I hardly think i'm taking this game too seriously, but I will gladly step up as a fanboy of this game because I enjoy it, and I can see what it will become.

I mean, maybe in 5 years when this game has enough content and stuff to do, it would be okay to have this mentality. I would love to believe that my merc is walking his own path towards glory and fame. But i'm not going to drink the CCP koolaid marketing diarrhea.
Your merc is walking his own path towards glory and fame, if you let it happen . Your starting now when its hard, when you fight the game as much as you fight your opponents. Those awesome days of glory and fame are a ways off yet, just as they are for DUST, but both will get there if they keep walking.

We don't have near enough content to justify thinking this way.
All we have is a repetitive lobby shooter that takes MONTHS just to "mostly" specialize in. A repetitive lobby shooter that suffers performance issues, suffers developers who have no idea how to make a fun FPS and most all, suffers a long grind spanning several years just to unlock content.
Give us respecs, if only until we get enough content to keep us from getting burned out .
I love the anguish the idea that it takes months to mostly specialize in something . The fact that you can have character progression for years, that the choices you make now can affect you years down the road is something you will have a hard time finding anywhere else. Don't squander it out of impatience.
As to respecs as an alternative to sufficient content... its a poor design, and an argument I frankly don't get. We have more content now than anyone can spec into for years to come already, and yet people claim its not enough? If you have tried it all already, ill bet its only because of the respecs they gave out.
I do get the argument for respecs around the holes we know about. I personally am very interested in seeing the caldari and amarr scout suits. But because we know they are coming we can plan around them. We can use an advanced level of one of the other races for minimal SP. We can focus on our core skills and weapons while we wait. We have options.
The real problem I see with the arguments about content, about how ccp released only half the suits, is that i don't think people realize that the content will not hit some point and be done. This is not your regular shooter that gets feature complete and is done forever. They will be adding new suits, new weapons, new vehicles, roles, classes of things, etc, for the next decade. EVE is a perfect example of this. The last expansion, a decade into the game, they released 4 new ships.
The new is never going to stop.
Because of that, you can not set the precedence now for on demand respec, and then 5 or 3 or 1 years down the road when they pass some arbitrary content threshold remove that ability. The damage will have been done. I would rather have a little tougher time now than to destroy the meaning skills will have down the road. |
