First off I am not a Dev and all my time invested in this game is for my fun and selfish enjoyment. The work a Dev does in one day dwarfs my meager existence for their game. The CCP stance on limited Respecs is known but not understood. I would love to be informed on the design and purpose of the non Respec... after they read ninja's post.
Here is the original forum post that I quote from. forum
Quote:Side-Note: As a Tanker I have 13 Mil invested in Vehicle Trees. This includes 1 Lvl of Limbus LLAV & an "SP Sink" into Vehicle Maneuvering 5 (1.2 Mil of wasted SP on absolutely nothing.....) This is literally in only STD Madrugar Optimization, no Transporters, Shield Hardeners, MCRU, etc......just the Base Max for a Solo STD HAV with Proto Turrets. Not even my Large Missiles got past Level 3, & Small Hybrid is @ 2. I knowingly avoided the serious SP/ISK Sink that is LOLEnforcers, yet even with the accidental Maneuvering Fail.....& only access to STD HAV.....I still managed to dump 13 Mil into a very limited Class.
Vehicles will be even more limited in 1.7.....yet will require an even greater SP Sink. I'm @ about 34 Mil SP.....but guess what??? I'm not comfortable with being the ignorant masochist who hoardes 19 Mil Unallocated SP in hopes that I may get to actually spec Tank. I can't sit idle on my investments for a Year+ in prayer that this game gets good. I can't be complacent & wait as CCP literally subtracts from my investments every step of the way.....(No ADV, PRO, ENF, less Module Variety & Slots), while most Infantry have fun with everything up to Officer Tier.....& LP Store exacerbates the issue. What about that Pilot Suit that I've been awaiting since "Alpha"???
So I spend 19 Mil SP on a MinLogi AR with max Cores & Equips (Except ADV Scanner & STD Uplink). Why you ask??? B/C I want to try and play this F**KING "Game", & sitting on my hands with near 20 Mil Unallocated is counterproductive as F**K!!!!! As a Vehicle Main I had an intended Path, that has now been lead astray because subtracting Content while adding SP Sinks to an already terribad SP/ISK Sink is the CCP Dev FOTM.
Is the expectations of Devs that a vehicle user save all the earned SP...for when they add the upper tier vehicles? Ninja's point is so accurate.
Please... a total Respec. Breath some life into the game. No one would leave the game but many may come back...gifts are never bad...Christmas is around the corner. There is no down side. |

Would it not make more sense to do an infantry respec when the racial variants are added and bonuses reworked?

Honestly, I'm surprised I still want to keep my scout class despite the total uselessness of the suits and how marginalized the scouts have become.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

100% agree with you, Doc ...and Pokey's correct.
I think an acceptable solution is to wait for the racial dropsuit push (which hopefully gives some love to scouts and heavies). The concern is when that might be. Lots of speculation that Jan and Feb will see some new suits and kit coming out but that is guesswork.
What if CCP would throw a marker on the table and say something like "lots of small fixes and maybe a map or two AND all scouts and pilot suits in Jan....and the goal is all heavies in Feb. we are evaluating the idea of partial respecs but are a long way from a decision on this."
That would pipe down a ton of the rage and you might get a rash of booster purchases. If they deliver 70% of that it would be a major win for the Devs and player base. Word would get around and players that took off might very well fire up Dust again and put the passive SP gain to use. |

I have never experienced a Respec since I joined Dust 514 like 5 months ago or something, but having invested in the Flaylock Pistol right before it got nerfed 4 months ago and now having invested 1.5mil SP in AR skills because I didn't know they were going to add Minmatar Combat Rifles in the next update I've been longing for a Respec more than ever..
C'mon CCP give us our Respecs already! D:

I hear you point OP and the argument is fair. However, like one of the other posts on this thread I agree that we will probably not see anything until the other suits are released and the skill tree is reworked. I would expect that to be the next major overhaul. After that I expect smaller updates to glitches, new weapons coming out one at a time, special dropsuits, new equipment, new vehicle variations... give it another 5 months (5/14). The two year anniversary might be the next big thing. |
