Definitely Dropsuit Command and Dropsuit Upgrades, but hoping Weaponry as well since certain roles like the Commando now provide bonuses for specific weapons, and new CPU/PG numbers so perhaps don't need as much Fitting Optimization, and stuff like that.

Vehicle one was mandatory due to their complete reworking of the tree and rolling like 4 different module unlocks into one skill. With infantry it looks like straight up additions to current trees and changing of dropsuit bonuses, this would mean that a respec isn't mandatory. That said I certainly hope infantry does get a respec as its only fair... Just don't hold your breath because it doesn't look like the changes make one a given.

That said I certainly hope infantry does get a respec as its only fair... Just don't hold your breath because it doesn't look like the changes make one a given. They completely changed the function of certain suits.For instance, Minmatar Logis are no longer hacking logis but rep logis. If they were to have changed the bonus from 5% hacking speed per level to 2% hacking speed per level then no, there would not need to be a respec as it still performs the same role. However, that is not the case, and the same can be said for every other dropsuit. They are all redesigned and fit very different roles. I'd count on the respec, but still it would be best to hear from CCP just in case. ARC Commander CPM Info and Q&A - Status: Open

I'm sure if vehicles still had individual skills for unlocking each vehicles race(like dropsuits do) then vehicle users would expect a respec when amarr/minmatar vehicles come out. But still, any anti respec people have garbage opinions, let alone tankers. Some opinions are garbage, just as criminals aren't allowed to vote, as no one takes the KK.K's(thats censored even, oh the irony) opinions seriously, anti respec opinions are mostly garbage that don't deserve to be acknowledged. That's "MR." Pothead to you.

Only Dropsuit Command? Refunding Dropsuit Command but not Weaponry and Dropsuit Upgrades is like having a vehicle respec but without refunding Turrets or Modules. WTF would be the point then? That's a direct Fk message to Minmatar and Amarr Assault users, who's playstyle revolves around the bonuses to weapons. You've removed their playstyle(s), so having a Dropsuit Command only respec would be near worthless. Mr. Pothead was right.

R F Gyro Clones 4u 1049	Posted - 2014.01.17 12:32:00 - [11] - Quote I haven't seen anything to suggest that any skills will be less relevant to the play style they are designed for, so I don't see any need for a respec. If people can describe specific circumstances in which skills that were useful before are useless after the patch then I'd support partial-respec-by-petition for those situations. If enough people have enough reasons to justify respecs then it would be easier to provide a more general respec and reduce the load on the GMs. That would be for CCP to decide though, and I think we're a long way from it.

R F Gyro Clones 4u 1049	Posted - 2014.01.17 12:35:00 - [12] - Quote Oh, and I'd support race-respec as well. You petition for a reallocation of skill levels from one racial dropsuit to another racial variant of the same dropsuit skill; Amarr heavy frame to Gallente heavy frame, for example.

deezy dabest Warpoint Sharx 152	Posted - 2014.01.17 13:02:00 - [13] - Quote Not giving a dropsuit respec would definitely make me mad. I have saved up enough unallocated SP to go straight for my new suit but why should I have to spend so much time making up for the fact that they took so long to release all of the racial variants. I can not see any reason for a full respec but not doing it on dropsuits with these releases would seriously rain on a lot of peoples parades. And to you guys that like to yell against respecs: Give it a rest. I'm sure 90% of you took part in the first respec and now you get to feel high and mighty cause you no longer have as much of your SP stuck in useless skills as all the newbies. We are all in our bracket SP wise based on when we started and will never break out of those brackets thanks too the flawed SP system. Shut up and let people yell for full respecs that CCP will never give so that they can keep booster sales from dropping. /biomass rant

I'd like to think so, even though I'm on the "NO RESPEC" team, I've always said when we get all the racial suits then we should get a Dropsuit tree refund. I agree that a Dropsuit Upgrades tree refund seems logical too, but as for weapons, not sure. I'm not holding my breath.

