Poll: DO YOU WANT A FREE RESPEC?

✭NoNo, forcing us to pay so much in gold forces us to think carefuly before we choose our skills and I accept it.
In real life we also make decisions and then we need to pay for them if they are wrong. Life isn't easy

snoogadooch✭✭✭YesYes!!!! It's ridiculous how much it's going to cost with all my characters. The whole crown sale is dubious like they are inviting you to spend some dollars for it.
I really want this game to thrive for a long time. I sub and Iike shopping in the crown store for cosmetics and have no problem spending my money to see the game succeed. So this is kind of an insult in my mind.2 -

pure no sense what you saying , the time you make your decisions , is base on something you see and read in the past ,but now , the something you read and see in the past are change now and are not the same , so your pass decisions are not base on the same calculation of today , so what you saying make any senseEdited by charley222 on March 11, 2016 5:46PMthe wall of the covenant1 -
KaleidoscopeEyz✭✭✭✭YesAll they have to do is give everyone the gold to respec. Then it's the players choice to do it or not.0 -

✭YesYes. I was surprised to see they did not offer it for this DLC.
Every major patch should automatically give free respec.PC - EU

Then no more complaining from the complainers and it gives people the opportunity to test out and try the changes in skills.
Is this a joke?
Did people really complain about not wasting money?
No, people complained about being forced to respec at first login after a patch, some having returned after a break and having forgotten what their spec was not having seen the warnings beforehand, and others because they had no need or wish to respec anyway. No-one has ever complained about an optional respec whether through a token in the mail or a discount on the respec shrine, at least not so far as I can recall.0 -

✭✭✭Doesn't really matterThis poll is screwy anyways. Its like asking a kid do you want ice cream for dinner. Of course they do. Is it healthy tho? Nope. Also I think its odd how only a minor few skills were changed yet people want free complete respecs on all characters. Even ones not affected.0 -
Selstad✭✭✭✭I think they should rather change how you respec. Right now, it's all the points, out the window. What they should do, is have a separate UI where you could select which talents to refund points from (1 point for normal skills and 2 points for morphed skills). Right now there are roughly 330 skill points. You could simply put a price of 50 gold per skill point to reset. Which means that resetting all 330ish skill points would be roughly the same price as today.
I've never liked the respec option in ESO, it feels too rigid and early in the game, it punishes you if you select a skill with bad synergy with what you already have.2 -
YesI would like a token or something. Any way to save money. Now will all these new skills, I would like to take away some crafting skills on my character which would require a full respec and not a morph-only one.0 -

I don't know how you play the game but for people looking to use optimal builds for raiding and end-game and pvp, there are significant changes to every class. Not a few minor skills. I have 3 characters that need to change their skill rotation completely to get my dps.
Also, of course it would be a "complete respec" because that's the only kind there is lol.

So you don't really mean "no", you mean just don't offer respecs in the manner they did after IC?0 -

✭✭This whole poll doesn't matter anyway, because they've already stated they wont do any more respecs for DLCs until they can make per skill, which they are working on.0 -

That's a fair argument, but only for the comparatively few players (and characters) who fit that demographic. For most players an optional or partial respec is more than sufficient. You have 3 characters that need to change their skill rotation completely, although given that wording I'm not clear whether that involves respeccing as opposed to amending your hotbars, but you may equally have other characters that do not need to do so.0 -
ProfessorKittyhawk✭✭✭✭✭
✭It's been mentioned in various topics, and I'm sure this one as well (haven't read everything) but they should give everyone a credit token or something such to use at the rededication shrine to use it for free if you want a respec. That or make it so it's only 1 gold.0 -
Yolokin_Swagonborn✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭YesStill waiting for me respec. Now that I have had a few days to look at all my characters, I have determined that the morphs and champion system has changed so much that I need respects on at least 5 of them. That is 75k gold that I need to spend on gear and other items.
ZOS is hoping we will just forget about this and they can sweep it under the rug. They have given respecs for previous patches this grandiose in scope. We need one for this patch too.0 -
hamburgerler76✭✭✭✭Yesyes just don't force it make it so first time we interact with the shrine it cost nothing but after that back to normal0 -
Universe✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭YesYes.
There needs to be a free respec in every major update, like Thieves guild.
@ZOS_GinaBruno It is not too late to implement a free respec, a lot of players didn't buy a respec yet.
Please consider implementing a free respec in the next patch maintenance and in every major update.
It will be very much appreciated.Edited by Universe on March 13, 2016 9:40AMSome videos I recorded for fun: Main character:
