Respec(t) and covers

Unknown

I think the recent changes in characters stats and abilities (C.Storm, Spidey, Loki) urge for a respec option and, IMHO, for some covers or HP compensation too, especially for those players who have already reached the 13 cover limit. Imagine someone, for example, who has spent time and money (HP) leveling C.Storm's Yellow up to 5, because of the extra red AP. Now that this is gone, the guy is in a dead end, since the extra 5th level is now useless (don't tell me that the extra damage can compensate that) and he could have invested that extra cover (or HP) in blue, for example. This gets even worse when the 13 cover limit is already reached, so that you can do nothing but cry about it.

These changes are good for game balancing, I know, and I'm also aware that the game is still on "Preview Edition", but devs need to realise that people are already spending money on the game and can get pretty mad with things like this. I wonder how someone who has payed to level Spidey's other colors letting pink only with 3 are feeling right now. This disencourages them to keep spending time and money in the game (which keeps making random and silent changes on prices and characters) and also non paying users to start doing so. Not to mention the aggressive price change of cover slots.

I don't know if there is a simple solution to this, but I think that if devs don't try to compensate that, the risk factor on spending money in this game will be proven too high for the effort...

I also agree with a paid respec of some sort.

ESPECIALLY because you can't even see ahead of time what x/5 actually does, so there's no way to plan your guy out ahead. That's why I came to the forum in the first place, to see what the heck max skills did so I wouldn't **** my characters after investing loads of time and ISO into them.

If they're going to be changing skills a lot (not just tweaking, but wholesale changes like with loki), they really should give us the option to respec.

There's very little potential downside to allowing respecs, especially if those respecs cost HP. After a certain point, high-end players are going to stop purchasing character packs (I know I have) and they're going to have little need to purchase heal packs or boosts. The only thing I'm interested in spending HP on right now is improving or fixing some of the heroes I already have.

I am in exactly the same position as the OP said, and yes, I am furious. I would have had 5 green instead of 5 yellow on storm. There absolutely needs to be respecs but even then, i already sold the two green storm covers I have. So after getting screwed like this, I am supposed to then wait another month to HOPE I get two more green storm covers, then after that you want me to PAY HP to respec?!?! That is just ****. Respecs should be free and everyone with a max level storm should be given all the covers to set it up how they want.

There needs to be free respecs after nerfs like this.

free respecs are never part of f2p games, simply because u lose any source of income as soon as everyone has 'maxed' out a character. respecs will most likely cost 100-150 hp to be viable. and if there's amajor change however, the character should be 'reset' or some such like an mmo but until a system gets put in place, its all just conversation points.
