Dire rumor: No freespec?

Someone on an in-game channel was saying that they'd heard (no source was given) a dire rumor that we wouldn't get respecs for I19.

Surely this can't be right, can it? Can we get a red name to confirm that we will indeed get free respecs? *puppy eyes*

Impossible. If there was ever a need for mass respecs, the change to inherent fitness is it.


Never argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

To my knowledge the Devs haven't made a statement about it one way or the other. I guess it's possible the devs stated that in the closed beta forums but I'd be kinda surprised if they aren't palnnign to give out freespecs.

Liar liar pants on fire, the devs have said we're getting TWO.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

This is what I was led to believe as well.

I just thought that it was *theoretically* possible that someone would have a source for the rumor or a link to whatever it was that someone misunderstood.

I haven't heard confirmation or denial on wether or not we'd be getting two respecs with I19m but I know we're gonna get at least one. not sure how they would give 2 freespecs, since there's no mechanic for freespecs stacking.

The usual method would be one at release and a follow-up freespec a few days or a week later.

They give freespecs when they tweak a power. They're removing an entire powerset from the game next issue. Of course we'll get a freespec.

Is this another rumor starting or do you have a source?

It's common knowledge by now.. The Fitness pool is being removed. Those powers will be inherent. That pretty much makes every build that has a fitness power obsolete.

As far as sources, you could probably do a YouTube search for CoH i19 info and find the information fairly easily.

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.

Oh DUH! *slaps forehead* I didn't even think of that, thought it was another powerset.

Yep, they were thinking of removing 3 more: Stone Armor, Empathy, and Mind Control.

They're recombining them. Stone Empathy, Mind Armor, and just plain Control.

I heard they had to give up on Stone Empathy due to a bug involving Devouring Earth rock creatures trying to hug players.

Incorrect. They are changing an entire power pool to inherent. Hell, they're not even removing the non-inherent version, any character with the pool that doesn't ever respec will still have it.

This is how rumors get started, people.

And anal retentiveness apparently.

Fine. If you don't respec, you don't lose the powerset, but you also don't get the freespec so it doesn't really matter anyway.

Wouldn't you be given the freespec but just not use it? Rather than not being given the freespec?

Every freespec I've seen was given to all chars without specification as to how it was going to be used.

It's more of a "If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around, does it make a sound?" kind of theory. We all know it does, but if you don't hear it, it doesn't matter.

I heard that mobs will get to use the fitness pool as well but they will also have to respec. I heard from some people that were in closed beta, that I cannot name, that alot of times mobs would just be sitting there letting you pound on them and getting killed while they were doing their respec.

This bug alone will set back I19 another 3 weeks so dont look for it anytime soon.
