Can't devs finally bite the bullet and make freespecs stackable?
I have so many characters I need to respec, but have been putting it off waiting for i19 to drop so that I could benefit from the Inherent Fitness. I am so glad this is close!

Man, now if we could get a Mids updated early so we can spec things out beforehand.

A lot of us would prefer this, been asking for a long time myself. Honestly I think they would have by now, if they didn't add a method for us to buy them for $10. -.-

The unofficial is good enough for basic slotting, better then blinding redoing your toons. Not sure if the update will be up within the week the issue releases. I'm sure they will want to update it with Incarnate slots as well..... I hope |

Awesome! Now, if you would only be so kind as to give us 5 free character transfers, please.

Players who were at the Meet & Greet over the weekend reported the devs saying that. They're trying to shoot for around the 16th, but if they can't make it they'll wait until after their Thanksgiving break.

I was getting on to see if there was any new info about Issue 19 and was kinda disappointed by the main website. Then I came into the forums and saw this thread. Not quite so disappointed then.
On top of that when I logged out the other day a huge download started up. Put that together with a friend, that attended the M&G, telling me they are aiming for a Nov 16th drop of Issue 19 and now I am happy. Altogether that aim *seems* to be pretty good. Really hoping it works out.
Eagerly awaiting Fitness going inherent. What I'm not excited about... having to respec ALL of my characters! T-T

Inherent fittness pools sounds good. For some it means getting to choose some new powers previously hogged up by choosing fitness. The only issue being what about extra slots for those powers? Would be nice to have a few extra slots for patron powers too. But then again, who knows what the future may bring.

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
Remember, "Freespecs" are not bankable.
Whenever they issue one, if you have not used it, you do not get a second one.
They are not cumulative.
Use it or lose it as they say.
Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.
Though i'm sure i'll find the time to respec a toon that really needs it, alot of my toons are fine the way they are and some don't even have fitness to begin with (YAY elec armor) though having the pool inherent makes sense. my question is why wait 19 issues to make it happen, it is the only pool we got that is all autos...=\
kinda wish they would give us extra slots though.. inherent or not a friend a mind made a good point. people will still end up slotting stamina so in the end what really changes outside of the 3 powers you can choose now but not have enough slots to go around for them.
still though i always enjoy the free respecs, i personally get tired of traveling all the way to galaxy to respec so i always welcome free ones.
maybe they should finally put a respec in each major/heavily populated zones.for 19... that would be awesome! O_O

I actually agree with comments saying it'll be difficult to use both freespecs in a timely manner for some players.
Suggestion: Issue one freespec and one regular respec. Those do stack, and folks who aren't currently subscribed will also be able to respec both of their builds.

No your friend did not make a good point. Of course everyone will three slot Stamina (and probably at least two slots in Health). Considering IO Sets and Uniques, four slotting each would not be considered excessive.
Then you just choose three powers THAT DON'T NEED TO BE SLOTTED. Recall Friend. Assault, Maneuvers, Tactics, Vengeance. Hover. Hasten. Stealth. Provoke. Boxing & Tough. Combat Jumping.
Come on, this is not hard.

"Issue 19 will go live...
...when it's ready...
...Nov 16th...
...-ish.
They are shooting for the 16th, but if it's not ready to push live then it will be after Thanksgiving, because they are not going to push it live during a holiday weekend."
I was hoping for a badge with respec token like a vet respec, along with the freespec.
Oh well, two freespecs is workable, though no way in hades I'll get time to respec many characters in a week, even I do nothing else gamewise, I cant see me getting more than six to eight done in a week. And I have alot more than that characters that will want to respec.
Doubt all that many will need the two respecs worth of changing... have to spend some time looking.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
be nice if it would go live tomorrow 
I love freespecs! Actualy prefer to be able to type in /respec wherever I am and just hop into that screen. I suppose those npcs in Galaxy and St. Martial would be pretty lonely if they stacked and the bought/crafted/vetspecs went to the same file... But I wouldn't mind at all.
As for stacking freespec's for this round.... How about one pops in as a regular Freespec and the other pops in as a click to reward yourself (ala vetspec) I-19 specific badge with something amusing to put under our character names related to fitness becoming inherent?
"It's about damn time"
"Free at last"
"Gift of the Gods"
"Wooo!Hooo!"
"Moar Power!"
I dunno... My two cents. It's well known I post little and when I do it's something silly.
Update: December 14th, 2010
Don't forget the 3rd Respec token will be given out tomorrow, December 15th!

December 8th
Greetings,
Given the magnitude of changes in Issue 19 with the fitness pool becoming inherent at level 2, we’ll be issuing one respec with the launch of issue 19 and a second respec 8 days after launch on December 8th. This means if you have dual builds you can respec both builds if you like, and if not you can use the first respec (if you like) to take advantage of the changes with I19 and bank the second respec for a later time.
Enjoy!
