Although, considering how vociferous the OP has been in the past on the issue of unique naming in this game, the irony here is palpable.

No matter how creative you are or how many thesauruses you open, sometimes that one perfect name is simply taken. Probably by another Orson Scott Card fan.

It isn't cool or funny unless your high on something to do that to other people.

There's a huge difference between listening to the user base and being paralyzed trying to make everyone happy. I've always thought you guys do a good job at keeping things cool and moving.

But then, what do I know? I'm a dev suck-up.

A. Each Character can only get ONE lifetime full respec. Make the wrong powerset choice? To bad, so sad, you lose. No going back for another attempt.
B. You can't switch Archetypes. You originally rolled a scrapper, you can't switch to a controller, or VEAT, etc. You're stuck as a scrapper.
C. The individual toon MUST have been created at least 24 months ago if not 36 months ago. (not sure if the game would be able to track that.)
D. With the new Paragon Point system it would cost at least 2400 pts per character respec, if not higher.
E. Your character title would turn red for 3 months after you did the respec, giving a warning to other players that you are probably not as familiar with your powersets as a normally leveled up toon would be.

Again, I don't think the total respec is necessary, but this may satisfy some who want/desire/"need" it.

It's thematically inappropriate for a Scrapper to hide behind ninja tricks. Just like's it's apparently non-thematic for a Stalker to carry a shield.

What would happen when someone clicks the next button to accept the costume? Would they just get a message informing them that "1 or more costume pieces need to be purchased?" Would it tell them which pieces and what packs they came from? Would there be any way for new players who don't know which pieces are pack items to know before hand that they can't use them?

I see a lot of uninformed players getting annoyed when they keep trying to make costumes the game won't allow. Placing costume packs on the store dummies sounds better to me. They could just place a sign next to each one explaining what pack they come with.

And yet several issues go by, and it's still there, silently sticking in me like a thorn every time I see the uncorrected word.
