Question About Respec Tokens


Dasher

 

Posted

Just out of curiousity, what is the reason for not letting Respec Tokens be retained if they aren't used?

I rarely re-spec characters, but I ask because I have a lot of Veteran Award respecs I haven't used, so why can't people hang onto the "tokens" given with various issues, in the same manner?

Just wondering.

Because freespecs are there so that you can make changes to your character based on recent changes to the game. If you don't need to make changes to your character, you still get the freespec. If you don't use it, then you obviously didn't need it, so.... Why would you complain if it doesn't stack?

If you don't respec often, why does it matter if you lose a freespec you weren't going to use anyways?

lol.
I didn't complain.
I just asked why they didn't stack.
As I said, I was just curious.
And a verbal assault full of assumptions isn't a very nice way to answer a simple question, especially since it didn't contain any good reason why they can't be kept stacked to use later.
It was more of a "quality of life for all players" question.
Just because I don't respec all that often doesn't mean some other people don't.
I don't wonder about issues in this game solely based on how they affect just me.

Did you read a different post than the one I made?

I never said you were complaining. I never "verbally assaulted" you. And I never made any assumptions.

The "good" reason why freespecs don't stack is because they are there to fix your character if a recent design change affected them. If the design change didn't affect you (general "you", not specifically "you, Dasher" since you can't tell the difference), then you didn't need the respec. So there's no need to let you keep it should another come along later.

The devs seem to want us to have a limited number of respecs - otherwise we could redo the various tasks that grant respecs infinitely, getting the reward each time.

The one specific reference to you simply repeated what you said yourself. Not seeing any assumptions in there, let alone any verbal assault.

Tech-wise, it was (apparently) implemented as a boolean value. So it's "Freespec Available : True/False"

No room for stacking in that
