secondary Respec option

so i had an idea a week ago or so, maybe longer, for a second type of respec, a 'super respec' if you will.

basic idea is that you take a character, and re-pick the AT and power sets with out having to delete and re-roll and start from level 1 again.

i bring this up cause I'm sure I'm not the only one that has older characters that they had to 'settle' on, Blasters that should be Corr's, Scrappers that should be Brutes or Stalkers, and so on. or maybe you don't have many character slots thus you want to preserver your progress instead of starting totally over, or your in a themed SG and the people with invite powers aren't around when you are and you wanna re-roll.

a few things though. the 'contact' to redeem these should be in Ouroboros (for thematic reasons, since it would be rewriting your history), with a min level of 20 to use them, (i figure lvl20 is good cause you have a fair chunk of your powers by then and can tell if the sets are working for you or not)

anyway, that's my idea. a time saver and potential new source of money, cause i know i'd buy a few of these if they showed up in the market

I dont get why people keep asking for this. Isnt it common sense how horribly broken it is.

1. The devs have flat out told us this will not happen, and if a player wants to try a new power set they should roll up a new character.

2. The game is deliberately designed to be alt friendly and it would be stupid of the devs to undermine their character slot sales.

3. It is ridiculously easy to level up in this game. Getting to level 20+ can be done in an hour by running DfB/DiB's and even faster using XP boosters and 2XP tokens.

4. The only remotely legitimate argument ever made was by Badgers that don't want to lose specific badges that aren't awarded any more. And that argument could be resolved by the much simpler solution of making those particular badges account wide rather than character specific.

So /unsigned

search is your friend.....

This has been brought up numerous times in the past...with a resounding NO from players and devs alike.

edit:
know what, scratch that, there's no real reason they could not have made the ATs not be side specific sooner then they did. and 'settling' as i had to, to-many times over the years, has pretty much left me fed up with it taking as long as it did to get to the point where it should have been around I8 /vent

On this you are absolutely right. I know for a fact it was possible back then because I was in the same Hero SG on Virtue as Saros. One of two players that managed to find the loophole that allowed their Villain AT's to become Heros. "Saros" was an Elec/Elec Brute, and the other player I ran into ran a Ninja MM called "Master of Assassins" as I recall.
