Respec Changes

[wjrasmussen]

Last night I got on a level 50 character I hadn't played since last March.  Looking at it, I noticed half of the slots were empty.  Then recalled I had an interruption during the respec and lost a ton of enhancements (they can be replaced).  Annoying yes.

 

Afterwards, I finally decided to respec my first character on homecoming.  Didn't lose any enhancements this time!!  A major annoyance is the power trays.  I really wish you wouldn't populate it like that.  I would prefer you don't change them except for power that aren't selected during respec and let me deal with that instead of this large amount of work to do.  I am aware that power trays are likely wiped at the start of respec but it doesn't have to be that way, you could keep a list and ask at the end to use it to repopulate the trays.  There could be a import/export thing too.

 

These are for discussion purposes only not a request.  Discuss.

I'd be happier if I all unused enhancements started in inventory and I could move them to trash.

That would be great!

Ack. It would be, but the number of enhancements at 50 exceeds our 70 enh limit.

Via hotkey. Like control click or something.

I just screenshot the UI before running a respec, then /cleartray and repopulate.  Not ideal, but, not awful.

I swear I remember Matt (Positron) saying that the trays are stuck at 70, and any more would "break the game". But, it was a long time ago, and I could be misremembering. 

And yeah, repopulating the tray is annoying, but /cleartray is a great start for me. 

Good tip on taking the screenshot of the power tray before hand! 

[Hardship]

I remember to screenshot RIGHT AFTER I complete the respec.  I need to get a better process for remembering that tip!

I'd like to be able to drag and select multiple enhancements and then drop them all into the same power at once.

I always take a picture of my trays with my phone so I can put them back the way I like them. I use /cleartray then open up powers window and drag and drop. By lvl 50 I have up to 7 power trays that I use for each character, so its not a small job.

I don't respec unless I have a Mids build ready and waiting on a separate window.  Even with that, I mess up respecs.  I've had to back track several times.  And on a few occasions, I had to respec my respec.  FML

[DoctorDitko]

I wish there was a respec-lite that let me move slots around!

Several times I've added a slot to a power, only to discover that it doesn't accept the enh I had planned to slot it with.

 

These days, I'm more likely to make a new build, rather than respec.

It’s always slots that get me when I magically have an extra one and am like oh I miscounted and proceed to see zero slots in powers only after I complete

I don't have mids or pines.  Don't know which one is up to date.

I would love to be able to just move slots around because that is mostly what I am doing unless I swap out a power.  This would be great.

 

call it Reslot!

https://midsreborn.com/ is the current one.

I've usually spent so much time tweaking in mids that I have it memorized, and then I still have it open in a window next to me, and I still mess up a lot and backtrack... and then I see something I want to change in the order I take the powers, and backtrack again.  And then after I'm done respec'ing I change my mind and respec again.
