So does anyone know if we get a free..?

Come June 20th, does anyone know if we will all get a free respec token for the new live update patch?

I have come to assume that we do for these major kind of class balance type patches and would expect with the amount of major changes that PWE gives us all free respecs at least?

If anyone knows that would be great, thanks.

    That's the kind of thing you'd expect in a beta. Not holding my breath for it in this case though.

    They'll most likely wipe everyone's character of feats and powers. The points on each character will return to the pool for you to spend as you see fit, with a big message letting you know when you log in. They won't be handing out "respec" tokens. This is how the other MMO's I've played do it when they have a major patch concerning class changes.

    I've played multiple Nexon games where each major class update, they would usually pick 1 class to balance and give that 1 class a respec token and then just do classes in waves.

    I think with such a large content patch to start off the live patch, they would and obviously should include a respec token to everyone because of all the ability/power/encounter/trait changes.

    Its Cryptic... make your assumption from there.

    IF, and thats a big IF, they provide a free respec... I am pretty sure it will be for a single character. Of course you won't get any communication about this till after the patch and a number of people have already bought a respec. Then they might cave and give respecs while refusing to refund the people that bought the respec. They can make more money that way.

    Harsh, but seems to be the modus operandi of this company.

    Wiping everyone's feats and powers sounds like a good idea and would work out just as well, I hope that's what they do at the very least.

    What? This is a pretty stupid statement. Have you ever played a MMO before?

    This is what most other MMO's do. No reason NW won't do it.

    For the ADD addled out there:
    "we’ll be introducing them to the Open Beta servers (with any necessary changes), and offering free respec tokens so that you can build your character the way that you’d like"

    Huge changes to class=respec should be granted by common sense.
    Minor changes to class=no respec.

    When devs make big changes to powers and feats (or class mechanisms) it's customary to give a free respec. They do the same in STO
