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.  —[[User:Thirty7|Thirty7]] [[File:Talk-Icon.jpg|link=User talk:Thirty7]] 15:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Regarding [{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|action=history}} two recent edits], [{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|oldid=229541}} 229541] by Taosin asserting that "Character Respec" is the proper term and [{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|oldid=229565}} 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". -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 09:24, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

:: From the store: "Purchasing a Respec Token will allow you to Respecify your Primary and Secondary Powers, Power Pool Powers and Enhancement Slot assignments.

::: While "Respecify" is clearly the proper official verb form of the word, and while you could certainly then extend that to yield the word "Respecification" for sentences that require it, neither of you have pointed to anything official that uses the term "Power Respecification". (And I suspect "Respecify" actually was used as the verb form of "Respec" anyway, likely without any intention of spawning the word "Respecification".) This page has as much to do with Respecs as it does with Respecifying, and most people are going to search for "Respec". "Respec" is an official term that can easily serve as a page title for the content of this article and it's what most people are going to search for... which makes it a far better title than "Power Respecification", even if you ''can'' manage to find some official context that uses the term.

:: Compare to [http://paragonwiki.com/w/index.php?title=Power_Respecification&oldid=211458 this], it's quite a nice overhaul.

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). -- StarGeekTalk 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)

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?

As I said above, would prefer Respec or Character Respec or as the page name, as these are the two terms seen in game: and used pervasively by NCsoft, and players. NCsoft do what is common, the define the term and then proceed to use 'respec' throughout all their stuff.

In about a day, I'll go through the article one last time; as like lots of authors need a break to spot things amiss in something just done. I'll match the tenor of the article (still full of unneeded 'respecifcation' to the presentation within the game and stuff.

Still, the revision is worthwhile and a lot clearer than the old page, isn't it? Taosin 11:49, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

I honestly don't remember what the old page looked like {sheepish} But, I can't imagine that the new one isn't an improvement. A ton of the really old pages are... well... ugly and poorly written. I, however, lack some of the knowledge to fix them properly, and don't see myself beginning such momentous undertaking. Props, Taosin, for doing this, despite the terminology discussion. Sekoia, my point on the term Respecification being used was simply what I stated: respec is an abbreviation of a term. But, then again, we have "Proc" as an article name... so you officially have me on board to make the page just say "Respec." (Not that you really needed my approval.

Compare to this, it's quite a nice overhaul. As for respec, as I was saying above, it's not really an abbreviation any more. It has become a word in its own right. Such is the nature of of a living language. However the point is a bit moot to the issue at hand since we're still agreeing, lol. -- Sekoia 19:10, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
