some passive skills are being reworked AND removed.
the scout class is totally different in 1.8, and more emphasis on assault suits.
THATs a totally reworked ground class.

ps: and why the hell do you care so much? if your happy with your scout then put the points back.

That's something that I'm trying to understand. It's not going to hurt you if you get the respec....it can only help you. I really don't see why people are afraid of respecs. If something is FOTM, people will spec into it no matter what.

im about to go WATTS on this fool fo real nigawh lol

Omg your right, why dosent ccp just get rid of skill points and just give every one max lvl suits and equipment, make the game only centered around making amd losing isk, hay we could even unlock gun attachments for every1000 kills we get with that weapon / end sarcasm.

drama kings ftw

I don't even see your correlation with my post. I say there is no harm in getting a respec and you drop to the floor and start talking about...I don't even know what you're talking about.

Its more along the lines that your to dense to see the harm respecs actualy do. Even tho ISW disagrees with me on this respec he could tell you allll about how they harmful.

Orignal Poster you have no clue

I have spent SP building my character around a single design philosophy that is epitomized by the gallente scout. However, they are planning to radically change the gallente scout (interchangeable for any suit really) and it will absolutely destroy the harmonization of my specialization if I do not get a full respec. I will be left with skills that prove irrelevant to the suit and even if just my dropsuit sp was unallocated I would still be boned because range amplification would not apply in the same manner nor would profile dampening and precision or speed and stamina.

It would be foolish not to give respecs with such a proposed content dump. They will give one.

The only thing i dont have a clue about is how this is any diferant fome any change since uprising. Is your only argument that there is more change in one patch than before? If they put the flaylock nerf, heavy hp buffs the caldari logi nerf and added the new cammando suit all in one patch would that have warented a respec? But it was ok to not give respecs because it was spread out?

1- none of the logis roles are being change beside your perception of what those roles where. The amarr logi still has a side are and who dosent like better uplinks. Even the mimatar logi can still fit a code breaker and hack hella fast.

2- as you said people had no time to save for the camando, yet now people have plenty of time to save and a sp event to help, so by your logi no resoec is needed because we have time to save.

3- amarr assult bonus change is something i dont agree with so i would rather fight to keep it then give out a respec.

4-Nerfs usualy have a huge impact on how an item or suit is used, and new suit bonuses can likewise be called balancibg so nerfs do = skill change.

lol you guys crying over you "now useless suits" make me smile, no suit sudenly became useless, logis can still logi, you can still fit your gal logi with a super scanner and a Rail rifle and go slayer mode. And the assults are all pretty much way better off.

Also the inmatar logi will still be the fastest logi and can still fit a ton of code breakers and be used as a fast hacker HTFU

4- yes, nerfs have an impact on the effectiveness of items, but usually not the manner in which they are used. All of those items are still used in the same way, but not with the same effectiveness as before.

Heck im not even sure you are considering it, but IF YOU ARE, stop, don't pander to these cry babys. I have quite a bit of skills in mimatar scout yet havent really used it since the hit detection fix where speed tanking became a thing of the past. EvE is about living with your decisions, and honestly giving people respecs for uprising rather than doing a hard reset was probialy one of your greatest mistakes, Don't make that mistake again, dont let these losers who can't adapt skill into the next FotM. While suit skills may change and stats may change the skill tree is staying the same, and like all past new guns they will just have to skill into new things the same way as everyone else.

Of course the biggest question is, when would they even do it? because you all know its not all going to be released in 1.8 its liekly going to be released over 1.8 - 2, the new suits guns and skills, so at what point would they give you your so wanted respec? 2.0 after its all out? once ever expantion a new suit is released?

another under average tunnelvision scrub that does not know the meaning of "decision"

There is a world of a difference between "Respecs On Demand" and "Respecs Due to Overhaul". Eve Online has consistently given SP refunds for skills that have been affected during the past decade.

Oh look another brainwashed Ivyleage puppet, that wants a reset button every time theres change.

"puppet"

the puppet has enough isk in both EVE and Dust to buy you and your whole alliance

also you do not get the point and that is why you are a scrub. I will explain it to you ONCE and it is up to you to take your face out of your a$$ and free yourself from the tunnelvision you suffer and get better in the end:
1. balance changes => fine
2. new content you have to work for => fine
3. core mechanic changes almost every patch which devalue decisions and remove certain playstyles => not fine

As someone who has enough ISK to buy _YOU_, stop being a puppet.

Um you do relise they took away a ton of skills and completely reworked the skill tree, most the skills where in no way the same or no longer existed, there was no way they couldnt give a respec, the suit skill tree isent being re done or skills removed, just added to.

Do you get it?

Do you not think that changing every single bonus the current skills give is so much different? In fact the complete Dropsuit skilltree gets a rework. There is not a single bonus that stays the same. This change will hurt low SP players the most someone with 30 mill will most probably have already all relevant skills so he won't be affected as much but even this is not fore sure.
