How dare they try to give us what we want even if we are a minority of players, breaks the game, fixes the game, adds content or just makes it better. We should have never progressed past the first beta because it was perfect, so much better than what we have now. Good grief, we want static games where everything is perfect and nothing is changed. Come on CCP get your act together and give us a shoot her that never changes and all weapons are equally equal.
Get rid of any innovative ideas and give us more of the same thing we have been playing for years. Take my money and re-skin everything! I don't like or want change because it scares me and doesn't allow me to press the win button whenever I want. wait but thats what they need to be like if i spent that much time my ship better be like 50 muther focking deathstars Sorry but New Eden may not be for you.

We are not connected to eve totally different games. They are just made by the same company, the comparisons end their. Keep telling yourself that dust is in the same universe lmao.

The respec post Uprising was essential in order not to alienate players who had spent a long time improving the game in beta.
At the very least there need to be skill-branch respecs when they modify several things at once (the upcoming 1.3 might indeed be justification for it).
I don't think the CalLogi balancing on its own warrants a respec, or even refund for the Cal Logi skills. But if they keep moving the goalposts without giving anything back people will leave.
Tiericide is "chopping and changing" swathes of items in EVE. Community reaction is overall positive, if not downright ecstatic as ships and modules that haven't seen use in years become useful again. No one got respecs, even when they changed the destroyer and battlecruiser skills to be racial specific (despite it being a controversial move with more than a few respec whiners). But as IWS mentioned: DUST isn't even basic feature complete. There's no option for Caldari Heavies or Scouts. No Amarr or Minmatar vehicles or even MCCs. DUST is a game that should have stayed in beta for at least another year (it's not like there isn't a 5/14 every year - I'd even argue it'd have been more 'symbolic' to release in May 2014). A respec when the game becomes basic feature complete is fair. But that's really it IMO.
Yes, this is a large part of the argument. EVE has content enough to keep players busy for years. We don't have anything like the variety in Dust 514. Plus it doesn't take too long to skill to a point where you can contribute to your corporation in EVE, in Dust it takes a long time before you can go toe-to-toe with proto gear in PC.
If my main dropsuit gets completely FUBAR'd in the next release I don't have ~1,500,000 skill points lying around spare to spec into a new one. The impact is orders of magnitude higher when you factor in vehicles.

Planets and other objects have the same name and refer to the same place. I can see your character while playing EVE. I can talk to you. I can email you. You can join my corporation. I can join your corporation. The battle in FW on the planet affects the control of the system. I can generate battles by playing EVE. I can shoot you from EVE. You can see the eve pilots from the ground. I can see your battle on the planet. You can request support from me. I have the ability to grant or deny support for you. The PC DUST side gives bonuses to the EVE side. The player count includes both sets of players. Things happen in real time using the same time frames. Same servers, universe, developer, type of game, theme, races, open-endedness, skill system, money, and same lore. Finally, the developers of the game says that they're connected in a few ways.
There may be a few more I can't remember or don't know so chew on those troll. Because cant belive peope are really that stupid lol. If those things are not true the you are correct, there may be bugs and a low player count but that doesn't make those thing I listed not true. Thanks again for the enlightening post. By the way, I have been playing this game from the beginning, I am not a noob. |

:(
I know, this is one of the most boring games I have ever played. I like the concept and the lore. I would AFK but I am not an person who likes to use cheats, exploits, hacks or codes. I don't participate in boosting or anything anyone can consider game breaking. Everything I do is straight up, I will not even use things I consider OP.
The game is lacking and leaves me wanting. I haven't been able to play much because I am 3rd shift and my kids are on summer vacation. I really haven't missed it that much, I want to play but I have been having more fun doing other things. I don't like games to feel like a second job and I hate when they aren't fun. |

This thread is pathetic.
Back in February of this year we as a closed group of beta testers were offered the;
'Last respec' I.e this is going to be it now guys, NO MORE RESPECS After today. Fine.
So we thought long and hard about what race, gun and equipment we were going to get into.
And all was well until the greedy people who wanted all of the AUR(And SP) they have used back on the 'release date' (5/14) which then called for another respec (Barring in mind this was in the good nature of CCP, and people exploited it).
And now the first true nerf hammer has come down the tears flow. And a grand portion of these people were told ' NO MORE REPECS' And if you make a decision thats it. You have to now respect your decision (I know this is hard for the 14 year olds to wrap their tiny brains around).
So you people coming here because your suits 'useless' or IDONT WANTCALDARIITSNOT BESTANYMORE are idiots, whom have a terrible, terrible corp who never told them about the respecless enviroment or knew the consequences and still went through with their actions.
The latter category deserve it. Why should they be allowed to 'pad' their KDR when the suit is FOTM, but then cry and change suit when its not.
Which brings me to my tears. Why should i have to put up with idiots who believe the FOTM should exist for one. And then they moan about it being dealt with only to 'respec' back into the new FOTM.
Sorry guys, its my turn to shine. Leave like a little girl if i care. But if you have any sense of honour then you would come play against me. And then i can wipe you from the face of New Eden. (until my suits nerfed ofc ; ) )

I was glad to see that message but then it was changed and now here we are. A refund is bad and will only hurt the game and cause outrageous forum fires.

