I´m not certain sure about it me either, questions like:

- If u don´t use it in 2 lvls u´ll lose it?

- If u make a new char u will got no respec or just 20 and 40 ones?

- Wot does a lvl 50 got? Only 1 full respec?

It would be interesting to post it on homepage along with the changes in the patch as soon as the patch´s live. At least u´ll have less appeal about dog/son/mum/etc used the respec wrongly.

Thanks a lot. :)

Existing char will have a full respec

if they level twice they lose it.

All chars (new and old) will gain a single respec on hitting 20 or 40
You don't get this if you're keeping your full respec.

Now I'm not 100% sure on whether if yer level 13 when patch comes in if you still have your respec at 15, or if you lose it when you ding 15 - am seeking clarification :)


but remember:
don't respec
I like my character the way it is
I do not have to respec

:)

ok example:
I am lvl39. I will respec this level.

I ding 40 decide I don't like my new spec, do I have another respec available (upon dinging 40) to do so?

yep, as long as you spend it at 39

if you are level 39, patch comes in, you save respec
you ding 40, you still only have the one full respec. no single.

also the one you get at 40 will be a single line respec and not a full one...

Hello,



The European servers of Dark Age of Camelot will soon be patched to the 1.52 version. Among the numerous changes this patch will introduce, your characters will be given the chance to re-specialize and, by doing so, get the skills points already invested back, allowing you to re-distribute them as you wish.

This option, awaited by many players, is however to be used with great precautions. Many players on the American servers rushed to this new option and, because of their haste, made mistakes and were disappointed in a permanent way sadly.

Here are our advices about the coming re-specialization:

1) You know your character and, no matter what you think about the skills he currently has, you are used to it and used to the 'play style' coming with it. By re-specializing in new spell or combat skills, you will lose the 'knowledge' of your character and you may think that he has become 'less powerful' in a way. While this may only be a question of feeling, you may still be disappointed by the changes.

2) A common mistake while re-training your character after a re-specialization is related to the 'trainer skill panel'. This 'skill panel' appears when you right click on a trainer of your class and will list the points you need to spend to gain a level in this skill. Be sure that the number displayed on your 'character skill panel' is the one you want! If your 'training panel' show 23, it means that your character has 22 in the skill currently and that you will need to spend 23 points to get to 23 in the skill.

3) Many websites offers hints and even character trainers to helps players. Some websites like http://daoc.catacombs.com are very detailed and, if you are planning to use the re-specialization, we advise you to be very careful on how you want to do it, to read as much as you can about your class on the internet, to talk to your friends in DAoC, to your guild. Do not rush blindly and re-specialize, if you are not sure, do not do it, you do not have to re-specialize! Take your time, think about it, your character may be very good already, and, instead of making him more efficient, re-specializing may actually make him weaker, or even make him a total stranger to you.


The message you need to remember is this: be very careful if you decide to re-specialize your character, there will be NO second chance if you do a mistake. Also, remember that your account is strictly personal and that you are responsible for it. This means that we will not take actions in case of reports such as 'my husband/brother/bird/cat' re-specialised my character!


If, after all, you want to re-specialise your character, please note: We will not under any circumstances revert your character to your previous specialization.

Wishing you a good time playing Dark Age of Camelot.

Regards,
 
P

The mail,
The posts,
The news,
The FAQ,
The players contacted,
The E&E spamming about it,
The annoying warning in-game at your trainers for a couple days after 1.52...

I don't think we could have done anything else to warn everyone about the respec. If you DO screw up your respec, well...hmm...I don't know about that but what I know is that you will not get another one even by inventing the most brillant excuse ever created by man... And no, things like: "sorry, I was getting some coffee when suddenly a tornado came, ravaged my house and pushed all the buttons on my keyboard respeccing me badly!"will not work :)

I'm afraid to log on now Kemor....
I think 50% of your player base will need parental support to even dare walk close to their trainers after your "ph33r teh respec"-campaign.

Kemor, any chance we could get your opinion of respec and auto trained points, there so far isnt really a 'clear' explanation of this, and it does affect many classes. The following is a link to a SB spec thread where we have been discussing it with quotes from Sanya over at Mythic, GOA's rightnow and VN board threads.

http://forums.barrysworld.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36971

I have also asked some midgardians on Excalibur to test it for us in the following thread.

http://forums.barrysworld.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37362

Obviously I can understand all the warnings being made about respec and a policy of 'Sorry, you were warned, it is not possible to provide another respec' However, this is a bit tough given that not every base has been covered, and the 'mechanics' of respec have not been explained completely or clearly.

This has been further compounded by the apparent difference in Euro respec when compared to US respec w.r.t how long you have (in levels) before you lose your respec.

In the US version you must use it within 2 levels, "so, if you are level 22, and you want to respec, you will have to do it before you attain 24th level."

http://www.camelotherald.com/more/447.php

While here in Europe according to the most recent monday news, you must use it within 3 levels, "Joe Bloggs is level 44 when we patch to 1.52, he therefore must use his "/respec all" ability before reaching level 47, or lose it.

http://www.camelot-europe.com/news/newsarticle.php3?id_article=468

Sorry to keep this discussion alive, but until I am satsified that the explanation of respec is 'clear' or I am able to test it myself (not possible since Prydwen is never avaialble on Gorre) I am not going to be able to use respec. And as such am missing out on a large aspect of the new patch :)

Best regards all :)

I'm confused, I just came back from Gorre testing my lvl 50 RM. I only got the /respec all and not the 2 spec respecs.

I thought lvl 50s got all 3? I was a little annoyed since I had 2-3 specs I wanted to try out :D

Since you are level 50 you do not have the level 20 and 40 respec's, since these can not be saved for later.
On the other hand, had you been level 39, done a Full Respec then dinged, you would get the level 40 Single Line Respec.

Had you been level 19, done a full respec then dinged you would have gotten the level 20 Single Line Respec and once you dinged 40 you would have gotten that Single Line Respec as well.

Ah! Finally someone catching this :)
Ok, there was a small mistake and indeed, you need to use your /respec all BEFORE gaining a second level. So, if you are level 31, and you want to respec, you will have to do it before you attain 33th level.

Will be corrected everywhere I can. See? Respec IS complicated :)
