Let me wipe that egg off my face then.

I've highlighted an important word for you: a. It means 1. In other words, it's an option when i20 comes out, and a way to progress before i20. As has been mentioned many times before, the WST also involves (and has involved for the same amount of time as the notice) double XP and double merits. Strictly not an incarnate system reason. The idea seems to be to showcase a different TF each week, the incarnate system stuff being just a perk for 50s.

Then PM Avatea. Red names don't often respond in this part of the forums.

Maybe if it were the only way to progress in the incarnate system. But it's not. The very fact that <50 TFs are included suggests the notices are incentive for 50s to do content they normally wouldn't.

For now. Although the new 50 still has to unlock the alpha slot and then earn the mass of shards necessary to use the Notice they can't get until the next week. So it's probably not a big deal.

The system is not exclusively for 50s, and doesn't need to be.

Hmmm... I wonder why that might be.

Why are you so sure you do? Seeing as the devs had to create this system, it might be closer to their purposes than any speculation any of us can come up with.

Maybe so, but it is great incentive for running TFs other than ITF.

They weren`t given to us with the purchase of GR. When the expansion was released there was a window of time in which you could transfer your toons for free. If you missed it, you m issed it.

The notices are what 50s get in place of double XP. That's it. You don't have to run any TF to get a notice. You have the option to wait until i20 comes out with content specifically designed to advance your characters as incarnates. For those who don't want to wait there are the WTFs. Basically, there is no problem.

Sure they do. They get double XP, and double merits. That may be "nothing at all" to a 50, but it is definitely something to any character between levels 1 and 49.


Doesn't seem likely to me. Double merits on one TF a week the first time you run it doesn't seem very farmable.

Again, this is simply the only way to get a notice RIGHT NOW. When i20 comes out you won't need to do any of the WTFs if you don't want to. I could understand if this were the only way to get them, but it's not. All that's required is patience.

Ever think that the incarnate system may have just been tacked on to the WTF? It's already been said that we can get notices this way BEFORE i20 is release with other ways.

Have you considered that offering double bonus XP doesn't make a lot of sense if the WTF is restricted to level 50 content? Even though the Alpha slot has been released the devs still have to think about levels 1-49.

It happened to me for the first time in months right after reading this thread.

So no one else thought that Dumple was just, you know, joking?

There are 4 links in your signature, and none of them look anything like N P C. Maybe you should specify which link it is for the OP.

As has already been said, Responsibility and Warden are the most heroic paths, but you'll end up doing some pretty despicable things in all four paths. Avoid Crusader arcs like the plague. Those guys join the resistance to cause mayhem and get revenge. Power starts off as pretty heroic, but quickly degrades into setting things up to make you come off as the greatest thing in the world.

That extra attack power will still be effective with just the one slot in it. Either make some sacrifices to put a few more slots into the extra attack, or use it as is.

Won't slot, you mean. You will still be able to slot any power you select, so the choice you have is to not slot the 3 powers you pick up in place of Fitness, or adjust your build to find slots to devote to those powers. You could also choose powers the really don't require slotting.

Unless he was told by Marchand that you're deep undercover, in which case he would neither offer you tasks to do that could jeopardize your mission, nor off you, preventing you from doing that mission at all.

Successfully undercover doesn't mean no one knows what you are doing. It means the wrong people don't know it.

What way are you talking about? Currently you can do 3 out of 4 paths without fully switching factions. The four path is barred from us not for technical reasons, but because of a design choice.

It's really quite simple. Start out as resistance. Do a loyalist arc. If you don't want to read what your contact is telling you, just scroll down to the bottom of the text. On some missions you'll read the you should call Calvin Scott before you start the mission. Call and he'll give you a different objective.

To go deep undercover do a solo moral choice mission, and choose the loyalist option. Now you can do the Power arcs, and you'll still have the option to call Scott.



You're right, it's not. It won't be, either. It might be something that goes into CoH2 whenever that happens, but I doubt we'll see it in this game.

Temp powers are in a separate category of drops. They have no effect on your receiving an IO recipe. You could potentially receive a temp power recipe and a purple.

It may not seem random, but it is. Look at it this way- you're rolling a die, and the same number keeps coming up. It happens. What wouldn't be very random is a program that prevents you from getting a recipe you already have.

Toons that have the Fitness pool won't have it as an inherent. Once i19 comes out those that don't already have the pool will instantly get it as an inherent.

If you use a respec on a toon that has the Fitness power pool (and not the inherents) Fitness will become inherent, and you will loose it as an option when chosing power pools.

It's an MMO based on the DC universe.

I'd say being able to run the same content using any of the 10 basic ATs instead of only 5 is an inherent advantage to being Praetorian.

But the only thing supporting that character is teaming and exemping to the team's level. The game provides no incentive to remain in Praetoria. Until the content in Praetoria is expanded there is no reason to add a costume mission to the tailor there. A halloween salvage contact, however, should be added.

It's not so much of 'could leave' as it is of being kicked out. Once you hit 20 you get a popup from I believe Marchand for loyalists, and Sheridan for Resistance. Hit 21 and you can no longer access content from contacts you haven't already started. Unless you want to exemp down for the next 30 levels your only option is to go Primal.

Not really. It just means we might spend more time actually playing the game, and less time waiting for our END bar to refill in the early levels.

Whoever gave the OP that information got it from Closed Beta. Vanguard merits were originally included in the cost to buy an alignment merit, but that was removed shortly after the loyalty program testers were invited.

Yes, especially if you are working towards a set of purples. You'll save a lot of time if you buy a merit everyday in addition to earning one every other day. Running TFs after your daily quota of tip missions should cover the cost.

You can do as many tips in one day as you want. However, only the first 5 tips count towards changing your alignment. They can be 5 rogue tips, 5 villain tips, or any combination of the two, but you only get credit for the first 5 tips.