The only issue is that the respect system really has to be automated (and that would mean coding), so that it doesn't eat up a HUGE chunk of resources in dealing with the respects by hand.
I know a lot of people want to point their fingers at Cal Logis and go "HA HA", but quite frankly there is no reason to punish players for using the resources given to them to the best of their ability. It's so important that we move forward together as a community to improve this game.
For me that means Devs communicating to the community changes that they plan BEFORE they are locked in and giving those optional respecs (character or skill specific) to allow both the developers and the community the freedom to test and find the game balance that we are all looking for. Show me logic that supports a valid reason to have SP refunded. I am going to prove you wrong so be ready. Keeping players isn't a logical reason because the game has problems that SP reallocating can't fix.
Think o.0, problem is ccp keep changing stuff. You skill into something, then they change it and the karakter is not what you build anymore. So how you gonna prove that FACT is wrong

The changes are not enough to be breaking or cause damage to the intended role. I you built a suit using OP items then you know you did and it is going to hurt. If you built a fitting that was in the role provided by the suit then your game will not change much or at all as far as fittings are concerned. The characters are what you built unless you use broken OP gear.
It is a fact that CCP changes things when they want and how they want but it is also a fact that they fix broken items and stay within the role the suit was designed to do. I don't have to prove that fact wrong because it already is or at most only half correct. Next. |

You forgot the EvE mantra of HTFU!
I liked almost all of the Odyssey changes, the only ones I didn't like was the probe changes. It is way too easy to probe now, I liked it more when it was more difficult. |

Reallocation would allow more players to spec into op weapons and out of normal or under powered weapons making them feel even more imbalanced. The UP weapons would be buffed and the op weapons nerfed, causing more calls foe respec and more rage.
Drop ships and HAVs were overpowered when compared to AV and were nerfed into a black hole because we all cried they were op and we got them nerfed. Now the AV is too powerful and HAVs and dropships are pretty much a joke.
Spending resources on providing repecs are detrimental to the team designing the game because they have even fewer work hours to work on the game and when people don't get one for whatever reason they get mad.
Respecs beget more respecs because they are expected to be provided because they did before and why not now or they make someone who missed it for whatever reason even more mad.
Some people don't read the forums or come her to complain so it would be an hour or so wasted reinvesting SP instead of playing. I don't get much game time because of work and the last thing I want to do is read for an hour just to play.
EvE is based on persistence and yes changing the stats of items is the opposite of persistence but if the gear is OP then it needs to be pulled back. No respecs also discourages specing into OP gear because they know it will be nerfed - sometimes heavily - and don't want to waste SP on an item that will be less powerful.
Lastly, people do dump SP into OP gear because it is OP and we shouldn't reward people that do if for the lolz and tears it creates. The people who do this are basically cheating within the rules. They know it and we know. You keep losing me when you compare this game to Eve.
Eve is a different game with very different players. You guys that play both are few and far between. I never see any of you in game.
Are you here as ambassadors of Eve to ensure that nothing leaks over into Eve that could change it?
Start a character and go through the Academy. Watch these players. Try to strike up a conversation with them. Engage them about the choices they've made with their SP. When you see how daunting of a task they have ahead of them with even perfect allocation of SP I think you'd change your tune.
We brought in a player with 15 million SP that is spec'd into everything. He might as well have 1.5 mil SP if specialized. He is close to quitting. His mistake, not being in a corp that could have helped him with his choices. Are we so hard up for New Eden misery that we just pat these players on the back and watch them leave the game?
Are you guys so hard up that you'd rather watch throngs of veteran players leave because they are bored and would like a different path for their character?
If you don't want to give people a chance to love this game again then I think you need to just stop posting.
This game is on life support. We have people that loved this game that just simply stopped signing on. They didn't rage quit. They just started playing other stuff. I'll GUARANTEE you those players would log in for a respec.
I just can't see the potential downsides of FOTM outweighing the huge benefit of increasing the number of players. |

