Chosen Feats based on Power: Why didn't you grant Feat Re-spec?
My GF took Protector Paragon because I'm a total defense turtle-debuff. With the patch, some aspects of powers were changed but I'm stuck with the feats that helped those previous choices.
The same goes with DC: I chose feats and powers to compliment each other. Why only provide a change for one and not the other?
Regardless there should be a free "REPEC TOKEN" issued to all clients. Or maybe the fact that they want you to pay to correct their errors is only insulting to me? Even if it cost gold that would be fine, but Zen? Here's a list of the stuff we finally fixed for your class, but oh yeah you have to pay if you want to reapply points to those fixed feats/powers? Inconsiderate customer service, but that's pretty much everywhere nowday's lol.
I didn't try it first since I'm not yet ready to respec on changes that just occurred.
In my defense, I did search for more information and it just stated a respec in the Powers section on patch notes. Nothing in the feats section.
In addition, there is no "token", just the button to click to respec powers. That's what it says in the game. "Click to change how you spent any power points and any paragon path you chose." Nothing about Feats.
The Feats tab shows a grayed out button for the Feat respec and asking me to pay in AD.
It was the assumption of everyone that a respec was for Feat and Powers since it was not stated for both in the patch notes. Hence, I concluded from this evidence there is no respec for Feats, only Powers.
Patch notes under Powers section (nothing in Feats):
All characters now have a free respec. This respec can be used in the Powers screen, via a button in the lower left. This respec will not stack with future free respecs granted in this way
I've read that you can keep it for as long as you want before using it.
Yep, they last indefinitely. But usually they don't stack, so if there's another big patch and they grant more free respecs, you don't end up with two if you save this one forever.
"Participation in PVP-related activities is so low on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis that we could in fact just completely take it out of STO and it would not impact the overall number of people [who] log in to the game and play in any significant way." -Gozer, Cryptic PvP Dev
Hint.. if you read that it was mentioned on another thread.. ie in the powers section, perhaps you should have read all that was said about it. It was made clear multiple times that it is a complete respec, short stat picks. Also, it's stated that it will be lost when the next one comes along so you might as well use it at least when the next one is announced to be coming.

The power tab respec is a FULL respec including attributes, powers AND feats.
"Sir, were now surrounded"!
Thats great news son, now we can attack from ALL sides"!
This. I love it when people make fools of themselves.
Every character got one today.

This. I want to wait until some new testing is done before respec'ing.

but nothing under the Feats section.
