DUST Search - Apparently no wipe for the next build.

Quote:

Eve is all about action and consequences of said actions. As oposed to games like WOW, where there is limit of what i can learn, there is no situation when i hit imaginery wall and can not train further

In EVE when i no longer need some skills (want to check something new) i just start training them. I remap and +5 needed skills and start trainig for new stuff.

This will actually hit new players very hard - imagine that we have 100m SP bitter-vet and 5m SP no-longer-noob fresh player. Imagine now that CCP introduced new type of ships - something in range of new player that don't require tons of skills to fly.

What new payer can do? well, he have no skills to abandon just like that, so he have to train for it. What about bitter-vet? Well, he just drop his Titan 5 and gets all needed skill to lvl 5 in minutes.

This in turn will cause even larger gap between veterans and new players. Right now when something new is introduced (PI for example) all payers are on equal footing - everyone have to train to use new stuff. OFC veterans have more isk = can use +5, possible have remaps for such occasion stored, so they can get there slightly faster - but they still have to train to it.

We don't have a any attributes though, attributes in EvE affect the rate of sp gain in different categories. The attribute complication is not needed in dust. Specing into some things will take longer then a month, so a monthly respec would make people think less and encourage fads in skills. It was said a few months ago they wanted to be able to do builds without wipes, then they would only wipe if it was necessarily. Moving to new server, game launch, and maybe open beta will have wipes still, or if something goes very wrong they have to reset with wipe. A repec in a game with level cap, like borderlands or guildwars, is good. In a no cap game like dust or eve it can be harmful. Here is quote that explains issue that makes repecs hurt new players in game without level cap from eve forum.

There are a lot of other arguments against respecs in a capless game, most games have caps so that is what most are used to. So I agree a respec may draw players, but it will also push them out after they see what it does without level cap.
