STOP RESETTING THE SKILLS AFTER EVERY UPDATE!

[LyteSpawn]

Man, this is so annoying. Every time an update comes out, they have to reset the whole skill tree. I hate that so much. I hate having to re-allocate my skills, because I'm afraid of choosing different from last time. Why can't they just give us an optional skill reset?

Because skill tree changes tend to require a reset if you have allocated any points into areas that would be affected.
I believe optional resets are already given out in other cases, I've received them on some chars.

As always, 1.3. put it that way:

Due to substantial balance changes, every existing character has been granted an optional full passive reset. To use this, click the "Reset all Passives" button on the passive skill screen. Note that you must use this before allocating or refunding any other points otherwise the option will go away.

If your routing breaks through changes in the tree, you'll get a forced reset, yes. Value changes only don't bring forced resets.

It's not every time an update comes out, it's for larger passive-tree-affecting patches, which usually is only every 3-4 months. Since the last such update a month has passed and we've had 8 additional patches (counting only those which affect the version-string), which did not reset the whole skill tree.

Yea, its pain in the ass that you are forced to reset skills, and you need again to chose (if you can remember) again your passive skill points on your older characters.

It can be annoying the first time, but after that you have no excuse, and it is a good thing.

You have no excuse because you KNOW points will be reset - screenprint your existing tree or write down what you have chosen. Or even better, build your tree at poebuilder and save the link.

It is a good thing, because often you can try another entirely different build without creating a new character or using a hundred regret orbs.

The first time it happened to me, I was upset also, but now I look forward to tree resets.

If it was optional, no one would cry, but as it is forced, normally that some people (including me) will find it annoying. Anything that is forced on players can be negative, and in most cases is.

Unfortunately, this is a common negative thing in most always online/mmo like games

Unless the tree has changed it is optional, over half my characters still had their passives in place, only the duelist, marauder and templar(and a ranger because i speced in to the duelists side) were forced to respec, and lo and behold, i gained more damage and survivability on all of them bar the ranger.

Unfortunetly people don't like change...the get lazy and complacent and don't like thinking which will get you killed in this game.
Those that get on with it are those that flourish.

lol @ 5crubcore vvhiners complaining about resets.

[CyberDown]

This guy has no clue how awesome that skill reset is.....

Instead of having a well skilled character you need to delete because so much has changed you can now make it whatever you want, any type of character. its awesome.

Also, you cant change the skill three then keep old characters skilled.

Seriously i love the resets, Ill have a set of character that i can do whatever i want with, without having to start over.

Sooner or later tree will change and your old characters will be forced to respect. As someone said, you need to take a screenshot of your build to remember what it was about, if you did not played him for longer.

Not that much about laziness or thinking(as you are building the same character again), as it is more a annoyance with the reset. But as said, that is the common problems with this type of games, and it is what it is, a small annoyance for some people.

Not to dismiss this concern, but you could also check the character's equipment and skill setup, which should make it pretty clear.

Ya, I always play my ranger (highest level character I have) and he hasn't had skill reset in quite a while. My other low level characters probably do but since they are all under level 20 it doesn't really matter because I'll probably pick different skill paths on them if I ever go back to playing them.
