I've got so many vetspecs and do the trials for badges I forget I even have freespecs. How many times dose a person have to change their characters?
We are getting freespecs today?
Enjoy your day please.
I'm a major altaholic on Infinity, KithDPine. I was planning some changes to my main hero and villain, and two or three other toons thanks to PvP IOs.
And yeah lol, I have 4 veteran respecs unclaimed on all toons... I just like using free ones... cause you know... they're free!

City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

I hadn't seen that until today, good thing I used all the freespecs as soon as the last issue hit 
Wow!! If That Announcement had been made in the ...oh gee...Announcement forum, and not the Discussions forum, I might have seen it.
Thanks for posting the link Silverado, or I still wouldn't have seen it.

A prevailing thought in that thread, Silverado, is that freespecs get a week's worth of warning before they are granted.
Hopeful, but I'll just go in expecting them to hit with the issue launch.

I think I used one across all my characters - I'm generally happy with where they are. Plus, really, with dual builds I've got an "undo" button.

Put me down for two, I think. Wait, no, I unsocketed and sold everything on an old 50 once. Three.

I heard about them this morning, had a house inspection, sat down this evening to spend today and some of tomorrow applying them.
Then the servers went down. Dang.
I burn through respecs as often as I breathe AIR. I don't know why.
I didn't see Friday's announcement until this morning either, so if today's early maintenance was for i15, then no, I didn't use any freespecs.
My lvl 48 dom is the only character I planned on respecing anyway due to the changes to doms and to earn back some inf by swapping out some common IOs for recently crafted set IOs. It would've been nice to have two shots at respecing her in case I goofed something up, but if I wasted one, no big deal, I'll just have to be more careful when I do respec her.
That said, if i15 is hitting today, having more than 3 days notice, and/or having the announcement in the actual announcements forum would've been preferable.

[/ QUOTE ] Same here. Last time I respec'd was about a week ago, on my Fire/WM tank. I had not heard this announcement and doubt it would have mattered at all. Sitting here I cannot think of one of my other characters that needs a respec.

I burn through respecs like crazy :3 except on a few characters though >.> my claws/regen and kat/wp scrappers been sitting on a few for a while.
I forgot to respec one of my characters, but I got the one that was actually ready for it.

I've got about 30 characters. One of them needs a respec, maybe two. I have about four vetspecs and I like doing respec trials.

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
Isn't the usual routine the issue goes live then about a week later the free respecs are issued? and not both at the same time?
In my opinion, the issue is more concerning Friday's announcement of: [ QUOTE ]
Issue 15 will be going live very very soon.
[/ QUOTE ] True, they weren't wrong. But there is normally more, and better quality, advance notice of a new issue going live than this.

Well, under Lighthouse and Ex Libris, we would get 7 days notice for a freespec, not 4. We'd be asked if there were any deal breaker bugs on Test that have to get fixed before it went Live. The day before, we'd be shown a draft live patch notes for feedback and corrections. And the day before, we'd be asked to compile all the guides for the issue to be ready.
If this really is I15, I will be *very* disappointed with the Producers and Community Service people. Very.

I didn't hear about the freespecs until Saturday night, but was too busy over the weekend to use them.
Got up for morning hoops and did a respec on a brute over breakfast (4:30 a.m.ish est), then left. Got back at 8:10 a.m. est and the servers were apparently down for I15 (guessing they went down an hour early?).
Trust me, love that respecs are free some issues and there was a warning - just wish we were told Monday or Tuesday was the day (I guessed Tuesday... I fail!).
Anyone else that got caught expecting more time Monday morning or that they had until Tuesday?
