so scrubs stop using light weapons on heavy frames. That's what to Commando is for.

With the DSC respec as a heavy you can choose the race variant that fits your play style. May it be full time Forge or HMG slayer. And if your not a complete idiot and spec'd into multiple suits you can shrink your collection and have a race variant for each of the heavy weapons. And you still get to use all the other weapons. Heavy with a RR is not the most effective killer but it always makes me change my attack plan. So keep an open mind and remember heavies get screwed.

Side note: CCP needs to up the damage to vehicles done by forge guns.

don't worry there won't be a respec

*problem solved*

That was a well written pile of garbage lol :-P

Well they could always reset everyones acount, then we wouldnt have to worry about it.

If they go that route, expect a full respec from all three branches.

Now that's a HUGE IF

lemme contribute to this Assumptionfest

If CCP made any sense...

Good point.
Heavy weapons take a lot of SP to get to, especially the Forge Gun.

Also, when the heck are you going to get more heavy weapons, so scrubs stop using light weapons on heavy frames. That's what to Commando is for.

Any respec, if given, would have little to do with allowing players to change roles. The respec would be aimed at allowing players to enjoy their choice of racial suits where they previously had none. Yes, like the tanker respec, some players would take the SP and leave their previous role. But, that is not the purpose or goal of the respec. The purpose is to allow players to spec into the suit of their choice. Scouts and heavies are rejoicing about this. Actually, you seem to be the only... I use this term loosely with you... Heavy... That is complaining about the oft-requested arrival of racial parity in drop suits.

Any respec given, isn't for the people who want to jump on the ADS or whatever other bandwagon. Will they benefit from it? Yes. But it's for those of us who are dedicated to a role and wish to fulfill that role with drop suits that were not previously available. Real heavies and real scouts.

Let's just imagine that 1.8 rolls around and CCP decides to only refund Dropsuit Command.

Ok.

So, a shotgun scout could still become a shotgun logi, a shotgun assault, or hell, even a shotgun heavy if that's his thing.

A rail rifle logi can still become a rail rifle assault, a rail rifle scout, or even a rail rifle commando, while still getting use out of whatever equipment he once had.

That swarm launcher assault guy can go over to a logi if he wants the added equipment, or even a scout focusing on stealth, or a commando for the extra damage.

So. What about that HMG heavy or Forge gun heavy. How do his skills transfer over to new suits. Why can every other suit switch without losing out, where heavies can only switch if they forever forget the SP they invested into Heavy weapons?

If heavy weapons are not refunded, then only Heavy and Light frames should be refunded SP, as these are the only new additions. Full infantry respec for all, or highly limited respec for only the new suits being added. Pick your poison.

Refunding weapons in addition to dropsuit command makes no sense. Quit whining.
