Boxing and Kick are getting buffed a bit and the new T5 is another attack and if you own it it buffs boxing/kick. Tough and Weave remain unchanged -except- you can now get Weave without getting Tough.

Not explicitly. We saw them demonstrated and got to see some of the detail info.

In order: We don't know. It is not. And the debuff was like -10 Res wasn't it?

They're working on it, there's just a number of things broken about it.

Yup! right here:

No they actually didn't say 'I24'. You have to pay attention to what they say and more importantly what they -don't- say. Any time they don't give you a direct answer means that there is -something- up. It may not be a new zone explicitly but they did not answer that question with a direct 'no' they sidestepped an answer and just explained what they're doing. The two are not one and the same.

You're really not very good at double speak GG.

Actually they didn't explicitly say -no- to the question about the Praetorian zone, merely sidestepped it.

Will be interesting to see what is up. Honestly I think people are going to be hoping for a wrap up with Hamidon but I doubt we'll be getting it. At least not I24.

Thinking on it, it kind of makes you wonder if this isn't the issue we'll see shards start to phase out.

Yes. He's a repeatable contact. Just use the 'Find Contact' button and he and Sir Lionel and Fireball and Trilogy will show up.

We didn't get a detailed run down but the general impression given is any power that has a full, noticeable effect will be customizable.

They've said there'll be a ton of new content. I24 is apparently shaping up to be a HUGE issue, not just with pool revamps and customization and the ranged blast set changes. We'll find out more in the I24 preview, whenever they decide to kick it out (I'd guess.. before the end of August?)

They've also said there's some zone revamps coming.

Er, no they DID say that a couple of the non-crashing nukes would see tweaks. One would remain the same, the other 2 would see a bump down in recharge.

The answer is simple. Prometheus and the angels are actually the true Vanguard of Battalion and have been lying to us the entire time and having us lay the groundwork for devouring the Well.

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about and are just tossing about phrases and words in the hopes it sounds like something smart and like a counterargument. Because none of what you said made sense.

I.. what? Yeah again, I think you and I are just on two completely different levels of logic because I absolutely do not understand your point.

For one, Incarnate powers in general are a 'leveling' of the playing field because every AT has the ability to use Judgment, Destiny, and Lore. There are always going to be power imbalances between power sets, ATs, etc. But are you really suggesting the next 'threat' should be only challengable by those that are 'the most broken'? Don't think I could disagree more.

Just being a higher level doesn't mean you're going to have to only pull out 'the big guns'. If there's solo content then it's likely to be just like Dark Astoria and the Emperor's sword. They might do some things differently, like perhaps Battalion solo content will be gated by like.. I don't know, having Hybrid unlocked? Or Lore/Destiny like the Magi trial is. But it's going to be Incarnate content. Enemies will be somewhere in the 50+ range, very likely to be 54 or higher. And they'll have higher to hit and probably some hard hitting attacks. But you'll also have your destiny, your lore, your judgment, your hybrid, etc to fight back.

And keep in mind, even as the enemies get bigger, badder and scarier, so do we. We've still got 4 more slots to unlock, potentially more level shifts to go, and they can still add -more- to prior trees for even more variety.

So, yeah, I don't understand where you're coming from in the slightest. Unless the Devs have a sudden and prolonged attack of loss of total common sense, 'Battalion' content is -not- going to require you to just stick with your IO'd softcapped brute and ignore your SO'ed empathy 'fender or require all T4 abilities. I'm not really sure why you'd even think that. It's also kind of assuming that there's just going to be this sudden gap between current incarnate content and 'battalion' content where solo content is like 54+ minimum. Frankly, we don't know what they're going to do only that Battalion is 'the next step' in terms of upcoming plot arcs.

1. 0. I have 3 incarnates, none 'fully' incarnated. But that's because I don't see T4 as the end goal, just an extra icing to do something else while more stuff comes out.

2. 3. Still working on getting my other alts to 50.

3. Full incarnates? None. Again, it's just incidental if I happen to get stuff to make T4s. But I do roll characters with the intention of getting them to 50 and unlocking slots and the like.

4. No, I think that's just silly. Incarnate stuff gives me stuff to do when I hit 50. The end game TFs are ok, but solo stuff was absolutely scarce once you finished up remaining story arcs (and even then, they just gave you merits and a chance at purple recipes).

Ideally never. It'd be fantastic if the game could just keep growing and adding more and more content. Eventually it will end. But til that point I think it's safe to say we'll continue to receive more content along the lines of Dark Astoria and the Emperor's sword, likely getting progressively harder as it goes or different rewards. But being end game content it will probably never be 'done' insofar as we're concerned. There's never going to be 'enough', the very notion is kind of silly. When you get 'enough' of this game, you just stop playing. The idea of endgame content is to keep you playing without having to retire a character and start from scratch. (Or worse, just quitting the game and moving on)

I'm... not sure I really understand your point. 'Everyone' is the star but at the same time so are just 'you'. Your player character is always going to be 'the main' star, you're the Superman of the game now that Statesman has bowed out. I'm not quite sure what you mean by limiting the cast, since it's just 'you'.

it's a pretty safe assumption since he said he had it open.

Remember kids, reading is FUNdamental!
