Yay, finally! Mastery respec. You brought me back!

Sure, that makes sense. We don’t have a full-free-respec system. What are your thoughts on loadouts in a gold and skill-xp cost system?

Yes, that would help to facilitate a function that we aren’t attempting to promote. It’s like the Faction swapping. When we announced it, there was a worry that people would be switching back and forth like crazy. I think this is similar. We aren’t trying to promote frequent switching but want to allow “un-bricking” a character.

I’m not saying that a loadout system is impossible to do in the future but it’s not an obvious or necessary follow-up to adding an option to respec your mastery.

I’m going to push back on them being effectively free and even if they were, it wouldn’t “absolutely promote frequent switching”. It could under the right circumstances but I don’t think we have those. I think the premise of the argument is on very shaky ground.

As I said previously, if it does end up being a problem, we are prepared to make adjustments as we always are. We will be paying close attention to feedback and adjust accordingly if necessary.
