State of the ruined wasteland of Fallen Earth

Because a complete respec would take all the challenge out of specing your toon.. w/o respec's you have to plan out your toon and every decision takes thought(one of the things i love about f/e this idea is seen throughout the game) If it were as simple as gimmie a free respec i think it would take alot of the fun out off building a character. this isnt champions online where the communitty controls every single thing in the game, dev have alot more control in f/e.. ( i loved champions just thought whining community and constant game changes plus lack of content ruined it after the first month..plan to go back to champions in next 6 months to see how its progressed.. till then f/e is where il be and i recommend checking it out, even if it is for just the first free month..

while the two commentors above put it somewhat nastily, they have slightly good points - the main point though, is that in FE your training doesn't only affect a few skills - where you put your points has an effect on your crafting, etc - so a full respec would inevitably have to make you start your crafting all over again as well.

Whereas their current method, a few points per use, means you can back out of a bad decision, but not have your character majorly affected.

The problem with the "no respeccing = you have to think about your decisions" angle is that it puts a huge crimp in the developers' ability to fix/change/balance things down the road.

Because "thinking about your decisions" leads to choosing the most effective combination of skills/abilities/talents/whatever, which are, by definition, the ones most likely to be made LESS effective if the developers are actually allowed to work on balance.. so what are you supposed to do? Go flavour-of-the-month and then reroll every patch, like in Diablo 2? Go for middle-of-the-road stuff in the hope that it is effective enough now, and not likely to be nerfed in the future?
