Note that this is not a confirmation that we will or will not be providing a respec in 1.8, this is merely a venue to discuss it. giving us only suit command respecs is a terrible idea. Suits are dictated by equipment not the otherway around, so we will be forced back into our previous suits making the respec irrelevant... JUST.. GIVE .. US .. 1 .. FULL .. RESPEC
The reasoning (or my understanding) of the suit repec is because of the addition of 8 new suits, 6 of which are heavy frames. Now I don't know if you are a heavy or even played as a heavy at one point, but most of us heavies (Sentinels and Commandos alike) by this point have level 5 proficiency in their suit of their choosing (which honestly was either Armarr Heavy Frame, Amarr Sentinel or Amarr Commando). Now with the addition of the Caldari, Gallente and Minmatar heavy frames we actually have a real choice and most of us would be upset having to grind another couple million SP just to switch suits when we could place it in tertiary skills such as Shield Upgrades, Weapon Optimization, and others which would improve our suits and weapons.
I do understand where you are coming from as most suits make it so that certain weapons/equipment would be more effective (the only suits not giving any buffs to weapons being Sentinel) however with this dropsuit respec, we can choose the suit that goes with our weapons. So yes, the weapons will be dictating the suits we will get after the respec and I believe that a full infantry repec (Dropsuit Command, Weaponry, Dropsuit Upgrades) would be the best option as we will be completely free to choose our weapons and loadout.
If you don't agree with me, Xaviah, then QQ more.
Edit: As for the full repec option, if you think about it, if they do end up giving us an infantry respec then it will be a full respec if you count the previous vehicle respec from 1.7 |
