Dual Spec. Still want it.

That is pretty much what 90% of QoL changes are.

Right now, you have to manually change:
Action bars
UI setup
Talent Spec
Alternate gear (if applicable)

There is no reason this cannot be done with a single click of a button. It makes it less tedious -- therefore, this is the perfect example of a QoL fix that isn't terribly difficult to implement.

I agree with you 100%, just saying that it's the cool thing now to hate everything about WoW. I know people that hate it and have never even played it. You just can't talk sense to people like that.

You also have the Bioware fans. To them Bioware can do no wrong and how dare we even suggest they might have been short sighted and left a needed feature out of the game.

Then, you have the trolls, that just post to try and cause arguments. I'd almost think most of the against post were trolls, as this game is full of them. General chat in game is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time, sometimes I wonder is this SWTOR or Idiocracy Online.

These are the only three reasons I could see for being against what is really a need feature at this time.

I do not remember the devws EVER saying that they WOULD be adding dual spec. I'd love to see your proof of that.

Old, old topic.

Aurozia: Will there be a dual specialization system in the future? Will there be a possibility of changing advance classes as well?

Daniel Erickson: We have no plans for switching advanced classes - which we see as fundamentally different class designs- but dual spec is in the works and coming soon.

Kiper: My question is are you still considering some sort of dual talent option, and if so is there an ETA?

Austin: This is definitely a feature we hope to provide in the future, but we don't have any details to share at this time (including an ETA).

I get that people don't want a WoW mimic... but all MMOs mirror each other in some way or another. There are no "original" ways to present an MMO. You have a character sheet, action bars, abilities, and talents. Wow has drakes, we have speeders. People need to get over the WoW association and understand we are asking for the GOOD things in WoW, not the dumb stuff. Although, we already have an appearance changer. We just want something that makes respeccing seamless and easy.

In WoW, you paid one time to "unlock" the 2nd spec, and set up your talent tree, action bars, and glyphs according to that spec. Then, when you have to go from DPS to Tank on the fly, there is no "Hang on and let me waste time refilling my talent tree and setting my bars back up". It is literally click, 5 second cast to activate, refill resource and GO. Anyone who would object a dual spec concept has obviously never played an MMO that uses it successfully.
To all of them I have to say this.

Answer me this. Why is it when people want something like dual spec, it is opften justified by somethign along the lines of "WOW does it" or "It's an industry standard", but when it comes to something like class changes, the WOW comparison is dismissed and it becomes "who cares what WOW does?

simple.

the reason why is that people like choices. if following one model allow a new option to come forth, then people will revere it;however, if someone chose to use the same model as a form of absolutism and block/denied any new option to become available then people will rebel against it.

so altogether, people like use wow dual spec as it bring something new to the table, while they will also rebel against anyone who use the wow model as a the word of god and try to denied them more option to play this game.


it is quite simple to understand.

You yourself fall into this category, unless I am mistaken.