Bethhy wrote: It's been 8 months at some point CCP is human and set their bar to high and the racial variants of scout and heavy suits are "New" content much like the combat rifle and rail rifle.. Not Something "Owed" to you that somehow those 8 months of ISK and Skill acquired using those suits and weapons was worthless. So one more respec and everything will be perfect. until the next patch or if you make a mistake. then you want another? or.. what if they add an entire new class and you REALLY meant to be that class instead... Combat and Rail rifle coming out and people saving and skilling into it, having one or both near maxed out first day with saved SP, should be more then enough of an example. CCP may tweak and balance and change anything depending on whims and what they feel may improve their game. The Skills points we invest and thus skills are our history in DUST. Some of us have maxed out alot of different aspect's of DUST that are no longer relevant to the same extent, never means they are useless or will never have use based on what changed them in the first place. That is our history of our character, you want a character option that has close to no mistakes with skills? start a new one or start a separate PSN and use the knowledge and experience you have gained to build that perfect mercenary in his specialized role. But Respecializing King Checkmate? because you made mistakes allocating skills(We all did to some extent) the 8 months we haven't had racial variants in one aspect of DUST hasn't made the ISK and Skill points you acquired with those skills any less valueable. Nothing will be the same in DUST forever and there will always be new stuff comming out. We have more then enough time to get SP and everyone progress naturally there. Not respecialize your character every time something new and shinny comes out.

Some would like to use the weapons of their race instead of using weapons that they were forced to speck into out of necessity and a lack of want. Now since suits and a base of racial weapons are available to finally fulfill the roles , suits and weapons should be reallocated.

deezy dabest Warpoint Sharx 153	Posted - 2014.01.17 14:46:00 - [24] - Quote The combat rifle and rail rifle were new content. The racial variants are variations of suits which we were forced to skill into the wrong ones due to incomplete design. This is totally different than a new weapon. I went level 4 in the rail rifle just to be able to use the assault variation and I am not asking for a respec on those points now that I am not a fan of it. Is the SP invested in level 3 dropsuit command to unlock amarr heavies which is the only option for a heavy our fault? Was that my mistake or was I correct when I looked and saw that this was the only way to get a heavy? Maybe since dust is all about living with your decisions I should have just never played with anything other than a medium suit due to CCP not having the race I would like to play with.

And if I remember aright, there are a few PLC users who've been shafted by skill changes once already, when Cal Assault lost its reload bonus, and now Gallente is going to lose its fitting bonus. Basically, if the Amarr Assault has lost its bonus, I'm skilling into GalAssault and running a rail rifle. Or maybe just a Duvolle. PRO tanker and proud.

Yes there will most likely be a refund of the entire dropsuit command tree, but please refer to it as a refund as respec sounds like you get ALL of your skill points back, which will certainly not be the case.

A Gallente scout that now doesnt have to invest in Armor repair because it is built in can skill something else up.

Essentially their function is the same but their methods are different - this doesn't entitle one necessarily to a class change partially because the changes don't mandate it like it would if they were removing warlocks from the game and partially because you signed off on the ToU that states 'things can change and you might not be happy with it'. People should have been speccing logi because of equipment not hacking speed and with all said and done the minmatar rep tool range and hp amounts are probably better than most other logi bonuses. It might not be fair but nothing says they have to give one, even though there probably should be one.

We are certainly not entitled but why should we be forced to invest more time and / or money due to incomplete content. The races and their lore is one of the biggest factors in the game and a huge factor in the RPG aspect. To force people away from a primary concept of the game due to incomplete content means we may as well drop any idea of dust being any thing more than a FPS which there are plenty of games out there that out perform in that side of it all. Full Respec = NOPE, I have skills in weapons that I put there on accident or put there before I learned to use aurum to test things before investing the most valuable thing in the game and would love to get them back but I am not and will not ask for those back as New Eden is most certainly about living with YOUR choices.

What does entitlement have to do with any of it? Besides which, this isn't just new content, it's the removal of old content. You may say that skills aren't being removed, yet I don't see any "5% reduction to heat build up of laser weaponry per level" in the new content, yet I seem to remember skilling that up. No.

The priest is still a damage mitigator, whereas the Min logi has gone from a role that benefits from speed & stealth, to one needing to tank & move in a group. The Minmatar suit was never an "equipment user", that was specifically the Gallente's role. The reshuffling of the hacking & equipment use bonuses illustrates how CCP have deliberately changed the roles of the suits, not just rebalanced them. No.

