"your decisions matter"
That's all well and good and would be true if Dust had all of its basic content. How are we supposed to make a decision to play a Caldari Heavy, for example, when CCP releases half a game that doesn't include that option?
I remember someone saying "What if this is all the basic content?" It very clearly isn't. If this was some new game made by some other company that didn't have to do with EVE, sure. I could buy that. But it's made by CCP and set in the EVE world. CCP has established patterns in EVE that they gave every indication they would follow in Dust, and they haven't. They need to.
When all four racial variants of all sizes of basic suits, vehicles, and weapons are in the game, every player should get a full respec and there should never be any kind of respec ever again.
After that if a player respec all their SP into a few pieces of proto gear, and that proto gear gets nerfed and they can only run MLT junk, well that's their own damn fault. |

Once we start getting new content instead of delayed content, respecs will stop. Well, at least free respecs, since CCP has expressed interest in the SP buyback booster.
I agree with most of this. Calling what we're getting now 'delayed content' is spot on. I'll use that from now on.
I used to agree with you on weapons, I do feel now that what we have isn't sufficient. Every race needs a short and long range version of its primary weapon in all sizes. To clarify, we need something like
[Race] short/long side/light/heavy and also small / large turret.
That's at least 6 unique handheld weapons and 2 vehicle weapons for each race.
Like in EVE, Amarr would have Energy, Caldari and Gallente would have Hybrids, Rails and Blasters respectively, and Minmatar would have Projectiles. I use to feel that Caldari's primary weapon were missiles, but they suck in EVE. Let's not **** ourselves.
The Scrambler and Laser rifles fill Amarr's light weapon needs well, regardless of both weapons balancing issues. The Scrambler fits the short range light energy and the Laser fills the long range light energy.
Every race needs a representation in every category like the Amarr have in light weapons.
Once all of these suits, vehicles, and weapons are in the game we can worry more about balancing and adding new suit/vehicle roles and weapons.

Any respec due to basic content finally being released should be a full respec. It should also be the last respec. |
