Everybody is now on same level now thet the skills work correctly. As a result no more respects. Getting your skills right is an important part of the game and rewards players who take a risk or gamble. In dust u need to learn to live with your choices

Chromosome?

You mean Uprising...

Wow, I thought we had moved on from this "more respecs" topic. I suggest starting a "DUST is doomed" or "I am leaving" much more current QQ subjects.

Well, this is not something that feedback(QQ) will change. It is a design choice. Here comes the snarky bit. If you want a different game, feel free to start your own game company.

Now you allready know that stuff may change over time. Harden up and prepare for it by saving SP or don't if you feel confident that your stuff won't get nerfed again

I'm so pissed off, I don't even want to AFK because it'll give them the satisfaction that there's one more person going towards their projected server turnout.

Then do that, leave. Its like you are in line to get a free Dali painting and then give "feedback" on how you dont want any melting clocks in it. It is not a bug, it is a design choice. If you dont want it, accept it and leave.

when did I say anything about afking?

i liked the laser rifle. got nerfed to the ground. do you see me complain?

Addapt and overcome buttercup

do you have a bankaccount or do you just spend all you money on payday? Hoping nothing unforseen will happen?

If the only road to success was to compromise your vision and start doing things in a more traditional way, I would rather it die than turn into a shadow of what it started to be. It will succeed or it will fail, more important imo is seeing those that have faith in the vision and not catering to people who are not ready or willing to be apart of it.

CCP is not "other companies"

At one point nobody had ever ridden a bicycle. That did not mean A. Nobody wanted to ride one. B. It should not have been attempted.

You dont understand the analogy because your mind is closed to the concept. You stating you have never played a fps like this as some kind of point about how CCP should just start doing things like a mainstream FPS backs the analogy. You have never seen it, its different ( remember know, my only stated opinion in this thread is anti constant respecs) and you are not ready or willing to try a new approach. Its not a bug, its not a glitch.

I am glad dust 514 isn't one of them but planetside 2 is.

no more respecs.

Wow, so you test drive candy bars, and routers, and coffee cups, and lawn mowers? Your "even car dealers" is a little disingenuous.

Now, I agree that all of this should be in game, but Dust, like Eve, rewards those who use their brain. Using your brain means asking "what can I find out" before spending money or SP, whereas stupid means asking "why didn't you tell me"

Playing a game is not an investment. It's a pastime. Also, a car is not an investment, it's a purchase. It does cost a lot of money though, but that doesn't make it an investment. You should have diversified, as I said in my earlier post. Just like in real life. Picking the "best" isn't necessarily using your brain.

Also, I did agree that this stuff should be in game. But, using your brain, means working with what you've got. The future is always uncertain, so you should hedge your bets.

I don't really know what to tell you. I agree that there should be more info in game, but you're still stuck on "should" rather than "is". Dust will always be changing. This is why I diversify.

If the trolls and crybabies left, I do think we would enjoy it more. I have said before, I would rather it not succeed than be changed because of a bunch of whiners.

The error I got on the first day of the alert system came out.
"You cannot join this match, this match is full"

The week after they added a queue:

"You are now 47,850,130,527 in queue for the alert."
WTF?

Bugged weapons, misleading skills that don't do as advertised, stealth nerfs SP sinks... is there any other way I can spell things out for you so you can understand?

You know what the funny part is? I actually used a spreadsheet and planned my SP allocation out 100% to where I wanted to be

I'm on your side about respecs right now because Dust is still incomplete, but I got a serious question for you: Once we have all the racial weapons, suits, and vehicles, tutorials, a test lab mode to preview weapons and gear before you invest SP, and CCP stopped changing everything on a whim, would you be fine with there being no respecs?

As I posted in Deluxe's thread:

I'd normally feel the same as Caz here regarding respecs, but let's be honest here. The gear balance well.....isn't. And the sands have by no means stopped shifting, I'm sure this won't be the last time we see stat changes to both weapons, dropsuits, and vehicles - and often these don't end up anywhere near where we as a community would like them. With such a large degree of inconsistency, I'm personally much more open minded about semi-frequent respecs, Perhaps once a quarter or once a month - even if there was an associated aurum cost.

When you think about it - nothing we love is sacred right now. No matter what we invest in, there is no guarantee it's going to behave the same way tomorrow, and just from a customer service perspective if the gunplay meta is going to see-saw so wildly for the next several months at least as the development process (hopefully) improves, everything about locking people into gear they're unhappy with screams "unfun".

Ultimately, skill point selections need to be meaningful - but in the meantime, I'm feeling much more Antoinette about this - I say let the people have their respecs each time there's a major shift. Is anyone really feeling like we're well out of beta mode anyways?

It released a month ago today on 5/14/2013 (they wanted the snazzy 5/14 release date)

HAppy 1 month anniversary dust :p

Invested your SP like a moron? No respec.

Still waiting for someone to state a good reason for a respec except for "they Nerfz meh"

CCP needs to adapt to this new enterprise or more effectively manage the expectations, desires, and demands of its current and potential future player base.

If CCP, and the eve player base, can not Adapt then Dust will surely die or be that minor expansion to Eve a few players have heard about but have no interest in playing and certainly not pay into for boosters etc.

Let them grind for a change

Quote it all or don't quote at all; you put it out of context.

You should feel bad and ask for a respec.

I meant they'll be able to insta-max out every new skills that comes out; newer players won't.

If all the content were available, skills weren't bugged, and CCP didn't nerf things on a whim, do you thinks we would even be having this discussion?

I still can't believe people are arguing against respecs in an unfinished game.
