What is your stance on allowing respecs after the racial scouts, heavies, and vehicles are released?

Why can't we question you about your stance in all this respec-thing?

Players have a right to know your stake in respecs.

Fair enough.

I also summed #3 why there should be another respec.

CCP's word isn't worth much for DUST514 lately isn't? AAA Shooter? lol .... it's only a fool that thinks they should keep their word on the respecs.

No you don't. Not unless I'm running for the CPM or the CSM which I can't imagine myself doing... ever. I was just being nice enough to tell you my stake in this.

Overall, I look at it from an economic and data-gathering standpoint which are the principle reasons why I am mostly against respecs. Besides, I already explained in detail why I am against respecs in general. I am not obligated to repeat myself over and over again especially since you all have the search function available for you.

Or in other words: they should have taken their time to test a good SP-system (and the rest of the basics) before "releasing" the game.

When you could be motivated in part by not wanting to confront the internal moral conflict that respecs being introduced to the would induce, there exists a reasonable prospect that you have a conflict of interest in regards to respecs. That's what I feel players have a right now along with your opinions on respecs.

On more then one occasion you cited you'll quit both games if respec are introduced. That's a clear potential for you to have a personal stake in there no being respecs, considering how by your own admission you've played Eve Online for 10 years, and therefore has a great deal to lose from quitting.

If I had to hazard a guess I'd say Dust's development reached a point that it needed to be "released" in attempt to increase revenue potential so development could continue.

If that would be true then I hope they have learned a lesson from it...it makes sense with all the AUR-packages...aaaah we'll never know for sure.

There's a distinct possibility of me doing the same, should this happen eve side or in other ways than skillback boosters or strictly limited for racial symmetry purposes dust side (search for the term and my name to get what i mean).

The reason is not blind vengeance for CCP not doing as i wish but because the SP system is one of the most important reasons why i play both games and a hallmark of New Eden. If this is gone, i might be gone as well. Simple as that.

Racial symmetry is something I can see as a valid excuse but only core suits like Amarr Heavy, Amarr Assault, Amarr Logi and Amarr Scout. I would not support respecs just because Amarr Covert Ops just came out soon after.

Two things I noticed about those not supporting respecs

1. Played since at least beginning of open beta where they got the chance to make their mistakes and then were given two respecs upon release of Uprising to fix them.

2. All of the dropsuits, weapons, and vehicles they want are already in the game.

I feel like people completely ignore the other side of the pro-respec crowd. The people who only want to use their respecs for the current Flavor of the Month. I highly doubt they are as few as people say they are and I'm convinces that's the major reason people want respecs.

I'd say anything that gets a racial variant allows a relocation of already spent SP from one variant to another, one time per char and limited only to the specific skills and their prerequisites.

Future generations of players won't care about what we'd view as "core" today so i can't see how we can justify denying them something that we already got for the very same reasons.

I'm not sure Maken Tosch if I understand your option completely, I'm a EVE noob and I still think DUST is better off with some more thinkering and testing, but ooh well...I'm actually starting to not care anymore...seems you feel that way too? Doesn't sound good eh?






That's if you won't limit the respecs in any way of the other, noone said it doesn't have to have any consquences.

I'll admit, I'm #1, but none of the dropsuits, weapons, and vehicles I want are in game yet.

Where's my pilot suit and minmatar fighter with autocannons?

For these, save your SP.

There are no variants of this content in game.

Any content that is added should be added only when all Racial Variants can be added as one package. This would eliminate the need to allow respecs for content added under these Expansions.

Current classes and Roles of Vehicles and Dropsuits, as well as some weapons do not have all Racial Variants, thus warranting a respec for at least the respective skill lines where missing Racial Variants are possibly effected. (Heavy Frames, Light Frames, LAVs, HAVs, and Dropships.)

I don't even know if I would include weapons in this. Possibly on a case by case basis. Respecs for weapons open the door to FOTM abuse which is prevalent mostly in Weaponry.

I like to remind everyone here that Eve Online has all the core racial ship classes it needs and those ships still get rebalanced every now and then along with their respective modules. Yet they haven't received a single respec. So far this has not caused any problems with Eve and very little (if any) players ever complained about it nor feel that they needed a respec. This is because the core content is already there and much of the game's core mechanics have been fixed.

One more thing I need to emphasize here is that respecs will not fix core issues. You can put unlimited respecs all you want but the game will still be crap because:

1. Hit Detection hasn't been resolved.
2. Disconnects are still prevalent.
3. Weapons are still unbalanced.
4. Glitches are all over the place.

Even with the respecs, the core issues alone will still drive most players away.

Eve is bad example the system they use is minutes,hours, days, weeks, and months. So its easy to skill into something in Eve not dust. We grind for SP with limited game modes with no PVE.
