Yes I want the big ZZtop style leopard skin print cowboy hat, the option for leopard skin print on any and all jackets and the /e ZZTOP.

*inserted amusing image to show how much agrees with poster*



(yeah I included an actual image, so what, want to fight about it?)

But I like Disco AND 80's synth-pop.

I also like Slayer, Motorhead, Iron Maiden and Metallica.

I'm a conflicted individual.

Also sorry but 90's has worse music than the 70's and 80's, atleast it had character...even if a lot of it sounded the same...just like 90's music.

Shut up I'm trying to make a point!

Somewhere...

Apparently so.

I do disagree with the sentiment of, "Stop complaining, you've complained enough, it's boring."

Sorry but if people do have legitimate complaints and when people like Arcanville have complaints about the current rewards, there's something to atleast be heard for those complaints, especially from Arcanville because she tends to be the most level headed and fair when it comes to these things, unlike some of us (*cough*me*cough*) who tend to be driven more by emotions and thus are far more biased.

Plus you've kind of shot yourself in the foot.

If you'd not posted and simply let the thread go, it would have done what Steelclaw lists usually do, everybody would have gone 'Lol' 'Funny' etc. and after a couple of days it would have slid into obscurity down the topics list. By complaining about it your making sure that this 'moaning and [censored]' is kept near the top of the list.

So perhaps you are right, that people should stop complaining, in this case it probably would have helped your cause...

That and, unlike Silver, who did an alternate take because she disagreed with Steelclaw, which was both humorous and provided counterpoints to each of Steelclaw's points, you just came in and went "Waaaahhhh dis shizzle is so unfunny it causes a black hole of unfunny!' which just makes you look like a moaning, miserable sod (to the level of Venture, who I swear is mostly just trolling these days) instead of, you know, saying that you simply disagree with the points being made and providing counterpoints.

Heck I LIKE the Trials but having 1 Incarnate character and looking at the rewards I'm going "none of that apart from 1 aura is something I want..." which completely nullifys the purpose of adding those rewards, they're designed to get people like me, who only have 1 character Incarnating and who have all tier 4 slots (including Alpha) to run the trials again.

For me the purpose of those rewards has failed utterly. I'm use to grinding crap, infact I've been through grinds that are a lot worse than anything the Incarnate system has (try killing Goblins, lots of them for eight hours solid every day for three days to earn yourself a hat and non-combat pet...yeah THAT was a grind) but I see the rewards that they're using neither fit the theme of being an Incarnate (aside from Ascenscion armour, which does fit) nor look like they should be gated behind Incarnate content.

Which is what I pointed out when it was first announced. A few people will use the costume pieces...most people will not...you're going to get people standing around in Atlas park being show offs sure but when you're new, 50 seems like a long way off.

Surely you want people running around with these outfits in low level zones with low level characters purely on the fact that if a new player sees them in that outfit it'll be more of a bonus to them than just seeing it on a level 50.

For example my Archery/Energy blaster could really use the Ascension (no aura) shoulders and boots, it's WoWtastic armour and she's a night elf archer (don't ask, was a bet). However she can't use them because she is low level, not only does that not enthrall me with the costume piece but also I'll probably end up deleting the character.

I have ONE incarnate character and the Ascension armour doesn't fit her either, she already has an Incarnate costume. There are some characters it really fits like Bass_Ackwards Valkyrie character, it looks awesome on her:


Now I have none of my level 50's that can use it. They're all very much set in their identity and with that, their outfits.

So far, out of the endgame auras, I've found use for one, Slime, which will go with my Gelatinous cube in humanoid shape character really well. That's it.

I can afford that off the bat with the Empyrean merits I have saved up...and once again have no reason to run any of the trials, I'm not a big badge hunter so the new badges for the new trial aren't going to pull me in, I'm tier 4 on everything but the Destiny slot, I honestly have no reason beyond that one aura to run the trials.

I'm in agreement with this statement!

Actually I DO play for the Phat Loot, the Phatest of lewts is often a driving force and yet I feel the same as these people that dont play for it and yet want it...where does that put me?

