One "Full Cleanse" Per Character

[PendragonTheNinja]

I don’t know if THIS specifically has been talked about before, but I think it would be incredibly helpful if each character came with a single-use full cleanse that can only be used after hitting level 50.

Somebody playing through the game for the first time might put points in things that don’t work with each other because they have less knowledge of the game, and end up with a more balanced character when they might want a specialized character. (Miner vs. Hunter) I believe it is much more beneficial to choose a specialized over a balanced character. Choose a character to be a Miner, and then maybe make another character to be a Hunter. The full-cleanse would be a wonderful reward for hitting 50 to use your acquired knowledge of the game to choose exactly how you want your build to be.

Personally, I have multiple skills that I would roll back given the chance.

Thoughts?

This has been discussed before, please see:

More cleanse points while in pre-1.0

Hey @james @luke-turbulenz, I have a suggestion for you, it would benefit both sides (devs & players). Since we’re in pre-release stage. It would be beneficial for you to give us unlimited cleanse points. Players who have maxed out levels or are above level 30 will have very little chance to give feedback on different skills/builds. I’m level 33 now, and with recent crafting balancing, I won’t see next chance to adjust build in some time. The only alternative would be to take alt account (I hav…

And the last feedback from DEVS was:

@olliepurkiss

We’re wanting feedback on two things around this system at the moment, one is how it is to level up, craft your character and play the game in representative way, and the other is testing all the skills and combinations.

The first one requires limited re-speccing, whilst the second on is easier with more allowable re-speccing. So we find ourselves with competing desires. Given that, we won’t be offering unlimited or even very frequent re-specs, but we will be allowing you to fully re-spec, and to do so more freely that we intend for 1.0.

I am confident in the cleanse point system for 1.0. We can debate whether the cap should be 3 or 5, but the system (imo) works as is, and I’d rather not mess with it too much. There are two extra features that will be added at some point which will affect this:

Multiple Characters
Full re-speccing

The first is in progress at the moment, but it’s quite a job, and so it 's not imminent. We’ll keep you updated on how that’s progressing. The second is still up in the air, as we’re still to decide whether to implement a system which is close to what we want for 1.0, or whether to bodge it. We will definitely allow you to fully respec in the next couple of major releases though. Possibly by just wiping all the skills that you have and refunding you all the points, or by implementing a button to click.

Also, there is a reskill coming in a few updates as some stuff is changing I believe

If this is the case, I am quite happy to hear that.
