I could use a respec

tripiseanb14_ESO

Well, aside from battling with all of my adons that are now broken and throwing up tons of errors, I have a real axe to grind with this new patch.

I don't mind that they changed skills, nerfed things, whatever, but, if you are going to change skills, you need to let us respec.

For example, Igneous Shield, I am a tank, and it used to give an increased damage shield. Now, instead, it increases the amount that I heal to my allies by 33%... I don't heal allies, they completely changed the skill on me! I would like to respec out of it, but at 1k per point, it would cost me 151k to respec! Outside of handing 30 dollars to a chineese gold farmer, I have no way to make that cash any time soon.

General MMO etiquette is to offer a respec when you change someone's abilities, I guess I'll go make a ticket, but that will only help me, everyone should one.

its 100 per point spent. still a lot.

they just want to force people sink time into the game. the tactic is a bit unethical if you ask me.

tripiseanb14_ESO

Wait, seriously? It's 100 per point? Oh... I could do that...

BUT, STILL! The principal of the matter is the same, I should have to, they cant just pull the rug out from under us like that.

The Shrine's in each Factions level 2 area offers a Respec at 100 gold per skill point. Each point is given back.

You aren't owed a free Respec. I wasn't given one and I don't want everyone else to be given one either.

You don't think they should pay for your respec if they go in and change up your skills on you? I mean, they completely changed my skill from giving myself a damage shield to increasing the amount that I heal other people...

Your counter-point lacks in critical reasoning. Let's breakdown the argument at hand, and explain why your point is really dumb.

For:
- Overhaul to skills is unforeseen by a player before making an investment
- therefore necessitates a need for respec
- respec is very costly to the player
- is ethically unfair upon the player, as they had no way of predicting the future

Against:
- No, just because.
- I didn't get one.

I want one of those Shrine of Stendarr frequent visitor cards. Get your card punched when you get a respec. Buy 5 respecs get the next one free. I've been there too many times due to broken skills and passives

Yeah - a free respec would be more than reasonable after making so many drastic changes to the skills. And if Zeni had any sense at, all they would have done it, but you know, sensible behavior is not something one expects from them.

Had to respec my char, cost 20k, then as I was re-allocating the points, I noted that had I made a mistake and took the wrong morph, and had to respec for 10k more... So yesterday was not a cheap day at all. Bank went down from just shy of 50k to less than 20k... Not happy about that.

A far more sensible option would be letting us respec morphs for 1k or so. That would make things so much better and then I wouldn't have to spend hours upon hours reading forum posts for advice as to which morph to take. I could just select the one that sounds more interesting and experiment with it, and if I would find it to not suit my style, I could go and flip it to the other morph.

Now morphing is a dreadful chore, where I have to spend inconsiderate amount of time doing research and not playing the game, so as to try to avoid making really bad choices.

What I really would love is the ability to have both morphs available for skills. Some morphs radically alter the baseline skill and thus suit to totally different play styles. If I had been designing this game, I would have added a VR rank benefit of variable morphs, so that for every VR rank you gain, you can select one skill that you will master both morphs for, and then can switch between them when not in combat.

Most mmo's will just remove the point from your skill tree on the skill that they changed if they feel it is a big enough deal (or that people will make a big enough deal out of it) so you can choose to spec away from it or change a morph or whatever.

TESO needs to start doing this at the very least. I can understand not giving everyone a big fat entire respec since thats one of the few gold sinks in the game that you will probably do more then once.

Or they need to change the system so it does let you remove stuff one point or one skill at a time for the 100 per, instead of forcing an all or nothing scenario.

+1 need a respec also freaking hell
