I support respec if they are limited to every 90 days or so. This would help limit FOTM to some point. I agree also helpin with longevity. I know I'm bored with this game and a respec would get me excited again.

And prepare to be flamed hard.

allowing multiple respecs would be out of line with the new eden experience.
this is a hard core game set in a hard core universe. eve is harsh, new eden is harsh.
when you take a ship out in eve or a suit out in dust you risk losing it forever.
when you spend time learning a skill in eve you never get that time back and you shouldn't in dust.
unlike pretty much every other game out there, eve/dust commits you to your choices forever.
its as close to RL while still being a game as you can get to date and its part of what sets this world apart from all the rest.
and quite frankly if you make a mistake with time you can fix it, if you have the patients... and if you don't have the patients then you don't belong here...

What he said

Mak and alt. Leave it gaining SP, test with it what you like. Commit to what you like, don't try something with too big of an investment on your main if it's unknown to you. It's a far better option than asking for respec. Just be gratefull you don't have to upgrade clones or anything because In eve, if you die and your clone is not up to date you lose skills into the ether. I lost 40 days worth of training because I forgot ton upgrade my clone and you don't get that back my friend, it's 40 more days of training to get it back.

Dude I played Dark Souls that was a hundred times more brutal and hardcore than Dust is....

And don't tell me I don't belong here, I've been preaching to the choir about all CCP amazing things they love to do and how they make a great game.....sadly the game isn't great and not yet, and possibly never will because I won't hold its player base like other session based shooters.

However in EVE I can cancel my skills half way through training so I never have to get them or commit overly long periods of time to skilling into them.

As a Dark SOuls player myself i must say:

In Dark souls you dont need MONTHS to reach a decent level character as in DUST. In a mere week you can have a powerful lv125 character (the perfect level for muti). SO creating multiple , POWERFUL characters is not an issue.

Not saying DUST is harder, its not. BUT it does take a VERY FREKN LONG TIME to accumulate SP.

BTW Demon Souls was harder and it DID have a way to do respec......

Xcom Ironman Impossible - most intense challenge i had in years.. made SL1 in darksouls seem like a cakewalk.

Lol that was a tough game too.... dust and eve really don't compete in terms of how much the game trolls you.

lol @your dark souls cooment 1st off... 2nd I never said YOU don't belong here... I said if you (the general you... not you you...lol) don't have patients you don't belong here...

and 3rd in eve ...even if you cancel a skill, the sp put into that skill remains and the time, be it an hour a day or a week is something you can never get back and that wasted sp into that skill you canceled also contributes to the larger and more expensive med clone you have to buy so you don't lose the skills you want to keep ( because yes, in eve when you die you can actually lose skills) when you get podded cause your med clone wasn't up to date.... and again.... lol @ the dark souls comment... matter of fact roflmao....

I have three alts. (Well technically two other toons)

Yeah IM not over worried about having to stick with one specific role in game, just a suggestion , what really concerns me is that all this content, which should have been core content on release is about to come out, CCP has said no respecs, so now Im in a situation where an 8m sp toon, with nearly 60 dollars investment into it over 4 months will be useless and unplayable because I wastn able to play the game the way I had initially wanted.

I mean as much as Ill get over it ...its just a disappointment that this is happening when all of this stuff should have been available on release date.

I mean forgive me if im wrong but CCP didn't release eve without atleast 1 frigate for each race did they?

Would love to have medical clones in this game...I always forget to update mine in EVE though.

Sorry my misunderstanding.
