No.

And the only MMO RPG game that has been running for 10 years that has managed to keep a good progression for both newbie and veteran players is... TADA!!!! EVE ONLINE

Those games you mention are either ****** (WoW), or not particularly relevant nor long-running.

Respec-entitlement will only lead this game to the abyss of power-creep. Second Decade Collectors Editions, I plan on getting the Third. Are you?

oh grow up bendtner and stop reading to far into a two letter responce. I simply meant that the general rule for every rumor is that unless that there is a official post the answer is no. Hell there is no official word that the new suits are going into 1.8, just wild speculation.

The point could be made that the logi-assault FOTM players have already had the benefits of the SP they put into those dropsuits, and when the nerf-hammer finally falls they have had a good run.

Now the suggestion is that they do not pay the usual dues of FOTM chasing, that is to say having SP invested in skills they don't need in the next FOTM they decide to chase.

Now there will always be new *stuff* to skill into that CCP didn't get around to adding the first time around, or changes that some people will see as 'game-breaking' for their special brand of playstyle... Yet why the respec fetish, are you so upset that you can't reshuffle all your SP into this season's FOTM that you are willing to destroy the long-term prospects of DUST?

(And no, I'm not just suggesting the death of DUST as a drama thing, It is actually based on long-term observation of various skill systems)

Enjoying that breathing-entitlement or posting-entitlement? When vehicle/turret skills changed were people entitled to get those SP back? In any case you are entitled to your opinion Rasatsu.

Just a respec for dropsuit related skills. Nothing too much.

As someone who would spec into the same crap he had, a respec would be more than fine if they had one with the new suit stats and bonuses.

It's not about stupid-people who specced into logis to get the "slayer" advantage but about players who went into a suit because of a specific role and possibly have to change.

Some people wanted to have max DPS and had to go into Assaults(which seemed logical) but if Commandos get the max DPS, players will want to go into Commandos(although it's a specialized role >.>).

Some people got into a specific logi suit just for the stats but now with the bonuses, they might want to spec into Caldari if they love nanohives and injectors or Minmatar for the reps or Gallente for the scans.

People who went into assaults because the scouts weren't up to par and now that the scouts are getting just a little bit of love, they would want to change.

People who got out of heavies because they didn't have their racial variant or actually because they were nerfed, would want to go into them now.

I could go on and on and on.

Just a respec for dropsuit related skills. Nothing too much.

As a wise man once said, sometimes you want grilled cheese sandwich but if that gets nerfed you want the tomato soup.

Destroying DUST? Most RPG games I know of have some sort of respec system, WoW, Mass Effect 3, Borderlands1&2. Those are awesome games, and you think by giving respecs in DUST will ruin the game. I disagree with you.

Unless, of course, shortly after being delivered your grilled cheese, it turns into a ham sandwich. Point in case.

Why not?

Most likely going to be a refund for all dropsuit related skills.

So Dropsuit Core Upgrades, and the Dropsuit skills themselves.

Just like with new tanks, CCP gave back the SP everybody spent on vehicles, so the most reasonable thing to do is to offer a RESPEC at least for the ARMOR branch.

If they don't... ok, they'll handle everyone raging here!

I am not sure what is for dinner yet.

As much as I support ocassional respecs, there is something very important to understand here.

CCP gave the refund for vehicle skills because they rebuilt the vehicle skill trees - they completely altered them, so there was no way for them to "reapply" the SP people had already spent. They did not give the refund because of changes to the vehicles themselves.

(Personally, changing core gameplay for a group of players...good reason for respec.)

I guess the CPM isn't all on the same page then
