Skills Invalid, Respec doesn't work

geekguy79 · August 2015

After todays patch, just logged in, me and many many others I have talked to already, all have invalid skills, but clicking the respec button on the skills window just closes the window, and nothing happens. Repeat, open window, click respec, closes, repeat, same.

Uh, something broke.

And the specialization points can't be spend.

same problems for me too

Same problem here. Can't respec or spend spec points.

Who tests this TRIBBLE? bonkers that this stuff makes it through QA

Yeah same problem as well for me. Hope for a comment on this ASAP. I'm wondering how broken my toon is at this point.

They know about it, working on it.

This is ridiculous.

Maybe if those idiots in QA actually did their job, these things wouldn't happen. I suppose asking people to do the work that they are paid for is asking too much.

Good ol' patch day. I'm assuming the focused singularity beam now fires backwards and hits you, too. And of course when it hits you, it will fire for the full duration.

Yep. Same issues. Can't spend Spec Points, 'cause it needs skills respec'd, 'cause it thinks they're "invalid."

Can't respect from ground/space. Go to ESD, respec, but either A) Can't spend all skill points or

manage to spend all skill points, but can't "Accept" respec with some nonsense message about "cannot respec if you no longer meet your rank requirements," whatever the hell that means to a Lifer Lvl 60 Fleet Admiral with a bunch of spec points already plowed into the post 60+ Specialization system...

Clearly buggy...

Its being fixed in an unscheduled maintenance, most likely tomorrow morning.

Heres what actually happened.

We are checking in a fix right now. As soon as it's validated, we're going to look at pushing it to Holodeck. This will likely require Emergency Downtime.

Here's an explanation of the issue:

When the system flags you as "Skills Invalid" it prevents adding/removing any powers to/from your Captain. This includes Skills, Traits, and Specs. It's all related to the one issue that's invalidating your skills. In the case of this particular bug, it's directly related to the Delta T4 Reputation Trait, "Enhanced Rending Shots."

The change we checked in that improved this power's performance on the server, required a small re-structure to the PowerTree related to the Delta Reputation, where when you earned T4 you are actually being given 3 powers instead of 2. One (the new one we had to add) is automatic, and doesn't require Slotting, but also does not activate on your character unless Enhanced Rending Shots is slotted. However, it the PowerTree itself was still flagged to only purchase 2 nodes within that Tier, and so when given 3 options it didn't know what to do with itself and continuously failed to meet Skill Validation.

We fixed that. Enhanced Rending Shots still has its performance improved, and the Reputation System no longer seizes up when more than 2 nodes exist within a PowerTree Tier.
