oredith Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 anyone else find it troubling, that the merc AC did not get a free respec? i think it says something when the devs took a look at all the changes to the merc AC, and said to themselves "nah, that's not enough of a change to warrant a respec".. in fact, only the merc / assassin (commando / shadow) did not get a respec. and the assasin / shadow class had no change at all.

oredith Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 You get a free respec every tuesday... srsly i'm not talking about the cost, i'm talking about the mindset of the developers. they gave everyone else a respec due to changes, but left out mercs because apparently our changes are as minor as the assasin's visual change?.. seriously?

Gethsemane Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 im pretty sure thats just an oversight, they are, after all, only pts patch notes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatlos Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Honestly, I have NO idea why you're even concerned with this in the least bit. If you don't like the way your skills pan out after 1.2 patch day, just re-spec for free. It'll be free that day, I'm pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're nit-picking. You're going to get a free re-spec on patch day anyways. The fact that they didn't explicitly type out that you're going to get a free re-spec on patch day like you always have doesn't mean that they don't care. Why does it even matter, since YOU'RE GETTING A FREE RE-SPEC ON PATCH DAY anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigheadbrandon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 well honestly it doesn't look like they really changed much from the merc and shadow trees to warrant a respec, so there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cegenaus Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 the fun part is how they nerfed all three of the trees in merc so we have nothing to respec too. like ive already said, im rolling a *********** marauder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazule Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 link to support your position? how would they change the tree on your character without removing the applied points? here is the link that supports my position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oredith Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 how would they change the tree on your character without removing the applied points? here is the link that supports my position if BW had used logic in their "balance", we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Yazule Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 if BW had used logic in their "balance", we wouldn't be having this conversation. the logic is that i do not believe they can change your skill tree without clearing it first (i am saying the mechanics of the code would make it impossible i would never give bioware credit for being logical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oredith Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 just like to come back to this, and point out how 100% right I was, and how 100% wrong the doubters are. "oh, must have been an oversight".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't 100% correct though...you said all other classes. I have 2 imperial agents, Merc Bounty Hunter and Sith Inquisitor. Only my agents had talents reset. The other 2 classes did not...probably because the talent trees really did not change as far as what you would take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siega Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Got a respec on all but my BH merc. I am wondering now, if the respec is bugged, so points shows like they are used, but the spec is actually empty. Would explain how badly I have played the last day since 1.2 went in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockexxi Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Dev post on the matter. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=3873880#edit3873880 Essentially, their metric for giving a free/mandatory respec is if a skill tree adds/removes abilities or changes the number of points required to fill out an ability. It has nothing to do a random dev having the opinion that your spec wasn't changed enough that you might want a respec to move points around.
