I tried to get in front on this when it was just an idea back in OCT. It has been 6 months…let that sink in…6 months since then.
What we got is NOT going to work. The player will still need to respec their attributes for each loadout. Tedious as it is, it would not be as big of an issue IF it didn’t cost anything to do so. Instead it will cost 200 coin each time we switch from one role to the other. It’s going to add up really quick…
I was looking forward to healing again with gearsets coming out but I should have known you would half a$$ this QoL. Beyond that you chose to charge for extra slots?! For a feature that is FREE in other games. For a feature that addon creators have given to players for FREE that have more options in other games. Is this why you choose to disallow addon creators to create for this game? So you can monopolize and charge for an issue YOU created?
The quick bandaid solution is to remove attribute respec fee.
Future long term solution would be to include customized attributes AND weapon talents to each loadout.
For example. I’m not going to have the same weapon talents for SNS when I tank as opposed to PVP. Since it’s azoth to respec that currently, it’s a lower priority than attribute respec’ing.
As someone who changes attributes multiple times per day, I agree that the price adds up, but also I think it is not logical to make the change for free, maybe charging azoth instead of gold would make more sense.
Respec should ALWAYS have been free. All it does is limit a player in how they want to play. Switch till you run out of coin or you’re stuck with what you’ve chosen.
In games with talent trees respec fees promote cookie cutter builds rather than player experimentation. Attributes kind of falls in that category since there are bonuses players get for each 50 levels in one tree.
Let people play how they want when they want, just remove it.
Trying to run BNB, no one seems to want to do this expedition…ever. My codex is stuck at M8. Have to drop down to m5 or lower to find people. No Lost ward (not that I want another f*cking ward set to collect, I digress)
The problem you have is people like myself on principle will NOT pay for respec because I don’t agree with the thought process of stunting players freedom to play how they want.
In other words, I and others COULD be filling lobbies role requirements and have constant groups going. Instead we are locked into the role we chose or we have our in-game wallets gouged.
Please make this a priority. I am so close to just being done with this game. Each update, each QoL, you miss the mark and it f*cking baffles me. There are SO many other games and examples out there of how to do it right but you always choose the worst or lazy option…
