Minmatar suit is a assassin not recon! So ccp thanks for wreaking months of money an hard work my question is what are you going to do about it? Respects for all scouts an drop the class all together or fix it? Probably got close to 2 bills out of me only to destroy my wasted funds Stupid me for believing it was worth it! Anyone else choked about this and know what the fixing plan is or if their is one?

You really spent 6 months specializing into one build and now you can't run anything else? Nice sob story, enjoy your Nova Knife Proficiency 5, lol.
Specialization is supposed to be the entire basis of this game and a main selling point, the thing that it has and no other shooter can touch. Being a jack of all trades is discouraged by the very long skill training times. Which means that OZAROW took the correct approach by fully skilling into a very specific build, and the onus lies with CCP to actually make a balanced game where people can skill into a specific set of skills and be equally competitive on the battlefield in a variety of ways, a rock-paper-scissors approach to balance is a sound analogy. However, CCP has failed miserably to find any competitive balance since day 1 of closed beta.
We just continue going from one trump card to the next. At one point Scouts were world-beaters because they couldn't be shot, then Tanks, then swarm launchers, then laser rifles, then Tactical Assault Rifles, and now everyone is demanding respecs so they can put their skill points into the newest trump card of Caldari Logi.
So, go f*ck yourself Oso Peresoso, OZAROW actually spent the time to skill his character in the way that this game is supposed to operate.
The huge elephant in the room, and the one that will prevent CCP from growing the DUST population is the fact that it takes 6 months to really get anywhere near completing a specific build, but if there is no stable foundation of balance, then why would anyone spend the time skilling into anything? Once you complete the build you were working on for 6 months it may go from being a viable option to being completely and utterly useless. |
