The Loyalist choice at the end of the Power arc is a literal (in the literal meaning of literal) "Yes, My Emperor" response, as you can read about in the Wiki.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

And the fact that it's wasn't ready - and still in development - shows that it was not made in the same development that produced Going Rogue, as it was released after Going Rogue.

The fact that, despite promises, the Incarnate system wasn't ready to be released alongside Going Rogue, for starters?

They like to claim such. Evidence suggests otherwise.

Despite your dogged insistence otherwise, the Praetoria presented in Going Rogue had more variety and depth to it than a simple goatee-universe ruled by a power-hungry Tyrant bent on ruling the multiverse. The developers have decided, in their infinite wisdom, that shallow is better than deep.

No, they are not.

Incarnate Praetoria is i1 Praetoria. I loved i18 Praetoria.

Now and then. Not enough lately for me to renew.

Probably the worst part is that I used to love Praetoria, but all this Incarnate ******** has ruined it for me.

I meant pretty much ever, not just this issue.

I don't think I've gotten anything I've asked for.

Well, okay, they are finally increasing the radius of the MM version of Twilight Grasp. I guess that's something I asked for.

You need to stop your habit of being so unbelievably wrong. The Team Up Teleport system, explicitly described in the very panel we're discussing as only for Incarnate Trials, was also, one breath later, outlined as a boon for CASUAL PLAYERS.

Someone here is wrong. Am I suppose to assume it was Avatea, not you?

According to the feeder:

Q: More villain costumes availabe like seers, praetorian clockwork, or simple street clothes option?

Nate: We've discussed street clothes but they're not "very heroic".

Appropriately for the Sharkhead SF, it's about the Leviathan. The end boss is Calystix the Shaper and the Eye of the Leviathan.

He was talking about Operative Renault.

So long as they don't use the "Solo-only" technology from Praetoria; as long as you can, at the worst, still grab seven friends and run through the content (as many people have done with Trapdoor and Holtz/Honoree), this remains true.

I'm not a huge fan of the "solo-only" missions, incidentally. They're poorly implemented - the reason they exist (because it's pretty much the only way they could get the moral choices to work) is at odds with some obsessive need to make characters tackle actual gameplay solo, whether they want to or not (I'm in favour of soloing, but I'm not really in favour of forced soloing, any more than I'm in favour of forced teaming.)

If they didn't insist on putting actual combat inside the missions (or if they must have combat, make sure that it's combat that even an empath defender with only their Tier 1 secondary attack can tackle,) the system would work a lot better.

If that's what I'm doing, I'm playing a sandbox. In which case, I'll go play a better sandbox, that's actually designed as a sandbox, and that I don't have to pay for.

Remove progression from the game and you remove the incentive to play it.

Then why the bloody hell did you spend so much time and effort arguing against and belittling those of us that were asking for a solo option?

So, what finally changed your mind?

Yes, because it's lazy to not want to do things you don't find fun in a video game.

That's exactly the problem. Thanks so much for figuring it out.

This is the exact sort of mindset that caused me to opt for this MMO over the competition. Bringing this into this game is not an improvement.

Put up or shut up. Try playing for a year, knowing Incarnates are there, but not participating in it. See if you're still happy.

End game raids aren't good ideas. World of Warcraft has shifted focus down to things much more like our Task Forces lately, because they realised that more people enjoyed smaller teams than larger teams.

I don't particularly like 8-person teams as it is (and not because of the content; I solo on x8). It's pretty easy for me to extrapolate from eight-person to more-than-eight-person and figure out that I'll like it even less.
