You just refuse to even acknowledge other's arguments. And from my PoV they're as valid as yours, if not more.

Bandits can be build defining. And there are good builds in pre 2.0 that seem destroyed beyond salvation in 2.0, like EB/MoM/CoD incinerate with faster casting as cruel choice (a rare choice).

Except for bandit rewards define a build playstyle, cast speed for example actually got buffed. If they can't or dont want to do EB\mom\cod incinerate (even though there should technically be no reason they couldnt still do it) they lack the leveled skill gems to do another spell anyway. So what exactly is the plan here, give everyone bandit respecs so they can completely change whatever they want and have no bearing on past choices ever because GGG is changing up stuff?

If he still wants to play a spell caster, which technically he should if he enjoyed the playstyle of the pre 2.0 incinerator then his bandit choice doesn't need to change.


"rich excuse" I'm not rich, I don't have mirrored gear or 100's of exalts in my stash. I just play the freaking game and know its completely realistic to get the regrets needed to change the bandits if you feel for some reason its necessary.

I mean GGG has never given players free bandit respecs in the past and I don't think they want to set a precedent here either.

I'll not bother replying anymore because its simply a waste of my time to argue against something that won't be added anyway.

20 regrets is not much for me atm and I didn't want to respec my rewards because I always choose the passive and kill all bandits anyway.

My only concern here was how you treated others in this thread and how broken is your argument in some places.
For example where you say who wants respec should pay the price. You realize they doesn't want that respec because they like freebies or whatever excuse. They don't need excuses at all. GGG is the one who should excuse them for changing their game so much that it ruins some builds. It's not about the bandit rewards for most people. It's about the principality of this particural situation.

Also your other argument is that this situation where there was no respec is constant from the beginning and should remain so for all times is just wrong. It was wrong from the beginning to have no means to change something so important for those people who wanted it.

They don't need to have it ready in 8 days. They can deploy it later in a mini patch. As you said many will start new characters anyway. Even more people will be in that situation as soon as they realize that their old char' got broke with the Awakening patch.
There will be thousands QQing. Not me as my characters will not be broken, but newbies that doesn't have experience in character building and their chars were barely viable as is.
GGG is benefiting from new players mostly. At least half of their revenue is coming from them I think. Now if those players belong to the former category I imagine they won't be happy and likely to quit or stay but chose not to support the company any more. They would be right, because why would they want to when they just get f***ed.

I could continue these reasons till judgement day, but I have a trip tomorrow and I don't want to ruin my mood further by arguing with boneheads.

PS: I do play as much as I can, but I have a life and a job too and imagine many of those who support the OP also have limited amount of time they could invest in playing this game.
I can't grind 24/7 like you probably can. ...

Goetzjam I already solved your bandit respec problem for you remember? It's quite easy to do, all you need is an mtx that activates the book recipe, and bang, you're done. Couldn't be simpler. I'm also a level 95 character and would like the bandit respecs, and have said so from the beginning of this thread. I just won't cry if I don't get it -- I can afford to change one persons bandit choices if I need to, and most of the rest of the chars I have, I don't care much about -- so really I don't need these respec options.

To me it feels like you aren't just disagreeing with the premise that we should have bandit respecs because the bandit rewards were tweaked but rather a much more aggressive "Bandit Respecs: NEVER!"

I think all bandits should be reset also, (bump for great justice) :)

I also agree they should reset. It's only standard ladder anyway.
