RE: Importance of attributes triggering repetition?posted in Discussions & Feedback
@gothix said in Importance of attributes triggering repetition?:
It will prevent respecing to them at a later point in game life, because people can only "copy starting builds / sets", and roll their characters based on currently known cookie cutter builds (which is by the way 0 at game launch, and will remain 0 for a long time till people get more knowledge and experience), but over time new builds will get discovered (or become available by new skill additions to game, or balancing patches).
Theorycrafters will figure out the cooking cutter builds during the alpha and beta.
Reaching all 400 skills will take major amount of time, and by the time people will have many skills unlocked, and then they figure out some new build to respec to, they will not wish to reroll anymore, because they would lose all the knowledge gained then. This is why at that point there will be no more "changing to a meta build" (instead people will roll an alt to play other type of character, as they should).
Hardcore min-maxers don't care about completionism.
Leveling up all those skills to r3 will take a major amount of time, and that will prevent people re rolling. This is exactly why people should have several alts to play different types of characters (and why it will make sense to purchase several extra alt slots if you wish to play several types of characters).
With 3 base character slots + 3 from the KS, it's probably possible to have an alt for every conceivable build possible. At that point rerolling isn't even necessary anymore. Just change chars whenever something else becomes FotM.
It will take more than that imo, but, even if it would take 2 weeks, this would still prevent most people re rolling like a mad man every time they wish to play something else.
I am sure the most dedicated guilds will boost those alts to get their skills leveled to lvl 3 asap.
Besides 2 weeks (which is a long time to waste for re rolling) you also lose housing, learned professions, etc.
I believe housing is account-wide. Also, you don't need professions on each alt per se. Just use your main to craft items for your alts.
