Mal-informing descriptions, skills not applying correctly, bait-and-switch tactics, incorrect pre-reqs, large turret angle of depression/elevation screwed up, etc.
The list just goes on and on.
Yes, I know people have made similar threads but here's my in-depth reasoning why we should receive a skill respec on the 14th.
Mal-Informing Descriptions
Your vehicle engineering skill claims that you should get 5% more PG to your vehicle per level. Wrong! Apparently CCP intended -5% CPU need to powergrid upgrade modules per level. I'd have never blown my SP onto this skill if it was this! I have PG issues, not CPU issues!
The vehicle shield extension skill says "3% reduction to shield extension modules per level." Great, so the more I level this up, the less effective my shield extenders are? (Sarcasm). I'd assume it's a reduction to CPU need but still, how did CCP mess this up?
Skills Not Applying Correctly
We all thought vehicle engineering was not being applied correctly, but we still spent SP in the hopes that a patch was going to fix that soon. Nope! It was never intended to do that in the first place.
I've heard the vehicle electronics skill not increasing CPU properly but for some reason I haven't had issues with it. Yet.
Bait-and-Switch Tactics
Uhm, aren't these illegal? Perhaps in Iceland they aren't. I think I should start a business in Iceland, make people pay for and sign cheap yearly contracts, then jack up the price and screw them all! But it's clear to vehicle users that the vehicle engineering skill initially claimed to increase PG output, but now CCP have changed their claim to say that it grants a CPU need reduction instead. I could really use all those SP that I spent into it onto something better.
Incorrect Pre-Reqs
Vehicle shield extenders and damage controls are requiring infantry skills. I intentionally spent SP on these infantry skills for the primary purpose of not having my Gunnlogi sit under 3000 shields such that it can be soloed by a single AV grenadier. Seriously, I killed a Sica with all three of my hacked advanced AV grenades in a few seconds once. Once again, I could use these SP somewhere else instead when CCP patches these pre-reqs.
Angle of Depression/Elevation
CCP already has stated that they will look into this (probably in the next 6 months). Until they fix this, I'm forced to find a bump or a hill and use it so I can hit anything that's beyond 30 degrees above the horizon.
Please CCP, give us a SP respec on the 14th! I've spent a lot of SP in the hopes that you'll fix all of these issues correctly, but instead you're nerfing vehicles (and HAVs especially) AGAIN! I could possibly make a Falchion tank more than a Gunnlogi because of that third low slot so I can increase PG more.
Example: I can barely fit level 3 heavy shield booster, a heavy azeotropic shield extender, and an advanced missile turret on my Gunnlogi with two powergrid expansion units. Falchion has the same fitting except one more low, so adding a power diagnostic system in that extra low will help bring up shields to match those of the Gunnlogi. Hell, I might even be able to have two power diagnostic systems and one powergrid expansion unit, then it will possibly have more shield than the Gunnlogi. Where's CCP's intention to make the enforcers glass cannons when I see a way to give them more shields than a Gunnlogi?
Edit: to save myself from people telling me that I didn't spend my SP smartly, you're wrong. I first went with militia Sicas and spent minimum SP to unlock modules/missiles that I wanted to test out. I saw the issues here but I spent SPs anyways hoping CCP would fix them before the 14th. Man was I wrong. |

Yes, or something similar to EVE where players get to redistribute their skill attributes once a year. In DUST the same thing should be available where you get one respec per year or something similar. |
