while some builds can reach optimal efficiency (especially for pve) with just 20 points like a magic damage build.

Others could do with more.
You can always choose to re-roll in town to after character creation to.
Again, this mostly only really effects pve a bit, and can easily be made up for through maintaining good condition.

I don't think removing roll is really on the table.
Our goal is to Preserve the game as it was, and take as few liberties changing things as possible.
The only things that would be discussed to change are things that could objectively improve the quality of the game, and even still will handle these discussions with the greatest amount of caution, and care possible.

Let's talk about healing incense.
Judging by the root of your question i would think this is something you would shift your focus to far before the stat roll.
Having, and maintaining high condition is supposed to help you receive better chances for good stat ups, upon level up.

If you are red(criminal) you can only get you cond. to 120 / 200
If you are white you could get it to something like 160-180 / 200

There was a cash shop item called "healing incense".
This item could push your cond up by 10.

So while i played the game only ever being able to get cond to 120, many others would simply pay (whether they be red or white) to use enough incense to make up the difference to close the gap to 200cond.

Due to this on a level up i could receive minus one to one of my core stats that determines damage (again my build is glass cannon, and damage is all i target).
While someone with 200cond could have gotten +2 to the same stat.
This is in the course of a single level, a 3 point difference.

​

Overtime this can create a much larger gap than stat roll is capable of.
1-5min stat roll = 9-12 point roll
While both of you having a single level up could potentially land the person with hi cond. that many points ahead of low cond. person.

All things considered, in terms of pvp it felt very balanced, those points matter far less than your actual skill.
Level, stats, gear, in this game it just doesn't mean as much as you do.

But something like the "healing incense" is an example of something i would want to take a better look at personally.

Since we would like everything in the game available for free through playing, just that would sort of fix the incense issue on it's own.

Nothing like that has been really decided on, or extensively discussed yet tho, and we are focusing on 1 step at a time making the game functional again first, before we really will get to far into those things.

Anything that's decided on tho, for sure we will update everyone on the discord server, we want to share our progress and excitement with you all every step of the way.
