    Like higher level Incarnate Trials?

    A bit - mostly just hints

    Not gonna happen - the Incarnate system is designed to be endless - Positron has said that players will "always be chasing the next big thing" with it - more slots can be added to the 10 announced ones, more trees can be added to existsing slots, more rewards can be added to the Empyrean and Astral stores.
    A lot of planning has gone into the system to make it so open-ended - which is why Positron prefers the term "elder game" rather than "end game", as "end game" implies that it's somehow the finish, and has an eventual stop point.

  5. It's optional content - no one needs to play it - not playing it doesn't affect the 1-50 part of the game at all.
    If you're not interested in the Trials, then you don't really need any of the Incarnate powers, as they're designed mostly for the Trials - it's a self-contained mini-game, like the market, or bagdes, or PvP.

    It's going to get bigger:

    Quite a few "traditional" things from comics don't have a place in the modern world anymore

    Paragon City is the birthplace of tomorrow - its heroes need to reflect that

She's running around the city, almost completely naked with nothing more than a few bits of electrical tape for clothing, and people are supposed to take her seriously?


    Her costume is an embarrassment.
    I don't actually think her outfit is too bad - it's very similar to Fusionette's costume, which is a quite practical spandex one - ridiculous would be Swan's "outfit"

    Man, what a chore that was to locate.
    That's normal solo content, not solo Incanrate content

    No it hasn't
  11. Not only in every Issue - but in these mini-Issues too, to help build up the range of Trials we can choose from
  12. If theyr'e doing this for the tutorial, I'm kinda wondering if they're also going to add comic screens for the new content in Atlas Park, as well as First Ward.
  13. Raids are also a selling feature for the VIP option, and a lot of the F2P people will find them an attractive idea.
  14. Are you all aware that one of the Trial reward ideas the devs are kicking around is to tie special new costume parts to completing certain Trials, or certain parts of a Trial?
  15. It just needs a darker BAB, and Sister Psyche to be expressing shock rather than panic.

    Yeah - the Incarate system is fully supported by the devs with a long-term development plan

    I'm not seeing that at all

    All the critical comments are directed at Sister Psyche's expression and BAB's skin tone - the actual composition of the panel is great.

    I mean, damn... you guys are brutal and beyond critical. I'm not gonna say I enjoy the facial expressions or ethnicity issue BaBs is having, but I enjoy the composition and pretty colors.
    Actually, I don't think anyone is saying it's badly drawn at all - because it isn't, it's a great bit of comic art - what people are saying is bad is the choice of expression for Sister Psyche - it's about what's being depicted, not how it's being depicted.

But that's ok. You're still dead."
    If only there was a countdown timer showing when the next pulse was going to happen so we could plan our movement around it.

  23. I'm assuming the picture might have been chosen for this preview to test reactions to it.

    I enjoyed that!
