[DONE] Respec : Yes but done right without breaking the balance

[Rocket]

See a lot of posts and questions about it. And it's very popular (understatement) on featureupvote. We've been considering how to do it for some time. We just want to make sure it's done in the way that still makes the consequences and tradeoffs of decisions worthwhile and meaningful.

The working theory is to have you spend exotics.

It's not something we want to rush in. Im sure in the short term it would make people happy, perhaps even bump up our review score - but *rushing* it in would be very bad long term. We will do this, but we will do it right. After the rocky launch the last thing I want to do is do a poor job of respec and break the game.

Lvl cap 30! No talent/tech tree resets...

i overall love the game. at every aspect.
but there is one thing. i know its beta but why stop at lvl 30 it should be able to just lvl and lvl up what so if we cant spent the points for lvling up. but now i am stuck in lvl 30 with points idiotical spread around the chart.. should be a reset way

Yup. I don't understand level caps in games like this. I am one of those who like to unlock everything and being limited sucks. As it is, I will have to make multiple characters to test things out before I can make a final toon with the build I want.

I would be good if there was no limit or if you kill X then you can unlock X amount of levels.

I was unaware 30 was the cap. thats sad to hear with such a big talent tree. Hopefully will be raised to a point where we could max 2 trees atleast or a healthy mix.

*Don't want to level multiple chars personally.*

[Jaregon]

Hang up. I just now noticed theres a combat and construction tab with even more talent trees........ bruh 30 talent points is no where near enough at all. Even if lvl 30 is cap, we for sure need ways of getting more talent points past that.

Level 30 is not the cap, they haven't even stated a level cap, however receiving tech and talent points stops at level 40.

This is a survival game that is meant to be challenging, though the stats on some things make it easier than it should be. If we were to get talent points for every level, this game would be far too easy.

[Jaregon]

40 points seems better but still small in comparison to the sheer size of a talent tree. Especially since it requires 11 to get 1 specilization skill of a tree. Builds are fine and all, but even 40 is too little in my opinion to the point id rather we be able to choose 2-3 specilizations at char creation then slowly fill said specilizations in as we play. over seeing 80% of the skill tree's that I won't be able to touch. *Even tho most of them won't be useful.*

While I agree it should not be easy if you have 240 talents to choose from 40 is too low.
And then on the other hand if you play solo since the blueprint points stop at that point as well you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥. They should add points till at least level 50 in my opinion or even 60

Weirdly enough, I was able to make a partial stone/wood collecting and blade wielder build with some alright extra boons.
My only gripe now after sitting down and scanning over the talent tree for a good 30 min. atleast 50% of the talent tree is point traps that give little to no benifit besides just eating your talent points, or having 2-4 other skills in the way of a skill you do want.

I used tally marks to represent skills I'm building towards, and the build should work. though I do wish I could have like 20-30 more points to sprinkle around elsewhere or somethin.

The idea is to force teamwork. That said I would like it to be possible to get everything also. It should just be a slow process but possible. Say level 1-30 normal current pace, then greatly reduced after that. So persistent play has rewards. Or Remove solo tier and uncap solo so that the 1-30 is only for multiplayer.

[Jaregon]

id love that idea. id be vibe with talent points just taking longer with each one. And I can also tell the game is built heavilly for co-op play. Similar to ark's mentality with the blueprint trees

Although sadly theres no public option to get together with others besides just freinds. And you can't change a build once it's made since you cant reset. So the game pushes this weird mentality in my opinion.

Gathering related and tool related skills are top notch, makes getting basses and tools made quickly, either solo or for a group.
then tools to help with your gathering to be even more efficent.
Then a little blades, or spears, or bows. whichever you prefer to help a little in combat.

I could understand deviating from this line of thinking, but since i have limited points and, i love to gather mainly. it rail focuses me into my job role. Would be cool if I could help elsewhere. but just not enough points.

I think talents and skills should be levelled up. The more you shoot a bow the better your proficiency and damage. Same goes for crafting. Persons that spend a lot of free time in game will have high proficiency and crafting skills.

[Jaregon]

ooo a proficiency idea aint to bad either. *I would be a master wood chopper and miner XD*
Least then you could always feel like you're getting better somehow from doing tasks you already would be doing.

You could also still have talent points if you wanted to say push your proficient level higher ahead of time aswell.

reset skillpoints

Please let us reset our skillpoints for 100- 200 currency.

I started to play solo, but now i found a group and my skill point on solo now is wasted.

[Azel]

Will there ever be talent respec?

When i started i put 3 points into solo tree and now dont want them. Lvl 35 now. They just wasted now?

[Thief]

I mean talents are one point I am more worried about the tech tree. Since I think there is where you will be missing points if you do the game solo.. :(
