I am one who bought a veteran pack and an elite pack. I pay for boosters like everyone else. I am not always in favor of respecs either. I can see both sides. blatent respecs anytime you want is stupid and would destroy the game.

That being said, you would be in favor of someone who's build gets totally trashed like us heavies and those poor Drop ship pilot just to suffer for a few months while they rebuild their merc slowly and painfully. Sorry bro that will make tons of players just leave like they are already doing in droves. the last respec brought a lot of joy back to some players and that is why im for it with restrictions.


Folks are already playing FOTM as it is. All Tac's or all Flaylocks pick your build

I still want the ability to respec and think it should be available. Would love CCPs opinion on the matter. Has it been determined that you will make more money off boosters and chancing that some players will leave instead of grind as opposed to paying for respecs? They must have their reasoning besides live with your choices. I'm guessing that's what they say when it's simply a choice to make more money. I understand that choice I mean it is a business but I'm just curious on their thoughts

The fact that the game is still so far from being complete is that main reason that at least one respec should happen at some point. People were expected to make a choice of what path to take without actually knowing what was down any of them. I'm a perfect example of this fact. I went Amarr Logi when i really liked the idea of being Gallente logi purely because i didnt want to deal with the speed drop from armor plating. Now that the new plates are out i would love to be Gallente logi but its an insane amount of SP waste on a suit to switch over. Sure getting into a Gallente logi suit isnt that bad but we all know if youre going into PC you need proto gear. That means its going to cost 2.7 million SP to get a proto Gallente logi while if someone just wants to spec into the new items its only 700k to do so. Thats insanely unbalanced and causes the first side to have 2.7 mil wasted on a dropsuit they dont want to use while the second gets new plates plus can also still use whatever mods they were previous spec'd into.

I'm fine with the idea that you make choices and live with the consequences in New Eden but to not have any idea what the consequences are is a poor way to do things. Sure Dust is a game where there will always be new things added but we arent even to the point where all the basic things are established in order for people to really make informed choices that have incredibly long lasting effects.

The 'incomplete' argument is one of the few reasonable arguments that can be brought into play. My only counter to that is lore based. The clone mercenary business is new and the megacorporations of New Eden are just now getting around to providing the products. Everybody gets access to the new products at the same time. I don't know of a good lore based reason of removing knowledge of one system and replacing it with another so you're instantly an expert. I'm fairly dedicated to Minmatar based tech and it's irritating that I have to learn other racial systems for now but I am and will adapt when I can go full Minmatar.

This game doesn't have enough content to keep the masses interested. I am only back playing after a month hiatus. A hiatus chosen by me due to boredom. To keep this game fresh respecing into different suits/weapons is much needed. I propose a respec available for $10 worth of AUR. I'm not suggesting if you are allowed to respec Jan 1 and don't use it you can use one mid March and then again on April 1. If you buy one and use it a 90 day waiting period is mandatory before another is available.

Forget the OP arguement and the FOTM one too. It's rediculous. You need DUST to be self sufficient and not leach funds off of EVE. All those arguement are from fanboys whom want this game to be EVE.

I haven't spent a dime on this game and have been here since day 1 of open beta, but I would definitely buy respecs and probably for multiple characters. I get that it may dip into booster sales but only the hardcore players buy boosters and would continue to do so. You have a wealth of untapped $ just waiting for you.

This would keep people playing in your world of lack of content. At the rate you can produce content you will have DUST on the level of BF3. That's great but BF4 will have been out for 2 years by then. Your guys are innovative but cannot keep up with the market. Once games like Destiny are released you will have been surpassed. Keep your core guys here with respec flexibility. Give new players hope that after they get a handle on the game and know what they like a respec to get the player they now know they want is only $10 away.

Show your support if you agree! Lets keep this on the front page. A daily reminder on what most people want and not the few vocal fanboys fear.

A couple of things that annoy me while I'm at it. When I look at a guns stats and guns range is listed in all other FPSs. Also names of the map you are about to play are in other FPSs. I get you love to be different but these are some glaring and obvious items that are just a few reasons I didn't think CCP was worthy of my money.

Why is Democracy a great way to lead? Freedom! Give us the freedom to respec and cash in!

Daily bump. Still think it would give this game a much needed boost

And you still failed to provide any compelling argument for this thought of yours.

The ability to respec every 90 days keeps the ge fresh for vets. Is convenient for new players after they figured out how they want to play. When the rest of the racial suits come out a tespec should be allowed for all. To tell someone they should be saving their SP indefinitely in hopes CCP will add the other racials is ludicrous. Wih no ETA on new suits. How long do you expect them to wait.

Instead we get new suits altogether, commando, and still don't have the other racial. Does that make the slightest bit of sense?

The ONLY acceptable idea I've seen toward giving you SP back to spend somewhere else was the idea of a "reverse" booster that would allow you to earn back your SP.

Any means of instantly refunding all your SP for ISK or AURUM is unacceptable.

Pay 2 win can't be argued here if you limit how often you can respec. Allowing them for isk is absurd. This game is here to make money. Not because CCP just really likes us.

it is exactly a pay to win situation. you're talking about a respec that would be infinitely valuable for 10 million isk? that's stupid. i'll allow it for 8 bil.

With the Metagame in place, they can't allow something as important as a respec be an only aurum option.

Why? Explain yourself. I'm not from eve and don't understand the meta game comment

Here is something for you then Nick. If one class gets a respec all should get a respec. Say there is a RPer and the want to be a heavy but RP as a Minmatar. This person would never have specced Amarr heavy. So this person who wanted to be a heavy doesn't get a respec because they aren't now specced heavy. That's not fair. Respecs should be available for all if they are allowed at all

Lol malkai. Pathetic arguement. Good try tho.

The problem with the "rest of the racial suits" is that the meaning of the term "rest" changes with every build as there will be new suits (and vehicles, we already know of at least two completely new types!) that lack racial variants. To tell players and CCP to let go of one of the core principles of New Eden just because some can't be bothered to choose from what is available is equally ludicrous, if not more so.

Frankly... it'd make more sense to give everyone an option respec every new build (IE: Chromosome -> Uprising) that way if new content comes out that people are excited for or you've gotten tired of playing your role, you can put in a ticket within the first couple of weeks of the build, then get your skills / skill points unallocated and try something new.
