You play a properly balanced, fair and fun class. Liking the class, you dump all 15 mill SP to your name into the class. Suddenly, new build/patch comes around and your class is nerfed without your consent and you now suck at the game. You spawn in your proto suit or your vehical and you are killed over and over, loosing all your ISK. You are told you can not play PC because the one class you are good at, sucks. Nobody wants you in any serious endeavor in dust because your class is nerfed to the point of uselessness. Like current shield tanks, dropships, lazers, plasma cannons and soon to be armor tanks when they fix the bug that is causing them to be balanced. You no longer want to play dust, as the class you played is ruined and so is your ability to enjoy playing dust, because the developers ruined the class you speced into. CCP later anounes that they will not be fixing your class for many months and they ask you to accept their most sincere apologies, despite changing the class that you speced into many months beforehand. Should you get a respec? This happened to the classes mentioned previously and will happen again when the fix the armor tanks

That wont help those screwed over right now or for the next 2 years (ish)

Were always going to have a cap, no matter what and we should. But you would care if you suddenly suck at the game because what you skilled into get nerfed into unreasonable levels. Then a respec would be appropriate

Sadly. a motivator in why i stand up to the haters, speds, Devs and derps who vote against respecs. Because iknow first hand what its like to invest time and SP into a class and have it ruined due to balancing. I would gladly respec if i could, to have a fighting chance and be useful again but i cant becuase im doomed to play the mistake CCP gave me. Myslef and others

Yes those evil caldari logis should pay for their sins!

LOLOL +1 so hard

What if some people spec'd into it, wanting a shield tanked logistics, knowing full well the shield buff was probably going to be removed, but then are forced to deal with -40 base CPU. They tried to predict CCPs nerfs and failed. Now they have to pay for it. Running a logi class that might not be suited to what they intended from the get go?

Saying oh they have 9 slots stfu and gtfo is the reasonable answer?

Honestly, after they fix armor, min logi and gal logi will be the much better choice, and many of those guys who picked cal logi to logi with shields would probably have picked min... Now they just have to live with it... I think its ****** personally.

I actually think the CPU nerf is probably perfect for balance. But it's not what people bought with their 10 weeks of SP.

Hopefully we can see a respec for logis in 1.4, once they redone bonuses. Cause sounds like the changes are drastic.

"Don't play with that, it'll get nerfed", shouldn't be a required line of thinking when judging what to skill into.

It's the same song and dance for anything that gets nerfed in this game though, you know?

It's the reason I'm advocating respecs on changes... So people can adapt to nerfs/buffs CCP implements. I have no personal agenda here.

It's a huge black mark for any new content, if players have to constantly worry about trying new toys which might be broken for their trouble. It's a whole lot of forbidden fruit nonsense which only stigmatizes player experimentation. New content is going to keep the game alive, having to worry about booty traps within said new content is going to drive players away.

Lol you support it for HIS case but not everybody elses... WHAT A SURPRISE! A "NF" supporting a "NF"! I would never think of this to happen! What a joke.

Vethosis has a thread that lists pro posters and is regularly updated. And it's still CCPs game, not ours. I don't see why a poll, let alone one that only includes forum posters, should have any bearing on their busines and product development decisions.

The solution is to live with it.

If your choices lack permanence, then they are meaningless. Notably you got this whole thing entirely ****ing wrong last time. I said it to mean that you should have to live with the choice you made. Permanently. If your choices aren't permanent, then they are meaningless. this does not mean that balance should be locked and stagnant. it means your choices, once locked in should be unchangeable. so you specced into something that was obviously OP and headed for nerf-city, full steam ahead? Now try to spec into something you actually like.

work your core skills and spec into a facsimile of what you want. then when you know it's coming out, stockpile your resources for a bit beforehand and immediately proto it.

yup... just like the EVE players had to do for 10 years...

works for me.... just asked most of the channels im in... majority said they dont mind it... sooo... we will miss those who quit... and will see you after BF4 gets old

No you do not sir, post the videos up and you will see me as a scout shotty P: because i dumped another 2 mill SP into that poor excuse of a tank and then i started specing into heavy so i could have a hardy fit to protect my tank were it was needed. sence then ive been skilling back into scout and i jus now got my proto basic suit with a few core skills. If i could respec i would get out of this half track and play a class i enjoy and effectively compete in. Same for many other ppl

Exmaple.

Doesn't matter now. OMS was removed from the queue this morning.

This game is officially dying.

Jump ship dude, I hear there are still a few lifeboats left over that way ~~~> they lead to the ps4

I have not seen anyone in SVER be told they can't play because of the 'uselessness' of their chosen class and/or weapon in PC. I've seen Scouts, Snipers, Assaults, Heavies, Logis, Tanks, Logi Lavs, Dropships, Snipers all play parts in various strategies for various maps in PC.
It sounds like someone is lacking some strategical vision, or you just aren't as good as your FC would like you to be.

Cry me a river.....

"Oh damn, me not OP anymore and need to learn back how to play without stomping everyone."

What has been so hardly nerfed lately ? And i mean, like in 1.2/1.3 that you cant even go into PC fights ?
