And before anyone panics, don't take this as an indication as to whether or not we're providing a respec with Uprising 1.8.

I'm calling a Dropsuit and Weapon refund.

I'm not sure I believe this...
Someone somewhat sensible posting on these forums that is...

They essentially did that for tanks, after all.

Even if they don't, I'm going to have some 5-6 million unspent SP after this event, so wtf eva

Even if you are saving up skill points, it doesn't change the fact that a skill refund is needed and is the right thing to do.

Right thing to do is very subjective in this regard....make no mistake you know I want to skill out of my 4 -5 mill in dropsuit command...... but will it actually happen?

They never respeced EVE, and only ever refunded when skills were removed or had their descriptions entirely altered.

You guys seem to think that the occurrence of a bonus skill point event is some sort of way to soften the blow of no respec in Uprising 1.8. That is a foolish assumption for multiple reasons. For one, all it would do is give the players who are lucky enough to have their preferred specialization already available to them at the start of Uprising an even bigger advantage over those who were not. For two, bonus SP events are not uncommon; consider the following,

---

April 24th - May 2nd 2013: Mercenary Holocon Event
During this week all skill points earned were tripled and the weekly cap was tripled. Note that this event ended less than one week before the launch of Uprising which came with a respec.

July 4th - July 10th 2013: Triple Skill Point Event
During this week all skill points earned were tripled and the weekly cap was tripled.

August 7th - August 14th 2013: Double Skill Point Event
During this week all skill points earned from war points were doubled and the weekly cap was doubled.

September 4th - September 9th 2013: Caldari Boot Camp
This was when CCP had no clue wtf they were doing with SP events and made the rules super confusing, but essentially it was a double SP event.

October 1st - October 31st 2013: October is for Winners
Skill points earned from war points in the first three victories of each day in October were doubled.

November 6th - November 13th 2013: Accelerated SP Week
Skill points earned from war points were tripled and the weekly skill cap was tripled.

December 16th - December 20th 2013: Dev Invasion
Battles with the developers opened up in "Other Contracts" and participants received double skill points.

January 22nd - January 29th 2014: Accelerated SP Event
Skill points earned from war points were given a x5 multiplier and the weekly skill cap was tripled.

February 19th - March 5th 2014: Operation Mauler
Every kill with a heavy weapon rewarded you 500 bonus SP and every time you kill a heavy you were rewarded 250 SP, with a cap of 750,000 SP.

March 14th - March 17th: The Million Clone Challenge
Up to 1,000,000 bonus SP if the community can get 1,000,000 combined kills

They essentially did that for tanks, after all.

Which is happening?

I mean, no Logi will be the same, with the Gallente being the closest, what with the built in 2/Rep and the new general Logi bonus (and to a lesser extent the Minmatar will be close with the innate 20% hack bonus).

Big issue being that CCP decided that doing all the suits would be to much, so, they decided to do the bare minimum on the Mediums, leaving them for later. So, a respec now on suits still means speccing a Medium suit is risky.

Also, adding 8 suits when you currently only have 12, and adding desperately needed racial sidearms to balance out the spectrum (Heavies are still hurting) means at the very least you need to give Heavies and Scouts their points back. Plus, the number of people that may have specced a medium suit because their preferred suit was unavailable could be substantial...

We shall know soon, once we get that dropsuit Dev Blog... Which I'm assuming will be the last one, after the Cloak (Equipment) one.

This post is a perfect example of why we do not need a respec or refund. Good job. +1

Perfect examples of opportunities to gain additonal skill points. And I am sure there will be more to come.

I have about 6mil currently without the mauler event rewards. It's looking like I'll be able to get everything I want regardless of whether or not their is any sort of respec or refund. People know it was up in the air so I have little sympathy for the people that haven't been saving up that could complain if there is indeed no respec coming.

Didn't they make a forum topic where you guys could cling to your respec hallucinations...

Requesting Dev lock plz

This thread is not on the topic of respecs but rather in response to the people saying that the new event for March is somehow a confirmation that there will be no respec. This is an attempt to prevent such threads from being created in the future and as such I see no reason in it being locked.

Its clearly a thread stating OPINIONS on why respecs will still happen, Which still falls under "respec discution"

Also Quoting CCP logibro saying the event is unrelated is like quoting him saying that we wont get respecs dosent mean we wont get respecs. What did you expect him to say? really? think he was really going to say "yeah you got us, this event pretty much means no respecs"? If so your more dilusional than I thought.

Not really. The whole point of a respec is that people have skills invested into stuff that they were essentially forced into if they wanted to play a role and had no other choices. The amount of bonus skill point events does not change this. As with my first point, all this does is allow the people who were lucky enough to have their preferred role available from the start of Uprising and even larger advantage over all the people who were not.

Considering how CCP Logibro was quoted, it's stating FACTS.

This thread is not about why respecs will still happen, but about how the SP event does not mean no-respec.

No one forced you to skill into anything. Not having the option for a particular suit does not prevent you form skilling into that suit once it is available. All roles were available, scout, assault and heavy. The racial drop suit was not available. The same way all racial weapons were not available.
