There's only a handful with that much.

I'd say under 20.

I'm at 68.3 after this event.

I'd say the 15-20 Mil SP player probably gains the most.

while I have some sp in skills I regret, I'm kind of for and kind of against respecs.

On one hand, I don't see how respecs harm the community, and they are a good way of retaining players, especially new ones who are hovering in the 1 million to 10 million (where a respec would help the most).

On the other hand, too many respecs will really play havoc with fotm builds. So I think we should have a respec once in a blue moon. maybe once every three or four hotfixes, and one at the beginning of every client update or inclusion of new guns and suits etc. But no more than that and definitely not one after we just finished the Million Clone Challenge.

If you can't wait until then, I think CCP should charge money for special skill boosters that reset your sp for a respec. That way if you really really want a respec now, you at least help CCP stay up a little longer (and thus help the rest of the players to enjoy Dust a little longer).

Hard nerf(s), & new sp allocations for newbies.
Must have a re-spec, also most of the vets already got 70+mil SP & skilled into what they want.
So please let us, the new players, receive a well deserved re-spec so we have either an edge against the vets or be on a sub par level of competing against them.

Think about it this way, you essentially give me back 47 million skill points to spend back into things I wanted. You would also leave prone FoTM (good lord I hate using this term) as I expected from this past Million clone challenge event when everyone was handed a free 2 million (3 million if you had a booster. 4 million if you had an omega? someone check for omega.). To me 2 million alone was enough to get the desired suit or get things in your drop-suit core upgrades done (I really hope new players did this. Core upgrades help out in the long run).

Even veteran players like myself made horrid choices to spend skill into and wish we had N number of chances to correct the n number of mistakes (N being a variable of times we need to realize we screwed up and wish for do-overs. n being a variable of the number of screw up we did or a skill we found to be useless).

I agree there should be a re-spec but up to a max out value to keep players like myself from becoming more dangerous. I say people under 20 million could have a re-spec.

Then I guess decisions don't matter and you shouldnt be responsible for the ones you make. Just the opposite of what this game was built on. Spend wisely.

Agreed , even more so with a game that's on life support .

I for one would .. can't understand those who are against it , just don't file for one ... a system should be set up in place so that those who would like one , can file for one after delta so we can be done with this subject and get this whole thing over with already .

I can see why it wasn't done after the infantry changes before FF but now , that there were more changes .. it's only right and would even up the playing field so that those who are really assaults can be assaults and get out of scouts and heavies .

I could care less about FOTM because right now there is no clear cut FOTM and that's the way it should be but the oversaturation of scouts is killing this game for a lot of players as you can see posts from players on a regular .

After Delta , a thread should be in place for players to become informed and then a filing process so that those who would like a refund can acquire one and those who don't , won't be bothered .

Lets get this done already so that we can move on and some fun can be had by those who are clamoring for a refund , if it's a full or infantry ... right now with the climate and how boring this game is for some , this could bring some new energy into the whole mix .

Thread number #1075.



BTW, respecs help MORE mid-range veterans than juniors.

How 'bout them Dallas Cowboys?

This mantra has been sung since the game went into full release on almost a daily basis and at least weekly. Console FPS players can't handle how DUST handles SP and therefore beg, plead, threaten and curse everything to try to get what they want. I haven't played since FF and I had just broken 24M SP and I was it the first wave of closed beta players. Respecs don't help as much as people think they do. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the fat get fatter because they keep doing the same things that made them that way. Poor or uninformed SP placement will never change and "noobs" will always make the same mistakes, players will always cry foul to try to get RESPECS!!! because of a tweak and good players will always beat bad players no matter the SP. Weird how that works.

Hard nerfs, & new sp allocations for newbies.

So please let us noobs get a respec so we nhave an edge against the vets.

You know with the way that this game is and how so much is out of wack , it would be fun to have one's destiny in their own hands and allow players to change with the game and the knowledge that they now have .

It would be nice for players to play to their full potential every match ( note the spinning MCC and home spawn guardians and people who team kill and players who jerk off in vehicle turrets and so on ) and some would like to use their skill points in ways that help them to feel that they have more of a hold in the creation of their character .

Your totally missing the point of why some would like a refund .

Create a better environment and more entertaining experience .

Who would fight that with common sense and speak on behalf of the community at the same time .

If it's not all that , it shouldn't break the game in any way .. so why act against it ..??.., to bust balls or try to act as a game breaker ..??.., there are more then enough of those types that work threw their campaigns to try to nerf items and once changes that occur that would actually help to improve the environment , they fight those tooth and nail .

I just don't see the big deal if it's not effecting the community in a negative way but we always have all the fuss over this topic every time it's brought up ( Before people use to use that excuse , choices matter but check the forums to see how many talk about the changes and how it effects them ) , like it would help some to become OP or something or destroy the environment in any way .

It wasn't a problem for those who reaped in the early stages and the changes of the game that's happening now , is a reflection of it's remaining life span and what type of impact that it will have once it's transplanted , what's wrong with those who are not able to follow , having a enjoyable experience in their last moments ?

Why is this concept fought now of all times ???

Why must people reason to enjoy their playing experience , when it doesn't and wont have a negative effect on the community as a whole and might just increase the numbers of players who play and also the time that they play as well .

How is that negative ???

Edit : I just don't see what a console has to do with anything , what's wrong with you PC players .. are you racist against a game platform ?

It's always #PCMASTERRACE with you people .

Is it really that serious ? #MOREIMPORTANTTHINGSINLIFE .

[C]onsole FPS players can't handle how DUST handles SP...

Secondly, it does have a negative effect on the community. One of the selling points of DUST514 and of New Eden is the persistence. Yes, I understand that the game hasn't lived up to expectations, promises weren't fulfilled and that the game seems unpolished and underdeveloped but that doesn't mean we should throw it all to the wind and just go all out in every direction. We still have to stay-somewhat-in the vision and abide by the rules set by the universe.
