Given that many users were not aware that you can reduce certain attributes from the default setting of 5 so that you could add them to a different attribute - I think we need at least a one time do over for attributes. I guess in my mind why only give the user 5 points to distribute - all attributes should have been set to 1 by default and allowed them to set things up properly from the start.

I noticed you cannot alter them with the respec option - that was a 2nd idea of mine. If you respec you essentially start over and could respec your attribute points. But I tried it on a player and found that is not part of the respec option. Only skills and ability points get reset. Attributes and Traits are not reset.

We discussed attributes starting at 5 on the test server. The devs felt that 5 was a baseline and that's why they start everyone out there. If you drop at attribute below 3 it can really cripple a player and if you start everyone at 1 then many people will make that mistake unknowingly.

As for including attributes in a respec, not gonna happen. The idea of the respec is to make a minor modification to the player. Changing attributes would basically require the player to be reset to day 0 since changing attributes affects skills so dramatically.

I rerolled all my guys (a lot) . You can too...

and honestly, my second iteration was a lot closer to the 10/5/5/5 than it was the first time.

guess I didn't pay that close attention to the attributes and what they all impact. Meh - I'm sure the first batch of players here will be as awful as the first batch in GLB classic so I reckon I'll play it out and see how it all works.

I appreciate the responses! Makes more sense to me now.
