i never once used cal logi and i want a respec. this game gets boring if you dont change it up once in a while. i used to play this game for like 5 hours day, just loved it, but now its just not as fun as it used to be. my sp is all over the place (mass drivers, ADS, Caldari basic frame ck.0, forge guns, hmgs, scrambler rifles, scouts, etc.) because i got bored of using the same scrambler rifle every match. the grind takes months to get just a one thing to proto, and people are bound to get bored using the same gear they are stuck with.

Hell no.

Respecs go against the very being of the EVE universe, which is 'your actions have consequences'.

If you want to pew pew a bit in a game without this, I think Battlefield or COD are both catering to your playstyle. You can change all the weapons all the time in them.

Also, stuff gets balanced all the time. Deal with it and play what you like to play instead of what is the fotm build. This way you won't rage on some internet forums when some numbers get fiddled with for the good of the game.

This too is part of EVE was the point the person you replied to was trying to make. Each expansion of EVE sees rebalances to various ship types, introduction of new game mechanics or ships and many other things. Suddenly, if something doesn't work anymore, players figure out what does work, or how to adapt their old strategies to new mechanics or ship types. If this means taking a new skill line, so be it. In EVE, one of the most important things to train isn't a specific ship class. Its core skills. And the same holds true in DUST. Train all of your dropsuit upgrade skills that confer passive bonuses first, then go focusing on getting into proto suits. You'll find it much less painful when you can fit a lot more to a weaker suit. Ultimately, its just a matter of accepting reality, putting on your best smile, and finding enjoyment even in the midst of confusion. I really am sorry for everyone who specced into terrible things or things that were nerfed, and I feel that what we need isn't a respec. We need PvE. Something to do to experiment without as high a risk of loss and to gain the SP that is vital to do things in PvP. Just like in EVE. Additionally, DUST needs EVE's actual skill system. EVE uses attributes to determine the training speed of a skill, and these attributes can be enhanced with implants, for faster training. The major thing is that... each skill uses two attributes to determine how fast it trains. A primary and a secondary. And... EVE players get a remap of their attributes each year, so that they can quickly shift their training focus into new skill types. New players get three remaps to start. If DUST had the same skill system, the passive training would feel meaningful enough that people might just be willing to turn the game off for a week, or to just casually play while they speedgrind through the SP via passive training for whatever their focus is.

The consequences of some choices ingame of your are unknown, as are they of most things. (would we have won this match if didn't focus on the tank? etc. etc.) If you want to know everything or even most things in advance, playing a multiplayer game is a really bad choice. Playing a game set in the EVE universe is an even worse choice. Since both thrive on people making choices without knowing everything and dealing with the consequences of those actions taken.

That is why you need to learn to focus less on what is best and more on what do I find fun to play with, so you don't go haywire when something happens with your suit. The caldari logi suit is still very much a logi suit. Following the skill what you find fun to play a CPU or PG decrease wouldn't matter, maybe you'll have to switch out a mod for for another one and switch some PG or/and CPU mods, the way you play the suit however wouldn't change. A logi suit would still be a logi suit, even if you have a bit less tank on it.

I think the problem with people wanting respecs is that they don't realize that the road to your goal is the goal and you'll have to enjoy that. instead they want Proto fotm builds for every patch something gets changed and they see another fotm build instead of enjoying the role they like to play.

The only nice idea for respecs I've seen was in the Feedback and Ideas subsection, which had Respecs as reverse training. So every match instead of gaining SP, you transferred SP from a skill to general SP pool again, ready to spend it on another skill.

I really hope for the best of this game, I think respecs will help, no one would quit for respecs, but plenty will for the absence of them.


Respec for AUR? Sure. Cooldown? Ok. For ISK? Farm for it.
