any plans to reduce Re-skill costs? or alter how cost works?

dsalter · June 2014

being a huge price purelly for amount of skillpoints gained is quite taxing on someone who doesnt really sell much, wouldn't it be wiser to halve, maybe even cut it by 3/4 BUT increase the cost by 50% for each additional re-skill but every 1 week (maybe a set date every week?) it goes down a 50%, that way re-skilling once in a while isn't going to harm but someone who will do it often will be taxed far more for the convenience.

thoughts?

personally this would open up reskills to more of the players, hell i'd make any reskill below level 20-30 free for the first time so people know what they want from their character since they'v given it a test run

I am not trying to be rude, so I apologize if this comes across as such. There have been many posts about this topic already and none have had an official answer.

There have been several threads also dealing with the lack of communication from the developers so I would not expect to get any type of answer anytime soon.

its cheap to re skill, I paid last time 20k gold and will never have to do it again with my vr12, since there is so many skill points in the game, got 226 as of now, and 3 unspent.

and personal opinion im totally against that it should be cheaper, it shouldn't be so you can spec to what ever situation u in pvp/pve and so on.

be smart and think of the choices you make, read up on them what they do and how others use them

so your against experimenting or having people adjust their play style to something they enjoy?

I love respeccing lets me test all the morphs for my skills before i decide on a keeper meh 10k - 20k whatevs if you need to just gear grind for an hour or two for the coin.

They actually did reduce the costs according to some guildies, they said their respecs were cheaper than they used to be. Don't think it was documented in the patch notes, though its not the first ninja change with this game and it won't be the last.

I just like the option of doing one Morph exchange instead of having to reset the whole damn thing for just 1-2 point differences. Most of my points are pretty much where I want it, the problem lies with a morph not meeting expectations or has become useless in VR content and you want to try the other option.

You are not suppose to be reskilling every day or for each dungeon/raid. As it stands now you can reskill at a modest cost.

the biggest turn of more the fact that i have to set ALL my points again, when i lets say just wanna respec out of like 1 or 2 abilities, now thats annoying

I don't think there should be a change. There's great skill and enjoyment in playing a character that isn't 'perfect' and learning and adapting to situations in the game. These games aren't about making the 'perfect' character, they're about making the character you want, then heading out into the online world with them to try and enjoy & best challenges that come their way. Flaws and strengths; that's what makes it enjoyable.

That being said I think it would be nice of development to perhaps offer a once-off complete resetting of everyone's skill-point allocation in game after significant patches to the functionality of many of the skill lines. It would be a nice gesture.

Hard to know how skills actually work just by the descriptions. Some descriptions obscure and some flat wrong. Since you advise to read up on them could you please post a link to a site that actually has a good description of how all the skills work? Cause I havent found one.

Ive asked this question several times and no one ever answers. If there isnt a site where people can "read up" then please stop saying it.

my main 3 sites where I read up on them and builds

http://tamrielfoundry.com/
http://esohead.com/
http://teso.mmorpg-life.com/eso-skill-calculator/builds/

some of the builds are funny to read up on, and wont work on veteran levels.

Maverick827 · June 2014

The problem with the system as it is:

1. Ability descriptions are vague and often just incorrect
2. They are still making many balance changes which make or break certain builds
3. Only light armor/staff is viable for all classes in veteran levels; anyone finding this out late in the game must respec for something that is not their fault
4. You can only have one morph at a time and most morphs are good for different situations; you often must choose between PvE and PvE, so players who do both are screwed
5. Zenimax refuses to comment on any of this
