NC Soft’s popular title City of Heroes will now have a micro transaction system built into the game. The micro transaction model will be made available for character respecs.
While available for purchase services are not new to the game, the ability to purchase a respec is. While creating a character and leveling it through the City of Heroes world, a player has a multitude of powers they may choose from. Respeccing the character allows this player to re-select their powers from their chosen primary and secondary powers, including any other pools of powers they may be able to use. The respec does NOT however allow a player to reselect primary or secondary powers. This feature will function exactly like the existing respec currently available in the game.
This micro transaction respec may be purchased at the in game store found at the character select screen for USD$9.99.
While there are a number of in game methods for respeccing a character, NC Soft sited that a growing number of users had requested the feature. Players spoke, and City of Heroes developers listened. Now, if the player so desires, a respec is available for a small fee.
Once a player has respecced the character, they must visit a Respec Contact in game in order to use it, just like the current respec process requires. Respec Contacts includer Jack Wolf in Galaxy City and Arbiter Lupin in Nerva.
