Dear players,

Skill point progression: Based on your feedback we will be doing further adjustments to skill point requirements......

Our plan is to address this by tweaking skill point requirements GÇô and in that process reimburse you with the skill points that youGÇÖve spent back to your unused skill pool. Additionally, we are planning an optional skill point respec of skill points to players via petitioning our game masters after this change occurs, in case some of you may not be completely satisfied with your original choices. We also believe that this will solve some dropsuit requirements that were changed in Uprising, giving you easier access to those items again. Details about changes to the skill point progress will be forthcoming when available, and weGÇÖll provide an updated spreadsheet in advance of that (the previous one provided) here.

As we bring Beta to a close on 5/14, we have all hands on deck to keep pushing updates and responding to your feedback. We sincerely thank you very much!

Reading this posting it can be read in different ways.

Does it mean the SP reimbursed is only the pasts they are going to tweak, or are they going to do a full reimburse with optional petition later for players who have made some catastrophic error.

Personally, as we know they simply just got it wrong surely it would be easier if they just gave it all back to all players given the amount of people who've argued over new system since it inception.

As for the respec, I believe it's a one-time only thing that you can submit a petition about. I'm sure we'll have further details exactly what it is before the 14th. o/ Eterne... Hope things have been well for you. I'm curious, is there any mention of terrain and object stickiness? I can't tell you how many times I've died due to an inability to "move" while being shot at, or trying to retreat. also can we get some sort of solid statement on the SP respec?, I want a complete one, but I don't want book or item refunds, just the ability to reallocate my SP. ty in advance Sir.

Going beyond level 3 is unnecessary so why have levels 4 and 5? Seems like a relatively unneeded skill to me. It's intended to be a skill point sink, to slow down progression in order to balance things somewhat for the old verses new players and to keep people from peaking too fast.

Exaggerated much? None at all actually Just ask most heavies who aren't in proto suits yet... and yes what you say is very likely

H.D Right, often things are worded so as to be extremely broad and can later be "explained better" to cover whatever actually gets done.. I don't blame Eterne for this as my past experiences with him leads me to believe that he's a straightforward and honest guy, but I have found several times that the "announcements" from CCP are not always what they would appear to be at first read. as to the suit colors, does anyone remember the paint bucket conversations at fanfest? bright yellow logi suits shouldn't be a problem after that is released... o/ Bill
