Can we please get a free respec with the new patch?

There's going to be so many new changes this patch, some abilities are getting completely reworked.

I can't believe people even complained about getting a free respec a while back, what a *** joke. It only takes like 5-10 minutes to choose all your skills.

I remember some people complaining that they "couldn't remember where they allocated their skill points" and were "furious" to have been given a FREE respec. If you don't have a basic idea of where you allocated your points then you need to get yourself checked out.

    Yeah I'm hoping they do the reset too. Majority of us will have to respec anyway with all those changes

    The huge amout of crying over the last reset probably killed it for the rest of us forever. Especially now that respecs are potential crown store revenue.

    With Orsinium, I understood that htere are not enough skill changes to justify respec, but this time it's completely different, there should be one. I don't care how they deal with complainers, that's not my problem. I'm just saying there should be respec and the way how to do it is up to ZOS.

    When they make the amount of changes they are making to skills there should definitely be a free skill re spec, if they don't it looks like they know most players will have to turn to the Crown store to spend crowns on a re spec scroll. I know they want to make money but come on

    A respec is necessary, it's a joke if they don't give one.
    And the fact that they listen to whiners who don't want it, it's even worse.

    Why would most players have to do that? They may choose to do so, but the option to pay in-game for the respec is there if they prefer to do it that way. The only really disadvantaged players are those new to the game who haven't yet reached a respec shrine, and those taking a break from the game who miss the need to note down their existing specs and log in some time later to find themselves forced to work out a full respec before they even know what's hit them.

    I'd personally favour a respec token, I'm wholly against forced respecs on login, especially as every time there's ever been a respec in any MMO I've played I've always ended up simply re-applying the old skills without the need for change and across a dozen characters that becomes a pain.

    However, Gina has made it clear that although there are currently no plans for a respec, if there is one it will be by way of a forced respec on login. I can appreciate that it's an important point for some competitive players who need to respec to the latest and best build but personally I hope it doesn't happen. If any of my characters do need a respec then I'll sort them out individually.

    Give players the choice. I know some people would really like to respec and I know it would drive me slightly mad.

    A token or free respecs for a week or some way that doesn't apply it automatically to everyone would be my preferred option.

    But who are the whiners? The ones complaining about a forced respec or the ones demanding it ;)?

    They've made their decision, they should stick with it. That's the way to run a MMO.

    The more reasonable thing to do would be to lower respec cost significantly for a week or two after the patch hits... that way those that need/want to can conveniently try out things while those happy as is wont be bothered to redo everything.

    Personally, I have 5 VR16 (almost 6) which might all need a full respec... that's another what... 100k or so down the toilet. Because Z chooses to shift things around. Again. Not cool.

    I remember back when they made some major changes not long after it first came out, they greatly reduced the respec cost at the shrine temporarily.

    That's what I think they should do, if they're not going to give out free respecs. Make the cost to respec dirt cheap for a week or two so people can figure out their new set up.

    It's good to know that they have done this in the past. They should definitely do it again for the next one as there are a lot of changes.

    The only *actual* reason they will no longer give free respecs is because respecs are now a crown store commodity and they know some people with low gold stored will purchase this item in the crown store.

    The stated reason regarding player complaints is just a smokescreen. Otherwise they would at least be lowering the gold cost to respect for a week or so.

    How about we get in our mail box a bind on pickup respec scroll? That would t force a respec; maybe make it expire after a period of not used?

    Eh... whatever. I've learned the hard way that it's much better to just enjoy playing than worry about what is free or not.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
