As the title says, please reduce the cost of just respecting with AD for just the Boons and Feats.

There times I would like to try out the different paragon path for feats or modify my boons but I simply don't want to pay the AD or spend the extra time using a full respect token for all the things that get respected with the token.

Simply put, please make respecting our Feats and Boons a bit cheaper, say 50% cheaper.

    Not if (as I recall) the OP is on a console.

    I don't mind using AD to buy Zen to respect; however, I don't want to respect my abilities, power points, and paragon path when all I want to do is respect my boons or my feats. The cost of respecting these two things is higher ATM than buying a respect token. Given that Cryptic / PWE keeps the cost of AD to Zen around 300-400 the cost of respecting just feats and boons should be reduced by 25-40% to make this a viable option on respecting.

    There should be a way to respec just specific tabs. The way they have things attached to each other makes little sense ad with the number of boons, its getting annoying to have to reselect everything.

    Respec tokens should wipe everything. For a reasonable fee, you should be able to respec just the tab you wish, and even then, please allow people to back out points instead of just wiping anything, so as to avoid the always fun "I want to move 1 point, but have to click 400 times to do it".

    Of course, multiple saved specs would likely resolve the issue entirely...but you know, we can't have nice things.

    Many are the times when I would like to change a single feat or boon choice but consider how long it will take to redo everything else and decide to just continue with the way it is.

    Yeah, I have 5 points I want to move from one feat to another - but I don't want to completely respect. If I could do that for 50-100 zen and just respec my feats I'd be thrilled. I'd also be more likely to play around more with my builds. Spend the zen to try out a different feat here or there and move it back if I don't like it after a few dungeons and dailys. But alas, redoing everything would be such a pain. And on top of that I've heard rumors of people being concerned that overflow powerpoints didn't match up after a respec makes me a little nervous.

    OP and I are both on PS4... so no preview server for us. Just spend the zen and hope you like it.

    Never noticed any such thing, personally, nor have I seen a screenshot from anyone who lost points. On the other hand, every time someone poses the question of "If I respec do I lose my overflow points?", they get multiple answers telling them they get to keep them.

    It's still a pain in the backside.

    I do like to keep some powerpoints free if at all possible in order to try powers that get fixed/buffed without having to go through an entire respec. Trained myself to ignore that glowing icon.

    This idea of mine came from many respects on my CW. I think I was respecting her every other day or so trying out the various builds as well as the feats and how I like them.

    If they allowed a break down of respecting here is how I view it for each area that gets respected.

    Ability Points: 20K AD
    Powers: 30K AD
    Feats: 30K AD
    Boons: 20K AD

    Respect All: 90K AD (a small saving)

    That is how I would do it or I would create individual respect tokens as you stated Raven.

    Ability Points: 50-75 Zen
    Powers: 100 zen
    Feats: 100 zen
    Boons: 50-75 zen

    I bet Cryptic would see more players buying the smaller respect items than the one priced for 300 zen or using the respect in the feat section, which by the way cost more than the respect token from my experience.

    I'm much too lazy to do a respec everytime I want to make a small change to my character. And I usually wind up with some unintended consequences. I would love it if they would charge smaller amounts for smaller respec areas.

    Why should respec'ing cost anything at all?? It's not 2003...

    All it does is cripple build diversity. You can make lots of money off of micro-purchasing without stifling the creativity of your player base.

    Charging for respec stopped being a thing when GW2 came out. Get it together, Cryptic...

    Actually DCUO doesn't charge players to respect at all. All it takes is in game currency in form of game cash, which is actually quite easy to come by, even easier than AD or Gold in NW.