I'd much rather buy an Incarnate pack with all the stuff apart from the Ascension armour as a global unlock, which also means I don't have to go through the hastle of claiming it on EVERY-SINGLE-CHARACTER through Email.

You can keep the Ascension armour as an unlockable only but everything else...yeah looks like it kind of belongs in a booster pack anyway...infact I swear everything BUT the Ascension armour was originally going to be in a booster pack anyway until they panicked and threw them in the Incarnate unlockables instead.

Katze was force onto the backfoot, blocking the blows as best she could. this... man... attacked with the fury of the gods themselves but she would not back down. A twist of the head of the mace and another click, now a length of chain attached between the two pieces, forming a Morning Star.

"It takes great skill to use one of these without hurting yourself you know...let us see how skilled you are at blocking one..."

She hefted the spiked ball towards Anderson...

Professor Mechaniker had decided to make a run of it.

There was the hiss of jet boots. One Dr Mechano was now appearing in the flesh, he didn't look very impressed with his Axis counterpart. He may have been an old, grey skinned man with white hair and a beared but there was the fury of the ages about him.

"I would have words with you my dimensional doppleganger..."

Energy sparked into life surrounding his cybernetic hands, "it seems that unlike you, I have seen combat action...I'm guessing you missed out on being involved in the big conflict in your dimension by a few years, I've lived through two Rikti invasions and living through a Praetorian invasion as we speak...that and I carry this..."

Unhooking a hefty looking sledgehammer from his back, "I call her the Foehammer..." with a single swing Mechano sent Mechaniker sprawling and laid out unconscious.

"Nobody conquers Paragon but ME!"

He smirked as he fired his jetboots, "I'd like to stick around and help you with the invasion but I've done my part...." flying off into the sky.

Meanwhile on the Airship
"GAH!"

Perhaps the intimidation worked a little too well, the pilot hurled himself out of the door.

Thankfully to be caught by a flying hero below and promptly zigtagged.

The invasion was wearing down, the Kreigroboter were directionless, one leader unconscious and the other too busy fighting to direct them, leaving them easy prey for anyone fighting them.

Its a bit of a pain in the backside since you have to go back to Ramiel in order to drop it after you pick up the mission from Lady Grey then go BACK to the RWZ to talk to Lady Grey, then wait a couple of minutes to let your orob portal recharge.

Indeed inquiring minds would like to know.

As I said, tier gear.

The big gorilla of the fantasy MMO uses the exact same system for character progession admittedly that is SINGLE character progession and this is slightly better in that it is account based.

I'm sitting here in much the same position as Sam going "I have so many new concepts I could make using that armour...but I'll be buggered if I'm going to wait until I get that character to level 50 in order to make use of it."

That is unless one of you people out there saying that the idea behind this is fine is willing to PL that one character to 50 in sharp order for me, then I'd maybe consider it.

So now the costume pieces fail as a 'carrot on a stick' for me at that point, which, for me personally, makes it completely friggen useless. I'll probably get the emotes and the auras but the costume pieces will remain untouched.

So it basically is a slightly modified version 'tier gear' ala World of Orcs and Humans then (except this unlocks per account, which is better admittedly but it is tier gear none the less), you have to be this awesome to unlock the costume, this shows everyone that you have one or more possibly high ranking incarnate characters.

Who wants to bet that the next 4 slots will have their own tier gear and the Omega slot will have one all its own?

Wow *golfclaps*.

Also I do love the 'if we allowed your low level alts to access it, it would be an insult to the art team' line, really Posi, you honestly think that despite people running the content and actually unlocking it that somewhere, someone using this on a level 1 would make the art team so incredibly insulted.

You probably want MORE people using your costume, showing it off as an incentive for new players to not only reach 50 but also to stick with the game and run the incarnate system so they too can unlock the awesome costume.

Yes Frietag did actually walk up the side of the building however he couldn't climb the Atlas statue, he had to fly up and land on it.
