    The boards are essentially private property. You have only as much freedom as NCSoft/Paragon Studios and the mods allow you. They can remove your post for overuse (or underuse) of the word "pink" if they so choose, and you have no recourse. They can mod or remove your posts for no reason whatsoever, if they want.

    NC *lets* you vent/complain here. If they said "That's no longer allowed," then it's no longer allowed.

    There is no "freedom of speech" here.
    Hey Cartel boy, I'm doing it and not kicked or arrested...so yeah, it's FREEDOM!

    Addditionally, other paying customers have the ability to oppose your POV and call you on your complaint.
    Yeah you HAVE the right, it's called freedom of speech and as of very soon...this games going Freedom! So, yeah....it is a right, unless your in some other country other then the United States, maybe like.....North Korea, Cuba, Iran, ect. And since I am a paying customer, I have more right to complain even more then a person thats going to play for free! "I'm just saying!"

    Something else to for you too, you NEED power...you DONT need to play this game! So, when theres an outage in this game...it's BAD for their business. Also, when you spend over 1000k per year on this "game" and it doesn't work, people look elsewhere! Bad for YOU in the long!!!! Get it?

    Soul_System...for one theres a BIG difference between Power and a game company! Power + usage = Business, the more needed the more of a possibility of an outage. Simple, power is like water, the more you use and MANY others use the more chances of LESS! Got it? A Game company isn't the Power company, they sell a game on the use of it's servers and game content. If that content or decision making is bad, there is repercussions! Simple!!!

    It's not a bad idea, because people have asked about this before in other events! But, TY for your answer and I no longer will post on the forums due to this Dev nonsense!

    Reasons why this is a bad idea:

    People have no reason to make more than one of each At, since they can just swap powersets.

    Low level content will die out.

    Those switching to new powersets would have 0 experience with playing the new set and would be frustratingly horrible with them, since they had no time to learn how to play the set.

    People will get bored with the game if 1 lvl 50 means any combo of the AT can be made, thus limiting players to really only needing 14 characters to experience every combination possible.

    ^People getting bored with the game means less people to team with.

    And I'm sure others could come up with many reasons I missed. Your opinion of rerolling being stupid (which is like saying playing the game is stupid in MY opinion) is not a good enough reason for this kind of thing to be taken seriously. And name changing and server changing don't even remotely relate to this, so they are a bad argument to use.
    TY for your post Pyro, but I have found that this topic has been raised and is a non-issue for the Dev's. Hense, I will no longer post on the forums anymore.

    The developers themselves shot down power-respecs as a never earlier this year during a Q&A session: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=218838



    Literally less than 72 hours after Mr. Miller torpedoed the idea, somebody, once again, tried to raise it: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=218960

    Then less than 24 hours after that, tried again: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=219010

    Castle again shot down the idea later in closed beta thread when responding to Zombie Man, confirming that the position taken by Positron was shared by the development staff, an interchange mentioned on the public forums here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?p=3077295

    More recently, somebody else tried to raise the topic again just a month or so ago: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=240452

    All of the threads about Power-Set respecs, Ultimate respecs, and so on, every single one terminate with this is a topic that is not up for discussion, and there is no way you can gussy it up for the developers to think it is in any way a good idea.

    I'm sorry if you don't like that answer, but the developers have been very explicit about how they want to make an alt-friendly game and encourage players to have multiple-archtypes. They have not, as far as I have observed, ever linked the lack of a power-set and archtype-respec system to any technical hurdle.

    It is not a matter of the developers cannot make such a re-specification system. It is that the developers will not make such a re-specification system.
    Ty, I didn't know this je_saist! I have asked before and have never seen an answer why! This for me is an on going thought and was told over and over to post on Forums. Guess this is a Dropped issue for me TY again!

    How about this?

    Let's say I get to fifty. I want to try something new. What good would it be to just have that as a fifty, with potentially no idea how the powers works or how they mesh together without those 49 levels of playing with them?

    You're essentially asking to skip the 49 levels that you learn how to play a power, just for the sake of trying something new directly at 50.
    Thats not what i'm saying at all! I also said, keep thinking about it to, if I just gave you the answer...that wouldn't help either right?

    OK, lets say you get to fifty and have played that fifty for say...2 years and it gets NERF'd. Then, you try and pvp with that toon and find that your the first toon they attack eveytime. You have made so many fifties, that you don't find it fun any more to play that game and quit. Why reroll or delete a toon, when you could pay or just respec your powers? You wouldn't have to...you could if you wanted to, like name change or server change!
