Respecs Wanted!

A respec was not given out with version 1.5, but we are still discussing if we're able to give one out to Spies (as they were affected most with the last patch). We are investigating what it will entail to do this, so please stay tuned for updates.

In our next publish (version 1.6), we are making some exciting changes that will allow players to fairly easily respec their characters. We will be removing the current Control Point mission rewards, which are simply Crafting recipes, and replacing them with Respec Tokens that can be purchased and used. One kind of Respec Token will reset your character’s attributes, and a second kind will reset your character’s skills. These will be available to characters of all levels, and will require a reasonably small amount of time attacking and defending control points in order to purchase the Respec Tokens.

We want to encourage players to experiment with different skill, ability, and attribute combinations. We want to make sure everyone will be able to easily adjust to ongoing improvements we make to skills and abilities for all classes, and adding an easy respec mechanism is a great way to do that!

I can't believe it took them this long to accept that cloning shouldn't be the only way to respec. We've been yelling about that since beta.

I guess everything happens eventually?

Yay, no more having to rename your main, cause you messed up his attributes or skills and could'nt wait for a respec.

*waits impatiently for 1.6*

In all fairness there wasn't a concerted public outcry until 1.5 hit and changed several skills without giving folk the opportunity to respec. At that point the community just went absolutely nuts.

On a side not, 1.6 is the earliest that i've predicted PAUs coming in, lets also hope that they manage to finally work out some LoS changes for the snipers who have hung up the torque in favor of a chaingun...

Respec tokens... Neat. I guess, once they exist, they will be the best seller on the MS.

Looking forward to it.

Though, I'm usually not so much into experimenting. I just use what I think will work well after reading through the descriptions.

Oh I can pretty much garuantee they are going to be no trade items.

Awwwwww... Imagine all the money one could make!

Except me, I usually don't do crafting.

I would not be so sure about the non tradeable. I thought the same for the black armor paint, but it was tradeable.

Don't know what prices they bring at the MS, but I have a load of them in my locker.

But if the requirements for getting the tokens will be the same as for getting the modifications now, I don't think you will get much credits for them. 25 defense or attack tokens are easy to get.

I am not so sure if I like this way so much. That makes respeccing far too easy (unless the requirements of attack/defense tokens to trade for the respec tokens gets raised).
Some kind of spending up a clone credit for respec would have been fine, I think. On your way to 50 you should be able to get enough clone credits to use some to respec your char.

But I do like it that you can respec your character now without having to wait for a patch that resets your attributes. That is one thing, I was also hoping to come.
