Morphs only respec

stewie_801

Is the ability to respec just your morphs still coming? The devs had mentioned it at Quakecon that they would add this in. Thought it was coming with 1.3.4 when they put the respec cost to its new normal level, but unfortunately it is not in.

I didn't see anything about this in the Dev road ahead article.

Dang, I was going to do a resec tonight on one of my characters.....

Yes, I would love to have a Morph only respec. It is real hard to tell sometimes which Morph is going to best suit a character or play style until it is used for a while.

Besides, I miss my Clanfear and hate the gargling Scamp my Sorc has to drag around now.

I haven't had time to check, but what is the new price per skill point since the update?

stewie_801

50g per sp

Now with respec costing half of its cost, I don't think there is a need to respec only morphed abilities. In fact, You don't lose any experience in the respec process, and so you can just choose whatever you had before, even do a few modifications for those unnecessary skills/passives you picked up.

I remember someone once told me, "You don't need to respec unless you aren't happy with your morphs."

Yesterday I had respec and reskill, it cost around 15+27 gold. It is acceptable.

Not the current price....

Hopefully we see it in 1.4

Sure, 50g/skill point is an improvement. But most veterans are still looking at easily 10,000g even if it's only a single morph.

Probably best would be to have it be 500g-1000g per morph that you can pick individually. This way for small tweaks you could use this but if you're changing a lot of skills you should just run a full respec. As well, it'd probably be a more effective gold sink as more people would use this to swap a morph or two more frequently than under the current system.

I have 260 skillpoints that is 13,000 gold to change one morph I think that is a bit absurd. Not to mention having to go through and reset that much just to change one morph.

Nestor

I have done a couple of repecs just to change Morphs, and then later find out that I don't have otherwise the same build as before because I did not put all the points back where they were before. I have done this both with Passives and Actives. Sure, I could write down each and every skill point before hand. But, letting me just repec the morph would be so much nicer.

Doesn't matter since they have said that single morph respecs will be in the game. If they they go back on this and they do not address the reason for that decision openly we as customers will have no freaking reason to trust anything they say anymore.

I can see your points when it comes to respeccing for one morph, especially when you have high number of skill points invested. This idea works best for fine tuning, but I doubt that's how they wanted ESO to turn into.

Skill respeccing was never officially in game in any Elder scrolls series until Dragonborn expansion in skyrim. My point is that they aren't too fond of changing builds rotating around one single morph. In case of nerfs/buffs, I agree they should reimburse us with the skills they changed, otherwise, people would just keep changing builds easily according to the meta/cookie cutter. This is where *** would hit the fan.

snorlockb16_ESO

Respec the LAST morph for 50g, otherwise you keep your build or pay 10k++

Veshal

I think the morphs should be more expensive. If you are allowed to chose a specific one, the luxury should have a disadvantage.

although you have a strong point, i would like to point out that although based on the lore and created by TES, this is an mmo, and not all ppl suffer from alt-itis.

considering that this is an mmo and not a single player game, i may want to switch one character between roles every night, because i have different builds/loadouts/morphs for pvp/pve or maybe im helping my guild by tanking during the early evenings till our tank gets on and switching to a healer build for the rest of that night.

for me personally, right now; i prefer to dps in pve as stamina spec, and dps in pvp as a dual resource spec, this means that if i want to do trials and pvp in the same day, i need to drop excessive amounts of cash on a weekly basis if i want to play the same guy and not switch toons. both by changing multiple morphs, and my attributes as well.

i also have 2 friends that i play with often. with one, my build combos with his better as a 2h/1h+shield, with the other friend, my builds combos with his better as 2h/resto staff, this is for both pve and pvp, so no matter what spec i am currently using, playing with one of two of those friends will never be at max potential at the game's respeccing current state.


in some other mmos, they allow u to have multiple builds u can switch back and forth at will between saved builds, outside of the respec issue on new/nerfed/buffed abilities, i would like to see something of this nature as well

So... any news on this?

No, they haven't responded to any of the threads on this.

Skafsgaard

Either a morph respec or as someone above said, the ability to switch between two builds. So I can PvE or whatever with one and switch to PvP buid, this is reallly needed imo and it's one of the reasons the game feels limiting and repetitive. Same ole 3 buttons you mash.

Really had a BLAST during free respec week and would prefer 1g pr point any day, simply made the game BETTER for me and my playstyle.

dodgehopper_ESO

I'd like to be able to just learn both morphs of skills that I'd like to know both morphs of. It would still cost the extra skill point for the extra morph, but would afford a lot of the utility people are looking for.

Agreed 50g per skill point for all, 20g (per character level) to untrain a morph. This way a level 10 wont be stuck with a morph as he can afford 200g, if a VR12 wants to untrain a single morph his cost would be 62 x 20 = 1240g

ThisOnePosts

My respecs on my main still cost almost 14k. That is WAY too pricey and it needs to be lowered. There should be a set price since we can't pick and choose. Maybe 3k per respec? Something along those lines would be reasonable. No one is going to want to spam respecs at that price but at least it would be fair and within reach for anyone.

Some official news on this would be nice!

In a game built around playing your way and build experimentation respecs should be encouraged, not discouraged. While it may lend itself to people swapping to the current most effective build(s);it would also encourage people to think outside of the box when it comes to builds because if it doesn't work out as well as expected you can just cheaply respec back to something you are more comfortable with.

Zarman

just let us respec specific skills already, problem solved.

bertenburnyb16_ESO

well in some situations I would like to use the other morph than in others, but I'm not gonna pay 10-15k + an hour respending all my skillpoints just to change 1 or 2 morphs for a certain game-type while having to change it back if I wanne play another game type...

the suggestion of 500-1000g to change one morph is what they should add

stewie_801

Just selected yes on an answer, since it doesn't seem like we will get a response anytime soon. Also nothing in the Road Ahead letter so who knows. Didn't want to keep it up in the unanswered questions. Think its been up long enough in it

Amylar

We need this, "respec only morph" option should be added in game soon ! Even if the cost is expensive !

khele23eb17_ESO

This definitelly needs to be added. Paying 10k to respec one morph is all sorts of wrong.

stewie_801

So I'll hop on the PTS to check the cost but in the PTS patch notes for 1.4.1 this is in there

General
You now have the option to only respec morphs. This is less expensive than a full respec of all abilities.
