2/3 Specialization

[CrazyMike]

This is what happens when some people take 4 lines from IRC and turn it into a witch hunt. And they wonder why the devs stopped telling us anything about the game until they were sure it was going into the game...

indeed, rather stupid how we have such concerns over a cule of lines in an IRC chap, but thats life i spose.....

we shall just have to wait and see, as hamma says the devs are puttin alot of work into making the game balanced, so im sure t will be fair.

I trust you Hamma and the Dev team cause they are uber |337 and pretty much control our brains... Oh and you probably still won't see too many jack of all trades just because some roles are going to be more fun than others for certain people. To put it in simpler terms, Bob likes to drive a Galaxy. Bob has many more certs but he rarely uses them. Therefore, Bob would be specialized as a pilot. What I'm trying to get at is that there won't be many people that are going to want to do everything. Maybe at first but once they know what they want to do, they will probably stick to one specialized field.

One of the points a lot of people seem to be missing is that personal inventory space will not allow you to do all the the things you might have certs for at the same time. In the service, you qualify to fire serveral different weapons, but you can't walk into battle carrying an m16, m60, law, anti-personal mine, etc all at the same time! You pick and manage your loadout based upon the task you plan to achieve. Between weapons, ammo, etc.. there just is not space to be a Jack-of-all-trades in the field. With 2/3 of the certs, you can be versitile at choosing your task at the base, but once you pick your loadout and hit the battle field - you are no different than the guy that has less certs in the field.

I agree with this for the most part. My statement was just taken out of context and misunderstood. Ive tried my best to explain it not that big of an issue, and also mentioned to the devs that that thread exists so they can help put out the fire I created. hehehe

An example would be having a Mosquito and a Reaver cert, then dropping the Mosquito cert. Would you lose the ability to fly a Reaver?

There'd be no point in making Mosquito a prerequisite of the Reaver if it were possible to use a Reaver when you unlearn Mosquito.
