Speculation, just because the skill tree is tweaked that day doesnt necessarily mean the respecs fall on the 22nd.

Speculation, just because the skill tree is tweaked that day doesnt necessarily mean the respecs fall on the 22nd.

Even though basically all signs point to the skill respec coming when the skill tree is tweaked: skill tree is being tweaked, so skill respec is likely



More of an educated guess than speculation, but we'll see :p

"This offer will be available once changes to the Skill Tree progression system is deployed to the Tranquility server and we will keep you posted on the date of that deployment."

Linky

The "offer" is not meant as "completed respec"

Dev Post

- Reduced skill costs and level requirements for various vehicle skills
- Lowered SP cost multiplier of basic frames from x6 to x4 and role suits from x10 to x8 (players that have spent their SP on these skills reviously will get their excess SP back to their unallocated pool)

It still technically hasn't been confirmed, but all signs point to the optional respec landing on the 22nd

You forgot to mention the part where he said you now only have to train the race skill to level 3 to unlock the role skill.

Then why would it be in the section titled Optional Skill Point Respec?

O.o

I thought the costs for dropsuit engineering and electronics would have been reduced as well.

I wouldnt think so, those are more advanced skills to train. I see those as beyond getting your suit and into the slow growth of improving it.

I just mean that it might be a few days after the "offer" begins til the respecs are completed. I wouldnt necessarily expect them right on the 22nd, not ruling it out but not making assumptions either.

Wait, where are all the guys who were saying this build would kill the game with the massively inflated time to get to Specialist Proto? Why aren't they posting in this thread?

Thanks for the update DF.

So in order to get into a specialized role prototype suit you only need about 2.8 million SP as opposed to the 5 million SP before before. That gives us a good 2.2 million extra skill points to spend. But of course since they are reducing the skill level requirement to move onto specialized suits from V to III, if you did not request a respec and already started specializing that is 1,865,520 SP you'll never see again (assuming you didn't want the basic frame prototype).

Honestly I dont know why people would waist their SP on Assault Proto when they can get Basic Proto no problem, and Logi proto right under it. Untill they give assault suits a massive boost, they are damn near worthless.

but there has been nothing said that further changes aren't forthcoming...

I would assume they will issue re-specs once their skill tree 'renovations' are complete.

and they haven't indicated the dropsuit skills are the only thing there are changing...

just playin devils advocate here..

Well I agree that Assault suits need different fitting layouts than the basics (as do scouts and sentinels), but the skill bonuses are still pretty nice. 25% shield recharge rate plus whatever your racial bonus, it's worth something.

Of course before the difference between basic proto and assault proto was 3 million SP, not really worth it. Now it's halved to about 1.5 million SP. That can be worth it for some, but it still needs something to differentiate it.

So what exactly is the point of Proto Basic Frames now?
