I know for a fact that the 'free respec' is not the only issue. I've had to use some of them right after the drop of Mod 6 as a number of my feats got shuffled around to accommodate the 'fixes' they employed on some classes that left me with a disaster of re-allocation. So with all my nine characters affected, no single respec seems to be the sole cause of this issue, as a few of them did not get respec'd.
I am certainly not going to pay for a respec to fix a mistake by the company, that just doesn't sit right, that isn't how business should be done.

I have since double checked to ensure I don't experience this bug with more than just the couple of characters i'd checked on from memory previously.
Out of the 36 characters i have spread over a few accounts, not a single one has this bug.
I don't know exactly what the cause is yet I haven't used a respec for any of them, only one is at 70 and 3 new pallies on the same account. I didn't try and take advantage of the opportunity to purchase a 4th level power before level 70 with 70 points spent either.
I hope it does get resolved very quickly, even to the point of handing out more free respecs to players to do so.
This has not been true for many people. Perhaps you got lucky. Grats!
It's not enough to hit level 70. You also need to spend 70 Power points + an additional Power point for every rank 4 you have.
So, if you will end up with 1 Power at rank 4, you need to commit 71 power points. If you will end up with 19 Powers at rank 4, you need to spend and commit 89 power points. This is why for some hitting level 70 unbugs the character (they had extra Power points from pre-mod6 when level 60 was the max), but not for others.

Dude you know nothing. I'm lv 70 and I spent 75 power points and I still have free 11 points, yet i cannot use them. My character is bugged.
Yeah cool... i made my character after module 6 patch came out so i dont have any free respec...? cool for new player right? SUPER COOL.

I had this issue on one of my characters, I had used my free respec on this character before and never had one when this bug occured, I had two Rank 4 skills at the time and could do nothing to spend my points anywhere, the only way I was able to fix this was to purchase a full respec from the zen store, which I shouldn't have had to do / many people can't afford / don't have.
At the moment I have 2, and can't upgrade the rest.
Yeah, I don't know why you're bugged. If you are level 70, and have spent 75 power points, you meet the criteria to spend more and bring additional ones to rank 4. There's another factor at play for you.
Do you remember the last time you re-speced powers, and the last time it let you commit a power point (when and what level you were)?
One thing that needs to be said: If you're going to say "liar, this doesn't work!!" ...please don't. It's not helpful information to the issue at hand.
The devs have been reviewing the matter and what Strum suggested in the OP of the thread does work for some. It was never advertised to be a cure-all, but just one possible solution, and he did post later that the devs are still investigating a more complete fix.
For those that say "but we've already said what the issue is!!": That's fine and the feedback is appreciated. However, understand that the devs must test any proposed fixes before implementing them, that the policy of many companies is not to accept assistance outside official channels (for liability reasons) and what appears to be fixed on preview may not be so when brought to interact with the hairball that we call live code.
If you're willing to try what he suggested, that's fine. If not, that's cool, too. However, please understand that many issues take time to look into, and that has to come alongside the rest of their daily tasks. Please be patient.

quick question was it because of the thought that some persons would have rank 4 skill has an advantage why the 23rd patch was put into play for my two cents just revert the patch that was put into play for blocking rank 4 before 70 for we (including me and you ) all know that patch bugged the whole feats and power guess what hit level 70 with my hr and i cant even apply ability points . please i want to play please

I've had six days of patience, now it's over, I could be days catching AD and making Dungeons am unable to play for a BUG, For those who already bought Zen is more frustrating, you can not fix the bug because not of a Free respec again? this would avoid people run out of play for 1 week

Yep, definitely not cool to call the guy a liar. #1. It is an insult of a personal nature that is definitely not called for. and #2 In order for someone to actually lie, they need to know that the information they are giving is false.
We complain constantly about lack of response from the Devs and many of us paint them as stone faced corporate hacks. Anyone will eventually just tune out negativity (personal attacks and so on) and become desensitized to its source if it keeps on long enough. The OP is new and is communicating with us. Lets not punish him for doing that. We want them to want to communicate with us, not just have to.
I'm sorry but i refuse to respec my char.Because i see many people having issues even if they respec.I don't want to stay without powers or feats if i respec.
For the Feats and Power Points bug, our developers have stated that only players who have not used their free Respec have this issue. The issue can be resolved by using the free Respec.
Hope this helps!
First post cleary states that "...*only* players who have not used their free Respec have this issue". Which is not true. Instead it should say either: "most players or some players".
Let me ask this one more time, 'when' can we be expecting a fix? I am about to just buy zen and fix the issue myself, since i wanted to buy zen on thursday anyway.

If you changed it so that you could get rank 4 at level 60 then that might solve the problem......
Any update Strum?

How many rank 4s do you have?
At the moment I have 2, and can't upgrade the rest.
Has this method failed for anyone?

Either way, thanks for at least trying, though.
