im sorry, but i have to disagree, i dont like anything that gets the playerbase used to the idea of a respec,its a bad in my opinion

You get out of the battle academy too fast for it to matter anyways.

Plus, if a new player doesn't know how to spend their SP in those first few days, what makes you think they'll do better afterwords? Without proper tutorials and new player training, it would be 100% useless.

I'm with Jenza on this, no more respecs

(even if it meant I was stuck in failships )

I like this idea . I would follow it with posibly an introduction video before they enter they accadamy explaining that this is the time to experament with wepons and suits as they wont get another chance to respec after graduating.

No, that is not a typo. That is a negative in front of the one.

New Eden, the very universe in which Dust 514 players are entering, is a very unforgiving place. It is so harsh that every mistake you make, whether it is informed or uninformed, is stuck with you until the day you delete your character or until the servers shutdown permanently (whichever comes first... usually the deleting part does).

New Eden is also home to some of the toughest players in the galaxy: Eve Online players who are otherwise known as Capsuleers. When a new Capsuleer is born, they are given only a miniscule amount of SP to start which is about 900,000 SP with only 50,000 ISK in their wallet alone with a single rookie ship fitted with a civilian turret and a civilian mining laser plus one unit of tritanium worth only about 5 ISK a piece depending on the current market. From there, the players are given a series of tutorials to help them decide what their future can be while still giving them the option to cross train into other skill sets. There are no respecs given for skill points. The only respec that player gets is for attributes which allows the player to decide which skills get trained faster and which skills take longer to train as a consequence and that option only comes once a year (again, SP is never reallocated). Only a part of their SP gets reimbursed back to them whenever CCP makes changes to the skill tree that is considered extensive and even then the amount refunded to them is minor at best compared to the 50 million SP the average Eve player has.

But still, overall the new players are never given a single respec. They are forced to live the mistakes of their choices in Eve Online. It has been like this for 10 years and so far there has only been one, I say again, ONE respec in its entire existence.

Dust 514 is operating under the rules of New Eden which are as follows:

1. Adapt or Die
2. Don't use what you cannot afford to lose.
3. Accept the permanent consequences of your choices and move on.

They're are also the core principles of New Eden. They are as relevant to Eve and Dust as the Holy Bible is to a devout Christian and Catholic. Messing with these core principles or basic rules is like trying to mess with the natural order of things. The outcome will not be pretty.

If you are not willing to accept the consequences of your choices, whether your decisions were ill-informed or well-informed, then you have only two choices. Harden up or get the hell out of New Eden.

Welcome to New Eden. The harshest and most brutal universe in the history of MMO and FPSs.

No. My reasons are clear enough as it is.

EDIT:

Except for the 100,000 WP part. 10,000 WP is too little of a requirement to graduate.

@Bubba

It doesn't matter anymore whether or not Eve and Dust are different. They are still operating under the same rules as I mentioned above and those rules don't care if you are a PC MMO player or a console FPS player.

Any more challengers?
