Genral69 death T.H.I.R.D R.O.C.K The T.H.I.R.D Empire 820	Posted - 2015.10.20 21:57:00 - [1] - Quote So the new event gives all players the chance to get a skill tree reset and a Amman light skin. As a player nearing 100mil sp I'm in no need for a skill tree reset as I have pretty much all I need. Yes I am speced into the amarr lift frame and scout but as it's skill is nothing outstanding rarly see it on the battle field. All this event will achieve is property getting.g respects and people running around in a very underpowered suit https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=213777&find=unread
Ripley Riley Incorruptibles 12	Posted - 2015.10.20 21:59:00 - [2] - Quote The respec token might be nice if CCP ever makes a drastic change down the road. I agree it is not as valuable for veterans, but it's nice to have. The SKIN is only cool because normally to get a SKIN CCP would gouge you for $10... "I get to fist tanks in butt" - Jadek Menaheim
zDemoncake Horizons' Edge 1	Posted - 2015.10.20 22:02:00 - [3] - Quote 85mil SP player here. I could care less about the SP reset. I'll us it however to bump some of my skills points out of some suits I never use and put it into weaponry, alongside ADS specific skills.

Jalame La Bola Shining Flame Amarr Empire 122	Posted - 2015.10.20 22:02:00 - [4] - Quote The new event is pointless for people that actually work for a living and have a wife and baby to take care of. Mamenme El Bicho. Mami's a hurricane, you should see the way she blow me. Hecho en Puerto Pobre.
Sicerly Yaw Corrosive Synergy RUST415 1	Posted - 2015.10.20 22:03:00 - [5] - Quote its a free reset and a free skin yet you still find a way to complain about it? if you don't want it don't keep it, you can give it away or sell it (the skin) as for the rest even at 100 mill you should still not have everything maxed out and you can always skill out of something you dont use to something that you do especially if you hold on to it and something new comes out that takes a bit of sp to get into Reserved
Shamarskii Simon The Hundred Acre Hood 454	Posted - 2015.10.20 22:06:00 - [6] - Quote Umm... Before the reset i have one question. Say you got a skill maxed before the multiplier went up (e.g HAV skill) Do you get back the skill points invested...? Or do you lose skill points? Forever ADS. Best role.

GM Archduke Game Masters C C P Alliance 2	Posted - 2015.10.20 22:08:00 - [7] - Quote You would not believe how often players request a Skill Respec. There were hundreds of forum posts and tickets regarding this. We know for a fact that this is something the majority of the DUST 514 player base wants, and has been asking for ever since the first respec ever happened. Naturally there will be players who don't need this, sure. You can keep it as a souvenir or you can chose not to participate... Also, it's quite clear that no matter what event or update we do, there will be players who disagree, or complain. Anyhoo, this is for the greater good.

Thanks for commenting. I'm of the volition that next time we do any event we should just not give rewards. Yanno like, "Get 100 Kills and get NOTHING!" that might put some things in perspective for the people who want to do nothing but complain. Negative Introspection - Aeon's CPM Blog Skype: nomistrav

Have you gone to the weekly leaderboards to see how many kills you have for the current week? Doing that will help put into perspective how easy or difficult completing this event will be for you.

TBH though, you should reset certain skills automatically when you completely change bonuses etc. Eg.

As for my time, when I first started playing this game after looking at the 'skill tree' I immediately knew SP management was very important and so I managed my SP very well. I do value my time and that is why I made sure not to screw up my SP investment.

Which would be the main reason people ask for respecs or buy respecs. I'll go back to the Minmando issue, only reason I skilled Minmando was for the bonus to swarms - now after foxfour that bonus has gone to the Calmando? I have neither the time or the inclination to grind 514 kills (I've played approx 6 matches since beginning of September) and I certainly wouldn't pay for a respec - how long will it take me using passive SP to skill up Calmando lvl 5? And whose to say that after I do that the bonus doesn't get moved to another suit? Archduke made the comment that they get a lot of tickets requesting respecs - they would get less requests if they behaved reasonably in these situations and refunded skill trees when they made fundamental changes to suit bonuses etc.

You have only averaged playing one match a week for the past month-and-a-half? Don't expect to accomplish much in this game if you are going to play it so infrequently. If you want Calmando Level 5 using nothing but Passive SP it will take you a long time and it should take you a long time. You don't easily skill up to the best of something particular in this game by not making a committed effort. I'm not sure what all to say without risking coming off as a complete *******. Play the game more and learn to use more than just Swarm Launchers.
