CCP, you once said you would not re-spec unless there was a major **** up, truth is, there's been a major **** up that ya'll seem to be ignoring. You change the skills whenever you feel like, in addition you're also planning on an "overhaul" for vehicles, chances are you're probably going to **** of Vehicle and Anti Vehicle players alike (One must assume the worst when dealing with CCP).
Personally, I'll persist with HAVs, even if a re-spec comes around, because despite the nuisances I find great enjoyment in the vehicle side of the game, and I mean, how much worse can it get for a Vehicle player? (Don't answer that, seriously, don't give them ideas.) I have all my skills in the right places and my character will just keep getting better and better.
But for other players, especially narrow minded ones, they've gotten themselves into a situation where their playstyle is obsolete because the options YOU offered them changed after they'd spec'd into them. Take KingBabar for example, I've squaded with him previously, he is the closest you can get to an Assault Logi player, always slaying and running support putting Killers and Supports to shame, he chose the option of going Callogi, yes a bad move overall but the numbers were solid when he started doing it.
Now the numbers have changed, along with the required play style, we can argue that they're being punished for using the FOTM, but is that fair? With such little information coming to the players, many don't take the view I do (Assume the worst) and hope for the best, so they run the numbers and if it works out, they go with it, really they're being punished for being smarter than average players.
A re-spec needs to happen, yes, but not right now. CCP I understand you want to have years of expansion in DUST, so I'm not going to say you need to re-spec every expansion, what you need to do is perfect the basic balance of the weapons and suits. With the Vehicles you need to have the Prototype hulls available (not the variants).
Focus on the core balance, once that's in place offer a re-spec to every player, and none of this "Message support" **** either, because you're alienating a large portion of your playerbase who don't get on the forums to read every announcement you post.
Every expansion will have changes, if you introduce a weapon or vehicle and it doesn't work out, remove it and refund the SP until the **** is balanced. I don't really care too much if EVE players come here and ***** about how the had to suffer through nerfs and buffs without a re-spec, that's your fault EVE players, you didn't complain, you didn't try, so instead of bitching about it now, try a little. |

Oh and: NO
Rehashing of old arguments?
I haven't demanded a re-spec right now because I ****** up in anyways, I'm asking to have the suits for each race, available, each basic vehicle and they're advanced and prototype levels, without bothering with the additional variants for now, possibly having a rifle for each race also (Rail, Assault, Scrambler, othernamehere). Make it balanced with each other so that when we add new items they can be adjusted according to the universal balance already in play.
Then offer a re-spec to all players, not just those on the forums, because nobody will be able to argue in the future that their weapon is not balanced, because we spent months testing and balancing said weapon with the others and it was perfectly fine. |

At the end of the day the Calogi will either be brought back inline, which is fair correct? You know even playing field.
Or its going to be worse than the other suits, which well 'SUCKS TO BE YOU!' says the currently grossly underpowered Amarr Logi.
No suit should be better or worse than another. Which makes this respec thing a non arguement.
If the people who have been padding their stats for the last 2 months running the FOTM suit then now its their turn to show us 'how good they really are' by playing and doing their job with a suit thats not god mode.
Id be pissed if my suit got nerfed. But ive had enough experiance with MMO's, if something is too good to be true then it probably is, and will get nerfed into the ground.
Sigh.
Would it not be fairer to bring every thing in line, balanced and effective, and then offer a re-spec so you can choose what you want to be rather than you chose this suit, you're stuck with it despite it being good previously? It's not just aimed at the callogi suit (personally never used it.) It's the same with Vehicles, Maybe I want to be a Minmatar Tanker rather than a Caldari Tanker, is it fair I don't get that racial option?
Again, the same with heavies, maybe I want to be a Caldari Heavy, but I am stuck with Amarr. Would it not be fairer to announce a re-spec for when they've got the basic things in and then no more re-specs from that point? |

That is what asking for a respec is like. Just because its 'little' uncomfortable you want to have it completely different.
It's nothing like what you've suggested, see my post above yours. It's not like having it hot a little bit and someone cranking up the A/C, it's like it being really hot but not having any A/C at all. ^_^ |
