No, there will be no offering of respecialization in the coming 1.3 update.

Slayer is the only role that exists in dust atm. As soon as you can do something other than dm or objective dm then we can have suits that are inferior at slaying.

Hell, I thought you guys would have understood this by now. Look at llavs. What are they being used for? Just like logi suits. Want to know why? Because there are no other roles.

Look at eve if you want to see what alternate roles actually look like. Today, in dust, we have alternate names and that's it.

I wasn't really clear, and I apologize :) I was referring in regards to the 'slayer role' in which most people have specced logi for, because they are currently superior to the assaults in that aspect! That won't be the case with the changes, but logistics suits will be far from useless in terms of combat or utility. They just won't have the best raw hp/damage potential anymore.

Buster STFU cause you don't know what you're talking about.



Is the AV role designed for slaying buster or the support role? Cleary another ignorant post from someone who has nevered PC'd which only leads to one conclusion...

Bad player making bad posts

This is why no one is playing :P why spend never refundable sp on a system that changes non stop...

Maybe if the grind wasn't 32 years

Too be fair, 1.3 is far too early to be discussing respecs.

One last respec should only occur once all heavies, scouts, tanks, lavs, loldropships, and racial ARs are in the game.

What about MTACS, MAVs, Jets, racial variants of other weapons, cloaking, etc?

No repecs anymore.

logis and i regret that too.
I learned, that you dont need to be in a mainstream fit to be useful, you can be as good as everyone else just by using the fit you like, doesnt matter, how "bad" it is. (like scouts, Pyrex can use scouts like a boss, but everyone else thinks scouts are crap)

So a tip for all those out there who dont want to play a certain role because its not "good": You can play whatever role you want and still kick ass

Slayer is the only role that exists in dust atm

At least a third of my corp doesn't play a slayer role.
We have had a fair bit of success in this setup.
You are the same guy that doesn't think the core flaylock is overpowered.
Stay away from balance threads. My best bet is that your post are bad, failed meta.

The game can't be balanced around pub matches. Players in pub matches are free from having to create counterstrategy for the most part. Without the threat of repeated matches against similar tactics, no real strategic depth can emerge in a game.
If someone is stomping you in a pub, you can leave and switch battle servers or queue dodge.
If someone is stomping you in a PC match, you better figure our a way to beat what they are doing, or you are going back to the pub matches. This is why counters are made. Not so that you hit the lotto and have fused locus out in your pubs and a bunch of scouts spawn in.
None of us want to stomp you in the pub matches. You guys don't have enough skillpoints to be competitive either way (not your fault, CCP's fault)

Wow. I guess I missed the elite douchebag requirement for joining PC. I thought you just needed clones?

As I've said, in many threads BTW, balancing around PC is fine, as long as there's enough of you generating enough data to make that feasible. But CCP cannot balance around PC play only. Most Dust players don't play that game, sure it needs to be balanced too, but so does pub play. Like it or not, PC is not the end all be all of Dust.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what it looks like when game developers don't give a flying **** about their playerbase.

Yea, because I was one of those people that speced into a caldari logi knowing it was OP and used that advantage to lay waste to everyone around me...

Oh wait, I speced into Minmatar to play an actual logi after spending weeks weighing the pros and cons and expected modifications to existing suits not believing CCP would actually go out of their way to make drastic modifications to some suits destroying all the reasoning behind my decision and wasting weeks of accumulated SP.

I mean, look at DLC for disc based games... at least any not released by Crapcom. If I were to go out and buy Dark Souls, I would know that I bought a COMPLETE game, Dust just doesn't give me that feeling.

Dust will never be complete.

By that logic, no game will ever be complete because develops can always add DLC if they want to. Do you think that right now, as it stands, Dust 514 is a 60 dollar game?

Dust will never be complete.

No, there will be no offering of respecialization in the coming 1.3 update.

No. Nor did it cost me 60 dollars.

My point, is that CCP has already stated, multiple times, that there will be no respecs. I think that's pretty much the end of the story.

If we compare Eve of 9 years ago, to Eve of today, the entire thing has changed, yet no repec has been given out in all the time I've played (As I understand it there was on early on).

So, CCP, apparently, has decided that there is enough content to do a respec freeze. The fact that you and I differ on where we might draw the line, doesn't really amount to a hill of beans.

Can you bold the part where I am being elitist?
Agree that it can't be balanced around PC data alone, but pub data needs to be purely supplemental. What is overpowered in PC is usually OP in pubs. What is OP in pubs can have 16 people working together against it, and may not be overpowered in PC. What is OP in both, needs to be fixed. Caldari Logis and Core Flaylocks are overpowered in both.

Lets not even talk about balancing for PVE until we have PVE? "Soon" doesn't really have a meaning in the traditional sense.
