Respec Passive Skill Points is way to expensive / Currency Drops in Campain were bait..

Hi Guys

Congratulation to the great EA Start. Very fun game as expected - far more difficult then expected ^^


I got to Maps yesterday, and my build was not working. So i wanted to try something new.. then i realised i cant respec the tree because its 3500 gold per Skillpoint. And it stays that way - is no scaling for the last one and it gets cheaper or so. I have 150k gold and its not nearly enough.

And we dont have orb of regrets to respecc anymore so i would have to farm 3-4hours in Campain to respecc (a guildmate did that yesterday..)

Please check the Price-Scaling - its EA - "you can try something and respecc it with little gold cost" was the announcement..





A few things were clearly wrong announced - pretty sure they will be fixed at some time but was a bit disappointing:

- Currency drops: "we want you to spend the currency - dont keep Ex, use them!" first acts i got some scripted Ex-Drops but its way to less to "use them, try something out" - and Regal are not enough too for that.. Felt realy baited into wasting currency. Better keep them and buy stuff on trade!

- "Check out the mechants in town for upgrade" - so expensive...

I do causal respecting time to times, there is more than enough gold to do so, especially if you're selling yellow items. I guess full respec is supposed to be a bit punishing, still it's much easier than farming 100 regret orbs.

Trouble is, the trailers encouraged experimentation with the tree an also encouraged crafting.
But you either disenchant all the stuff you can't use for crafting materials or sell them for gold to respec your tree. Worse yet, if you find one cool item for that you have to change your tree and also change your other items (e.g. resistances). Running every zone in the campaign multiple times takes the grinding in grinding gear games a bit too literal.

This will probably lead to just more cookie cutter builds there people follow guides for preexisting guides because having to fix your experimental tree is too expensive and time consuming.

Being that this is EA and they are constantly changing and patching things, it would definitely be reasonable just to have really cheap respec costs for now. I would hate to have my build bricked then grind for days on a broken build to respec.

I second this. Especially now that theres isn't really a league, just the launch of the game. The problem is that they won't be able to increase costs later if they decide to do so, as it would cause an even bigger uproar.

It isn't supposed to be punishing thought, they said they are making it so you aren't locked into a build, and they said they want you to craft, both are currently lies.

For the state of the game and the needs to try different options, the respec cost now is too high.
