I think the current system could do with a change.
1: When you do a full respec of your choosen skill or change it for a new one you should get back the same amount of points you have already earned for the new or existing one.
Example - I remove 20 points from Rive with the unlearn skill option I should then have 20 points ready to go when I change skills.
2: I don’t really think the +skills on items removal/re-add is consistant or works as intended as I have reported this in game before when testing with Hammer Throw specifically but have noticed with other skills. This can also weirdly lead you to be down a point or 2 and end up having to re-earn them the same was you do in example 1. I know there is a system in place as it’s repeatedly pointed out by a specific casual player on these forums but it actually doesn’t work properly.
Respec - points should be fully re-allocated upon changing skills for a respec / gold cost can stay that is the norm for games but regaining the points is stupid.
There might have been past reason to have this system in place but now with the current builds, skills and power creep there isn’t. None of the meta’s require respec’ing for a boss or echoes. It’s not just top meta’s its a shit ton of builds that are all capable of killing uber and farming high level corruption.
Fuckit, since they put in mastery respec they might as well carry on down that slippery slope & go full D3/4 & have full instant respecs whenever wherever. “Build permanence”, identity & choices mattering clearly aren’t important (anymore).
It does, the only thing that doesn’t work about it is that the nodes that had points removed aren’t highlighted anymore (apparently they are offline, quite why this is a difference I don’t know). As has been explained an uncountably large number of times (this is sarcasm btw), the nodes that have their points removed are random(ish) such that the tree isn’t broken & some other parameters which I can’t remember.
That wasn’t related to the reasons, which have also been stated an uncountably large number of times (also sarcasm).
And the thing here is Raxx has 426k subs man so if he’s saying a lot of people have this issue or dont like it then its not just 1 or 2 lol, he gets a ton of views on his videos but they won’t even take that into consideration when it comes to their game and how to attract players. They should (the devs/Judd) ask him and Kripp and Darth, “hey come play S5 and stream it for us” (probably nicer than that) this game could be so much more popular.
Let’s be realistic, nicer than that would have to be something like, “Hey, here is a $100,000 cheque, please stream our game and get your sheep, errr we mean followers, to come and play it.”
Not even saying that’s a bad thing, this is how the world rolls.
Well if their job is playing a game to make money then it’s no different to sponsored posts on instagram by companies via “influencers” - you want audience reach so pay them a bit, rather they spend a few bucks for a bunch of players than keep losing players every single league until the peak player count on day one of a new season is 0.
