I have basically stopped playing the game, and doing videos. The whole experience has been a waste of many moons of grinding SP.
This community I have found out is not who you know but who you blow.... Too many "big chiefs" running around with titles that I NEVER NEVER see in the game, yet represent out best interests.....
I do not believe the forums are even related to the actual game anymore, or the interest of the daily player |

I still get on perhaps 1-2 hr per week vs the 40+ hrs a weeks I was sinking into the game. I have not and will not spend anymore money on boosters or anything like that, and have not for awhile now. |

Damn.. I threw 40 + hrs a week out there like it is NOTHING... haha. I have a new game I have been playing that treats my time spent grinding much better. So it would be unfair of me to say it is CCP's fault that I have not played as much.
A few things such as how the CPM was chosen, being how they was the ones supposed to represent us, and I know at least one of them could not even hold a full time job let alone represent a army of nerds. I have seen favoritism for people not that I myself wanted anything yet only for my voice and opinion to be equal to that of the next mans.
Perhaps I will finally break down and do a final video where I just let it all rip and I can get flamed for being mean and for lying on people.
After all DUST 514 made my channel, before dust I had 300 friends, but I am comfortable with losing all if it means me speaking my mind and my truth....
I am done ranting, you guys take care... |

Then why are you hanging out with a corp that doesn't appreciate what you bring to the table?
Then why are you wasting your energy asking for a respec instead of asking for balance to include missing items? Are these serious questions or troll?
That is one of the people that was chosen to represent you and your ideas...no offense |

He would be more popular with me if hed post up his oppinion on respecs or some meaningful news in this thread
If it puts a position in jeopardy, it will not likely happen. He seems like a cool dude, but looking at the respect debate as if it is BS, nothing, will go away, or as a matter that is not serious, is not the way to approach the topic.

That is what will destroy the game, you'll go from a myriad selection of suits, guns, and vehicles to one of each, kitted out exactly the same. Unless you want to outright lose every fight you're in since every time the balance changes, the majority of the game switches to whatever's OP. You can only dodge so many flaylock shots. I disagree, whole heartedly. I believe CCP should take a chance, if you are correct they will know within a month and change it back no harm done. If you are incorrect we could have a phenomenal new game on our hands. no they won't. they are already getting HUGE backlash and people demanding respecs right now over putting one suit and gun in line. Imagine the shitstorm if they took out a month's worth of SP in a rollback? And it's human nature to want to win. that doesn't change. It's why I know that so much of the playerbase will flock to the statistical "best" items and fits in the game.
75% of the game including myself already runs the FOTM... the OP AR
so what does it matter if they get a respect for THEIR time invested.... They didn't ask for a NERF.. or give them back what they invested in, whatever it may be. |

Allowing for unlimited respecs just means most people will put all their points into something that's 'optimal' for each rebalancing CCP does, which kills diversity in the game.
1.0 -> Cal logi TAR
1.1 -> Cal logi flaylock
1.2 -> Cal logi .......
What can players do to avoid feeling they've been screwed over? Well, spec into something that you find fun to play with. Don't specialize too much into one role, unless you really really really enjoy that role, otherwise you'll be shooting yourself in that role.
My 2 cents How do you know you enjoy the role if you are a new player... how do you know you will enjoy the role in 6 months or even 1 month?

1) after the last respec, they were pretty fair in telling us that things are still changing and to invest wisely because there will not be another.
2) this game will constantly evolve, it will never be fully balanced...
why??
because when it finally starts getting fully balanced, CCP will add a new dynamic whether it comes in the version of a skill or the version of a weapon... and this will all start up again about how people should get a rebalance.
3) choose your skills solely on what YOU like to to not on what is the best at the time that you can get the best k/d with... that way, even nerfed, you still have fun and know that sooner or later you will be back on top when a new game dynamic is added or a new balance is brought.
its like the huge amount of people that dumped SP into the flaylock, most of them didnt choose the flaylock because they thought it would fit their playstyle, they dumped huge amounts of SP into to benefit their k/d...
so far, this id from observation, the only people who really care about respec from a 1st hand perspective, are those who chose to dump SP in a fitting solely to increase their k/d... those who dropped SP into what they like to do i.e. minnie logi, dropships, shotty scouts, etc dont seem to have a problem
so... did you? or those whom you speak of really invest the SP into the gear and equipment that fits their individual play style? or did they just choose the most powerful at the time?
and this time, they would have learned the nature of CCP and how dynamics and mechanics of a CCP game will change and evolve constantly... yet they still invested 15 mil sp?
also just a side note. i still have yet to see a class that, as a whole, is underpowered or sucks That is a very easy question to answer, some people only enjoy the most OP class in the game. Others, like myself, enjoy every balanced class in the game because i am (we are) good enough to get the class to work and destroy everyone in the game, no matter what class/fit were using... as long as its balanced. When our classes that we are now, currently balanced, are nerfed the next day to uselessness we dont want to play dust at all anymore because there is simply no recovering that 15 mill SP we invested into something that we did once enjoy. We need the ability to get out of the shiet storm we are put in and play /something/ that we enjoy. Yeah, we cant play our favorite nerfed class but there are other classes out there that we can enjoy and compete in
I think the approach people are taking on this subject is backwards. People are upset with people wanting a respect, but are not upset that CCP made the things OP in the first place, knowing that mass amounts of people will spec into them. Than when the items get nerfed... laugh and taunt the people that invested countless hours into a game. If the nerf came a week after the mistakes was made, that would had been cool, but they wait MONTHS and base their NERFS on QQing...... |

My 2 cents How do you know you enjoy the role if you are a new player... how do you know you will enjoy the role in 6 months or even 1 month? this If you spread out your SP into even 2 classes you are not mono tasking. You will not be in any serious involvement in dust and the best corps will not talk to you other than the i killed you mails they send. The DEVs encourage mono specing and becoming very efficent in one class so you can contribute to a team. If you spread out your sp, you are nothing. Mono specing is how dust is supposed to be played and is how corps are seccessful, because they are a collection of players who mono speced into a class who work together to contribute their specific roles as a team. If you can do everything, but are not particulary good at anything, you are a bad player. Sadly, of late, the good players who mono speced like they should be doing, have been getting nerfed so they are just as bad and worthless
You are right... and one of the main pitches for the game was.... Design YOUR suite how you WANT... not based around nerfs.
Until balance is created... which balance can INDEED be created, than the option to get a full or partial respect should be available to those that a nerf hammer has affected. |
