No, I dont want skill respec.
It would ruin this games main feature, that your character is what you do, your choices etc.
You can start a new char if you want other skills.
NO respec, PLEASE

If skills and mechanics gets updated so much, that you would chosen otherwise if you known about these.
Then yes, Large updates, that upgrades/adds character developments, should give a respect.
HOWEVER, I am worried that if there is a respec then, most players would not understand why you get a respect “only once”. But if the devs are strong enough to NEVER let players respec, other then in BIG UPDATES or DLC that has a BIG IMPACT on char development.
Then I even think its important that they give a respect ON BIG UPDATES. (not just any update).

No, it really wouldn’t ruin it. There’s exactly no reason that you need to use it if you don’t want to.
The issue here which I think you might not completely understand given your posts, is that there is zero indication of a level cap until you hit it, and a lot of the skills sound either very good or near useless but aren’t.
I encourage you to look at the aim speed skill as an example of this. The exact wording of the description is ambiguous, the actual effect is largely useless you really want to go around quickscoping everything (which is largely pointless BTW), and the possible alternate meaning for the description is something that would actually be useful. All in all, it’s a trap for new players, and if such things exist, then you should be able to respec without having to relevel. The issue here is figuring out how to limit it so it can’t be abused, but that can probably be easily done by putting a 12 hour (real time, not game time) cooldown on the ability to respec and forcing you to go to Yttervik (or a command bunker, or some other predetermined location or set of locations).

I have lost at least 3 skill points to skills which sounded good in the description, but were actually useless!
BTW, what is the lvl. cap? Is it 31?

31 is the level cap, yep.
How about just make the useless skills actually useful? Give them buffs or alter them/ad to them. Not saying I am against respec,I am actually for it but just fixing the skills is an option.
Perhaps another idea would be to do something like COD does and just have the option to prestige. Maybe even have it reward you with extra skill points after doing so.

That really doesn’t solve the main problem, you’re permanently locked in with whatever skills you pick. Even if everything is useful, it’s still very easy to end up with an overall useless build because you just don’t have stuff that happens to work together.

I think their intent was to have us use a different character to try different skills with instead of letting us respec. If they give us both the ability to respec and storage, there would be almost no point in having multiple characters sharing the same world.
I kind of get their idea with that, but OTOH, it’s a pain in the arse using a separate character like a respec, especially if you’ve already completed all the missions.

An easy respec at X levels would be easy peasy, every 5 or 10 levels.
Yes, Respec. Maybe tie it to a quest…?

I vouch for the Fallout 76 way: you keep leveling up, but from 31 on you can only reattribute points.
while i do like GZ the fact i have to start all over without the mission exp to help level op it will kill my will to play the game so i can live whit having to wait x amount of time in between respec
and don’t give me the your ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES if you don’t want to respec your character you do you but let us enjoy having the abillity to change our skills
i usually boost my exp gain and then respec my character after i get max lvl
because most games you either get enough points to get all skills or have a respec option

You can backup and remove your save files and start from scratch WITH mission exp, no?
while i do like GZ the fact i have to start all over it will kill my will to play the game and on that topic let’s just remove the ridiculous level cap
Yes, please remove level cap or at least add some more levels. At least for solo play gaming.
If they removed the level cap then we could have all the skills, and that removes the specialisation mechanics. If anything I wonder if balancing roles might help instead. That would be a huge job though.

Also many of the skills aid in battle, one way or the other. Killing robots would get too easy again disrupting the overall game balance.
They can remove the level cap for solo players such as myself and not let those characters join multiplayer I guess. I really find earning experience towards the next skill upgrade to be a big part of the motivation and fun so one my cap is reached there’s a whole element that goes away for me.
