Veteran Reward Respecs need to be incorporated into this article. I will add it to the patch watchlist. - Snorii 07:36, 21 November 2006 (PST)

And the Patron respec for villains is not mentioned either. - Sister Leortha 11:10, 21 November 2006 (PST)

Can anyone confirm that no player can accumulate more than three earned respecs at any one time? Corebreach 11:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Earned through the respec trial? Yes. I've done all 3 hero respec trial many, many, many times ever since it first came out. None of my characters have earned more than three of them, total (1 per level grouping). -- StarGeek^{Talk page} 19:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I mean, if you get three from doing Trials, can you cash in a Veteran Respec and have it stack? The answer is not clear from the article the way it's currently written. Corebreach 21:17, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

It's been a while, but from what I remember veteran respecs are tracked separately from the "earned" respecs obtained by running the respec trials. Should you already have 3 unclaimed respecs from trials and decide to cash in a veteran reward for a respec, you will now have 4 unclaimed respecs. What I can't say for certain is whether the "freespecs" are tracked separately from vet reward respecs or what would happen if you tried to cash in two vet reward respecs before using the first one. I suspect that freespecs are tracked separately due to their non-stacking nature and vet reward respecs can accumulate in their own little bucket. --Eabrace 21:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm... Good question. Let me see... Log in, 4 unclaimed respecs (3 from trial, 1 free). Claim 4 Vet respecs, log out, log back in... Eight unclaimed respecs. --StarGeek 21:48, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, that answers that question. Thanks, StarGeek.  :) --Eabrace 22:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Indeed. Thanks! Corebreach 08:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Limit on Holiday respecs

I got caught by this one. I didn't know there was a limit to how many you could get and finally found a post by Zombie Man about it. -- StarGeek^{Talk page} 18:32, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Past Tense

Is there an accepted past tense form of respec? respeced, respec-ed, respecked, respecified, etc... I have seen a few different usages across the Wiki and the forums and wondered if there is anything that we use officially here so I know what to change them to when I see them. —Thirty7 15:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Respecified is what I've seen the devs use a couple times, but most of the time they word their sentences so that they don't have to use it at all. The majority of players seem to use respeced or respec'd that I've seen. ~ AGGE talk/cons 18:32, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I always say "respuc," but that's probably not going to pass as a coloquialism. (-: --GuyPerfect 19:22, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Don't you mean "respac" and then also use the phrase "I have respuc" instead to follow the swim-swam-swum model of English conjugation? —Thirty7 19:44, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Terminology

Regarding two recent edits, 229541 by Taosin asserting that "Character Respec" is the proper term and 229565 by Agge asserting that it is not... I just rolled a new character and looked at their Account Items. The respec is listed as "Character Respec". I then looked at the Paragon Rewards window and it lists them as "Character Respec" as well (and they are also called that in the Paragon Rewards article). The Thorn Robber Badge and Thorn Thief Badge both use the term "character respec", and Thorn Usurper Badge simply refers to "respec". The Respec Recipe also uses just "respec". So it seems very clear to me that "Character Respec" is a valid term. What is the basis for saying that "Power Respecification" is the "right" term? I'm unable to find it in any in-game or official context. It seems to me that "Respec" is probably the best title for the article since that seems to be the most consistently used term, followed by "Character Respec". -- Sekoia 09:24, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
