Look you are all big kids now and CCP shouldn't have to hold your hand to make sure you spend your SP wisely. Seriously, no one deserves a respec because it was on YOU to read the prerequisites and the descriptions before spending your SP. Spending your SP with careless abandon assuming the skills did the same as their counterparts in Chromosome was your own stupid mistake.

I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh, but seriously all you had to do was read and a lot of you who "effed up your SP" would be fine because you would have made wiser choices. For example, I'm doing just fine and have my character going in the direction I want because I read every single description before I dropped SP into it...I even have some SP dropped in Flaylock and Scrambler Rifle in preparation for the 14th.

If you're new to EVE/DUST I'm a tad more forgiving, but still, you should have read the descriptions. Now if you're an EVE/DUST veteran, I have ZERO remorse for you because you know how this works. You got over the learning CLIFF of EVE just to make a silly mistake as a respec eff up - you should be embarrassed and deservedly so.

Finally, think about it this way...why should you be allowed a respec even if you did screw up? It would be unfair to all the others who didn't screw up and are doing just fine. You really want CCP to kick all the players who made informed decisions regarding their SP in the teeth just because you and a few other sorry souls screwed up?

Mull it over.

Id like a respec because i speced into hmg and its worthless now. I checked the stats but range is still not listed on weapons. My proto hmg is less effective than a militia AR. But ya im a big kid now so i guess i should have just known somehow that these unlisted stats had changed. I mean it was probably mentioned on the 20th page of the comments on a dev blog right, who could miss that?

To be fair, it sucks spending 7 million skill points to do the hardest job in the game and get rewarded by FAR the least, with no stats to show for, along with an incredibly expensive fit ship just to try and survive a match.

As a dedicated dropship pilot who will suffer CCPs negligent wrath for as long as I must, I can tell you that new players CAN NOT support the dropship playstyle without Corporation replacement programs

Read: New pilots CANNOT exist solo without an absurd amount of foot pounding at 0 infantry skills for months and months.

Currently, the pilot role will be reserved for vets who can work around all the set backs of piloting, or people who want to hate Dust.

No mention in the patch notes of the 6 fold increase in sp requirements for cpu n pg skills ...

No mention in the patch notes of the 2 fold increase required for the logistics dropsuit class ...

It was however mentioned before release that your current level of spec shouldn't be affected too much after the changes !

I was bored with Eve anyway until DUST started making it interesting again ... anyone want to buy 2x 50+ mil sp Eve characters ?

Oh look! a useless Newberry post/thread.

Remember that big sign and Dev blog saying Assault Dropships were useless?
Me neither.

Of course we pilots don't fly to make it to the top of leader board, we fly because we love it. Otherwise CCP would have long ago driven us from the skies with multiple nerfs and constant WP neglect. We are in it for the long haul, ever optimistic that some day, just over the that hill, the next build will let us fly for a living instead of a hobby. I've been waiting nearly a year.

Why hello there Mr. Elitist...I've actually been here since the closed beta but only recently started posting in the forums.

Don't assume things you aren't 100% about because in the end you just wind up looking like a douche.

The higher flight ceiling isn't broken. It's a means of escape and a way to hunt mountain snipers. All real world pilots use altitude to disengage and DUST is no different. It was the artificial hard ceiling that was broken.

It would only be broken if we could hit someone on the ground and they could not hit us (sort of like how high altitude bombers work). We still need to fly low to perform our mission so it's no different than a tank hiding behind a mountain or infantry hiding behind a wall. Neither can kill while they are hiding.

Adapt or Die

I'm finding that several people are claiming this game is hardcore, but, come nut cutting time, the folks with the cool toys are constantly running and hiding.

The pilot are one thing as you said, they should use altitude to disengage, but tanks? Where in the real world do tanks run and hide from each other, much less infantry?

- Where in the real world? I understand it is not the real world, but at the same time, if it were the real world, it would be more understandable to run and hide constantly......... If you weren't sworn to carry out orders and protect one-another.

Another arrow that points out selfish exploiters patting their kdr. SAME exploiters that claim the game is so hardore, etc. that are running and hiding.....in tanks.

well theres 2min of my life im not gonna get back
