Respec costs not temporarily reduced?

MaxWipes

I was sure that we would be giving a hefty discount on respec costs for the first week. ZOS has done this for us before - but its at 50g per point (both attribute and skill) after the update. What gives? Can we please get it down so we can adjust builds for a few days?

I think they just gave us a free respec instead. They probably figure that update 6 has been so hyped that everyone was on the PTS or has been haunting the internet for skill build ideas for weeks...

Past updates gave us the "free" automatic respec upon log in, but also a reduced fee to respec for the first week.

I agree with the OP. They did it after 1.3 or 1.4 (can't remember which) and it was very much appreciated I think a lot of people are going to want to play around with new builds on live and it would be awesome if they could temporarily reduce the price of the respec. I'm very grateful for the automatic reset, though.

Most players probably never got on PTS and so much of the PTS testing is hard to generalize because of the numbers of CP that people played around with, which they wont have on live for weeks or months.

I had that thought there would be a period of cheap respecs to help people experiment and relearn their characters since so much has changed. I think that would be a good idea. I think a couple of weeks would be a good idea.

no reduce costs. they did the cheap one when they changed the respec costs as it was way to high. So I remember once and that was update 4 a long long time ago.
It would be nice if you got cheap respec but it doesn't look like that is going to happen atm.
So read the new info well, the stamina or magica choise is a big one.

I know I never got on PTS. I don't have the space for it. I agree that some cheaper respecs would be nice, especially with all of these changes. I don't think anyone is going to get their points in the right spots on the first shot. Also it would be nice if we could do up all our points and then set them...cuz I know sometimes I accidentally put a point into something I didn't mean to and essentially lose that point till I respec again. I CAN"T BE THE ONLY ONE!

I approve of this thread (especially since I wrote one very similar earlier today & got flamed for it).

We should get a week or two of cheap/free respecs with this kind of update. I know for sure I am going to want to change things when I am slapped in the face by the reality of the game.
