support this option).

Trust in your CCP buy more boosters especially the new FW boosters buy them like a good lil consumer and everything will be ok, don't worry about, They do care what we think. But in case you didn't notice: Not everybody is in favor of a respec. There are at least as many people who are against it as there are people who want one. Then there are the ones who just don't care. And then there is the point that the last skill respec was because the game got officially released. And the point that you get SP all the time and instead of QQing you can just wait a few weeks. And we all know how it would end up anyways: You give one more respec and you think it would stop then? No. The next nerf comes, people want another respec. The next buff comes and people want another respec. CCP wouldn't do anything else than giving out respecs and people wouldn't think about what they are skilling. So just deal with it, save up some SP and skill what you want now. It isn't even a big deal. You can get the most needed skills to advanced level in a month. This is the game. You can spec everything without exceptions on the same char. It's about thinking what you want next. Not about speccing one thing to proto level and then lose interest in it and go over to the next thing.

Pilots can skill out of vehicles because the whole vehicle tree was changed. They didn't have another choice because some of the old skills don't even exist anymore. That wouldn't translate to 1.7 without a respec. And well: Everybody still has the same options. You can, even as an infantrist, just wait a few weeks and spend your next SP into vehicles. Nothing is stopping you from doing this. Why do you think you should instantly be able to spec the whole vehicle tree to level 5 even though you only played as an infantrist so far? You wouldn't even profit from that because you would blow up more often because you don't even know how to use vehicles yet.

The respec you could apply for was due to confusion over the transition from beta to quell some of the whining. It came with the notification that it was the last full respec. Only partial refunds would happen if skill tree changes required it. CCP has announced the only planned skill refund so I have no idea what else you are waiting for. // Adapt or Die // Matari Logistics / Scout / Dropship Crash Tester // @ReesNoturana

Message from Godin: Look, it's already been decided. You're not getting one, nor is any other infantry player. It doesn't matter what you say, they're not giving you one. And seeing this, if you skilled mostly into medium frames (seeing how you're acting, I'm assuming so), then you're not getting one when they bring in the racial Light Frames and Heavy Frames. The only time you'll probably get one is when tiercide happens in the year 2020. Just stop asking........

That's just being a FOTMer, and CCP is trying to prevent that practice by doing this. And that's their choice for going infantry. Think of it as a reward for being tortured for months on end.

I don't know why people always feel the need to make assumptions, especially not when I'm just trying to get equal options and treatment for everyone. If you really want to know though, I can say that I'm getting about 2.5 million SP refunded from vehicles that I chose to skill into months ago. I don't think it's fair I get to pump that into infantry when they can't go the other way. I'm also more than satisfied with my infantry SP, which is mostly in medium suits yes, but I also recently skilled a bit into Scouts (which I don't regret). I also didn't skill into any FOTM, I have 0 SP in Caldari Logi for example. Winner of the EU Squad Cup & the closed beta Tester's Tournament. Go Go Power Rangers!

I'm a pilot as a main, and still has more SP in infantry than you have in vehicles. 2.5 mil is nothing; that's chump change. I'm getting back a good 17 mil SP. Plus, there's way more FOTM's than the Callogi. Skilling a bit into something and saying that you don't follow the FOTM is just like saying I killed someone but gave a kid some candy so it's okay.

This wass a forced choice by CCP to make everyone spend over 1 million skill point's on a skill point sink for something no one could escape from leveling into. It was a respec for 99% of the people who where affected. A respec now would cater to a very small percentage of people that would even "need" it.

They reimbursed the SP when they changed the multiplyer from 6x to 3x or something like CCP has done for 10+_ years in EVE online. But as far as taking 2 lvl's of the skill off of 99% of the people that came from open beta... Would of taken crazy amount's of time.
