Free weekly skill reset

So I think skill resets cost gold to prevent people from willy-nilly changing their spec for every dungeon....


With that premise in mind I think increasing the cost of respec to the old cost but giving a free one that has a 7 day cool down allows players to play how they want (and further discourages abuse)


Don't like 7 days? Pick a better number just seems good point to me but I could see anything from 8 hours to 30 days being appropriate.


What do you think?

    Resetting morphs is pretty cheap already; I feel like that is good enough.

    I'd like it. I don't respect for dungeons but being it's a relatively new game on PS4 I try different builds. I'm level 30 on my main and I've probably respect'd 10 times already.

    Of course not having an add on to tell me what my damage is it's probably all for naught.

    I still want a Option to reset just 1 Morph..............

    Dont you hate it when you reskill all 300 Points and at the end you missklick on on of the Mainskill you use :(

    Or even better, a System like Cps, where you have to klick yes to make the final change

    I disagree. This isn't like other games where you have x number of points and spend them in a skill tree and that's your build. This game allows you to have enough skill points where it's possible to have multiple builds at once along with multiple crafts.

    The only time I can see this being necessary is if you don't have enough skill points (so go get those skyshards and do those quests) or you flip flop between wanting to run a stamina build and a magica build.

    I personally DPS and tank and only need to swap a couple skills to do so along with a couple pieces of gear. On top of that I've mastered three crafting professions and have skill points in reserve.

    Doing a respec for me takes a bit of time and should be an investment in gold as well as it's not something which would need to be done often.

    That's the thing, I've been Magicka build to Stam build back to Majicka to Mixed to Stam etc to all health. Plus going for Bow to Desro to 2H etc, wasted points so you want to respect.

    I have to agree with @Elijah_Crow , too easy to run multiple builds at max. My NB has 2 main setups with variation to all and 3/6 crafts. Templar is the same and still has 50 free points.

    It's harder when you're not at Max where we don't have 50 free points.

    Having the ability to try different things is good, but ultimately you need to decide what kind of character you are and what skills you want available. This system is not designed so that you can be everything all the time. Start with deciding on Magica and stamina for your build and 90% of the issue is gone. You aren't supposed to have access to every possible build of your class at any moments notice.

    I have to agree as well, the game offers more then enough skill points to be had to go wild. And its each players decision if they spend it - unless you have your heart set on mastering ALL the craftings on one character, you'll likely find more then enough skill points to do mutliple setups.

    I really see no reason for the skill respec to cost any less then it does now... not like the game has much in the way of endgame gold sinks anyhow, so by that time the cost is not realy noteworthy...

    In addition, I found it easier while leveling to just go out and get more skyshards when I wanted to try something new instead of resetting. The cost kind of encouraged me to go this route and keep moving forward instead of heading back to the shrine. I think I only reset 2 times before VR2 and that was after trying weapons and deciding I would never use them again.

    the ability to unspend individual skill points would probably be more useful to me

    i'd like to be able to switch from bow to staff, without having to re-spend all my class skill points, 2H, dual wield and professions.

    or just be able to switch a single morph quickly and easily, even if it cost me double to do it 1 skill point at a time.

    Yeh I'd be more inclined to go with a single skill and morph reset.

    I know but I hate seeing 20 points in Stamina when I change to a staff. Plus sometimes I get bored with a guy or just want to try something different. The good thing is my skills are high with all weapons. In any event I don't use my gold for anything else so what the heck..

    This i agree with.

    IF i dont want to respec my full build just one skill one i should be able too. Respecing does not cost that much. and you can go from level 1 to 50 just spaming 1 ability.

    I think what would really help this game would be Duel Spec.

    Why would they give you something for free when they can put a respec token on the cash store for a few bucks.

    And I guarantee they will.

    Either way, the respec cost is so low, and by the time it becomes expensive you'll have 250ish+ skill points and be able to spec 3 builds at once and won't even need respecs often.

    I wholeheartedly agree with this. 1) Crown Store option will become available eventually, and 2) it's already dirt cheap to respec as is.

    I'm perfectly content to have people with only 50 skill points purchase crown respecs over and over to fund development of the game while I figure out where to spend my 302nd skill point...

    Just completely respected my character yesterday on 1900 gold or something. I don't see any need to change the way they have it now. Took me about 30 mins to do it, so I won't be doing it again anytime soon. And I'm only level 26, went to a reso staff from a bow. U wanna respec before every dungeon? You can already.

    I'm not advocating respecting before every dungeon, I am advocating periodic free skill resets to encourage players to try different things and more expensive paid resets. 25k+ for a paid reset but a free one periodically. Something like that...

    I have very little free points because I didn't know it was a bad idea to max every craft on my main. :( Wish we could transfer own crafting Iearned to another char. It takes too long to research to start over now. =/
