As far as all beta-testers and all who started TR know -
to (partially :) remove grind there's an option to Clone your character.

Usually it's done before path selection (i.e. Soldier vs. Specialist).

so, the poll is simple - do you like that system or not.

''Silence is golden and talk is cheap. I''m poor, so make with the discussion.''

I think it's a excellent idea. Why didn't anyone else think of it?

Its a fine system, but its not adeqaute as a skill respec.  If it had both it would be great.

It's an excuse for developers to be even more lazy with content design, that's all.

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt

I love it! Makes sense in a sci-fi game and is a terrific idea!

I'd list it in my top 5 favorite features since mmorpg's were born.

I havent messed with it yet but I think the idea is great. Createing new players and doing the same quests and missions over and over again just to get to the fun stuff is very boring and time consuming. Im glad they have a way around it wanted.

Yeah its a great Idea but as far as i know (from end beta) its the only way to respec  your skills and thats no good seeing as you kinda need to repsec a lot in this game as you level up, for example to become a Ranger you first have to be a soldier(a close up fighting sort of tank) while ranger is a class that tries to stay at range and cant really take too many hits so once you upgrade from soldier to ranger your skills are gonna be all screwed up and your gonna be a class that needs to stay far from enemies but all your skills are used for close range fighting at this point your screwed and you have to use one of your clones and move all your gear to the new character and its just a hassle, there needs to be a way to simply respec  not clone your whole character.

I use to actually think advanced graphics made a game great.

Mark my words, this game will be listed as a game ahead of its' time later on. This is very casual friendly and actually thinks about the customer's health, social needs and everything else that is healthy for you.

I wish every other game figured out that people don't wanna sit at a computer until hell freezes over leveling 3 level 50 toons day in and out (mostly raid games).

Cloning = wonderful.

It makes those weekly"Well, it's raid time, so lemme respec" situations go away. You have to think about how you want your character to grow.

I *DO* think that when you clone, it should also reset attributes, if only because different trees really can benefit from attributes you have under-vested points into.

we try and can persuade developers to do attributes & skills reset when cloning - when the Clone system will be more effective..
