Retcon token price in zen-store

I think 1250 zen for 1 retcon is kind of overpriced, everybody just buy keys, sell them, retcon with Gs, I don't really see why the price is not turned down to something like 500, would have more sales that way.

    I forget, how many Gs does it take to do a full lvl 40 retcon (assuming you do it in the right order)? If it's a max of ca. 600 and keys typically sell for 90 then a retcon price of ca. 670 zen could be fair.

    Yeah pretty much, It's just a trap for newbies at the moment

    Heck, get rid of the retcon item entirely then. Let people sell keys for their retcons, that way we keep more keys in the economy.

    Not only should the z-store retcon item price go down, it'd be nice if they'd also cut a break to people who don't retcon very often: 1 free retcon per month. This free retcon should not be cumulative with itself, meaning you can never have more than 1 of it saved up.

    I totally understand the idea behind "we don't want you changing your character constantly" but also, there's something to be said for making it less horrible to correct build mistakes, and build mistakes are very easy to make and very hard to undo in this game, especially for newer players who lack the experience and resources.​​

    I'd be fine with silvers getting 1 free retcon when they hit 40. Nothing more. If you just randomly mash your mouse on the Powers UI and are then surprised when your build is trash that's your fault.

    I think that retconning an AT should only cost for the powers that you can actually choose or change. This would lower the price of AT retcons significantly, and be a great help to Silver players.

    AT retcons? You mean the Retrain tokens? It would be nice to be cheaper but might not.

    I must be a very conservative player. I have only run out of retcon tokens on 1 character so far. Even some of my oldest ones still have 3-4. Maybe it's because I now test them a bunch on pts before I commit on live. Also, the periodic free tokens that have come out during power revamps have helped keep me stocked up.
