DUST Search - *sigh... Respecs...

by the time the new dropsuits and whatnot are added we'll have enough SP to just spec into it.

If they mess around with a skill too much they should refund it, but aside from CCP making a major change to the game there should be no more respecs or refunds.

Just adding new weapons or suits isnt enough of a reason to refund IMO.

a case could be made for a refund once all the racial frames are in, I must admit as those could be rather game changing, but I don't think its entirely needed.

In any case CCP has stated that they can't (not wont, keep in mind the language used) do any more respecs so be careful with your SP.

So heed this warning well - don't go proto or any higher than basic frame level 3 until you are absolutely sure you want to specialize into that role. there are plenty of core skills (fitting/ tank) for you to spend your SP on for now.

Once those are in place, if more weapons, turrets, or niche suits/vehicles are added, there shouldn't be further respecs. Once all the core game components are in place, anything new added is fair game. Granted it may take a couple years to get the core components down, the proposal seems reasonable.

Agreed; the game will never be done and just adding new weapons and suits isn't enough for a refund. I do agree that once all the racial frames come in, that should be one of the last respecs. However, I also think that there should be at least two roles per frame and that the last respec should be when all the frames (with at least two roles per size) and all the racial vehicles are available. After that, I would not advocate more respecs; rather, at best, I'd be ok with a small, free sp buffer with major new stuff after the core. That being said, even a free sp buff is still pushing it.
