"Skills Invalid" - Check Before You Report A Bug

Dear Players,

Many recent changes that went in shortly after the launch of Delta Rising may have resulted in one or more of your characters having their skills invalidated, due to structural data changes. If your characters' skills were rendered invalid by this process, it can create many scenarios that can easily be interpreted as being bugs, glitches, or errors.

A few apparent "bugs" that might be caused by Invalid Skills could be:
- Lockbox Traits missing from list
- Unable to spend Specialization Points
- Bonuses from Skills no longer applying

... and various other scenarios related to Skills, Traits and/or Specializations.

To see whether or not your character's skills are invalid, follow the following steps:

1) Open your Skills Window ('K' by default)
2) Look for a "Skills Invalid" button at the bottom-right corner of the window
3) Press this button. This will Respec your character for free.
4) This respec is total - it will un-spend all of your Skill Points and Specialization Points, and unslot your Traits.

If you instead see "Accept" and "Reset" buttons at the bottom-right of your Skills Window, it is safe to assume that your Skills are in a valid state.

We apologize for any inconvenience these data changes may have caused, and would ask that all players work with us by only reporting bugs that are outside of the scope of those fixed by re-validating your Skills.

Thanks!
