I can get force bolt around 50 mag kb, if these enhancements could stack to reach that level I would be all for this.
Start at 0kb, enhance up to 50kb. Hell yeah.

I have not switched yet because I would rather re roll and start clean. I do have other villains already converted Im not going to delete because Im lazy (and forced the backstory on them), but you are talking to a guy that has deleted a lvl50 alpha slotted character to re roll for a powerset that fits a concept better. Concept is more important to me than the time involved.

This suggestion is not limited by tech. If left completely open it could go against game direction, but I think with some rules on it it could be done without ruining anything.
To change the rules, you have to make suggestions that go against them. I dont know how to explain that any clearer.
lol I will agree to that if you agree to not get xp, level up, or any new enhancements accountwide after using a respec....


Okay not really MMOs need change to stay fresh.

You cut out the rest of the paragraph where I explained what I was saying, so... I wont type it again I guess.
It is true though. Neither are necessary, they are a gift from he devs after a change is made to the game.
Pretty sure that is what I said too.

I agree. Hence my suggestion rather than an angry protest or something.
This is true, where my suggestion doesnt involve them taking away a choice, but rather giving a new one. The reason it is still comparable to the new alignment options involves the stamina change. It didnt take away anyones choice. Some people still have non-inherent stamina with no changes to their character at all. Yet the devs gave multiple freespecs for this. Why? Because they wanted existing characters to get the choice options that they now give to new characters.
Yes, but like I mentioned above the stamina change didnt take a choice out of anyones hands. The devs offered the new choice to old players, and for multiple builds. It was not something we were entitled to, they did it because they felt like it. So logically I think its safe to say that if at 1 time they gave a freespec when a choice was given rather than taken, then it is possible they would do it again.


I didnt, but I have only recently started using the forums. Even still, I don't consider speculations on the forums to be incredibly significant.
See my multiple stamina comparisons above.

Obviously some of us created characters outside of the "story" of the game, and it is our own responsibility to make our characters fit what we want them to be. I have been using the alignment system to do what I want (simply because I would rather drag a villain to heroside than have a praetorian). It does work if I close my eyes long enough. Despite some of the denial in this thread though, the rules of alignment are changing. A free alignment change is not in any way necessary for this in the same way that a free rescpec is not necessary. I think the parallels are close enough to justify the suggestion though.

Of course in the end it is still up to me to delete my character and re roll. Thats what I was planning before I had this idea, and realistically its what I expect to do after i21. Im not trying to blame the devs for my previous choices, I just honestly see this being the same reasoning behind free respecs.


lol no, that is not the same. Alignment changes already do exist in game, and as many have pointed out they really aren't difficult. Changing ATs/powersets on an existing character is not currently possible in any way. Asking to get something that already exists faster is not the same as asking for something that doesn't exist at all.

The question is not about why don't they allow it now. It is about why shouldn't they ever allow it? I'll point out again that this is the suggestion forum, where it is perfectly acceptable to ignore what the devs have said in the past in order to discuss the future.
You do realize that nothing in this game would ever progress if the devs weren't capable of changing their minds, right? "The devs said so" is not a valid objection to a suggestion that is in reference to a future change.
Anyway, enough semantical bs, free alignment changes would be awesome. Prove me wrong

They have made the alignment change unnecessary. Absolutely 100% unnecessary for getting the AT you want on the alignment you want. Unless your character has already been created, then you have to go through a process that new characters don't.

This is completely parallel with why they give respecs for power changes. New characters dont get the respec because the fundamental game change is already in place, old characters do get a respec because a new choice is available that was not available before. The alignment respec follows logically. The game has changed, I no longer have to start my brutes red/gold side, and just like I no longer have to waste power slots on stamina I shouldn't have to spend time on something that new characters get for free. Of course the devs could say no, but there is no logical reason not to offer it other than if they just dont feel like it.

lol I think you are on to something here

O-mega Man always has my back no matter how badly Im outnumbered, even when he thinks I shouldn't have started it in the first place.
Thats what being a hero is all about, not putting tedious obstacles in an RPG. lol and Im not even a real role player. I wonder what the hardcore RPs think about this.

