Huh.

I made a few characters without fitness (or at least health/stamina) for bragging rights purposes and self-challenge. So much for that. Otherwise, "yay!"

Also, "yay" for Apex! "yay" for incarnate slot! "yay" for harder endgame content! "yay" for boobie physi-

... oh, wait, they didn't announce boobie physiscs, did they? Aw =(

ok while i thought about it i guess i could be ok with inherents now but why not more love to redside still..and ofc

'Alpha Strike' task force for Alpha enabled characters - Apex is the contact

erh??

First off, let me say, I've never had these OMG, I can't handle the END Issues, issue, that other players have had. However, that's not to say I didnt take Fitness by 22/22 either. I did! This is just saying those who have the "OH NO" before Stamina, and still complain afterwards.

That said, I love the news! this will make filling out my concepts so much easier if they do it the way I think they will!

Swift/Hurdle at level 6 (1 slot, enhanceable)
Health at level 14 (1 slot, enhanceable)
Stamina at level 20 (1 slot, enhanceable)

Yup, it won't be freeing up slots, but I don't care! This will allow me to take powers on builds, to fit my concepts! I know my Stalker will love this for the PvE Build!

Physical Perfection (not only a concept power, but a great one at that), Fast Healing (I had to skip it for Health to make room for other concept powers) AND FLY or HOVER (I kinda want her to be a SLOOOOW flier, but still able to just a bit).

Though is this for i20 or i19? I really hope this is for i19!

i19 Fitness is Inherent! Would be a cool issue to be just for this fact!

Another good reason to make the Fitness pool inherent is that the 4 powers are extremely generic, and are the kind of physical bonuses you'd expect most superpowered people to have anyway.

So does that mean that they'll start working in Kheldian forms now?

Ok own up . . . . who here is in i19 closed beta and hasnt let any info leaked yet?

Actually, "Alpha slot tied to lore? Cool!" was a knee-jerk reaction. Now that I've though about it some more, it will be cool if:

There are multiple paths to unlocking it. As in, multiple story arcs. For one thing, running the same arc on every 50 will get old very fast. For another, judging by some of the more recent content, I doubt they will be able to come up with a single arc that suits every character concept. And I really really REALLY hope it has absolutely nothing to do with Statesman, Recluse, or the whole Origin of Power garbage. I would like there not to be another major piece of canon that I have to ignore because it's stupid.

Secondly: As for CoH 2.0 being a completely new game, I most certainly hope not. For one thing, how are they going to make existing characters work? I'm sure a lot of the loyal vets are attached to their existing characters, and have a lot invested in them. If you tell them they have to start over, will they? I don't think I will. The game can't afford to lose those loyal vets.

And this talk of a signed NDA to get into i20 closed beta has me a little...worried. What are they worried about? Are they worried about an i13 style leak and resulting exodus on a bigger scale? Again, they can't afford to lose those loyal vets. ED made some people quit, true, but ED also came with a whole new "expansion" that made a lot of people return and a lot of people join, and we just haven't been getting much of any real substance lately. We get new shinies to make people come back, but nothing to make them stay. And you know, when ED hit there weren't any other superhero MMOs. I'm hoping our devs are smarter than that, and these "super-secret" changes are being kept super-secret for the same kinds of reasons closed betas were introduced in the first place, combined with the "start low, then power up rather than start high, then nerf" philosophy.

As for signed NDAs, nice try. I can see why they're doing it I guess, what with the massive increase in mothership raids and multiple leak-fuelled "DOOOOM" posts during GR closed beta, but face it, the people who don't respect the concept of an NDA still won't.

I don't know what's funnier: The retarded amount of Inherant Fitness NERDRAGE in this thread, or the fact that almost everyone is overlooking the fact that we had NO IDEA what this will do to slots. Will we get more? Will we still be stuck with what we have? Have to wait until Monday or Tuesday, and hope the Devs/OCR tells us (unless they say something at PAX tomorrow... >.>)

Runner Up LOL: "The game is too easy!!" xD
