So. who else f:ed up on respecing?
Hahahhaha, what kind of game do you think this is?
Choices have consequences. That-¦s why you-¦re ranting because of faield mega investments, and i still have 6m SP to invest after putting a bunch of lvl 2-3 to try things out.

I expect respeccing to be available as an AUR purchase at some time in the future - or at least CCP will float the idea with the community. But that will take weeks, or more likely, months. In the meantime, I'm afraid you'll have to learn to fly the new dropships, petition and plead for improvements, or start spending new SP on some other role :(
If they ever do something like this, they-¦ll lose respect from a NICHE playerbase that sustained them so far.
Choices have consequences, is people kittened up their spending, why should people that are investing little by little be penalized?
"Ok ok, pause pause. Let-¦s go back a little bit cause i screwed up."
I don-¦t know what kind of games you-¦ve been playing, but that-¦s not how New Eden rolls |

Natu please calm your fanfemism down, if there had been a militia version of the ADS, there wouldn't have been an issue from me, but the fact that you have to spend a huge amount of SP just to TRY something out and not have an option to opt out it if it wasn't to ones liking doesn't seem right, especially since we are going out of beta 5/14 you'd think we would have the ability to try before buy. Oh well, whats done is done i guess. Will probably just have to HTFU and try to spend 4-5 months farming sp for something else..... You know what? Fck that
It-¦s not fanfemism.
The core principle of the universe is the importance of consequences, and therefore, choices.
People from the beta won the lottery. The got a huge ammount of SP to spend, and spent it unwisely, besides all forum warning telling to go easy.
Do you need your weapon being prototype to get the feeling of it? No.
Can you spend very few SP to try out weapons? Yes. Less than a week cap. Not 4-5 months.
Respec means the positive reinforcement of bad choices. "Oh, i don-¦t like the ones i made, let me go back in time and do them again"
That-¦s the whole point of the game.
Imagine the Telltale game "The Walking Dead" with unlimited time to choose for an answer.
Sonic without the frantic music when the air is running out.
X-com without the death of your highly trained Colonel
The experience with/of the game is as much, or more important than the mechanics. Mechanics you can tweak, fix and do something here and there. Experience is what makes the difference between a "Meh" game and onde that is remembered for decades.

This point would have been valid had i been able to try it before investing millions of sp thereby "specializing" in something that I quite frankly wish i hadn't.
Investing millions of sp
Millions of sp
Millions
of
sp
Does this ring ANY bells on what you may have done wrong ?

Hmm, why dont your try to spend very "few" sp to "test" ADS and maybe you'll see were im coming from.
Yes, i-¦m aware that vehicles demand a lot of SP, specialized ones even more.
Yes, i-¦m aware that is frustrating to use a vehicle that needs further work.
What i don-¦t understand is:
1 - Why not other people do the trial and error?
2 - If we know we have a shitload of bugs on expansion day 1-2 weeks, why complain so much?
3 - If we know things will be fixed and tweaked, why complain so much?
4 - If my specialization is ADS, then i-¦ll stick with it until it gets better. I-¦ll provide feedback on what needs improvement, and i-¦ll play it because i want to play it.
You talk like things are set in stone.
And cmon, if you know it-¦s a high SP demand, you know it-¦s a risk that it will be tweaked some day, for better or worse.
The bigger issue is the avarage player that had 3-4m SP, could spend 1m of it getting basic shield/armor and lvl 1 in light and sidearm weapons, and is complaining that their lives are RUINED by the changes.
Don-¦t specialize unless you know what you-¦re getting into.
Is that so unreasonable?
