I’m trying to respec my level 30 character but i cant reach Crucible lvl 5. Now i’ve practically bricked my character. I’m stuck in a Catch-22 situation so please let us respec without reaching lvl 5 of the crucible.

Was in the same Situation bro. luckily I could somehow deal to finish cruicible lvl 2 and got the “skip 2 echoes” thing, that made me reach lvl5, but without no chance.
Should be available when you hit lvl 30, agreed

respec should not be too easy. otherwise people will just never really build new characters or realms, and just use 1 and respec them with every new weapon they find.
which can be nice, but also takes away replayability.
and i am sure u are not bricked. make sure u have your gear upgraded, enchanted, gems slotted and you build optimized with what u have. reroll enchantments or enchant different weapons u can use etc. lvl 5 is reachable. i am sure u can do it.
having it at lvl 30 does not solve when people are bricked earlier tho. by the time u are lvl 30 u should have enough options to get to lvl 5 no problem. by then u have tons of armor and weapons, gems, money and resources to enchant upgrade and so on.

that has nothing to do with reaching level 5 in cruicible. if they want make respec harder, it should be with higher Fallen Ember costs, but not by challenging a bricked build. you should not start a new character because your build is bricked.
and yes there are possibilities when you screwed up your build, because you didn’t get the right items or had no idea about the stat system.

i like having it in the crucible, also lore wise. i would be against the respec statue just magically showing up in town when u reach lvl 30.
and i also remember a time when trial and error was not a bad thing, but actually encouraged people to work with what they have and improve further. i really do not think reaching level 5 in the crucible is a non breakable wall. i mean u made it to lvl 30 after all. so again, u do have enough gear, materials and stuff to upgrade and improve to get to that 5th level. plus as u said, u get echos as well. so i personally do not see much of an issue.

You can for sure use some temporary weapon to reach level 5.
I agree there should be some barrier to respec our character. But i think it should be more accessible.
For example, let the ability to respec be available once we discovered the Crucible. From what i saw on YouTube, a statue will appear at the entrance of the Crucible after it’s unlocked. So let us access the statue when we discover the Crucible but maybe change the pricing and currrency somehow. Maybe change to a currency and amount that is obtainable even for “bricked” character.
I’m lvl 30 and all my gears are lvl 12. I cant upgrade anymore because it wants Torn Sinew. I split my stats too wide i think.

I don’t, I don’t want to play roguelike modes. No one should be forced to play endgame modes they don’t like because content relevant to the rest of the game (like respec’ing) is only available in that specific mode.
If someone didn’t enjoy plagued zones, but that was the only way to respec your character, they would have a valid complaint. Same should hold true for the crucible.
but thats not a barrier, u get access to the crucible quest technically with level 3 or so lol
ok, i get that point. i just think it makes sense lore wise. cerims are special, so is the cerim ruin and the first crucible. so if cerims are inherently able to respec, it would make sense its there. for me it would just seem off it u reach lvl 30 and suddenly a statue manifest itself in town.
Yeah, I agree a statue appearing out of nowhere would be a little odd. Maybe the statue could just be in the entrance to the crucible, instead of partway through.
I like what the devs have done with moving exalting. Maybe something similar could work for respec as well.
but then u technically have it from lvl 3 on and everyone will just respec with each weapon drop they get. i really get the point and see the frustration with this topic. it also comes up a lot, so i see the people who feel this. but no alternative anyone proposed here really fit in my opinion. respec should be late/endgame, it should matter lore wise, and it should not be so easy u take away replayability because it can be use anytime.
edit: ok should i design it right now, quick and dirty: make it a danos project for sacrament. after at least once entering crucible ruin and progressing crucible quest a bit, and another late game story has been completed, danos will talk to the cerim. he will tell them he studied the old ruins and found a way to recreate “ancient” cerim statues. then u will have to provide him with rare resources and start the building project. then u get the statue in the rookery, or outside crucible.
but i can already hear the “i hate timers this is mobile game BS” people and we need to find the next solution lol
Yes then it it be available for players from then on.
That way players can respec their character anytime they want. But at a cost of course.
bruh I stucked at crucible after breach update as well (which I did beat it like when I was 20ish before breach update) but I just finished the whole story and farmed some pestilence now I can easily farm crucible so if you don’t wanna farm it but need to respec you can do the same nothing is forced in the game you just have to follow sidepaths sometime
If players in general do not like the timer, then it means the timer is a bad thing that players do not want.
Same as every aspect of the game. If its something that a vast portion of the community do not like, then it needs adjusting or taken off completely.
At the end of the day it’s about meeting halfway, like balancing the game. If the Devs feels that timer is a must, then still have timer but find a middle ground to it.
An example could be that if players want it to finish instantly, maybe they can use more materials. The more materials the faster. That could be one solution but im sure the Devs and others in the community can come up with more alternatives.
But at the end of the day, we as the players will ask for things we want in the game, as its the Devs job to come up with a balanced solution so we can all meet halfway.
Yes but i have to complete lvl 5 crucible first to unlock respec right?
But im having trouble getting to lvl 5.
So have the respec function be available from when the crucible is discovered.
u sure u answered the right person? i am the one saying crucible lvl 5 is possible, especially if u already reached max level, and respec should NOT show up from the start at level 3 
respec so early just completley breaks the understanding of some of the game mechanics. when u get a weapon and is scales with STR u level str, then u find one that levels with dex, then u respec to dex, then u find a staff, then u respec to int. u never really commit. u never really feel the whole vibe of the game atmosphere, lore and mechanics of using whatever u get, and making the best out of a bad situation. that does just not fit.
why do u need level ups and stat points then? just don’t level and don’t spec, so u can use everything from the start. u don’t have to bother weighing options, or working with what u have or around cursed gear.
i can see a point in people wanting to play a RPG not a rogue like and therefor do not like crucible. ok thats fair. but then a lore fitting option needs to exist.
but just saying u can’t get to lvl 5 in crucible with a max level character who likely has 3 chests full of gear, is not just unrealistic, its also no reason to have respec anytime from the start.
choices should always matter. and u should always have options to work with your choices. and that u already have, u have upgrade, infusions, enchantments, enchantment reroll and even respec! (even tho it can be late. i heard people reaching level 5 in crucible waay wayy earlier than max lvl) so in my personal opinion its not something that is impossible to do or this huge unbreakable wall.

Im sorry but just how bricked was this character that you cant get to floor 5 at level 30? Like how did you even get to 30 in that case??
I swear I dont say this to be mean but, this is far more a player issue than system. Improvements may be needed but definitely not for this reasoning.
