    With the amount of brooding vigilante types we already have running around, you'd need to book your ledge space in advance.
  2. I hope the next thread will actually tell us about the Praetorian Serge, and why he's so dangerous.
  3. So the thread couldn't stand against the badger rage surge?
  4. This post is here to boost my participation in the thread, so I don't end up with 10 Threads when the thread ends.

    There is a very real power inflation risk at play, and then the subsequent question of catching up. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.
    Some kind of storm arriving, perhaps?

    Nope - there's no end to the Incarnate system, anymore than there's an end to the TF system, or the story arc system, or the badge system.
  7. According to Positron, the Omega slot is "awesome", and "worthy of the name" - although there are also further increases in our power beyond it, as these 10 slots aren't all we're getting - the Incarnate system is designed to be endless

    The bugged Praetorian lab door also shows up on the training level of Lambda Sector - but luckily, the rooms all seem to have multiple ways in
  9. Welcome to the forums - although you don't seem as easily startled as the in-game Tunnel Rat

    It's already starting to calm down - it's a part of the game now, and just like all the other new systems, it'll just blend into the the older stuff, and just become another fetaure.

    They sure make some pretty good guesses

    I hope they add the I-Trials between issues, so we can have regular content we all like for Issues: costumes, more powers and more customization.
    Trials will be added in each new Issue, as well as in between them for the first year of the endgame system.

    Cant wait for the new zone, I hope is expanding Praetoria lvls 20-30
    It might be higher level than that

  13. Contact a GM to either tp you past the door, or complete the mission for you.

    I thought you were going to refuse to play the Incarnate storyline anyway, because you didn't like the way that the crazed evil god-emperor ruling his fascist dictatorship shown in GR were revealed in I19 and I20 to be a fascist dictatorship ruled by a crazed evil god-emperor?

    Power Pool Customization (APP, PPP and Pool Powers)
    Power Proliferation
    Incarnate story arcs, with no sign of M Bison or his evil goatee sidekicks to be seen.
    Issue 21 has a new zone in it, with new contacts and story arcs - the zone will answer a lot of our questions about where the magic is in Praetoria, so you should be prepared for it to be a Praetorian zone - you should also be prepared for the Well of the Furies and Incarnates to be referenced a few times in the new story arcs.

    There should also be at least one new Trial in I21 too.
  16. I was going to reply to the opening post, but I checked their gearscore, and it's way to low for me to waste my time on.

    New zone?!

    Really?

    Even if you ignore QoL stuff, don't story arcs and TFs count as content?

    Well, as it's been strongly hinted that the new zone in I21 will give some answers about where all the magic is in Praetoria - plus Positron and Numina being featured in the the new Villain SF in I20, and the fiction leading up to the zone invasions this month, I think it's possible that our latest super-couple might have some more screentime in I21 - the science and magic pairing gives lots of options to tie them into the new content.

    Assuming the new zone is co-op, then the previously unknown Dr. Rebecca Colston, who also appears to use a blend of science and magic, could be involved in some way with any red side content in the new zone, while Numina and/or Positron could have the same role in any new blue side content in the zone.
    And as the Hamidon was also created by a mix of magic and science, I think that could be a major theme of the I21 content.

    Also, Positron and Numina make for quite a charming couple, so they might still feature even if the science and magic theme isn't such a big deal in I21

  20. They already said that they want to add more backpacks - there could be one or more in the next booster after the steampunk one.
  21. I think "going on patrol" will eventually become similar to "serving in all capacities" as a useful code phrase for a T rated game
  22. Would a Longbow flyer be a good enough substitue for a zig? I just want to know before I give any orders to launch them
