maybe i haven't been paying attention but are there many power changes in i14?
not that i'm moaning about a freespec, just thinking i've missed something....
I think it has become the standard now. Copy+Paste from old notes. As I can see there are very little power alterations, but a freespec is always gratefully received.

There are some PvP changes but that's it. BTW there will be new IO's Especially for PvP use as well.
The pet recharge changes I guess. I will have to use it to respec my mastermind to remove some IOs from pets.
Slightly unusual that they're giving it on the same day as I14 comes out; they normally leave a few day's gap so people can't waste it before they get a feel for what actually needs changing.
Edit: Fixed typo
should be at least 3 freespecs :P

Pretty sure that the only thing that they usually do is give forewarning.
On at lest one occasion the devs gave a frespec without forewarning (and on the day of an issue release iirc) and then gave a second a few days as people had succesfully made a case that they should have had some notice as was past practice.
So I think that they're giving warning now so that they can again apply the freespec at launch, but this time no-one can object.

Issue 14 is just around the corner, as with many powers changing Issues we will be granting (1) free respec per character, on the day that Issue 14: Architect is launched.

Not respec'd since dual builds, but wouldn't any character affected by changes possibly need 2 respecs to sort out both their builds?
If so, isn't it about time that the freespec limit rises to 2 (in hand at any one time) and that they grant them in pairs?

would make sense 2 builds per character = 2 freespecs

well they said they would give pre warning of the release date so SGs could prepare for the super leader thing and there's been no sign of that so far.

IIRC they have given an immediate respec for the new issue then one a week or so later after the patches etc - Non-stackable as usual.
Also as I understand things you get one respec per character rather than per build. In other words, you get a freespec on each build.

I believe it was the Issue 4 or 5 release, where it was stated that there would be no freespec with the release of the issue, prompting me to delete a character that was really annoying to play and not close to the level of even being able to get a respec in game, and then a couple of days later they released a freespec for the game's aniversery.

Yes, I take it the free respec relates to re-slotting as opposed to the motive being new powersets.

Greetings Players,
Issue 14 is just around the corner, as with many powers changing Issues we will be granting (1) free respec per character, on the day that Issue 14: Architect is launched.
This notification is to give you at least 7 days notice that a respec is coming!
