The folks at Tabula Rasa have that they will be adding Respec Tokens as Control Point mission rewards to better allow players to respec their characters.

A respec was not given out with version 1.5, but we are still discussing if we're able to give one out to Spies (as they were affected most with the last patch). We are investigating what it will entail to do this, so please stay tuned for updates.

In our next publish (version 1.6), we are making some exciting changes that will allow players to fairly easily respec their characters. We will be removing the current Control Point mission rewards, which are simply Crafting recipes, and replacing them with Respec Tokens that can be purchased and used. One kind of Respec Token will reset your character’s attributes, and a second kind will reset your character’s skills. These will be available to characters of all levels, and will require a reasonably small amount of time attacking and defending control points in order to purchase the Respec Tokens.

We want to encourage players to experiment with different skill, ability, and attribute combinations. We want to make sure everyone will be able to easily adjust to ongoing improvements we make to skills and abilities for all classes, and adding an easy respec mechanism is a great way to do that!

You know..I am truly scared that Destination Games will catch fire due to the friction from trying to polish this turd.

Funny how they're looking to do a single class/line respec now for spies, considering they gave everyone a free respec with the Rage changes, even specialists who were not affected by the change one bit. ;)

Probably because Rage actually affected everyone that you were grouped with whereas this change only affects one class/weapon.

Also when the rage change came in, it was also when weapon grading came in as well as other changes... so it made sense then to give everyone the respec.

Regardless, this is the 4th month of release and this is the first time they're addressing class balance. things that were more important like 'hybrid races" were implmented first. The game is still to uneventful and unbalanced. It blows my mind that they would release this is such a poor state.

Oh well. I'll check out again in a year or so... if the servers are still up