Vehicle one was mandatory due to their complete reworking of the tree and rolling like 4 different module unlocks into one skill. With infantry it looks like straight up additions to current trees and changing of dropsuit bonuses, this would mean that a respec isn't mandatory. That said I certainly hope infantry does get a respec as its only fair... Just don't hold your breath because it doesn't look like the changes make one a given. They completely changed the function of certain suits.For instance, Minmatar Logis are no longer hacking logis but rep logis. If they were to have changed the bonus from 5% hacking speed per level to 2% hacking speed per level then no, there would not need to be a respec as it still performs the same role. However, that is not the case, and the same can be said for every other dropsuit. They are all redesigned and fit very different roles. I'd count on the respec, but still it would be best to hear from CCP just in case. To frame it in a different light it's like deciding to roll a priest in world of warcraft - they're healers (much like min logis are equipment users) but they've decided one patch that the healing is going to be more oriented towards damage prevention than it is towards restoration and utility spells. Essentially their function is the same but their methods are different - this doesn't entitle one necessarily to a class change partially because the changes don't mandate it like it would if they were removing warlocks from the game and partially because you signed off on the ToU that states 'things can change and you might not be happy with it'. People should have been speccing logi because of equipment not hacking speed and with all said and done the minmatar rep tool range and hp amounts are probably better than most other logi bonuses. It might not be fair but nothing says they have to give one, even though there probably should be one. That's a terrible analogy. The priest is still a damage mitigator, whereas the Min logi has gone from a role that benefits from speed & stealth, to one needing to tank & move in a group. The Minmatar suit was never an "equipment user", that was specifically the Gallente's role. The reshuffling of the hacking & equipment use bonuses illustrates how CCP have deliberately changed the roles of the suits, not just rebalanced them. It's more like you rolled a paladin, picked some nice feats, skills and gear, and your DM is like 'nup, sorry, you're now a healer instead. And no, you don't get to pick something else that's in line with what you actually wanted.' If ever I had a DM like that, well, God in his great and bountiful wisdom gave us doors for a reason. PRO tanker and proud.

Another side is mostly control freaks who want to mocro-manage everything. Well I say screw them both. Just take a full respec, spec back in to whatever you had if you want and deal with it. I'm pretty much fed up with the bickering like high school kids on here.proto this, tanks that, this weapon is too powerful, no it isn't, yes it is. Blahblahblahhhhhhhhhh. Waaaaa waaaa waaaaa. If we get a respec then either do a full respec or don't do one at all. What's the sense in doing a partial respec everytime something New happens? People should be able to change their minds and tactics. And considering the type of people we have playing this game, we could use a respec. People keep saying that it's not how EVE does it, wellll sorry to burst your bubble but this is not EVE.

The racial variants are variations of suits which we were forced to skill into the wrong ones due to incomplete design. This is totally different than a new weapon. I went level 4 in the rail rifle just to be able to use the assault variation and I am not asking for a respec on those points now that I am not a fan of it. Is the SP invested in level 3 dropsuit command to unlock amarr heavies which is the only option for a heavy our fault? Was that my mistake or was I correct when I looked and saw that this was the only way to get a heavy? Maybe since dust is all about living with your decisions I should have just never played with anything other than a medium suit due to CCP not having the race I would like to play with. The CR and RR are racial weapon variants of the AR. I however had to use the AR in order to have a proper rifle until my racial one was released. I want my AR points back. Ditto heavy suit. I don't want points back I've spent on the newly released stuff, I want my points back from the stuff I had to specc into to stay viable until all of the stuff I wanted to specc into was made available. The point isn't to clear up regretted decisions, that is a by-product. The point is to allow people to spend their skill points how they would have from the beginning if all the racial variants had been available from the start. As irritating as his terrible grammar was..... I'm starting to miss Mr. Zitro.....

Maybe we only really need the dropsuit skill tree respec especially as the SP event is coming up. Devils Advocate - we have no time set for the release of 1.8 at the moment so there is plenty of time to be saving SP only impatience is going to mess that up.