Didnt say I cant or wont, Ive done it many times. I dont care for praetoria and it is irrelevant to my OP.

Nope. Obviously you are reading what you want to read. My statement stands for heroes>villains as well as villains>heroes. Look again:
Its all here in the thread, I dont know what you are looking at. I used a corruptor as my example because I have one, but I never said that alignment was relative to leveling speed. That was YOU that brought that up.


Also, my praetorians are just fine, but hey are not earth heroes. They are irrelevant to my point. I could make a villain>hero, or a praetorian>hero, but both involve ignoring in game text and pretending the past never happened.

I already said that I can level faster than I can switch sides. That implies that I think leveling is easy dontcha think?

If you want to tell me that Im wrong that is fine, but you should at least read what Im saying first.

Actually, it will in i21. I will have lvl 1 doms, brutes, and corrs running all over Atlas park saving puppies and helping old ladies cross the street.

This is true. My own characters I want to change have not really done anything, no badges, no accolades etc, but for most characters this would matter.

I chose my powers to fit a concept, it is just unfortunate that I chose them before i21.

No, neither is painful. I guess I just don't see the detriment of letting an existing character swap sides when i21 rolls out. Even if the free alignment change was only available for a single day.

Im not sure we are in the same thread anymore. It takes a minimum of 4 days to switch alignments (after I hit 20). I can level from 1~17 (on any faction) in a day if I wanted. I didnt say anything about different factions leveling differently. At all. I am comparing switching alignment vs re-rolling.
No I chose my powers, the game made me a villain.

lol I just made a suggestion and am now defending it because that is what this board is for IMO. You are the one getting all combative over something that doesn't even affect anyone yet.

Making corruptors/brutes/doms available on heroside seems pretty big to me. I understand that they dont want people switching back and forth, but I think this is different. For example: I have a corruptor that I managed to drag to lvl17. After I hit 20 I could spend ~1 hour a day for four days switching her to hero side. Or I could just delete her and re roll, then get back to 17 in less time than it would take to switch sides. Im already changing alignment in 1 day against the devs wishes, but it is still inconvenient for me.

The way I see it, Im not really switching alignments. Im bringing my old character inline with the new gameplan. They gave me a free respec when stamina went inherent so I could update my character to the new game without putting extra effort in. Now I think it would be nice if they let me make my character be a hero retroactively.

The character development is the part I disagree with. I have heroes that fight crime in the rogue isles, because the game forced me to make them there. In the future that wont be forced, and I think it would be nice not to change their alignment through a series of choices, but to fix their alignment to what it actually is and what the game will be allowing for any lvl 1 character.
My red side heroes either street hunt or play AE up to 20. Then the alignment missions reference how evil they used to be. lol that makes sense.



I am certainly planning to delete my lower level red side heroes and making them on blue side because it will be faster. If some kind dev actually reads the forums and lets me "respec" my alignment it would just be a bonus.

From that pic, I dont think so. An alignment change is less significant than a respec, and they give those to us for free all the time. With a major game change, why not give a simple fix for the characters that have already been created?

I dunno, I am going to delete my lowbie future heroes and re-roll them. Just though I could make the suggestion.

After 22 missions that dont fit character concept. Its not super difficult, I would just prefer not to soil my characters reputation with morality missions.

I prefer the nuke crash as is, though I do confine myself to builds that include "consume" type powers. Then I use my nuke as much as possible with minimal consequences.

I sell my thunderstrike recipes to a contact because the enhancement sells for less than the salvage it takes to make it. If you are patient you should get the set of 6 for less than 10 mil. There are sets for every power type that are cheaper. The bonuses might not be any good but you can get good percentages on the power. I'm thinking multistrike is a good one for pbaoe, can't think of any others off the top of my head.

Quote worthy. Lol

lol I wish my WP tank could get those regen numbers.
