I’m not sure if this was just something to test for the end of closed beta, but not being able to relevel/respec your clade points really puts a damper on playing one character. It also punishes new players for making mistakes.
Most games, well all other games offer some kind of respec even if it has a small cost. I am hoping this changes upon persistence. As a hybrid player I had the flexibility to play a full mage or a Paladin fighter. Now I can no longer get the perks back that I lost to change my roles around.
Yea, I mean, you can respec everything else.But I'm torn. I mean, if you're speccing over for mining gifts and out of combat gifts when you are mining... that's kind of weird, too. Being locked in tho, doesn't make a lot of sense, especially if it's a forever lock, and I don't wanna hear like, with the rep system, "they are gonna fix it eventually," you think people quit cuz of GY action, they are def gonna quit because of clicking the wrong clade gift. None of the clade gifts besides the ones that everyone takes are OP. Mostly it's just build alterations like you said. I almost think that you should be able to instantly respec esp given how hard it's gonna be to earn lvl 20, comparatively.
But yea, I'm never quite sure what the vision is... haha. Some of it seems good in theory, but I think the gifts should be a bit more powerful if they are gonna be hard spec gifts. I mean who is gonna waste a gift on 10% mines or see chance to gain rare mats haha. Mayhaps you should get templates that you can unlock thru playing? Like lvl 15 you get an extra template and lvl 20 you get an extra template and can toggle between them? I dunno.
Nothing in MO surprises me anymore, but I was like heh when they said you can no longer unspec clade gifts. It's like o ok. haha.
