Most mmos have a respect at the expense of in game currency and most fps game u can change how and what u wanna use easily and fast. Eve may not and even tho dust was made by the same ppl thus is not eve or even a mmo this is a console fps. Console fps players get bored eventually and like to explore or play different with something else to keep the game enjoyable imo.

Ccp has to please the hardcore console players to keep them happy and always mesing up failing to balance the game turns them away. They see this as a fps and not like some ppl see his and what it can become. It would also help the new players figure out his game better and know what to do easier.

I don't want a respect every month from now on just till ccp can get their crap together and do things right everytime. Once ccp figures it all out and way to do thing the proper way and somewhat please he majority of their players their should be no respec. Their is what 9 years left of this game? Why not have some type of respec every month or a way to untrain a skill per level for the next 6 months to a year. I think it would help alot with ccp trying to balance this game.

You eve players may not like it but remember this is not a mmo computer game this is a console fps that is somewhat still a beta to alot of people.

It's simple, really. There is a reason some skills have more people putting SP into them than others- they have an unfair advantage.

By allowing players to respec every month, CCP can quantify which weapons are becoming too popular, and possibly, overpowered.

The respecs stop when every skill has relatively similar numbers of players speccing into them. That is the definition of balance, and would create more diversity on the battlefield.

Eventually, people would stop respeccing into different weapons because no weapon, vehicle, or dropsuit is far superior to any others. That is the goal of balancing and this is the only way to do it.


Bring the hate. I have my helmet ready.

I think you might have missed my sarcasm in that post

You must have made mistakes in your current build. You must also have the inability to save back a mil or so of SP. These are your problems. NO MORE RESPECS. Stop spending all your SP on the flavor of the week. We know about all the upcoming changes and if you can't save the SP then you don't get to play with then new toys. Simple as that. people wailing for respecs remind me of the kid that throws a temper tantrum and rolls around on the floor screaming trying to get your way. Instead of a respec you need a time out.



Oh, and Zdub, sitting in the MCC hardly counts as grinding, we know you work so hard for your SP

Just because other games have respec features, that doesn't mean Dust 514 is obligated to have it. CCP has already made clear, whether directly or implied, that there will be no more respecs.

I'm curious how MCC camping even matters. So you're saying that's not the right way to play the game? I thought the point was to get SP. How about HTFU and Welcome to Eden.


Players chase "FOTM", as some like to refer to it because they want to win primarily but also in part because they're punished otherwise for trying anything else. While it does require little time to get to standard level gear, standard barely cuts it for most against the sea of Prototype geared players. The punishment might not be understand by some with an idea "that no SP is wasted", and a player can always grind more. However not everyone plays Dust strictly for the grind, and their fun is quickly diminished after dying over and over.

I begin to wonder if it's not something along the lines of players wanting to "win" their way which fuels a portion of the anti-respec sentiment. Preserving through cycles of OP weapons and set ups, while making sure to avoid using them and even at times chastising players for using the current cream of crop, then waiting until they're nerfed and gleaming some sense of accomplishment. That ideal might very well be a drive force for some of the respec opposition. I'm curious though to see if Dust can sustain losing players over it.

I don't care if it's clear or not. The vets of this game, the ones who break it down to the numbers of every single weapon, dropsuit, and piece of equipment know that this game is broken and exactly in which ways it is broken. We point these things out and give the most logical ideas, but 'special cases' like you who would blindly defend CCP before thinking for yourselves, go and ruin everything.

I don't hate noobs. In fact, some of them have amazing ideas, but you and your buddies have no clue. At all. This whole 'no respecs' ideology will make Dust stale. NOBODY wants to play the same exact way for months on end, let alone YEARs. Eventually, CCP will have to get in when people leave for Destiny because they can do more than run around with an assault rifle that they don't even like, but have no other option because it would take 2 months to spec into something else good.

I'm willing to bet that you AFk because this game sucks in its current state and you want to use another weapon, but can't because it takes like 2 months to do so. Bamsis. Another reason why we should get monthly respecs. WHEN PEOPLE ENJOY THE GAME, THEY DON'T AFK IN THE MCC. That simple. People enjoy a game when they don't have a boring or UP weapon.

all skills are equally available to everyone, so there is no unfair advantage. If the skills/weapons are unbalanced, they're adjusted to create better, more interesting gameplay, not to punish those that chose those skills.



Holy **** this is the dumbest thing I have heard today. Popularity != power.
