Patch 1 to reset stanzas and SP

[borg9]

**** HEALTH WARNING ON SP RESETS ****

From past experince of SP resets.... People WILL make errors buying back stuff!

For Example

I know many crafters who after a reset bought ALL the plans for Melee weapons and didn't buy the Craft melee weapon skill!!!!

This ment that they couldn't craft !!!!

So my advice to you all is .... DON'T RUSH!

IF, a big if, they do reset the spent SP. Don't rush to the trainers and buy a load of skills. Rebuild you character, as if you had just gain a new sp.


I would say there won't be a second reset for those who have 'bought the wrong skill'!

The reset, if there is one, is likely to be only in the magic tree. Harvest may get one as the stanza are also changing.

Neun's Golden Rule, wait and see what happens..... I may not happen, or worst it may not happen as you expect it to happen.

If it comes, it will carry an at you own risk warning.

I am sure this wont be the last skill reset. I see so many wrongs in Patch 1 that they will likely rebalance it again, and again, and again. I don't remember how many skill resets I went through in AC2. I think it were 4 or 5. AC2 allowed to untrain your skills too, slowly.

As Neun said, be very careful what you buy after the reset or you will mess up.

Skill resets have the negative touch of being able to respec. But most people will respec to the skill they know were the best BEFORE the patch. Which likely is not true anymore AFTER the patch. So how can you be sure you don't do any mistakes? People on the test server are only low lvls, so how it will work out at higher lvl nobody knows.

I am considering putting my main char to a rest for 2-3 days after patch till everyone got their skills and ask around for mistakes not to make =) The skill descriptions can't be trusted really.

There will be a full reset of all SP. Quote below is taken from the US forums (cerest is the CSR there) :

Patch 1 we will reset ALL stanzas and restore skill points for all skills. This is because we're changing the costs of a large number of stanzas.

But... hey... I have no regrets... Im quite satisfied with my char as it is... any chance *wishful thinking* they just skip me in the reset?

What will happen to my start harvest pack i bought with fight SP. Will i lose this? Will i have to start the harvest tree from scratch?

So when will patch 1 go live?

I agree its great news, but would also like to know a date for this happening if possible.

[andymon]

Aye, need to know when to park up somewhere really safe....

I disagree. Could you explain why it ruins MMORPG's?

Since you asked,

And yes this is a personall view,

After any respec there is a move towards standardised charecters, Varitey is lost , the game becomes duller. This happens every time a respec is handed out.
So after 1 respec 80% or so , of charecters will be built to the same pattern.

After another , 90% or so.

And people who dont conform will be ostracised, called gimped, etc.

My own personal point of view is i like what i have done to my chr, i have bought some duff stanzas but thats life. im happy to plod along and make do.like some have said, just coz its all given back it doesnt mean you will get it right this time does it. oh well better start jotting down what i had and work out if i can still get that with the new sp costs.
