So about that inherent Fitness...

It requires 1 respec per build, but we'll be getting 2 freespecs w/ i19.
Quote:
Probably just get one freespec (the build you choose to use it on will be up to you). I say that since freespecs cannot currently stack. I'm doubtful they will change the code to allow stacking just for this one instance. I won't say never but, still find it doubtful.|

Of course, you could use that one now and wiat for the next one to do the other build which would still be valid until then.
EDIT: Where did you see that we get two freespecs, Pixel?

I'm curious as to how they would work around the non-stacking of freespecs. I've not seen anything related to getting more than one myself.
Be well, people of CoH.
Cool. Any news on I19 and whenabouts it'll be coming?

As far as we know, the freespecs are inherently unstackable. It isn't the devs being stingy. It may be that there are so few people dual-building that it'll just be an oversight. It may be that they issue a freespec week 1 on live, then week two, issue another. It may be that this affects too few people to expend the resources. It may be that they have something in the beta that makes the whole issue moot.
But best to just wait till beta. We'll know more then.

If they had to, I'd expect a freespec, then a week delay, then a freespec. It still won't stack, but it'll address the issue, more or less

That was my thought - and that has happened a couple of times previously.
Of course, once we have details, things may change.

They'll probably hand out 1 freespec when the issue comes out, then another freespec 1 week later or so (as they've done before)

With the news of inherent fitness, this is the first time I've ever been "When's the next issue already?!"

They could give two if they stagger the distribution of it. They could give us one the day before launch, then wait a few days and give us a second one without changing any coding.
Regardless I would probably end up using my last freespec the night before launch to get out of the fitness pool. Of course I cannot wait to see what the inhert fitness looks and feels like for my older characters and my new one prefitness.

Darc_Ranger, do you not plan on putting any extra slots into the inherent fitness powers?
Be well, people of CoH.

A very good point, it should be obvious, but it isn't, you can't use the freespec you may have already before the I19 comes out or you won't be able to slot up newly inherent powers like health or stamina.

They could just hand out both a freespec and a regular respec to everyone, since regular respecs do stack.

I guess I figure that out once change goes to open Beta, from there I will see if I can use my last freespec the night before or if I need to wait it out until the change goes live.

I really really hope it does NOT work this way. Even a week would leave me short of time to go through and respec all my alts |

This or something similar has a certain appeal. It would resolve the issue fairly nicely IMO.

They could always treat one as a normal freespec, and the other like a Patron freespec.
By the way, if I go ahead and burn one of those before I19, which would get used first, the patron freespec or the one from whatever issue that came from?

If you use /respec, it will use the freespec if you have one, and fail if you only have earned respecs (Patron, Trial, or Vet).|

If you go to a respec contact, it will use the freespec first, then the earnable ones.

I hate respeccing. And now I have to do it to all my characters. Yes, every one of them has Fitness, even my regen scrapper.

No kidding. Not looking forward to it. Times two. Yes I use both builds.

You don't have to respec. Although i understand the compulsion to do so and will be doing it myself. Among other things i will be taking Vengeance on a few alts that didn't take it before.
