And so your not happy because they are giving you a FREE respec in the first place? Dude, its FREE to begin with, deal with it. It is not the companies fault that you never used it before.

Let me explain: I allready have a free respec available on just about every toon I own. I like to keep one available in case of emergencies.  i19 comes out with a free respec, but I allready have one, so it will not stack. I will need to respec all of my toons, not once, but twice!  I know that we are getting a second free respec one week later, but I will stil need to use it for my second build! Where will be my "in case of emergency" respec after I respec all of my toons because of i19 ?  |

How about you use your brains for a second and realize that it's not free because they feel like it, it's free because they changed the fitness power pool! So, I'm still being robbed a free respec!

Everyone knows Freespec don't stack, so use 'em or lose 'em.
I rarely respec any of my characters, so I probably lost a freespec on every one one of them yesterday. I'll probably lose another freespec on most of them on the 8th when we get the next one.

Was going to say something here but I see two posters already beat me to it. I'll just walk away with a casual "You did it to yourself" as I shake my head and shrug.

This is exactly how every issue freespec has worked. The freespec is provided specifically so that you can alter your toons to take account of changes to the game in that issue. It isn't and never was intended to be a back-up emergency freespec for future use.

Death is part of my attack chain.
Never mind the free respecs 
when's the next free character server transfers going to happen?
With all the changes in-game thanks to the Incarnate system breathing new life into retired 50's, I know I have several I'd love to transfer to the servers I'm now most active on.

Now that is a question I can get behind. Good call.

I didn't even use the first 2 - but I might use this 3rd one to get the benefits of inherent Stamina

I can say that Positron posted last week about the 3rd freespec being granted tomorrow as well as why we'll be getting the 3rd freespec.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Ok this might be a very stupid question, but I honestly don't know this, right now it is 11:38pm est do I have to wait til after midnight my time to get the free respec or after midnight there (east coast southern CA)? Because if it takes into effect after midnight my time woohoo I only have 20 minutes to wait.

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
Here's an idea: now that I and many others have respec'd our alts and cleaned up and rebuilt our power trays........would it be at all possible to tune up the respec system so that temp powers do NOT go back into the trays first? It would be more efficient I would think if the primary and secondary powers returned to the trays first. It would make reorganization a bit more efficient.
I have to say, the time between free respecs is a little too tight. I know some people with literally hundreds of characters. Replanning and respeccing all of them not one but twice will take a lot of time. There should be two freespecs awarded that will stack so all the first and second builds can be respecced. At present, there's not enough time to do all the characters twice.

I'd rather to see option that preserves temp powers in the trays and only clears up primary/secondary/pools

I believe that there is a major problem with the respec token process: it will rob everyonein the game who allready has a free respec token available to them.
Let me explain:
I allready have a free respec available on just about every toon I own. I like to keep one available in case of emergencies.
i19 comes out with a free respec, but I allready have one, so it will not stack. I will need to respec all of my toons, not once, but twice!
I know that we are getting a second free respec one week later, but I will stil need to use it for my second build!
Where will be my "in case of emergency" respec after I respec all of my toons because of i19 ?
