Okay so CCP stated around a year ago that they will NOT BE DOING ANY MORE REPSECS.
People whined and they were rightfully ignored. People continued to whine, and they were ignored. Legion is announced and CCP decided to get every cash grab they can from DUST. With the return of the BPOs which they also said would not be coming back (though that was SLIGHTLY justified).
Now, I literally don't know what to believe if CCP makes any more statements about their games because they are showing that they will actively just change everything they said so fast.
This respec now means that whatever is considered the best will be played in almost EVERY game you play in DUST. Imagine this, situation:
This feature was available last patch. How many scouts would you see with the max possible stats? There would be WAY more and they would be stronger.
No more reasons to commit to your choices because now you can just change your mind if you fork over -ú-ú-ú.
Thay guy that specced in Plasma rifle that loved his weapon? Now corps will expect you to respec to the best just to be competitive.
CPP clearly stated there would be no more respecs and for good reason. People will soon see why this move is a terrible idea and how you will have no variation in DUST anymore with everyone respeccing to the flavour of the month.
I would have agreed with this if it was a ONE time purchase to allow people to fix mistakes.
My prediction:
Now that this feature is in place, CCP will continue to rebalance the flavour of the month to get as many people to buy respecs as possible.
I hope I am being over cynical about all of this but my suggestion is to change this feature to a ONE time purchase to at least keep the "choices have meaning" part of this game alive. |

Pretty sure CCP said that if there was going to be another respec they would announce it via the usual methods... Well they just did. Calm down chicken little.

Players who berated those crying for respecs are now crying because there will be respecs, but seem to think that it matters considering how people would still have ample opportunity to use different gear in the first place.
But that's none of my business.

If anything this only helps balance since it will make whatever is OP very visible. All CCP has to do is change a few numbers either nerfing things or buffing counters, which can happen a lot faster than in the past thanks to the new hotfix trend.
The ultimate goal is to make everything balanced so that everything is viable in one way or another. I think we're really close since I really can't think of anything that is either OP or is dominant in Pubs or PC.
That said, I'm not too happy about it. The increased SP was enough honestly.
Dust is there! I was real!

Somebody didn't read the scout nerf bit. After 1.9 DUST will be in its best state it ever has. The scout nerf makes running assault more viable and the only suits that need any sort of changes are the logistics and the commandos really. All the weapons are in a good place with some underperformers but best of all, none are really OP since the bolt pistol got a small nerf in the hotfix. |

My objections to respecs was that it took manual dev time to unscrew instead of developing content.
Oh look they automated the process.
Shut up, pay CCP your :tenbux: to reallocate your points and merrily bugger off.
Now I never have to listen to another puke whining about nerfs meaning they deserve respec.
Don't like the nerf? Pony up and shut up.

My view is this is a wonderful middle ground: Yes, you can get a respec. But it is going to require you open your wallet. It helps support the game, and the cost being AUR-based is likely to prevent people from abusing it heavily.

This is honestly a perfect way to respec.
You need to pay (support the game) and you are only refunded 80% of skill book cost, which will be a few million ISK if you are a high SP player. Bigger penalty ISK wise depending on how many SP and skills you have got.

If the complaint is that respecs support FOTM chasers, the solution is to diminish the severity of FOTM advantages. The complaint that respecs diminish the significance of our choices, has always been an empty argument, in the face of an actively maintained game with a frequently changing skill tree.
The occasional thread to remind CCP that their customers are aware of all this, is actually a pretty good use of a forum thread. Looks like those Previous threads weren't a waste of time. |

But that's none of my business.
I was always against respecs but CCP has made it's choice when it comes to Dust. I did start to see an AUR respec coming once (i think it was) Archduke was consistently coming into respec threads with the C&P response saying currently no plans but will be announced through the usual matters.
I don't see myself taking advantage of the respec based solely on my personal opinion and SP amount, but I can see this being beneficial to people in the 10-20 mil SP range.
Although with the proposed booster stacking and higher cap, I'm not certain it was necessary, but at least they can get some additional revenue out of it and keep Dust alive and potentially green light Legion.
Legion, which probably has been green lit without telling us (for oh so many good reasons) since we have seen it in a freaking movie. |

This is the best way for them to do a respec (as many others have already said) Notice in the description is says if you need to fix a few bad SP decisions The increase of weekly SP cap as well as doubling SP per WP will help curb any perceived abuse as well as the fact that it will cost you real money |

Although, I think it would be wise to hand out 1 free respec token or sell respec tokens at a discount (of course depending on what a respec actually costs) at the release of 1.9.
This could bring back vets. More vets in game = better game.

