I personally would like a release date reset, not a refund but a reset. As in everyone would start back at zero or 50,000 or what ever we started with. I have a feeling there are a lot more skills to come out side of racial dropsuit skills. Probable just me though.

Why on earth would you want a complete reset? All that time spent on gaining SP would have all been for naught. Is it because there are certain players that are too ahead of you?

Not at all, there are players ahead of me now there will be players ahead of me then. I more like the idea of us all going into the real universe together.I have a feeling there will be way more skills then we have now. Plus it has been what 2 months since the last reset, are you really losing that much? Where in my statement did I say anything about anyone else being to far ahead. I more feel if it is a full release we should all be there together. Do you feel you are to far ahead of everyone and want to keep that advantage over people?

I only got into this game about a month ago. I only have 2.1 million right now. That's really far behind everyone else but I put some time to get there. I do not want to see my time go wasted. so yes, i'm losing a lot. Plus, I would need to get refunded on all the aurum I spent on boosters.

EDIT: And yes, I like my advantage. Its not much of an advantage but it DEFINITELY is a lot better than what I had to work with a month ago. And considering everyone else is a bit ahead, it gives me some decent practice.

Nevermond you have only been in for a few months. We have had resets and they did not kill anyone. Personally I think it's kinda fun. I would think that especially new players would like this. I remember at our first reset it was kind of nice to know exactly where to go what to do and how to do it.

When I first started there was no logi, so I had assualt suit stuff leveled. Which would have been a waste to have my SP there. Also I did not understand there were even different suits and stuff so I thought heavy would just make my suit higher armor. More wasted skill points. I was just saying it's kinda fun to go into a new world together.

Just a note, we've said we won't reset skill points to 0 (without a HUGE GIANT CURRENTLY-UNFATHOMABLE reason). There might still conceivably be a time where we reset skill point allocation.

Edit: Edited to add in caveat.

...and nova knives(this is the one skill where SP is truly wasted)...

What about the other suit and skill types? Like pilots or command suit types and skills. If this is as I've heard, only a third of the total skills we will have upon release then there might be places you want to spend those skills. But it would be difficult to get those skill points back , and apparently people don't like that anymore. Everyone wants, game+

it would be ok
but if they do that it would also help if they added a isk reset
so people can't just

proto suit
proto guns

100K isk later
WIN ALL GAME BUTTON NO NEW PLAYERS WILL ENJOY

Racial drop suit SP might be refunded when they release the reworked suits. Each race will have it's own version of scout, assault, logi, and heavy. As for all SP, fiction, as previously stated.

I would really love a reset when the game launches, but its just me. Just to give newcomers a chance, since there is no tiered progression.

Won't happen though.

Generic post from CCP Dev that this won't be happening with cryptic caveat that if they really wanted to - they would.

We've only said we won't reset your SP to 0. We haven't said anything about not refunding your SP and allowing you to respec. That option is still on the table prior to release if we feel it will be worthwhile.

Ehhhhh..... Not sure how I feel about this one... On one hand it's nice to respec what with it still being beta and all but on the other hand it's sort of cheat codes..

It's not cheat codes; it's an MMO skilled progressive game.

Right - one that you're not supposed to be able to respec on the fly. Under normal circumstances you wouldn't be able to do this and the only real justification for it is going from Open Beta to Release, beyond that there's no real reason for it.. I'm uncomfortable with it but it's nothing I'm going to throw up a red flag over.

While we do understand your stance on this matter, I'm afraid that no action can be taken as this mechanic was operating as intended. However, please keep in mind that all AUR purchases made during the Beta stage of DUST 514 shall be returned at the Commercial Release of the game (once the beta is over and DUST 514 launches officially).

Our apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused you.

Best regards,

let them reset! I will win my battles regardless, personally by the time beta ends who knows all the different skills and ways to play we will have. Why not let people change it up at beta end? because it hurts your carefully planned glass house?

Hey guys,

In response to the OP:

http://dust514.com/news/2013/04/official-dust-514-podcast-debuts/

I highly recommend listening to that podcast. Due to the large and extensive changes to skills for DUST in Uprising the decision was made to refund all SP. Give that podcast a listen though, good stuff!

To be clear this is not a reset, it is a refund.

Reset would mean just setting you back to as if you just started your character.
Refund is giving you back the skills you spent so you can spend them again.

:)

Uprising is going to be AWESOME! :D

isk refund for skillbooks?

I have 10 mill SP! I could care less if they refund it!
What I do care about is ALL the AUR items I have lost due to in game BETA glitches! I will keep asking this question until I get an answer from CCP!
Will there be an AUR refund at official release as the original terms stated? Here is a copy of those terms!

CCP is REFUSING to answer the question! I have sent several emails with NO RESPONSE!
