    I think it boils down to this:

    "This issue is content light!" WHAT THE F are you SMOKING?

    "This issue focuses again on the goatee universe! I'm tired of Praetoria"... slightly valid complaint.

    to be fair, they haven't done something like that in a looooooong time now.

    Have to agree. The amount of "story" being intro'd is awesome. They also (finally) give a reason (though some may argue a not very good one) for why the jokes that WERE the Praetorians have suddenly been powered up.

    Didn't the issue where Khan/Baracuda was released ONLY contain that?

    I mean if they call Issue 20 small, what the hell would they call that issue?

    Those testing the Lambda one should test this out by trying to form a regular ol 8 man team for a Radio/Newspaper mission.

    Unfortunately I have to work during both of the current testing times for that.

    Confirmation for one, and a clear tease that the other will work outside the trials at some point.
    Thanks! I knew I wasn't going crazy remembering that.

    LOL!

    Perhaps my phrase "fringe lunacy" was a tad much. But I think to have overactive concerns we're going to have a repeat of what happened to the Alpha slot it a bit unwarranted as well.
    Fair enough.

    That's true.

    However, there are still plenty of threats that I would not necessarily call it best to ignore.

    Rularuu comes to mind.

    Hmmm, reading this comment again, it seems I misunderstood how the League system works.

    Can it not be used to organize regular 8 man teams?

    (Wasn't something we were focused on testing during the BAF test )

    Although, if the Devs actually did decide to do something so epically stupid like not including new Incarnate content in an issue called "Incarnates" it would at least be worth a good laugh to see fringe lunacy like yours justified here.
    Seeing as how the Alpha Slot was pushed out of GR at nearly the last moment . . . yeah I can see how some folks would want confirmation.

    I don't think it's fringe lunacy at all.

    It would be . . . pretty errr "interesting" to not have at least another slot open in an issue called INCARNATES.

    Just saying.

    Patience, as someone said.

    EDIT: Then again I can see how some would want confirmation on that and not want to just assume.

    heh, I agree sounds like plenty for me. I'm good. Hell I would have been good with just the fact that there is another path to get into the Incarnate System.

    But once again I can see how folks want them to focus on other storylines that have been left stale for some time in favor of "goatee universe" (I LOL every time I rea dthat) may not be too excited for Issue 20. Or those who were hoping for a bone to be thrown to pvp or bases.

    I think Issue 20 is fantastic but can see how/why some may not be pleased.

    Possibly, but it wouldn't surprise me if the rewards window is also turned off for Lambda.

    Then again there is always the possibility of a leak . . .

    I'd bet money that we'll know about the next slots around March 11th.

    For folks that don't like tfs and trails, yeah nothing in the issue for them.

    I also laugh at the folks who say "wait there will be more". When they hell has that been true recently?

    The issue looks like a solid issue that builds further on Preatoria and probably offers ways to get into the Incarnate system without the nonsense of the WST, and allowing folks to ignore Mender Ramiel. That's a win to me. (Based on other dev comments and the info for the BAF, NOT JUST the issue 20 overview for those wondering.)

    Should there be more for folks who despise the praetorian storyline? Sure.

    But I'd assume that's coming in future issues.

    EDIT: With that said future issues need to get back to the unfinished areas of the game: namely pvp and bases. The lack of ANY work on them is starting to become obvious even to people who cover mmos in the press, as was mentioned in a recent article.

    Don't need purples.

    Just get the A-Merits to get the rare orange procs (LOTG Recharge, Numina's Regen/Rec, and or Miracle) and become an Incarnate.

    Well if you're bored by them you might end up skipping Issue 20.

    Me, it sounds like fun.

    This will be my last post in this so as not to derail this further.

    What you just stated and the comments in the AE forums goes back to an issue I KEEP bringing up: Paragon Studios needs to finish what they start.

    Incarnate Content is all great and fun, however they really need to focus on finishing up systems they leave hanging for literally years.

    Carry on all.

    This isn't about bases anyway. This is about something you have We Base builders wish we had. A red name that actually wishes to help. Someone who has a voice in what gets put in the game in the future. Bases don't have that, and I am glad you do. At least they aren't ignoring ANOTHER community that need to be addressed. I am actually a bit jealous to tell you the truth.
    PVP DOES NOT have a red name. When a developer who actually has access to code and can actually go in a fix anything chimes into these Community threads, then you can talk.

    What pvp has is a person like Ocho, Nieve, Ex_Libres, etc ad naseum. Folks who are nice at gathering what the current community thinks. But that's about it.

    The way mezzing currently works, though it needs HUGE tweaks to get it exactly right. There HAS to be a middle ground between the current system and the old "come with a tray of bfs if more than one dom or controller is on the other side, or you lose" system of pre-I13.

    Other than that . . . nothing.

    The Cape needs a bit more time to build up it's story. But wouldn't be suprised (or sad) if it's cancelled. The new Wonder Woman series being on NBC means it will be cancelled near the end of the first season. NBC needs to be put out of its misery. Comcast needs to shake that thing up.

    No Ordinary Family would sadden me. As others have said it's getting good and is further along in eps than The Cape, so it's had to time to build up it's story. Michael and Julie rock! Starting to like the kids also. Hope it isn't cancelled.

    And Chuck is resilient. Two seasons ago I thought it was gone. It will be renewed. But just barely and not without a lot of fan help. I'm waiting for the series to end to catch it on Netflix. Which I hope won't be for some time to come.

    Medium I'm shocked is still running.

    Farewell Smallville. It's pretty good for it's last year. Thought they would phone it till the last 3 eps. Not so. Plus they keep bringing in more and more of the greater DC Universe as the season grows.

    Everything else I'm unimpressed with. Fringe never got me.

    V can die in fire. ABC's idiotic move to not allow the show on HULU pretty much killed any chance anyone had of catching up if they missed an ep. Similar to the dick move by SYFY (LOL dumb names are dumb) in relation to SG:U (which was horrible compared to SG1 and Atlantis).

    Now I just wonder if this zone will be hero, villain or co-op. I hope for the latter.
    Most likely co-op. The devs of side only zones are probably dead.

    I have ALL avatars and signatures turned OFF, but I'm curious.
