Having played versions of D&D since roughly 1980, the inability to set my own stats to vary a character type is severely restricting. It means I'm another cookie cutter with little or no choice as to what my abilities are. My characters will be unremarkable and just like everyone else. What if I want a Wizard that's better at deflection than the 1% bonus chance I am going to get from my maximum of a 12 stat in DEX, or a cleric that doesn't have to wear full plate armor to be protected. Free placement of stats is one of the things that make a character your own. previous versions of this game have given different options for Stat placement ( such as a point base or actual random roll).
I also believe that you should take a look at the "Primary Stat" for Control Wizard as the way the abilities are set wisdom should be the primary stat as opposed to intelligence.

It really feels like what DnD would in quick time to me though.
One of my longer running games i was in had it you played what you rolled, no do overs, no choosing. It was a nightmare, but also fun as could be.
It allows the most customization possible in any MMO to date. Based on the 3.5 ruleset (as I recall).
Let the roll mechanic be an option for random stat placement. Then give us the Stat arrays to place our stats the way we want instead of hitting that roll button 50 times until we see the stat array placement we know can exist and want for our characters.
You don't have to worry.... I am pretty sure they gonna add a Nice little stat respec consumable in the Zen Store soon for 40 bucks.
Yes, it is based on 3.5, though not completely accurate to 3.5. It allows for a huge amount of character customization, which you can apply in layers if you wish by resurrecting your character over and over, deriving additional benefits and character tweaks from each past life you had on the new life.
You do know that F2P games go into Open Beta and stay that way? Have you ever seen a F2P game announce "now we move Open Beta to Launch status"?
Nope! They just keep it in Open Beta forever, so they can basically get away With everything.
And on top of that.... feed the White Knights With fuel to troll and bash every critic topic on the internet by defending Shady and bad Company practices and decisions by waving the "Beta" flag!
/shrug ..... People never learn how F2P works and why so many People loath it.
Open beta is a precursor to release and yet people time and time again expect them to make drastic changes. Open beta will fix server issues, balance issues, and major bugs.
That being said this game has nothing on EQ2 and SWTOR those games redefined the phrase "nickel and dime".
Yes, I know open beta stays that way LOL. Play plenty of them to know this. I was just stating a small point or my 2 cents. Also, you are right its away for the creators to get away with most anything. Cryptic has put out some good work in the past and I don't see them putting out something that will not be good.
There are no more wipes in this "beta". People have paid in excess of a box price to play this "beta", and you're going to use the excuse that it's not even in open beta? Don't fool yourself, this is release. Somehow people still expect a game to be finished at release, PW is just being more realistic about what people are going to expect to be playing. A buggy client with tons of missing content, just like well over three-quarters of the MMO's released in the last 10 years.
