:sigh:
Okay, okay! I'll do an extensive search next time I have a question to post to eliminate the redundancy of discussion. My question's been answered and I'm fine with it, even if I still think there's a way it could be made to work feasibly.
No point in beating a dead horse, now. -
Seriously what more could that have added to this by making that comment? That was completely uncalled for.
I gave you my reasoning/opinions for why I would like to see a power respec. You and a few other individuals gave your reasons/opinions on the matter (and like to stress that the developers stance on the matter).
I even gave a preemptive 'I'm sure I'm coming across as being defensive' spiel, but you seemingly bypassed it as you did with your #3 point.
Are you just trying to make me upset? Just let it be, let somebody suggest the idea again - and you and whoever else can go right ahead and reply like you have again. That might just very well prove that there are, in fact, people that wish for a power respec to happen.
But do yourself and others a favor: Get rid of the attitude, it's unwarranted. We get it, you agree with the developers that a power respec should not and will not happen - that doesn't mean that other people can't still ask for it. -

These comments always amuse me.
Fine Mike, if you are dead set against rolling up another character then that's your perogative. Just be aware that the devs have flat out told us that they will never allow powerset respecs.
But please feel free to hang around waiting for more end game content to be added. I hope there's enough of it to keep you from getting bored while everyone else is having fun rolling up new characters.
Maybe you're a high schooler that utilizes your free time playing the game, all while balancing a part-time job and keep good grades. Doesn't matter to me. I'm glad you found my comment so amusing, but the fact of the matter is, we all have our own reasons for when/why we play..
I work full-time first shifts that can easily become 12+ hour days, so I'm pretty tired when I come home. I enjoy the game, but I can not just play it for hours or start new toons when I get home. While I will create several toon ideas in my free time (or when I'm not too tired), I don't always play them because I'm focusing on my primary toon that I've mentioned in my prior post.
I'm liking my toon where he's at now, especially with his incarnate abilities beginning to pay off - but I reiterate: I just wish I had the able to reroll his primary/secondary (maybe even JUST his primary). I regret the knockback I deal as a blaster, but it's not like I'm going to beat myself up over it or just suddenly start a new toon with a similar persona as my current - without knockback - as I've done so much with him in the time I have played as him.
It's a lot of work, yeah (the in-game details) - and I know somebody could easily use the argument of "sometimes the game's not for everybody" or something along those lines. But I know anybody here would have the same reply of "don't tell me what I can or cannot like".
I'm actually quite taken aback by some of the replies I've received in this thread, as it's nothing I would have expected coming from the generally friendly people I run into in-game.
The replies strike me as a 'THE DEVS SAID SO, Y DON'T U NO - OMG UR SO LAME' type mentality - but hey, that's just me probably feeling defensive to my idea that I'd like to somehow see implemented - even if the developers have struck it down multiple times and it's etched in stone. It still doesn't mean somebody can't toss the idea out - because, for all you know, they might implement it as a trial and see how it works. -
@Mega_Jamie
I searched, maybe not too hard - did not find what I was looking to discuss, so I made this thread. Here we are. I used 'powerset respec', 'respec' as my keywords - didn't find the threads that Rangle had linked to. So not sure what happened there.
@DarkGob
Yeah, but not was I was thinking about doing with a level 50. If I had a toon around level 15, I'd consider it.
@MaestroMavius
Wasn't exactly what I was talking about. I'm not talking about changing AT, just primary and secondary powersets; and even then, not being able to do it very often.
I think it would be unique to be able to take an idea for a toon, push them through the game and then 'evolve' them into a different type of toon - especially with being able to change your alignment - SAME ARCHETYPE. Example: Fire/fire dom villain that turns into a cold/fire dom hero.
I like using my blaster, but I just wish I had chosen differently for my primary powersets. And with the advent of incarnate, I'm not re-rolling my 50 just to have a toon with powers I think would be more 'suited'.
Also, I've been playing my level 50 off and on for the nearly 2 years I've been subscribed to CoH. Again, another reason I'm not going to re-roll. -
I would be quite surprised to learn if this topic has not already been discussed, but I've been thinking about this for some time. As I almost got my first toon to 50, my brother helped me out time and again (usually with his tank, my toon being a blaster).
Probably almost around level 40+ I started to realize I wish I had chosen a different powerset for my blaster. Not wanting to start over from scratch or to delete my toon, I kept at it and now I've got him up to 50 and alpha slotted. I'm still wishing I could have chosen a different powerset.
I know, I know.. the lot of you probably are probably thinking "Welllll... just start a new toon with the powersets you're really wanting" Except that I really enjoy my toon and the backstory I've given him, and not to mention all the badgeys I've gotten thus far. So.. my point?
Why isn't there some type of powerset respecification?
I'm not talking the current power respec where you can change the order and level in which you had selected your powers and reslot your enhancements - I'm talking complete powerset changes.
My blaster is energy/electric. I'd love to be able to try a different set (let's just say fire/energy, just to throw it out there), and perhaps one more befitting of my toon. I figure anyway with the science pack where you're able to have a complete gender transformation through the tailor - why can't you have a power transformation - either as a respec mish or a trial of somesort.
Or maybe even *gasp* being able to pay a nominal fee to get that powerset respec off the bat.
Thoughts, anyone?
