You have got to be freaking kidding me...
So the skill that I put all those points into so I can actually use a vehicle is actually lying to me and is meant to do something completely different?
Yes, please allow a respec. When skills explicitly state that they do X but instead do Y, that is the fault of the game makers when people 'make mistakes' and level that skill. That is seriously lame... |

That is seriously lame... I think it's worth mentioning the devs have said they know there's a problem with "the PG skill" on tanks, and are going to fix it, but they haven't given a straight answer on whether the skill is applying to the wrong thing, or the description is incorrect. If it's the former, we MIGHT be able to use the skill - but if we've over-skilled, that's still a huge amound of SP that's been wasted by pouring into something we only needed for the passives.
It isn't only that...
What does an Armor Tank use? Well, a plate, a repairer, and a turret of some kind obviously. When I looked at the Madruggar, i noticed the lower PG but noticed that I could still increase the PG (though it would be more expensive). A plate and a repairer is 2,000 PG and a turret is about another 1,000 (if it is a blaster). It is literally impossible to build the Tank that I was going to use, the Tank that I "knew" I could use because I ran the numbers.
Knowing now that the Skills were wrong and what I wanted to do is essentially impossible, I would like a respec. Out of no fault of our own, anyone that put points in Tanks expecting to get the listed benefits essentially wasted all of those points. It isn't even a case of "I want Proto NOW."  |

Sent an e-mail to support asking what they meant by fixing Vehicle Engineer (IE, it reads the wrong thing and is getting fixed OR if it doesn't do what it says it does, but is meant to). Nothing yet. I wonder if they know for certain yet.
Be well. |

Guys, this thread has played out. CCP agrees. There will be a reset when the skills are changed again. It *might* be within the month, it might take longer.
It is interesting to read this though. It went something like this:
Person A: "No respec because you should have to live with your mistakes."
Person B: "The game lied to us about what the skill actually does. It was a sort of bait-and-switch. A respec is needed to fix these issues, both for the integrity of the game and for the faith of the consumer."
Person A: "I understand that Vehicles have a problem but I still don't like respecs. This time it is necessary because of the problems."
All is well, until 5 minutes later:
Person C: "No respec because you should have to live with your mistakes."
Thus the problem with megathreads in that reading the whole thing is simply too time consuming.
Be well. |
