Swappable talent

 3rd talent system ... only 2 active talents at a time...
This would offer people more options for hunting/pvp and not having to "PLAY PD FENCER" to do any kind of hunting.

Great idea, needs a decent “buy in” cost. But this idea would be amazing

I think it will lead to less variety in builds actually. More people in PvE will use the most optimized spec to hunt - most people for PvP will use the most optimized spec to raid - while at the same time in those locations, you will see less variety and less non-optimized builds. This sounds nice from individual perspective, but it is bad from overall perspective

Could be a cash shop item or buyable with eks.

It’s three talents not four. So a ss pd would probably just end up as xel, ect. I believe a small cost to switch should also be implemented, say 5c, after the initial purchase. You need to be inside a building to change as well.

A 5c implementation has nothing to do with 3 talents. That’s a simple proposal to reduce the price of changing the talent from XX coins to 5c


(which could hurt current income for the server if the amount of talent changes doesn’t go up enough to compensate for the lower price)

I also believe the initial purchase should be 100+ coins. This would probably make people change talents more often, as we all know “micro transactions “ generate a lot of income.

Yes, lowering the price definitely will lead to more transactions. Your example of 5c means it needs to lead to over 6-7x more transactions though.


What I think will mainly happen, is that a few more people will switch 1/2 talent every now and then, for example once a month or even every 2 weeks.

Maybe a bigger group will change the talents to try something out - or to grind a hero set for example - and after that stay or change back. I expect most of these people would also switch for the current prices. 

I am therefore not convinced that it really will lead to a sufficient increase in talent changes to compensate for the lower prices, but who knows. I don’t have enough information/data to judge it - but basically this is what the fundamental decision of this idea is all about

That’s my stance as well, we don’t have the data. 🤷‍♂️  I’d pay quite a bit up front just for this option

Make it a premium option. Charge $20/month for 3rd talent. Or 20 coins/month.
