Without skill multiplier reductions, just all just sounds like "it'll now take 4x SP to get anything you had in DUST." Going to 4 different trees to unlock the 4 different variants of one rifle just sounds terrible.
Ugh why does no one watch the presentations? They're on youtube now, go do it before you make any more assumptions that are wrong. Keep in mind all of these changes are mainly for the NPE of the game, and won't affect veterans very much at all.
They are removing the 5 levels in each node that currently unlock all the different variants of each item that the node represents.
For example (and I'm just using this one because it is the easiest), the Assault rifle node currently unlocks these weapons:
-Assault Rifle
-Breach AR
-Tac AR
-Burst AR
-ADV versions of the variants
-Proto versions of the variants
They want to remove tiers and replace everything with each variant. Next, they will split up the weapon variants into each skill tree (Assault branch with have AR, burst might be on the support logi branch, breach AR will be in sentinel brance, and tactical AR will be in scout...or something like that)
Each of these will be a separate node, but will only have one level instead of 5. Once you unlock it you can use any loot drop item of that type up to a certain meta level. The higher meta level items will be higher up the skill tree, but will only be specializations of those certain weapons. They won't do more damage, but will be more suited towards a certain playstyle, depending on the tree you go up.
_________________________________________________
In simple terms, you get to pick and choose which variants of weapons you want to unlock instead of spending 600k sp to unlock all variants of that weapon, most of which you won't ever use. If there are currently 4 types of variants for the AR, it will only cost you 100-150k sp to unlock each variant, which means that you save sp.
They also mentioned that they want you to be able to skill into another role within HOURS instead of months. However, for the dedicated players, building your own playstyle or becoming the ultimate specialized fighter would then take months.
