Garena is adding skill tree resets as a micro transaction in 1.1.3. Thoughts?

Personally, it's not game-breakingly harmful enough to bother me. I have more characters with full respects available than character I have the time to play.
10/10 would buy.
and now the demand for Orb of Regrets has just died in Garena.

Not that I care, unlike the people in this thread and on reddit having a fit over this lol.

Nah, Bandit respecs and poor people will keep the dream alive.

But it's only Garena PoE, so who cares?

It's not like there are Asian market players of PoE on Garena who have to play on Garena and not the main PoE servers because of internet there and other reasons.....even though they'd like to be able to play on the PoE server.

It's certainly not ruining their experience of PoE with P2W.....

Let me correct you right there. Any new player who isn't on google's DNS servers will automatically get rerouted from the international website to the fuck-off version if they type in www.pathofexile.com

So no. They really don't have a choice without some roundabout method.
While I don't like the idea of being able to buy full respecs, a high price and a limitation that prevents it from being used for snapshotting will help keep it in line. Needing regrets for bandit quest changes and for people who don't want to pay $20 for a respec should keep the price from sinking too hard. Given that this is an experiment in the eyes of GGG limited to the Garena region, I feel that Chris considers the full respec to be skirting the line for their definition of P2W and will see how it goes.

It clearly pay to win. I could add here many examples related to events and this microtransaction or even in normal leagues...

I thought you were definitely against pay to win. It is another server, right. But I do not understand that clearly reject something and then give its approval. That seems to go against their own beliefs...

Disillusioned, not because of GARENA, even for the desynchronization and other serious problems. Disillusioned about people who say one thing and then retracts.


We get these kinds of respecs at least 3 times a year already. We also get them when they reset a classes starting area, or do impactful things to the passive tree.

While I personally wouldn't like the idea for it on our servers, it wouldn't change much anyway. It simply would make your characters you messed up useful as something else. It's not pay to win, it's pay to skip forward to a respec.

Dear GGG, you break the vow of making a game that is not pay to win. Even it is not on the main server, even it is not game breaking, this game is now officially, pay to win. What would you sell next after passive reset? Maybe a slightly drop increase, say 20% item rarity buff for 10 days? Or a slightly chance of chance a unique using orb of chance, say additional 1%? You are killing your game by allowing Garena do so.
FUCKING FIX IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even gave Garena Kaoms on creating account on Garena server, I would never play on that server.


Now they also give micro-transaction points by gathering a skull point thing.
Pandora's box has been opened.
