Skill respec costs

ninibini

With previous updates that changed lots of skills we usually got a week or so of reduced skill respec costs.

This update changed a lot of skills, so it would be nice if we could get that again @ZOS_GinaBruno

What? They didn't? Shameful...

Skill respecs are set to zero gold for this week, until August 19. Just added this to the patch notes for clarity as well.

This is untrue. I just paid 18k gold to respec skills on my stamblade.

That doesn't sound good.

Where are you currently looking that shows it costs gold?

@ZOS_GinaBruno I used respec station in wayrest and it cost usual gold, unless it is visual error, i did not check when i was online

Would have been cool if this had been done with the patch and not after. While it's changed for me now, most of us who logged in and went to work directly after the patch still had to pay.

Just to confirm, you're going to the skill respec station and not the attribute station?

For anyone running into this issue, please submit a ticket with support so we can further troubleshoot. From everything we're seeing on our end, skill respecs specifically currently cost zero gold and have been since the update launched today.

@ZOS_GinaBruno I can 100% guarantee you that it did NOT hit with the patch. It was in fact a big talking point within my group of friends that we were confused by the lack of any free respec option. Only when a few friends came on 1-2 hours later and talked about it being free, did the early birds among us find out it had changed.

There are a number of things that do not match the published patch notes as well as several changes made on the PTS in .3 or .4 that have reverted to the .1 version on release. It would appear tha some mistakes have been made, but they mostly seem to be unhelpful ones so I doubt we’ll see a hotfix [/cynicism]

Ok, we just confirmed the skill respec cost change didn't actually go live until 10am EDT, and the update went live at 8:20am EDT. We've made some updates to ensure this doesn't happen again in the future. If you respec'd prior to 10am and spent gold, please submit a ticket with Support and we'll see what we can do to help.

Thanks, Gina, for looking into it and getting back to us. It just seemed like some sort of timing hiccup. Looks like the patch just finished early instead of at 10:00. Thanks for everything you do.

This is a wonderful idea - given the changes, it is very helpful for the number of morph respecs I'm looking at across a number of characters.

True, I can re-spec several characters who were low on skyshard count to crafters for free.

Awesome, they usually don't include respec cost reductions, or at least they haven't in the past which was bothersome to me. However, when I consider how many items we get during events and daily rewards, it's really not all that much money. But, I'm not gonna turn it down, either...

edit: I'm still retired, though... until you guys fix those audio issues.

Yes, they have, but not every time they make a change that totally destroys a build I would agree.

Looks like my lobbying was fruitful ... thanks again ZOS!
