Respec Gold cost elimination/reduction

Teevesnacks

I would like to see the cost be reduced to 10g per skill point, I am constantly changing my playstyle to try out new combinations but it's becoming painful at 16k+ per respec /cry

This whole additude that the "risk" in doing certain things, like combat, in this case is to simply play for a repair AT ANY MERCHANT, starting to annoy me. You don't even have to travel to a specific NPC that can repair you.

Also, as previous stated, it wasn't 100% that you would even be allowed to repair your gear. That the only option was replacing it.

Add to that, the repair cost is something every player can afford, at least those who plays the game and just not sit here and write whinings along with me.

Be glad that you can repair and that's ALL.

There been several ideas what happens when you die (Bad thing to die right). Loose exp, Some kind of resurection debuff. Think I even saw someone suggesting a wait time when you die. Cant recall the time but 10 mins to 1 hour.

I'd say that Zenimax made a good compremise. Enough gold per level to be able to repair, but it stings, so you actually try NOT to die.

It's not uncommon in several games that people dies by choice, to get a closer trip somewhere or something......HELLO??!? MMORPG.....Not super mario Bros.

Dying has nothing to do with gear taking damage. Your gear takes damage whenever you gain XP, which is ludicrous.

It should cost 10g per skill the first time you use the shrine, then 20g, then 40g, 80g, 120g, etc.

The price should reset back to 10g per skill every week, or after X amount of days since last using the shrine. Or maybe every day the price halves until it reaches 10g again. Really, almost any system other than the one we have now would be preferable.

You should also be able to reset individual skills for a higher cost. Say, 100g per skill, with the price doubling for subsequent uses per skill (e.g., resetting Blood Craze would cost 100g, resetting Venom Arrow would also cost 100g, and resetting Blood Craze again in the same day would cost 200g, etc.).

I don't agree with a scaling gold cost either. It not only discourages experimentation, but it also will punish players who have been with the game longer and worked through several changes in the meta.

I don't mind the cost, I wouldn't even mind if it increased... as long as it's applied to the exact skills that you want to refund, not *everything* on your Skills tab.

Please be active on this post so we can get this changed.

Hopefully active to not get it changed. Terrible idea.
I do think a free respec should be given at lvl 20, 40 and
50. And maybe once or twice in veteran ranks but the actual respec cost outside of that
should stay. There are 300 points in total you can get, meaning you can level various weapon trees.
And they didnt falsely advertise, you CAN at any time pick up ANY weapon and play with it.

Maybe they should make it possible to reset a specific point once a week for 5-10k. Thats fair, as the whole system is pretty fair i think. There are plenty of points waiting for you to be catched up.

So you guys are all happy that you can't change your morphs when you jump from PvE to PvP and vice versa?

You don't mind having an optimal build for one game mode and a gimped build for another?

I'm fine with the cost to respec skill points & attributes, but I find it absolutely ridiculous that you can't swap around your morphs. At the very least there should be another shrine for morph resets, but even this option would send me broke.

I'm now holding out until I hit VR10 until I play PvP simply because I'm not forking out a fortune to change a few morphs so my build is optimised for PvP.

I understand we need gold sinks, but this will eventually turn me off the game. It's lazy design in my honest opinion.

Even for pve the morphs make a huge difference, its almost impossible to maximize tanking and dps both on the same char, which is how it should be.
One solution would be to have earnable respecs as DAoC did with the dragon.
I dislike the ides of beeing able to freely respec anytime you like as it renders decisions meaningless and may cause the games appeal to suffer over time.
