Would the game be broken if attributes were fixed-value and remaps were removed?


Remaps have only recently been added. And while the attributes weren't a fixed value before, there was certainly not much choice in the narrow band that was available.

No one liked it and you can find hundreds of threads if you search the old forums.

For me personally I'd be fine with the equivalent to a 20 point per attribute average fixed and implants still available. The small advantage of remaps compared to the complexity to code it and keep it from breaking every time they update is a waste, in my my opinion. The game would be better off without remaps and with fixed attributes in the long run.

Do it now CCP.


Oh how I'd love to respec skills.


Every other MMO I have played has introduced this at some point. There is no reason not to do so in Eve. Sadly some people are just too scared of change and see it as making the game too easy for others, rather than just STFU and focus on the positive benefits for themselves. Sad.



And every game that uses this is impossible to keep balanced when you end up with infinite knockdown pikeman, mind shot bounty hunters, 5 ret paladins, everyone remembers falcons, flavor of the month happens because of change. Making it easier for people to exploit flavors makes everything the same and stagnant. The reason I love eve is because as cookie cutter as it gets you risk it being bad once you get there. Why do you want eve to be like every other mmo anyways?

I've never seen a truly balanced game yet.

Proposed, thought about and not going to be implemented any time soon as far as I know.
