"Respec Failed"

For the second time in a week, I attempted a /respec on a hero, only to get to the end and receive the cryptic message "Respec Failed." And indeed, it had. Nothing had happened.

Is this just a run of bad luck on my part, or is it cropping up lately?

When I corresponded with Customer Support, they replied that zoning or logging typically fixed the problem. Indeed, I attempted the failed /respecs after playing for over an hour, maybe two, so the issue could be a memory leak in that part of the program that governs /respec. Whether this is something that just happens, or if it is more prevalent since i15, they did not say.

Fortunately, both these guys were lvl 17 and 18, and I sold all their DO enhances anyway once the /respec worked, and there were not a lot of slots or powers to reconfigure. But MAN would it have been a pain had it been a lvl 50 I was working on.

So for the time being, I would suggest logging to the desktop and logging back in before attempting a /respec, just in case this is something not restricted to my rig. And if anyone else is having wonky times with /respec, please chime in.

Were you a Kheldian, by any chance?

I had heard a while ago that there was a bug that would allow you to slot up the form powers before you should, and adding slots early to those powers would cause the respec to fail.

I actually preformed a Respec on my Warshade recently, and was able to fill the Dwarf Attacks with Enhancement Slots well before I should. I did not fail the Respec, and it worked just like it did in Issue 4 when I was able to do it.

Check these 2 things when you next try to respec:

1. Make sure you aren't in a TF, Trial, or SF. This will cause a respec to fail every time.

2. Since AE missions count as a TF, being in an AE mission will cause a respec to fail as well.

The first /respec fail was an Ice/Rad Controller, and the second was a Storm/Ice Defender. I had heard that Kheldians sometimes had issues, but these guys were your standard, ordinary, run-of-the-mill superhumans.

Also seems to fail if your inventory is full at the time.

Today, I tried to respec my DB / SR Scrapper and got the respec failed notice. The only thing I could figure out was that I had red enhancements in both my inventory and powers. After eliminating all the red enhancements in both areas, the respec worked.

Hope this might help =D
