Is the panel still going on? The question running rampant is will fitness still be slottable?
First, I would like to add my cheer among those who are celebrating that they won't have to work in Stamina anymore.
Secondly, a bit of interesting news that wasn't on the list, I19 is scheduled for live in the fall, but apparently I20 is scheduled for Beta next week.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
Oh that is awesome news i need more info must ..... Have......more.
YAY! Fitness is becoming inherent!
I wonder if this is going to be some sort of "Feats" system added to the powers.
The potential makes me drool. Hell, even just the announcement makes me drool!
WHOO!

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
The only problem I see with making fitness an inherent is the thought of having to respec 50-60 characters - not looking forward to it.
I also wonder about the mechanics behind it - are they going to give us all 4 powers for free, or just pick one of swift/hurdle for us? Will they be slottable? Are they just going to give us stamina? If the powers are not slottable, then where am I going to stick my miracle/numina unique's.

I feel kinda sorry for them.
They got all this stuff to talk about and all anyone is doing is going, "ZOMG! INHERENT FITNESS!"
I am not looking forward to respeccing most of my characters...luckily, I tend to stick with just 12 at a time. >.>;
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

The rest is awesomegravy, awesomesteak, and awesomepotatoes. Granted, yes, everybody loves these things, but when there's awesomesauce, people usually just stick to raving about the awesomesauce.
Be careful not get any spilled on the groovypants.

See, Protectorites don't need this option, we *know* what happened to Dank Astoria already! *smiles at Rasta!*
Don't get me wrong, I'm chomping at the bit for the fitness club to drop their membership fee. It just seems to me the Devs would wish people were more excited about the stuff they've actually been working on.
For those of us not in the US what exactly does fall 2010 equal to month wise?

Probably before November. Maybe. It's Soon™.

Y'know what? For this, I am looking forward to the respecs. Going through all that to pull one power seemed like too much effort for too little gain for me, but four? Abrahms is supposed to be a soldier, a tactical mind behind a brutish exterior, yet I have never been able to give him the Leadership pool. Nutronious has Leadership! The frigging science nerd can lead an army, but the soldier can't?|

Beyond that, I'll finally be able to give him back his hand clap! Six YEARS after I rolled him up I can finally give him the ONE power that I chose Super Strength for, yet I could never justify giving him because he needed Stamina. Every time I've respecced him in the past I have looked for a way to fit that power in to no avail. Almost a dozen respecs have gone into this one task, hell it's even one of the reasons why I swapped from Invulnerability to Will Power.
I could give the Happs and McGavin travel powers again. I don't have to try to explain why a D&D style book nerd mage has been hitting the gym, or at least has the effect of it. I don't have to worry about where I can fit Stealth in on one of my newest characters, or how tedious it would be to continue to replenish some temp power version of it. I never again have to worry about taking powers late or out of order (something that has always bugged me) simply because they simply MUST have Stamina, or they will never be able to keep up with a team.
I for one have NEVER EVER enjoyed the Fitness Pool and I will drink to this game's long life the day that they finally, finally lay that demon to rest.

I've always seen it as a painful requirement to function without dropping blues left and right.
And really, without additional slots to compensate, it's not really going to change character effectiveness. People will just get more of those little abilities or have to distribute their existing slots further, dividing their potency.
Except in those cases when characters actually had slots to spare.
Heck I can finally give My widow Lyrina a travel power. Go from 55 mph with Ninja running to max land speed with Super speed. 
Then it's a decision of a few unslotted Leadership toggles or Combat Jumping with something else. Decisions, decisions, but in a good way
Lyrina Kyton- Arachnos Widow Lvl-50 Happily
Ivan Spectre- Arachnos Soldier Lvl-50 on
The Grey Guard- BS/Sh Scrapper Lvl- 50 Protector
Ivaniva Spectre- WP/SS Tanker Lvl- 50
Bakuhatsu- DP/DM Corrupter Lvl- 45
I agree with Abrahms on Fitness, I have disliked feeling that I need that all all my alts. I have made a few characters without this set and have always respeced into it after level 35.
I for one am filled with glee that this is becoming a part of all characters.
However, with the ability to now have 3 additional powers (depending of course on our personal designs), I'm not to happy about the current slot configuration and would hope that we get additional slots for the new abilities we can choose.
I am doubting that this will happen and will be having to figure out where and how to split 10 slots between 5 abilities. Not a pleasent thought, but I'll live.

That's probably why they're just giving is the abilities now. Without the extra slots, it's mostly just a quality of life thing. So people can feel free to get a travel power, or grab teleport ally.|

Otherwise, you gotta take a hit somewhere to make them combat-oriented.
Just a few things heard at the panel:
Alpha Task Force with Apex as the contact
Fitness becoming inherent
Primal Earth toons gaining entry into Praetoria (legitimately)
I19 scheduled for Fall 2010
If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.
