First of all, let me say i respect all opinions regarding this matter (which are many according to the various threads around), so this thread evolves around my idea as about how to approach this issue.
It-¦s very simple: I think respec will be an asset to the game that will make it more appealing to new players and to some seasoned ones as well, but not all for sure.
My proposition is this:
Once a year you can respec your skills. No ISK or AURUM on this. Everyone gets 1 respec a year. Thats it. I would recommend January 1st and they will not stack, if you did not use it, you lose it, until next January 1st.
Now, i read a lot of posts about this subject and will try to give my opinion as to why i think it-¦s a good idea.
1.- Respec will be OPTIONAL. You will use it only if you want to. If you feel like you don-¦t need it or you just simply don-¦t want to it-¦s ok, your choice, your game experience. Basically, let everyone decide for themselves.
2.- Since it will be a year after you can do it again, you have to cope with the new skill tree you just chose, and in my opinion it-¦s time enough for a player to invest a little time and effort into grasping the basics of how skills/weapons/fittings work in order to make accurate decisions about the game-¦s mechanics in the future.
3.- Since this will be OPTIONAL, I-¦m sure many players will respec maybe once or twice in a toon-¦s lifetime (2 years), cause the learning curve will be over by then and many will allready be familiar as to what to train for certain outcomes.
4.- You must understand that each person has a different approach to fun in gaming, so many will like it, many won-¦t, but thats the whole idea of CHOICE...let everyone decide.
5.- It-¦s all up to the DEV-¦s and CCP-¦s policies of gaming that will give it to us or not in the end, BUT, if gamers have a say on this matter, well, put it to a vote if you think the issue is worth it and let-¦s see what the majority says about it.
Thanks for reading and keep in mind that i also played (2 years) EVE Online and know what it-¦s all about, still i think everyone is entitled to an opinion and thus i am saying it here.
P.S.- "I may not agree with your point of view, but i will give my life to defend your right to express it". |

I forgot to add on my previous post that the yearly respec option would be per account and not per toon, so even if you have your three toons active, you only would get one respec a year for any of the three, or two or one you are using.
About corporation skills, i suppose that if the projected respec would affect a corporation on any way, those should stay permanent.
If someone has a link on a statement made by CCP about this matter, please link it here, cause in the end it-¦s only them who decide what is going to happen, if there isn't one yet, i asume CCP is considering the idea, because, by the amount of respec threads out there, CCP might have shed some light in the matter in order to stop people like myself posting threads about the issue. Maybe CCP has said something about this and my thread should be locked, but, if CCP has not taken a definitive posture on this, then i don't think any respec thread (in favor or against) should be closed, cause opinions in public forums should be free.
People have the choice in a public forum not to read something they dont like or read it, think about and still not post anything. In anyway, freedom of choice is very important to me as a person, so, if CCP leaves this option open for a vote i know what my vote is going to be, if not, it's theyre right, game-¦s still free and CCP owns it so they can do what ever they think it's best.
I dont have much time playing Dust, that is true, and i may lack the experience of a seasoned player, true also, but i still think that this option is a matter of CHOICE, you can chose not to respec your toon if you dont want to.
It-¦s like any other liberty, if CCP allows this, which is the main thing to know, players will have the CHOICE, not OBLIGATION, to benefit from the respec.
In my case, and i dont know if any other people feel the same way, even if tanks were the flavor of the month, or nova knifes, i would not respec on them, why? cause i dont like tanks or nova knifes, i like dropsuits and AR, so, people may have many different motives to use respec, and not always the motives we think will be dominant, still, the only way to really know is to give it a try.
I read that there have been 2 respecs before and the game goes on so, i still consider this option good.
P.S.- Thanks for posting your points of view on this. I found some interesting arguments on the matter, but still consider that many of the cons posted are not related to choice, but to the consequences of it for other players, so, in the end, if CCP sees as opposers do that respec is a bad idea, then so be it, CCP has spoken and so have the players. Thanks again. |

Buster Friently wrote:CCP has spoken on this. Way back at the end of closed beta, they said no more respecs barring something major. They have since had one optional respec, and have stated that there will not be another. I can't be bothered to dig the posts up for you.
Suffice it to say that I don't support respecs. They are unneeded. It's not like you get a "redo" on your bank account. As I posted before, yearly respecs won't reduce forum whining, and they won't help players because players already get passive SP to the tune of 8 million SP per year. It's hard to imagine an sp problem that can't be solved with 8 million SP, and that's only passive. The future is unknown, plan accordingly.
Optional or not, allowing future respecs will devalue sp decisions and undermine the (not yet implemented) economy. Also, as Dust integrates more tightly with Eve, you can bet respecs, if any, will be hard to come by.
Expect your decisions to be permanent.
Thanks for the info Buster, i didn-¦t know CCP had allready spoken on the matter. Guess you-¦re right, decisions will be permanent and i'll try to plan accordingly. Sorry for starting a thread on a solved issue, i'll try to be more careful next time.
