Respec feature addition

[Squid Vicious]

Can we add a feature to the respec process / screen whereby we can just GET ALL enhancements that have NOT been slotted OUT of the 'to be discarded' window and into available inventory please?  

 

IOs and Set Invention enhancements should never be 'discarded'.   :)    I think it's so tedious to drag and drop all of my Workbench Invention IOs to inventory in the respec process.

The issue with that is if someone has say 70 enhancements in their inventory already by passing the enhancement holder in the respec window would cause an issue in exceeding the cap.

Have a button 'move all enhancements to personal inventory' that moves enhancements into the character's inventory until the inventory fills up, then the player can shuffle any remaining enhancements with ones in the character's inventory until they're satisfied that they have the best set of saved enhancements they will get. If you wanted it a little slicker, possibly resulting in fewer swaps afterward, have the button move set IOs first, then special enhancements, then common IOs

I think the entire respec process is tedious so I simply don't do it, except for very rare occasions.

I think i have respec'd probably twice since I've been back in THE CITY.

 

I think there other other things that would be a better use of DEV time.

I think the devs are big boys and girls who can figure out what they want to spend time on on their own.

I'm in the "Ugh, respec"  especially if it's just moving a couple slots around.   And yes, that whole needing to drag the enh up to the tray if you're swapping all the generic IOs out.

Though really the whole thing could be done in a cleaner fashion, but that would require some new UI design and a few things.

 

In the meantime, bumping enhancement inventory up to 100 and the ability to just say "Shove all into inventory" would at least make it more bearable

Respeccing for slight tweaks to optimize slots sure is a pain.  Usually, I do these sorts of tweaks AFTER I have sets and don't need to worry about surplus IOs in inventory after moving things around.   Where a revamp to the respec process would come in handy for me is when a fresh new toon is about to hit 50.  My characters use generic IOs until they reach level 47-ish for sets.   I repurpose many of those generic IOs for the next alt I make - storing them in SG base storage until needed.   So instead of destroying these expensive IOs, I respec my toons to retrieve them when appropriate.

 

I do like the idea of increasing the enhancement inventory to 100.   It's a quality of CoH life thing, for sure.   Not sure how hard it would be to add three additional tabs/rows of storage though.   Meanwhile, I manage my respecs carefully by ensuring I will never finish a respec with more than 70 slotted enhs - since that's the maximum that can be stored in only 7 tabs/rows of inventory trays.   I often purchase a dozen+ unslotters to retrieve IOs to inventory BEFORE the respec.

I envision the requested feature could/should move up to 70 to available personal inventory and any > 70 would remain in the 'to be discarded' window during respec for now.  Increasing maximum storage to 100 (vs. current 70) would certainly be a long-term help.

this seems like a fairly standard QOL request.

OP's got my vote
