No more skill respecs. On a side note, when skills/items are changed, isk and sp refunds for those skills/items affected should be issued with the change, whether it be a nerf, buff, or 1:1 switch around. Its like advertising and selling the largest 1080p HD TVs on the market, then once everyone has one, go into everyone's homes and turn the TVs into 720p TVs with no refunds. Its a ****** metaphor but I got my point across.

Aye, gotcha.

It seems funny to me how the "HTFU" mentality has been intended as a draw for customers by CCP, only to have it partially backfire in the instance of, say, DUST. In EVE, if you make some silly noob mistakes, you can earn the ISK back. You don't have to worry about the mistake influencing your ability to pull up your bootstraps and have another go.

But with DUST, if you mess up, SP-wise, your stuck with sub-optimal gear while all the vets taunt you as they send you to the clone farms time and time again with their perma-god weapon, the proto assault rifle.

I'm all for at least one free respec. After that, yeah, you should have to pay for it in some way, either AUR or SP.

People are leaving because they are tired of skilling into something and then finding out it is useless. Or they made foolish choices like I did. I spent over a year working on my tree and had i known what i know now i would have never ever used my sp the way i did. The grind on this game to get other skills is just to much. people dont have time for that. And if they do its probably because they have a very carefree life. I cant even log on for the sp event. Yea so much for extra sp.

If we get another respec I'm not spending a single point for forever

>_<

Awseome. Thanks for keeping this alive guys. I can only hope that by seeing this post CCP might reconsider there no respec plan. I mean with all the changes going on it really shouldnt matter at this point. They are going to have to give some kind of respec.

1+ signed CCP can not change skills and not give a respec simple as that.

Exactly! You skill into a suit because its got three low slots POW! now its got one slot. I know its an over exaggeration but hey thats pretty much what CCP is about to do.

i agree, a respec is needed. i want a refund in vehicles and heavies, i didnt know they sucked ass

In Eve are you forced to use only that ship all day every day to fight against only other players on a handful of maps?

Just curious.

No but you get paid for killing each rat, you get paid for looting their corpses, for mining rocks, for pulling resources off a planet, for scamming, for trading, for scanning and exploring, for hacking, for running industry, for killing other players, for completing missions.

Man, EVE and DUST are like, practically the same game.

So we're just not supposed to play the game how we like because CCP screwed up? We're supposed to just sit on millions of SP for months and months if not years just in the hopes that one day we can play something worthwhile, since CCP won't allow us to spend our hard earned SP how we see fit, or with all the information at hand.

This mentality is poison.

You deserve to be able to make your decisions with all the information in front of you, particularly when speaking about CORE things, which the vast majority of changes coming down the pipe are.

I've played EVE and all the things you mention don't cost nearly what you mention unless you're trying to be the best of the best. You can get plenty of mileage out of basic things and some intelligence. I was making PLEX for a few months just mining and watching the market, and my skills are FAR from maxed. And what's most amusing is that in your attempt to defend EVE's....difficulty?..you just continue to prove how EVE is a game with a wide variety of playstyles and approaches, where as DUST, as you say, is spawn in the MCC and drop uplinks.

Respecs allow you to spend your SP the way you want when you have all the information laid out in front of you. The real mentality that is poisonous is thinking DUST is complete and that everyone should be happy with their decisions because the entire core structure is in place.

It isn't.

Like you said. You expect heavies to not exist because they're bad, so no one should have skilled into them, everyone should have been smart and specced flavor of the game (logi) or just HTFU. Really what it boils down to is some people chose the builds that are best for this game, and don't want anyone else to have the chance to fix or alter their builds in light of the new changes.

Proof that you have no clue what you're talking about is that you don't even acknowledge the new turret skill tree.

Oh, and in EVE you can buy about 600 million ISK for $20
