If you give in to the gimme-gimme-gimme the demands will never end. Whenever something is changed, re-balanced or added people will want to dump all their SP in the FOTM.
I for one have seen enough respec threads to last me a lifetime, please don't encourage them. Don't give in.
Though if there is a respec I'll happily take one, there's some SP rotting away in skills I don't need or want ;). |

Here's an idea. No respec in 1.8... but wait, there's more!
Re-design the infantry skill tree to resemble what we had in Chromosome -- when there weren't as many skill sinks and skills were more generic (e.g. instead of ammo capacity for each weapon we had it for weapon categories). Make suit specialisations apply to all races (but to use the suit both the spesialisation and basic race-specific skill are required), kinda like in EVE. I'm sure you can come up with some other changes too.
When the skill tree is re-worked like that, a respec suddenly makes sense. You'll be able to please those requesting it, without opening the flood gates for a torrent of similar demands in the future... and also you get to fix the damn skill tree. Everybody wins. |

If I had done that, I would consider it a waste. Or, not a waste, but a huge opportunity cost- that SP could have gone other, more useful places, like electronics/engineering.
Maxing both has the added benefit of making you somewhat more resilient to balance changes. I did it for that very reason. It would appear that a lot of people chose not to, and instead dumped all their SP into whatever the forums said was best at the moment, that's their choice -- a choice they, for some reason, now wish to undo. |

The Terminator T-1000 wrote:I want a respec of dropsuit commands and upgrades. Why? Because the Amarr was the only heavy available so I had no choice. Also many suits are getting new bounuses changing my play style.
In all fairness you might want to give up all the progress you earned while wearing that suit too, in that case.
Anyway, the patch is still a few weeks off, start saving now and you'll easily have enough SP to unlock the advanced sentinel or commando you want. If you grind away and max the bonus this week and the next you might even have enough for proto... And that's not even considering the 3x SP week we recently had, surely you saved some of that SP for 1.8? I mean, since you knew there'd be new gear you'd want to unlock? |

Komodo Jones wrote:why should someone have to be stuck with the amarr heavy if they want the gallente heavy?
But they aren't stuck with it. Well, yes, they will have that skill, but having it doesn't prevent them from skilling into whatever they want today. People seem to be stuck in the mindset of games with a maximum level, where points in one skill meant they could never get some other skill.
Komodo Jones wrote:And also because it really won't hurt the game that much, if people use their respec to skill into the "fit of the month" it will only be good for a month, or until the next update, really not that big of a deal
Yeah, because surely noone will requestdemand respecs next time something is added or changed. Especially not if there is one now.
Komodo Jones wrote:some people may want to trim some fat or change into a playstyle that suits them better, what's wrong with that?
With a constant influx of SP, nothing prevents anyone from changing their playstyle as it is. Also, hanging on to your old skills means that when you grow tired of the new stuff, or it gets nerfed, you have something to fall back to. |

It DOES matter when this game's major monetization route is items that increase the rate at which you gain SP. I paid good money to wait less, and by making me wait more by changing what skills I need to do what I want to do, CCP is essentially telling me that the money I spent earlier was a waste. Not just that, but that they deliberately made it a waste, by moving the goalposts after I kicked the ball and refusing to allow me to re-do the kick.
I guess that's where we differ. I don't consider points dumped into skills I no longer use wasted. Back when I bought the skill, I apparently wanted it, and I may want to use it again in the future. Furthermore, I don't find it the least surprising that they change things, in fact, I've picked my skills based on the presumption that things are going to change. |

I skilled in to the Min Logi for the hack speed bonus. I spent a lot of time thinking about this, and spent my SP on something I was absolutely sure I liked. I've never once used a repair tool in my entire mercenary career, and have 0 SP in them. If you had asked me six months ago "Would you skill in to a suit that gave a bonus to repair tools?", I would have said no, and I will still say no today. My opinion and desired playstyle hasn't changed, but the effects of my carefully considered choices have changed drastically.
That warrants a respec.
I see your point. In your situation I too might argue for a respec. The vast majority of the players wanting a respec, however, have no better claim than "because I want it" (whatever they say), and since I doubt it'd be possible for CCP to give out individual respecs I'll maintain my position that there shouldn't be any. |

Reason why thread is here is just one (actually aprox hundred in general discusion) and that reason is great wave of threads in general discussion.
After aprox twenty pages we did not have any responce by devs.
And thats reason why im really dissapointed (and trust me its not first time here and im not the only one).
Pretty sure the purpose of this thread was to get rid of all the spam in general discussion. It's possible someone at CCP reads it eventually, though I wouldn't count on it. ;) |