It does hurt the game though. It affects the people you have to play against all using the same suit that is best for the current patch. No variation at all. |

Also consider this; Dust is going to give way to Legion at some point (assuming its greenlit) And especially with the fact that Dust can in almost no discernible way affect Eve, respecs won't really hurt anything outside of Dust. Now once Legion comes out, I'm certain that there will be no respecs, but that's because Legion will have the potential to affect the Eve universe, and since it will be a fully developed game as opposed to what Dust is now, no respecs will make sense. As it stands, CCP can now give respecs easily, one of their chief complaints before; they can now more easily see what is FOTM (since everyone will be respeccing into it) and make adjustments, and it provides a really good source of income, seeing as half of GD is wanting respecs.
CCP made a good move.
Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.

Right now the kill feed is full of diversity. It makes DUST really interesting. You're going to see less of this after 1.9. DUST is nearly impossible to keep perfectly balanced. At the very least there should have been bigger penalties to respeccing: no ISK refunds for skill books, some loss of SP like 10-20%. It should be something done very rarely, with great forethought. At least I hope it's expensive (like $30-$50).
Best PvE idea ever!

Never bought AUR on this char, but I will be doing so for boosters. But that doesn't mean they are right, it means I feel I need to. I don't mind some pay purchases but I do at least feel the respecs should have a much higher penalty than a few mil isk. |

But that's none of my business.
Personally, I'm against respecs on the fly and whenever you want in this manner - I support a bi-yearly (every six months) respec. What I don't understand, however, is the logic behind being totally against respecs; all that looks like in my mind is a sense of retaliation for someone speccing into the FotM. Which, essentially, there's nothing wrong with speccing into the FotM because this -is- a competitive game and obviously players are going to align with what is most apt for that competitive edge.
It's not a logical or rational stand-point, it's an emotional one and this game isn't the type to have emotional reasonings in it's balance spectrum. Respecs are necessary to keep the game feeling fresh and not shackling a player down to a feeling that they have to live with a mistake. However, in my opinion, respecs being available on the fly shouldn't be necessary to liberate a player from -understanding- that they made a mistake. An investment like SP shouldn't be something you can just wash away whenever you please or be a 'get out of jail free' card whenever the meta changes.
Likewise, however, a player shouldn't feel as though they should have to respec because their investment became mechanically broken somehow.

It does hurt the game though. It affects the people you have to play against all using the same suit that is best for the current patch. No variation at all. This. Right now the kill feed is full of diversity. It makes DUST really interesting. You're going to see less of this after 1.9. DUST is nearly impossible to keep perfectly balanced. At the very least there should have been bigger penalties to respeccing: no ISK refunds for skill books, some loss of SP like 10-20%. It should be something done very rarely, with great forethought. At least I hope it's expensive (like $30-$50).
Yeah just like everyone is still using bolt pistol after the sidearm event was ov... oh wait they arent. Just like I predicted.
Im going to go ahead and predict something else now, everyone isnt going to spec flavor of the month after 1.9.
I have news for you, most people arent cunts, so they dont spec into something because its the absolute best thing in the game (as if anyone could even objectively figure out what that is). People spec into stuff because its COOL. People go vehicle and spec into tanks because they think driving a tank around is cool. People spec into Amar/scrambler because lasers are cool. People spec into scout because being a sneaky piece of **** is cool. People spec into Minmitar because duct tape is cool.
The only thing thats different is AV, people spec into AV because they hate themselves.

This about sums up my feelings on the matter. Just because a few of us (and by us, I mean everyone who is not me) are min/maxing sh*tlords doesn't mean the others in the world automatically are.

I specced into AV because I learned to hate tanks in chromosome.
I continue playing DUST because I hate myself. This is in fact the most likely reason for all of you as well.
EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

At least, you have to pay for them, which benefits everyone in one way or another.
The more money CCP makes, the longer Dust will stay alive, and the more resources they'll have to possibly keep it a dynamic project and fund the Legion you want and deserve. |
