The 600 zen token is to respec everything all at once on your character.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
7 celestial coins seems awfully cheap for a respec. Perhaps something like 60 ardent coins would be okay though.
Pretty much. Well apart your stating attribute rolls.
except that you can't respec your powers with AD can you?
It requires you to have logged in for 7 days. It encourages and rewards people for logging into the game.
Respecs shouldn't be about cost. There's plenty of other things built into the game that does that already. The game should encourage experimentation and getting people to log in.
This request accomplishes both things.
When players are logged in and happy with their character, they are more inclined to spend money on other things. If they are unhappy with their character build and have to pay real money to change, they are less inclined to spend money on anything at all. Either that or just say screw it and make a new character/account.
You're giving up wards for that.
exactly

I agree they should have another form, such as 10-20gold, or a decent bit of ardent coins is a good idea. moer than 7 though.
you want respecs to hurt not be free, more so when they have a cash value. 30 or so is certainly more than reasonable - remember the best way to respec is to reroll before you already invested the gear.
Why should we want respecs to hurt? And who's asking them to be free?
It takes 7 days of logging in for one respec.
That means with this method people can only respec 'for free' once every week. That's more than reasonable.
We should save this thread for when the other paragon paths kick in and see how everyone feels about 'punishing' players for wanting to try out different play methods.
Yeah? Guess what, about 70% of my feats right now are completely broken.
As well as a couple powers.
There is literally no other way to find out about that then to test them, foundry only allows up to lvl 31 to test so that's not going to help.
Basically, there's no way to PLAN your character.
Save your gold. You're going to need it at end game. Injury kits are 20 silver a pop and you'll most likely need them as you do higher end content. And there's the potions that you'll probably burn through as well.
And up until recently that was a buggy mess.
Making it free would also help the player economy. When you respec you need to stack different stats. You need to re enchant equipment, pick different companions, etc.
Cryptic is looking at the small picture, they would make more money and have happier players if they made respecs free or at least cheap enough using ad or gold for the casual player.
Again, opportunity costs, losing out on wards for that "Free" respec. =p
Exactly, the only answers people who agree with respecs being in the cash shop seem to be able to come up with is that it should in some way "hurt" or detract from your enjoyment of the game. That, or re-roll a new character, neither of which are conducive to fun and are more likely to simply drive people away from the game.

For emphasis....
Besides, stop saying that you need to SPEND MONEY to respec. It's utter bull****. You can get everything from the zen shop without spending a single cent. You can trade AD for Zen. And it's getting cheaper by the day. Stop whining on the forums, start playing the game, get AD, turn them into Zen, respec. It's not that hard. It's actually cheaper than respeccing feats alone with astral diamonds at 60.
The token is to respec your entire character in one shot.

Ok, but if you only respec feats it only costs AD.

You're giving up wards for a respec, it's not free.
And it would not make choices meaningless.
Completely borked feats and powers that people can't test causing everyone to do the same cookie cutter spec like they are now make choices meaningless.
Respecs currently cost like 240k, feats are like 180k.
Respeccing feats is kind of a waste.
No need to pretend they're that different.
"Only costs AD" lol.
Well, you do get a blue ward for 7 celestial coins, which costs 1000 Zen in the store. A Respec token is only 600 Zen. I think this would be a good idea, actually. Seven days for one respec is a pretty long time, and you wouldn't be able to get something else that week, like said blue ward.
So wait now the complaint isn't that it costs cash to buy a token but that it is so expensive in game you might as well buy the token?
I thought the complaint was that you could only buy the token to respec which isn't true. Now your moving that goal and stating that just because it costs a small amount of AD that is close to the AD to buy the Zen for a token that your complaint is still valid? Really?
I only gave my self 50K of the guardian starting AD and have spent 271K on a phoera and probably another 30 - 40K on scrolls, enchantments and the like, and I still have almost 300K AD. All that without trying to make AD. So really ... 180K is too expensive to pay in game currency to respec feats?

This is not feasible for a casual player. Sure you can theoretically get everything in this game for free, but only if you can spend 40 hours a week playing a video game or be willing to wait 2 or three months just to try out a different power. Some players have other responsibilities that take up their time. They play the game for a few hours here or there to unwind.
This game may have d&d in the title, but it is no closer to being d&d than any other fantasy mmo out there.
I think respecs should be encouraged(ie; free or very cheap). It will make the game more money. The player community will benefit from the experimenting. It will highlight the power bugs and exploits faster.
I have no problem spending money on this game. ( I have already and will continue to) But with all of the broken powers, and inevitable class changes, this is one area they should make it easy for players to redo.
Yes, yes it is.
You must not have been here for long, because the price of respecs is what everyone has been complaining about.
Yes I know they are complaining about a luxury costing them money. Oh my.
