Translation:

* I went CalLogi until I went GalLogi.
* Last Respec, I went GalScout.
* Pretty good at Scouting when I stack plates and shields.
* But now there's all this nerf talk

Considering that Dust 514 doesnt have Respecs as a push button thing, the amount of work required for it is similar to hotfix alpha.

No...its just because if u made abad decision then you have to live with it

Release it with Hot Fix Alpha then , CCP could even make a petition and see how many would sign it if they believe that people are nagging and being unfair ... something like a vote in a sense and I'm sure that the community will be willing to wait the extra time and you can make a post asking that and see how many would sign it , if that sounds unreasonable .

I'm sure that many will sign that and wouldn't mind the time before the change .

Edit : It's not like the extra time wouldn't help and might just do a greater good .

There were other issues that were missing from the fix list that I'm sure players would appreciate seeing being addressed .

You could check the forums to see most .

A lot were posted after the announcement .

Then what about hotfix beta? another reset then? Beta is going to be right on the heels of alpha with more things down the list to fix including variants shields and more.

The only respec I want is the one for legion. When they transfer our sp over we should get a respec being as it is a completely different game.

Any time there are changes to the game, it is only fair to provide the players a full respec. When offensive and defensive attributes change, it may potentially alter how a player wishes to build a character. Not providing a respec leaves people playing catch up for the next many moons.

I've had my gear altered on several different occasions, most of which I did not receive a re-spec. I didn't demand re-spec, I adapted and changed to make what I had work. You'll be fine.

Just saying Alpha is not changing the entire world neither is beta; I don't see the need for constant respecs especially with the constant hotfixes coming our way.

It's like purchasing a porche and then you walk out into your garage in a week and find a Toyota Corolla. The decisions we make are based on a concept of permanence. The "tweaks" are debilitating to the point of making all prior decisions completely moot.

You must not understand decision trees, causality, chaos and other related topics. Tampering even slightly with initial conditions can have a huge impact on the outcome of a match. A respec is in order when ANY tweak is applied.

It's like Purchasing a Porche for the same price as a Toyota Specifically because it's better then the toyota's everyone has, Then complaining when everyone gets their toyota upgraded for free and trying to explain why your Porche is worthless now that everyone has one..

You have two sets of mods , vehicle and drop suit .

1.7. vehicles made changes , mods were changed and vehicles were reworked so there was a refund.

1.8 infantry mods were changed , suits now race based bonus and you have full racial so there's a selection . Weapons added , equipment changed , equipment added , light suits changed with the talk of medium suit changes as well ( which we have yet to see along with incorrect stats for some suits since the patch ) and all that was given was a drop suit refund .

More scouts meant more people skilling into their core faster in an attempt to compete so that shifted the game play along with the fact that you seen more heavy activity . Along with the compartmentalization of Logi's going from role base to race base that changed the already changing effects of equipment , along with the decrease in the use of assaults due to poor role bonuses for the class and an increase in commando usage .

The whole game changed but the players have not had a true change to go along with the sudden direction of the game because just the drop suits were refunded and not full infantry , which would have eased and assisted the sudden shift .

Much more than drop suits were effected in 1.8 and what was done was partial and not even that because it was just the suits , which is like 30 percent of infantry .

Core - Biotic , shield , armor , cloak , electronics , engineering , nano's , uplinks , repair tool , hacking and scanners all effected by the changes in role to race based bonuses as well as the equipment changes .

Weapons - reduced damage ( supposedly ) , damage mod changes and weapons sidearm add on .

Equipment - reduced effectiveness , race based bonuses .. instead of role based so now all equipment is now less effective for all logi's and calls for one to play a particular race and use a particular equipment item for that item to perform .

Suits - racial additions along with changes and proposed changes .

Seems like a lot more than drop suits were effected by the 1.8 patch .

It's like Purchasing a Porche for the same price as a Toyota Specifically beca Then use it's better then the toyota's everyone has, Then complaining when everyone gets their toyota upgraded for free and trying to explain why your Porche is worthless now that everyone has one..

LOL
news flash
GAME IS DEAD

so get over it

Before 1.8, I had completely speced into SCP. It was the only weapon I cared about and liked using. The SCP nerf in 1.8 ruined the game for me to the point that I quit playing for a while. I am still catching up on that nerf, and have barely started specing into the next weapon. It will take me many many months to catch up. When CCP arbitrarily tweaks things it causes players to lose a LOT of time that they had spent EARNING a skill. Then when all of that effort is wasted, people get pissed off. The least courtesy would be to acknowledge the neutering and grant a respec, so I reject your terse "No."

I don't get people who say this. If I made a good decision based on the skill/gear bonuses at the time, and then those bonuses are changed by a "tweak" then the conditions upon which my former decision was made have been changed and therefore I should have the right to change my mind. It's like taking a 2.5% mortgage on a house and then the next month the bank begins demanding 7% interest. You might say, "hey, that wasn't the original deal!"
