Please allow dual spec or cap respec costs.

now that is just ridiculous. So this is not at all about how DS/AC swapping will enhance or damage the game, but how much you dislike the people who enjoy DS/AC swapping?! How childish can you be? Case closed. No reason to cater to YOU PEOPLE. /wink

MMO is not a magic description that moves some companys development or game playing ideals away from their previous product philosophies. Game being MMO only means that it needs a bit more flexibility than single player game but it does not force any company to do anything.

Wow dual spec is for casuals? That is just a stupid statement. Dual spec is fine and players should be able to do it because at most it lets you take heal/tank and then a dps spec as no class can do all 3.

I'm already planning to play all the AC's. Since the classes already have counterparts that are considered mirrors they still 'feel' different aesthetically. Sure I can plays my sage as the healer and my sorcerer the DPS but I don't want to. I see many groups LFG group healer or DPS many times. I would like to switch to help out these groups that are waiting to do heroics or flashpoints without traveling all the way back to your trainer, re-spec with costly fees than travel all the way back to the group and then all the way back to trainer again, re-spec to the your main spec spending more credits AHHHHHH.

Also what about the other tree the shared tree for each class. You can't say the shared tree plays the same for both AC's I don't see it. there was a post by Zoeleer that described 6 different play-styles for the smuggler. Don't remember the link I think it was on Darth haters site.

In most cases the "style' of the tree's don't seem to take effect until you put the majority if not all of your skill points in the tree like WOW and I hated that. I didn't feel like a frost mage until all of my points were spent in that tree. Same with the warriors etc.

Even in this game I don't feel like healer until well into the skill tree.


Always wanted the dual spec within the tree. Absolutely no re-spec for Ac's though as the AC play so differently from another.

Yeah...so this doesn't even make sense. But feel free to keep comparing apples to oranges.

The more I read those against it the more I realize either you people have never played mmos before or simply do not understand the concept of dual specialization.

It isn't like this is some profound or unique concept being asked for here folks. Can see plenty of examples of it in other mmos if you want to read up on it or see how it doesn't effect anything gameplay wise outside of allowing people to create two templates for them to use for two different styles of play.

Mostly used for PvP and PvE.

100k is not that much at level 42 when one spell at level 36 cost 22k !

and unless you are always respeccing its free most of the time

All US Special Forces are trained in both a PRIMARY and SECONDARY specialty. My Havoc Squad Commando IS Special Forces, so give me my Dual Spec!

Seriously, while I think more people would have more fun in the game with Dual Spec, I could even accept leveling multiple characters of the same AC/Spec if BioWare gave me more than 8 characters per server.

SWTOR isn't Skyrim - I can't make unlimited characters on my Server. When I group with others certain roles need to be filled. Certain aspects of the game (Warfronts) are really nothing more than "mini-games" completely separate from my character's story, and I should be able to participate in them how I choose without incurring a cost of Cr 200,000 a day to do it.

Congratulations! You're the one millionth poster on the internet to conflate tedium/timesinks with challenge/difficulty!

It's good that things are expensive, it means you have to work to get the good stuff and be above everyone else. WoW was ruined by the fact that every idiot could get the top level gear sets relatively easy and I feel the same about paying for respecs and the like.

If you have to work hard to be able to respec that's good.

Lol...yeah, I will never understand why some use that argument.
