End Respec with Empty Tray Option

[insert standard search-fu accusations and counter-arguments here]

So, the thread title probably says it all: can we please get a radio button option for respecs that, if set on, ends a respec with no powers in the character's trays?

This option should exclude macros, as of course some players have elaborate setups on their characters using those, such as Masterminds and Kheldians. (Or, perhaps, another option which can instead be checked to also clear macros?)

I've always thought about suggesting this myself and always forgot to actually do it...

I support this 100%. There is nothing more annoying about a respec than having to clear 6 trays of powers.

/cleartray (or is it /cleartrays)

Takes 2 seconds.

Didn't see that part, but I'm pretty sure my mm macros stay in the tray after I use that slash command. I could be wrong though, it's been a bit since I've respeced a mm.

Hmm. Didn't even know there was a command like that in the game. Thanks.

All macros, both system generated (Mastermind, AE Accolade, etc) and player generated (via the /macro command) remain on your tray.

Lots of people don't. Shortly after it was added, a friend's health meter vanished. He asked in a global channel how to get it back and I told him to type "/cleartray".

How was I supposed to know he was trying to solo an AV at the time?

Actually my (semi-related) suggestion would be to change the order powers are placed in the trays after a respec. Currently it places temporary powers in the trays first, I'd suggest placing powerset and power pool powers first followed by accolade powers and then temporary powers.

i wish it would not touch your trays at all, and if you lost a power that you had, it would simply remove the power from the tray, if you gained more powers they would not be added to trays

that alone would solve 3/4 of my problem with the current respec system, i absolutely hate having to redo my entire tray setup because i wanted to change a few slots or my epic pool with a respec

of course dynamic respecs, or respecs in which you could more easily manipulate what you wanted to do instead of doing everything from scratch would make me completely stop hating the respec system for any reason, but thats already been suggested multiple times

Yes please, untangling them is a real pain in the backside.
