    There's more than one raid in I20 - the Incarnate system is focused on raids and TFs - that's the Incarnate content that the Incarnate slots and powers are designed for.

    I don't know (or care) about how raids go in WoW. I do have a friend who's big into Everquest II. In fact, just today he described - in excruciating detail - how his guild has been handling a particular Raid. Just the insane amount of coordination needed to pull these things off boggles me. He needs to have two or three additional programs running along side the game, just to actually communicate with the other players and keep track of what's going on off of his screen.
    None of that is required for a CoH raid.

    You don't need it

    I experience issues running the game if I have Firefox open alongside it, much less other things.
    I think I can spot a solution there

    And while DCing in a Task Force is annoying, DCing in a 'Typical MMO Raid' can sink the entire ordeal.
    Not in CoH raids

  3. A 45-60 minute WST would save you 88 Shards and 100 million Inf

    Becasue no one ever gets shut out of the Hive when a Hamidon raid is on?
  5. If you look at the incanrate Trails, the ones we've seen so far are all Primal Earth vs Praetoria - the dev intention seems to be that everyone should be helping defend Primal Earth from the threat of Tyrant - although that doesn't rule out expanding Praetoria at some point.
    But with the focus on adding new missions at 20+ in Primal Earth, it also seems that the dev intent is that the escape from Praetoria is going to be a feature of any potential 1-50 Praetorian path, with a return to Paretorian probably happening aorund level 30.
  6. For example, the Nictus Fragment is the ITF end reward, but if you don't want to do the ITF, then you need 4 Shards to make that component, and so on.
  7. See the other required components under the Shards? If you don't do TFs and Trials, you'll need to craft those too

    Wardog was a teacher who taught his students about the true history of the Hamidon War, so he was fired, and when he got hiome, he found his whole family had disappeared.
  9. I like how that area of IP is starting to become a Longbow/military hub for threats outside the city - it might be nice if they'd clear the mobs that spawn arpound the building by the docks and in the hospital car park, and maybe added some Longbow troops lined up ready to embark or disembark, and maybe some Longbow mechs being fixed on their platforms, like the ones in RV, as well as more crates and supplies stacked by the docks witht he Freedom Corps logo on them.
    It'd just be for zone flavor, but I think it'd add some color to IP.
  10. Don't forget that this is still at the testing phase - and from the way the time limit for side switching was greatly reduced based on feedback during the GR beta, it's quite possible that these figures could also be adjusted before I20 goes live.

  11. I'm not sure - Leandro gave the figures on the Beta Testers channel - it's 88 Shards for each Notice fo the Well, + 32 for the Favor of the Well, and 100 million Inf per NotW.

    In which case, it's not 1st world.
  13. From the Beta Server, the current requirements to get Tier 4 Alpha with only Shards and no TF/Trial component drops is 384 Shards, plus 400 million inf.

    It's just a big sack of posts - it takes ages to finish it.
  16. A new addition to Independence Port:







    And a new contact, Admiral Sutter:



  17. I see there's also a new feature where you can flag yourself as a new player needing help, or as a helper - which is awesome.
  18. I heard that any player who doesn't take the Trial path to becoming an Incanrate will have their global handle changed to "Miserable Worm", followed by a designation number, and will receive hourly tuants and abuse from the devs via Tells and in game e-mails.
  19. To spice things up on the KTF I ran on Infinty last night, we released all the AVs together

  20. The overview of the BAF Trial has some more Well-related info, including the introduction of the Titan Prometheus:

    Maybe there might be an "anti-Well" way of progressing for some stages of the Incarnate path?
  21. He was burried under an avalanche of replies and suggestions - he needs time to work through them
  22. Also, we already have the "2 health bars to watch" mechanic in the TMTF with Neuron and Bobcat.
