To those who state that there should be no more resets, what are your reasons for that position?

Be well.

I made a post about an SP reset yesterday. Th point of that post was to express a hypothetical so older players could step back and see the game in its current state as it is rather then what they hope it will be.

But yeah I have 3 million SP and i think the whole SP/leveling system should be thrown in the garbage can. Not reset, trashed.

I want the SP/level system removed from the game so i can have fun playing the game NOW. This is an FPS i want all my FPS toys to play with now not in some distant future. I also want to beat or be beat by players who are on par with me...not be face stomped by horrible FPS EvE players who spent the last 6 months AFKing in the MCC.

A thousand times this, the skill system in use is a terrible fit for the genre of game this is

People went into skills that did not do what they were suppose to, so obviously they deserve a respec. The only way you could have known anything about it would be to learn from those poor unfortunate souls who did spec into the skill. The research argument is horseshit.

If respec is allowed now, will the path lead to more and more catering to mediocrity? EVE does not cater to mediocrity. It's a very unforgiving game and just that purity of design makes it stable and interesting. Dust needs to step up the standards and harden the f up so that it can one day become a part of the intriguing sandbox. This. Some of the Dusties see the skillsystem as grinding to get to the uber gear. Even modern RPGs take all decisionmaking out of the leveling process and devolve into a straight upward "lvl=power" progression(cough D3 cough). No wonder people are depressed when they realize they made the wrong decision when they don't feel that it's part of the process. Does not mean broken skills are your own fault min you.

KalOfTheRathi Talon Strike Force LTD Orion Empire 425	Posted - 2013.05.09 23:11:00 - [37] - Quote I have two views on this and they are opposed to each other. CCP has their normal answer, 'decisions have consequences' which I normally agree with. And in fact did in this case as well. CCP has so totally screwed over so many players, beta testers, berries new and old that I believe a respec is the absolute least they could do. Not only is the Skill Tree bad is it so bad that I would be hard pressed to recommend the game. If someone wants to play my answer now is: download the game, make a character, start passive SP and leave it alone for two months. After that then start playing three days a week to hit SP Cap as they decide how to spend the SP that they have been saving. If they want more than they need AUR so a Merc Pack will help move them along further but the two months wait is still the best solution. Hardly sounds like a ringing endorsement does it? Because it isn't.

CCP could have prevented this by simply triple checking before going live, I know they are rushed or busy. Now if they allow a respec for this skill description error, they had better not make the same mistake and go live with an error in a year, because then I am sure there would be an uprising....so cheesy.

This is the danger of allowing respecs, people will think its for the wrong reasons and I can already see the "why no respec for new vehicles, you did it before, unfair!!!" threads that will roll in. Yes, but something like the commander or pilot suit getting added is different than us getting the missing scout and heavy suits. Those two, along with assaults and logis, are the 4 main roles, and I don't understand why CCP would ever release the game without them. (although it seems logis are now considered a secondary role ) It's simply unfair that scouts and especially heavies have no alternatives while assaults and logis have all 4 suits to choose from. This isn't just new content, it's content that should have been here by the time of release. The fact that it's not is a failure on CCP's part, and the players should not be punished because of it. So yes, we need a respec, but only once the rest of the content is here.

Kindly take your suggestions promoting your own personal flavour of vanilla elsewhere. A game like call of duty or battlefield might suit your play style a little better.

My question is why only one, why not two or three or five? Game got a lot deeper when they crushed the value of skill points. If they dont make any drastic changes to the weapons then going tactical assault rifle is kind of a no brainer. Be really funny if everybody respecs into assault rifle and then ccp gives it a big nerf. lol. Wouldnt surprise me, so I'd probably spec the same thiing I have now.
Iam Krogan Tuchanka Wrecking Crew 7	Posted - 2013.05.10 00:12:00 - [42] - Quote If respecs become a habit, why not have a respec every week then? Every day? Just allow people to undo skills whenever they want and get the SP back? Maybe remove the whole skill system while you're at it? And to make it even more fair, remove ISK too and let people just pick the gear they want. Yay, we have created Yet Another First-Person Shooter.

That one respec might be warranted. Not two five or whatever. The absolute value of Skillpoints has not changed. More SP meant an advantage in chromosome and still does. It's constant respecs that lower the value of SP since Specilization will have no consequences anymore. Not speccing into FOTM is the right call. Investing in an OP weapon in full knowledge of the imbalance makes you fully responsible if you end up with something you don't like, once it's back in line of the other roles.

I'd have to politely disagree with you on this one. If you want to play an FPS game where everything is available to you either instantly or in a short space of time (cause even CoD has weapon unlocks at level ups), then go play a different FPS. As you have stated quite clearly, this game isn't for a traditional FPS player and in case you haven't noticed, it's perfectly intended to be this way. Take a look through FanFest 2012 videos regarding DUST 514 and you'll hear something interesting. It goes somewhat like this (I can't remember the words verbatim) "We wanted to show EvE players an aspect of the universe that's always been there ... just not nearly as detailed as we'd like it." In this they were referring to the surfaces of the thousands of planets in New Eden. And hey, after some meetings, discussions, ideas bounced around and whatever else they did. They ended up with the insane idea to make a MMOFPS game on the PS3, and they did it. Oh ... and in case you haven't noticed. CCP has heard about the AFK, MCC squatting scumbags and intends to do something about it. Look here at the Weekly Updates, there's a mention that the topic has in fact been seen and discussed. And hell, if you feel that the progress isn't enough on that front, take it up with one of our CPM members. I'm sure they'd be glad to push for a solution to that problem (if they haven't done so already)

The OP would be disappointed in such name calling! ED: And on topic - I believe this game should get a standardized respec. We got our free one already. Players should have the option to pay something prohibitive, like say 50,000 AUR, to respec again and again should they want it bad enough. EVE gives you one free attribute respec a year, as I recall, and you can pay for more after that. You can re allocate attributes that influence skill training but you cannot reallocate SP.
