    It's pity, not hatred

  3. I wonder if they're going to run a UStream chat for the entire downtime?
  4. I'm guessing that the Euro Test server won't ever need to be used again now?

  6. But as I've already posted it here, I don't see the point in cross-posting it there

    But I'll keep it in mind for my next one

    I didn't see that mentioned in the announcement...

    Surely "a wizard" would be better?

  11. Will the raised sever cap also affect the individual zone caps? Like will it now take more players to spawn a new instance of a zone?

    But then the entire zone could stand around Marauder's body and say "on the gorund again?"

    Is there any way that we could get new contacts in PI or G-Ville just for Incarnates? Make all the missions at +4 or whatever so that smaller teams can run them and be able to get Shards, Threads and other goodies? Or even new zones specifically for levels 50-54? Just something other than the same 2 things that take forever to form.
    A new Trial will be tested this month, and released before I21 - the current plan is to release at least one Trial with each new Issue, and for this first year of the Incarnate system, they're also aiming to release more Trials in between the Issues, to build up a good selection of them - kinda like we have multiple TFs we can pick from at 50.

    The Incarnate system is built around the Incarnate Trials - it's unlikely that they'll design all the Trials to only need 8 people to complete them.
  18. About half the people I've seen looking to join the new Trials just called them TFs - which is understandable - they're instanced maps, you gather in one zone to start them, and you're recruited by a leader.
    The only 2 raids we have are open zone events that are triggered by the players performing an action in the zone, with anyone able to drop in and out of the raid at any time.
    There's also the fact that the Alpha slot was linked to 2 new TFs, plus had the older TFs linked to it with the WST - so it's natural for a lot of players to assume that the 4 new slots are linked to TFs too - plus, the non-Incarnate Trials are also similar to the Incarnate Trials, using a similar design to TFs.
    The length and team size of the Incarnate Trials also blurs the difference between them and TFs as well - 8 people doing Lambda Sector in 30 minutes on one map compared to 8 people doing the LGTF in 60 minutes on 5 maps makes the LGTF seem like a more complex and hardcore task.

    Freedom server is the one they're stress testing - but the other 14 servers are still getting the invasion event.

    I can totally see them doing the same this time, only using Goliath War Walkers - or maybe even some fo the Praeotrian Guard - ganking Marauder in Atlas Park would be cool

    NEVER give the users a release date unless you KNOW it will ship on that date. Anything else makes you look incompetant.
    I don't see anything wrong with announcing a release date while saying that it'll change if any major bugs are found.

    Red names of some kind may be involved

    So they found the bug that delayed it without testing? That's pretty impressive
    Also, when they announced the first merge date, they said that it could be changed if they found a bug
