oh wait...

Guys, just don't bother.

There are approximately 3-5 people who have expressed a desire for the ability to respect their characters instantly and repeatedly for essentially two reasons.

First, they feel that the game shouldn't take years to build a max character and that careful spending of SP shouldn't really mean anything in the long run. It should only be accrued, and them applied wherever you want it, whenever you want it. In other words, they want skills, but no meaningful progress. They don't want to be stuck in a specialized build, but also want to specialize. They want to have their cake, and eat it too.

Second, they think if people want to pay for it, they should be able to do anything they want.



Then there are at least two dozen people who have made a number of reasoned arguments against such an ability. The numbers are very clear. The problem is, this thread is like arguing with a bird or a fish. Logic, reason, history, nor conscious thought have any power here. There is no way any of the respec proponents are going to suddenly say "Oh, no. That makes sense. It would break the game, break the universe, and go entirely against the wishes of the developers. Yeah, I guess respecs would be bad."



And, ultimately, it doesn't matter. Because CCP would never do respecs like anyone here has mentioned, for all of the reasons that have been mentioned.

Peace. o/

Yes, wait.

PDIGGY, I take it since CCP isn't catering to you and making MAG 2, it sucks - I also take it that you have 0 understanding of the development process. The game is still in development, they can release as many buggy, ****** up closed beta builds as they want - what matters about a game surviving is it's condition at launch.

But since you never have anything constructive to say, just "this sucks" and "you need to add this MAG feature to keep your game from sucking" I am wondering why you are even here, and why you bother to log into the beta at all


Dust is NOT MAG 2, it's not going to be MAG 2, come to grips with that or GTFO and go play MAG 2........

Ironically you clowns want ccp to make another EVE. Sad you can't let Dust have its own identity within the EVE lore guess EVE FPS is all you really want. Which is funny to hear you call out PIGGY for wanting the game to be more like MAG.

No! Never ever add respecing. it would be terrible and go against the whole concept of spending time to train something. If you do not like how you spend your SP then tough luck and start spending them on something else.

This idea is bad. it is just plain bad.

So when people change their minds about the path they have taken and don't want to start over they should just give up and move on to a new game then.

Scrap Dust and port EVE over to PS3

Worked for minecraft on Xbox but then again minecraft is more action packed.

This is pointless, you guys are just going to keep saying silly **** like this endlessly. You never START OVER, you just keep earning skills, MOST of which will be effective in many varying types of builds. mechanics skill, weapons, shields, armor, electronics, biotec, turrets, dropsuits, grenades, logistic skills, etc, etc. If you decide you want to start using a Forge Gun, you will still want to have your armor or your shields, your reduced CPUs, your turret skills, maybe your LAV skills, etc. You just have to level up your forge gun. I mean, this system is already WAAAY more lenient than just about any other MMO I've seen in regards to being able to pick and choose your skills as you go rather than being forced into a single CLASS skill tree, what more do you want? If you're an endgame Healer in WoW you don't just get to click a button and completely make a new character that start at 80 and has all endgame gear, you have to make an alt and start COMPLETELY OVER. In Dust, you just go ahead and learn the skills you want whenever you want, while keeping all of your old bonuses. This isn't an esports 10 maps, everyone uses 1 of 3 guns, you're effectively leveled in a week FPS, it's a long term grind MMO with FPS mechanics in place of point and cllick. What is so hard to understand about that?

Seriously, if after a dozen pages of clear, concise, well explained rebuttals showing exactly why respecs would go against the very basic foundation of how this game is set up haven't convinced you, you should likely just play something else... MMOs clearly aren't your thing.

You are preaching to a troll, dude. People like him will not listen. It's in their nature.

So when people change their minds about the path they have taken and don't want to start over they should just give up and move on to a new game then.

*facepalm* Is the OP actually doubting that the game will be on PS4?

Wow we are dealing with a person who doesnt even research the game he is playing.

The title of the article was "DUST 514 will be a future-proof PS4 game"...

Kinda hard to miss.

Also, at fanfest at one of the roundtables, the executive producer of DUST, Brandon Laurino, talked about the tech that they had to spend a lot of time developing in order to be able to grow the game for 10 years after launch.

That means the ability to port the game to new platform, upgrades to better engines, etc.

CCP has done these things before with Eve, they have the technology and the processes to do it.