Reallocation would allow more players to spec into op weapons and out of normal or under powered weapons making them feel even more imbalanced. The UP weapons would be buffed and the op weapons nerfed, causing more calls foe respec and more rage.
Drop ships and HAVs were overpowered when compared to AV and were nerfed into a black hole because we all cried they were op and we got them nerfed. Now the AV is too powerful and HAVs and dropships are pretty much a joke.
Spending resources on providing repecs are detrimental to the team designing the game because they have even fewer work hours to work on the game and when people don't get one for whatever reason they get mad.
Respecs beget more respecs because they are expected to be provided because they did before and why not now or they make someone who missed it for whatever reason even more mad.
Some people don't read the forums or come her to complain so it would be an hour or so wasted reinvesting SP instead of playing. I don't get much game time because of work and the last thing I want to do is read for an hour just to play.
EvE is based on persistence and yes changing the stats of items is the opposite of persistence but if the gear is OP then it needs to be pulled back. No respecs also discourages specing into OP gear because they know it will be nerfed - sometimes heavily - and don't want to waste SP on an item that will be less powerful.
Lastly, people do dump SP into OP gear because it is OP and we shouldn't reward people that do if for the lolz and tears it creates. The people who do this are basically cheating within the rules. They know it and we know. You keep losing me when you compare this game to Eve. Eve is a different game with very different players. You guys that play both are few and far between. I never see any of you in game. Are you here as ambassadors of Eve to ensure that nothing leaks over into Eve that could change it? Start a character and go through the Academy. Watch these players. Try to strike up a conversation with them. Engage them about the choices they've made with their SP. When you see how daunting of a task they have ahead of them with even perfect allocation of SP I think you'd change your tune.

I haven't been able to play much hear lately but I usually play after downtime. Refunds will only add players for about 2 weeks because of the grind and lack of content. If the guy has 15M SP and is useless then he sucks and no SP will help. I have about 9 mil and it is not a problem if i run a squad. Refunds are not the answer, content is. |

I believe this would allow CCP to actually have more freedom to perform balance adjustments in a meaningful way.
The only issue is that the respect system really has to be automated (and that would mean coding), so that it doesn't eat up a HUGE chunk of resources in dealing with the respects by hand.
I know a lot of people want to point their fingers at Cal Logis and go "HA HA", but quite frankly there is no reason to punish players for using the resources given to them to the best of their ability. It's so important that we move forward together as a community to improve this game.
For me that means Devs communicating to the community changes that they plan BEFORE they are locked in and giving those optional respecs (character or skill specific) to allow both the developers and the community the freedom to test and find the game balance that we are all looking for. Show me logic that supports a valid reason to have SP refunded. I am going to prove you wrong so be ready. Keeping players isn't a logical reason because the game has problems that SP reallocating can't fix. Think o.0, problem is ccp keep changing stuff. You skill into something, then they change it and the karakter is not what you build anymore. So how you gonna prove that FACT is wrong You stil not proven my logic is wrong The changes are not enough to be breaking or cause damage to the intended role. I you built a suit using OP items then you know you did and it is going to hurt. If you built a fitting that was in the role provided by the suit then your game will not change much or at all as far as fittings are concerned. The characters are what you built unless you use broken OP gear. It is a fact that CCP changes things when they want and how they want but it is also a fact that they fix broken items and stay within the role the suit was designed to do. I don't have to prove that fact wrong because it already is or at most only half correct. Next.

Your statements are half truths at best. I don't have to prove you wrong because you did it for me in your post. The suit viability hasn't changed, they will be able perform their role but they will lose the ability to be what the other suits were intended to be. |

I trained shield because armor was underpowered and they added honey combing and now I want to armor tank. Ice belts can now be depleted and I have to wait four hours for a new one! Things have changed and I want my SP back. They added salvage drones and I trained a salvager module, no fair.
Wait a minute this isn't EVE, you mean I have to live with the choices I made no matter how well planned or poorly they were made? Persistent universe means nothing ever changes no matter what the problems are. We were lied to when they released the game because once it is released it cannot be changed. Ask any FPS, they know all the stats are perminant and perfect from the start. Eve is a full game noob not only that you don't have to grind noob. Also Dust is not Eve noob have a nice day dumb ass. Eve is in the title and in the same universe. Thanks for you input and showing us how post correctly. We are not connected to eve totally different games. They are just made by the same company, the comparisons end their. Keep telling yourself that dust is in the same universe lmao. Cant belive peope are really that stupid lol. Planets and other objects have the same name and refer to the same place. I can see your character while playing EVE. I can talk to you. I can email you. You can join my corporation. I can join your corporation. The battle in FW on the planet affects the control of the system. I can generate battles by playing EVE. I can shoot you from EVE. You can see the eve pilots from the ground. I can see your battle on the planet. You can request support from me. I have the ability to grant or deny support for you. The PC DUST side gives bonuses to the EVE side. The player count includes both sets of players. Things happen in real time using the same time frames. Same servers, universe, developer, type of game, theme, races, open-endedness, skill system, money, and same lore. Finally, the developers of the game says that they're connected in a few ways. There may be a few more I can't remember or don't know so chew on those troll. Because cant belive peope are really that stupid lol. If those things are not true the you are correct, there may be bugs and a low player count but that doesn't make those thing I listed not true. Thanks again for the enlightening post. By the way, I have been playing this game from the beginning, I am not a noob.
Lol pipe dreams must be nice noob i play eve this turd gives you the illusion of being connected to Eve lol. Dust is a lobby shooter made by the same company who made eve that's it end of story. All the planets are the same with diff colors lmao.
You eve tards are delusional lol.
Wake me up when get what was promised THE REAL CONNECTION TO EVE. |
