No matter the Skills Respec, for i will petition this. And thanks for the opportunity.

But how about CCP's Promise on the refunding of Merc Packs after beta is gone. CCP and it's customers had an agreement and is CCP going to stick with it ? If So, yay.

If not I'd like to hear CCP's alternative for purchased Aurum Items, Like dropsuits which we might or might not be able to use, or due to the variety of skills not wanting to use.

This is my main concern which keeps me from the game. I hope CCP has an answer.

The biggest problem that you face is that DUST 514 is not FUN.

While I know there are problems with specific game functions (hit detection primarily), all of these problems pale in comparison to the fact that Dust 514 is just not fun. The core of the core game, shooting space people, just isn't fun, killing an enemy doesn't leave me satisfied, it just leaves me with a feeling of "wow, that sure was annoying". Taking points on the map isn't fun, it's just annoying. Wow I sure am glad I just fought that guy for 3 minutes hitting mostly air, just so one of his pals can spawn in and kill me with an invisible militia grenade. CCP this is the real danger you have with Dust 514, no matter how deeply integrated it is into EVE and how much winning and losing battles means to the EVE universe, no one will continue to play this game if one dude shooting another dude is not FUN.

Other than desperately needing to make DUST 514 FUN in terms of shooting a space merc in the face, another important core piece of an FPS that makes it FUN is the use of strategy. When there are tiered objectives within a match not only do you have to out-gun your opponent, but you also have to out-think your opponent, it is very satisfying to out strategize your opponent and use teamwork to accomplish objectives.

With the current POS game mode in DUST 514 all people do is run around in a big circle and chase each other like kids playing with water guns. There is no strategy involved, the points that are held are meaningless and hold absolutely no strategic value. It is FUN when you have to understand what your opponent is thinking and see what they are trying to accomplish and react to match conditions in real-time. None of these elements are present in "Skirmish POS", some did exist in Skirmish 1.0.

please let us know when it going to happen about Skills Respec , i want to be ready and not miss out on it, 24 hours window will be good for most of us because of the time zone around the world , please let us know when

many thanks

Just like the respec, there is an optional full character reset (Your SP and assets disappear as if you deleted and remade the character) and all your aurum/merc pack stuff will be refunded, as well as any other 'reward' stuff earned up until the time you got your reset.

If you want this reset, just send a mail to [email protected] and tell them your psn and character name, etc.

I didn't actually write this guys, I just posted it and get to soak up the likes.

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.

If the Weaponry skill is being refunded, then why not dropsuit command? there are 5 levels of it and there is no passive bonus either. Going beyond level 3 is unnecessary so why have levels 4 and 5? Seems like a relatively unneeded skill to me.

Weapons now fixed

an AR chewing through almost 1k hp on a heavy in under 2 secs or so from 67+ meters away is fixed?

So there is going to be another respec right?

where do u petition 4 this respec ? as i'd definitely be interested in one

Exaggerated much?

I'm not that good at the game, but I've played loads. That makes me think the matchmaking process as outlined here will pit me against people much better than me. I'm fine with that, but not sure that's what you want to achieve. I wouldn't mind that because *most* of my team will be as good as *most* of those on the other team, so no pub-stomping. It will be even enough. But why not take an average of WP versus matches played instead of straight WP? And / or factor SP into the equation too? There's a more accurate way of balancing this I think.

There's also what sounds like a good idea someone mentioned for matching up based on suit - e.g. proto matched with proto, standard matched with standard. Match on the combined meta level of the fit. Restrict choice when spawning to the level you were matched on. That might be fun too.

I'd also like to be able to choose whether the games I am put into have matchmaking applied - something like a setting that says "Apply matchmaking algorithms to lobby selection".

Some thoughts at least.

In the support section

None at all actually

Just ask most heavies who aren't in proto suits yet...

and yes what you say is very likely
