I'm extremely disappointed with your (CCP's) SP "respec" or "refund". I want it to cover weapons and core suit skills too. I'm one of those players who's been paying religiously for this game since the very beginning last June. (passive and active booster packs and proto suits, etc.) I don't mind your modifications to the gear I've purchased as I understand that you are busy improving the game, but I expect a full SP refund when you make these large-scale changes especially. Anything less is unacceptable. Is this how you do business in Iceland? I expect you to treat all of us, your customers, respectfully and correctly. You've even set your own precedent as you gave a full refund to players who had specced into vehicles. I really don't understand you. Are you really so clueless?

What have I paid for and how have you reneged on each sale? (This is the way I see it, I'm afraid.)

I bought a Swarm Launcher (I spent months speccing into it - It cost 30 euros or so as I see it)
CCP reneged and nerffed it to uselessness and upped Tanks etc to godmode.

I've specced into AV grenades and Damage mods to compensate.
CCP has again reneged and will be nerffing them both.

The list goes on for me and I'm sure for others too. I won't belabour the point. Nor do I want to pedantically break down all the details.

I love your game CCP, but I'm having difficulties liking your company, despite the apparent friendliness of the Devs in the forums. And I'm afraid I'm having difficulties with not feeling somewhat angry and resentful about this. It sometimes seems like every time I build something up, you tear it down and put me back at square one. How many people have quit this game because of your nerfs? Is this how you plan to build up your player base?

I want a full SP refund so I can spec into something playable. I want to like you CCP, I really do. I want to like you as much as I like your game. Please, reconsider and rectify.

I'll be sending this post in as a support ticket as well.

Why are you only offering a Dropsuit Command respec when you changed practically all of the suits roles to affect a certain weapon?

For example if I was originally an Amarr Assault user with a Scrambler Rifle, but I switch to the Minmatar Commando, why would I need Scrambler Rifles when my bonus revolves around the Combat Rifle? And If I'm an Amarr Sentinel, and I decide to use an Amarr Scout instead, why am I forced to keep SP that I will literally never use again?

What we invest into Dropsuit Upgrades is also dependent on what we invest in Dropsuit Command. If I use a Minmatar frame, but then decide to switch to Gallente Frames I'll have no use for shield based modules such as Regulators and Energizers; and vice versa for Amarr & Gallente suit users that switch to a Caldari or Minmatar frame.

Why is this happening? Did you not read through the numerous threads and arguments withing your official respec discussion thread as to why we need an entire Infantry respec? Heck, I know you read them because you locked practically all of them.

[rant]
Does our feedback and opinion not matter? Are you incapable of listening to us? Why do we even bother using the forums if the only way for you to even acknowledge our feedback / concern is through the CPM, which isn't even a reliable source because the only way to get even the tiniest droplet of relevant information out of them is to go on a goose hunt through Skype or pray that they are on IRC, which is an unofficial source that is not moderated by CCP. There is no "hey go visit IRC" or "Contact us on Skype" messages of any kind on these forums or in-game, so why do you expect they community to use this method?

What about that whole hype machine you set up about CCP Rouge? Didn't you say that under his command things would be changing, and how CCP would be more open about things such as feedback? What happened to that? You pulled literally the exact same thing you said was going to change.

1. Announce huge thing that changes DUST 514 as we know.
2. The playerbase points out all of the problems with your changes with truckloads of detailed arguments and posts.
3. You do little to nothing about it, and then release the changes anyways.

I will admit though. You did have the playerbase fooled quite well with that official respec thread you created. It actually put us under the illusion that our feedback, suggestions, and opinions were actually worth something in your development process this time.

Do you not realize the opportunity you missed here? You had the chance to change the public's image of CCP. If you gave a full respec, Tranquility would have been flooded with returning veterans and players, just waiting to throw cash at you. But instead, you had to go with your unprofessional, and unconventional development process that ensures that very few (if any) gamers will ever take you seriously.

SoonGäó may have been funny back in 1.0, but now it's just overplayed and downright stupid.

-HAND

Come on, no Weapons and Upgrades Respec? I don't want the Assault rifles anymore and my Armor Plating Skill is going to be useless. Other than that, though, I like this.

pretty happy with this thanks CCP i might even buy a booster to spec into a sidearm faster

people need to be more greatful that they got any respec at all. it originally wasnt even going to be done.


i, personally, am glad we got a respec. now i can use the SP i originally used on the Amarr sentinel and commando to skill into the Gallente sentinel and commando.


the concept art for them makes them look like a giant Gallente scout.

CCP Logic:

People had to put SP into off-race suits in order to use certain types of suits

CCP Answer:

Respec for dropsuit command

CCP Logic:

People had to put sp into off-race weapons in order to use certain types of weaponry

CCP Answer:

No Respec for weaponry


You guys are so full of sh-t.

Also, way to not listen even a little bit on the dropsuit feedback.

After lengthy discussions with the CPM and large amounts of community feedback...

OK People, I know I ranted a bit, but that's only about the tunnel vision. I don't see a point in taking a dump on CCP over the respecs especially with the upcoming million clone event which will give everyone a minimum of 1 million free unallocated SP. That's enough to spec into a new weapon or finally finishing off those core skills while saving your current unallocated SP for something else.

Although honestly they should give us a partial respec for the weapons as well if it had not been for the upcoming million clone event. And with the 3 day omega boosters, that's a potential 2.5 million free SP right there.

Why has this thread been open for so long and only had one blue post?

Will the "Caldari Commando Bonus: +2% damage to light hybrid GÇô railgun weapons." apply to Sniper Rifles as well? Or like all the players in the game do the CCP Devs hate snipers too?

Ok so as a sniper, I'm always looking to get the best DPS to make life miserable for the clones that appear in my scope.

Will the "Caldari Commando Bonus: +2% damage to light hybrid GÇô railgun weapons." apply to Sniper Rifles as well? Or like all the players in the game do the CCP Devs hate snipers too?

I just wanna say that I am really thankful for this Great update CCP. I know you guys have been working hard on this patch. I really love this game. I would say this is, the best and most versatile FPS game I have ever played in my life, and I have been around since Atari. Sure there are things that can be improved on and i'm sure you guys will get to that. I just wanted to give thanks for this game, and I will be a fan of CCP till the day I die. They have really raised the bar.

1 more thing, if you want more SP, and I know we all do, Lets get that million clone challenge this weekend.
1,000,000,000 CLONES FOR 1,000,000,000 SP
make sure to bring your active boosters for bonus SP

Are you f**** stupid or what?
Who on Earth ever asked for a partial (and useless) SP refund?
Who are those ***** who asked for that?!

Screw you CCP.
