all_hell

I try to use up all of my "extra salvage" every time I log in or it get full by getting as many empowerments as I have the salvage for. I track some of my stats in a little window. I used a grant invisibility one. and the little power indicators icons. It all went away when I zoned in to the trial.
I don't know if I have any left to test with.

There's a Sky Raider Flight pack available via an Ouroboros mission that works. I began using that one back before we could buy them. I still use them because the arc isn't that long and you get a few merits besides. Now that it's known that they work where others won't I suspect Chalmers will be getting a lot more visitors.

Once this is common knowledge, I guess there'll be no more joking with people that they need to adjust the flux capacitors on their flight packs so they will work in iTrials like mine.

IT's "shouldn't" in the sense of he was guessing rather than making a judgment

Bear in mind that these theories are not confirmed as valid and are generated haphazardly from random collection of anecdotes.
Also, there is supposed to be random element to the system and that we may be competing against each other as well.

So, according to prevailing theory, fwiw, you should bring your AoE heavy toons to runs full of single target toons and hope the random factor doesn't skew rewards against you.

Pretty much, yeah.

I'd build my brutes to have high recharge and as many AoEs as I could find. Building for survivability and damage output only as an afterthought.

Haven't done it yet cause I'd feel like a dick subjecting my teammates to it. But I am not all ate up craving the new powers yet either.

They say [fwiw] that we compete against each other for rewards. So, if you would run with noobs more often, you may get better rewards.

Until we here from the devs [or Arcanaville], most of what we have to go on is a haphazard collection of conclusions drawn from randomly collected anecdotes.

I'd take it all w/ a grain of salt.

I have noticed that the rares and Vrs I have gotten came from times that I have skipped my bigger ST attacks and instead spammed my low damage and no damage AoEs and quick, small attacks.
But the plural of anecdote is anecdotes, not data.

If there actually is a competitive aspect to the system as has been theorized, it would go far, in combination with the random factor the devs have told us about, to explain various discrepancies in rewards v "performance."

and that's the crux of the biscuit.

I don't know. I don't know if we're sure of anything really.
Arcanaville is sure of somethings that are NOT going on because how the data she(?) collected is distributed.
But the rest--besides what the devs said--is based on loosely grouped observations of anecdotal data points.

Reward System
Last, but certainly not least, we have been paying attention to your feedback and questions concerning the rewards from Incarnate Trials. Particularly, we understand the curiosity surrounding the way in which the Incarnate Trial Reward Tables are awarded. While we’re not going to give away the keys to the castle, here’s a few points we wanted to share with you:

• As Second Measure previously said, the system rewards participation.
• The Trials are a group effort, so working together to complete the objectives of the event will provide a more rewarding experience for all members of the league.
• While there is an element of randomness, the system is not completely random.
• Don’t forget that higher tier rewards can be broken down into lower tier components.
• We are actively monitoring the reward system to ensure it continues to reward players for their participation as fairly and equitably as possible.
• When a part of our community shows concern, such as Masterminds have, we will investigate the rewards and make tweaks as needed. In fact, you can expect to see some changes from the first round of metrics and feedback in an upcoming patch.

Devs say otherwise in re ITrials.


Pyro_Master,

The consensus that seems to be forming is that AoE anything is helpful. Doesn't have to be AoE damage. It is said that affecting as many mobs as you can often as you can seems to be the trick.
But, who knows. Maybe it's all a case of confirmation bias. Idk.

Oh please. Plot is all powerful and can do anything.

LOL



Also, Supa, if you like I can chip in on the prize--inf, enhancements, w/e

yes
9.99
idc any would be nice
idk as many as viable

highest tier incarnate powers?

Shards? or threads?
