refund points obscene cost.

Sooo after beating act 1 boss and receving 0 loot, i decided that minion where underwhelming and basically useless, so i said to myself time to respecc. I went to the hooded one expecting a reasonable cost like maybe 10 g per point. Noooo 228 gold per point and i'm level 17. After having spent almost everything to gamble for gear coze guess what, enemy drop no gear, i died like 4 times to 1st boss, not coze of dodging issue or incapable of doing mechanics, simply coze after 10 min of fight, boss was still at 60%hp and after 10 min of slog inevitably you tart making mistakes. My weps was a blue with a single affix same for charm or whatever is called. I'm guessing price will go up as i level so you need 4000 gold or smth to respecc at 17, fun fact currency drop is still 1 to 3 gold on avg. Having respecc cost is already stupid, and at this price is just idiotic. This is one of those mechanics like being able to carry 10 armor sets but picking up a flower makes you encoumbered. It adds nothing to the game is annoying and abnoxious. Once again must applaude FromSoftware coze carrying 1 or 20 armor sets makes no difference.
Make respecc free or cost a gold x point.
I'm starting to re evaluate D4. This game after the initial wow is starting to feel a huge disappointment. In 5 hour session of gaming is like 3.5 hours are spent jogging around and 1.5 actually playing. On top of that there is no rewards coze again, THERE IS NO FCKING LOOT.
So now the choice that are left to me is reroll char, stick with minion that are as much helpful as trying to eat a soup with a fork, or just quit.
I feel baited by developers i'm so disappointed. Thank god for once i was able to refrain myself from buying more expensive packs.

Imagine being a developer who has no good reason to make repecs so expensive.
Oh they come up with some lame garbage but no real good reason.
There are so many good reasons to make repecs free or extremely cheap but they are blind.

and there are more reasons not to make them free or super cheap

some permanence is important in an RPG.

What good reason? There is absolute no reson for it. Is just way to gate players keep them in for useless grind. There is no reason to block people from trying the full extent of the char they choose.
Stop trying to appear smart either provide actual reasoning or just save us from your useless answer.

i think there should be no respecs in these types of games once you reach endgame, and there should be very limited respecs before that, maybe once per 2 acts if the game is 6 acts long. or once per act if its 3 acts long.

if you allow respecs it makes it so each person only levels up one character per class, which isnt too long, which results in abandoned content, all the lower level content is abandoned and separates new players from any experienced players, making it so there are bubbles of social play separated in cliques based on when you leveled up whatever character.

the best way to not have abandoned content in lower levels is to give people a reason to always level up a character, and one of the best ways to do this is to make it so they have to level up a character to respec it.

its quite efficient, its what gave d2 the longevity d2 had.

Omg what are you even talking about? This is gonna be a season / league games, you start from scratch every time.

Respec cost should follow this formula;

10 + (Level * 5)

Congratulations, I fixed it. It's literally that simple. There is no reason for this to cost half your gold to respec 9 skills.

respecs costing a fortune is by far the worst thing in poe 2 tbh, especially in early access

let us just test things, isnt that the fucking purpose?

That's what we're doing, including testing the cost for respecs.

Respeccing should absolutely be very cheap in the beginning, maybe even free at the start. And then slowly grow more expensive. Because during the campaign ýou'll be testing new skills to see how they work etc.

Right now I'm stuck.
My spark was crap because of mana issues. So I spent all gold to respec to cast-on-freeze, which apparently has even worse mana issues. So now I can't farm any gold.


So I guess the only option is to quit until GGG comes out with a patch or smth.
