I don't think it's bad writing at all - it's showing a realistic situation that would happen in a setting like Praetoria.
It's a relentlessly brutal fascist dictatorship - if you decide to resist it, then lives are going to be lost on both sides. -
And I17 was the GR stuff they completed ahead of schedule

Quote:Yeah - in the GR beta, all we really got were a few hints from Mender Ramiel about Incarnates and the Coming Storm, and then be could just buy the slot with merits - which was kinda underwhelming when Incarnates are set up in the game lore to be something rather unusal even among superheroes.Originally Posted by Haggard4Life
I braved the painfully squeak on the video to find out more details on I19. Not only does it have the Alpha Strike Task Force, but the unlocking of the Alpha Slot is now in a story arc. Both of those are from player feedback from the beta.
I was okay with the Alpha unlock and doing current TFs to get salvage (I haven't done most of the high level TFs), but I'm excited that we're getting a story to go along with unlocking the Alpha Slot. Thank you devs!
I wonder if Mender Ramiel will be the contact who gives the story arc to unlock the Alpha Slot? -
Quote:Well, it's been requested on and off by quite a few people, and they might have discovered some way of doing ti that they hadn't thought about before, so it might now have moved from "wouldn't it be nice if..." to "let's see if we can make this work" - but that doesn't mean it's on any kind of priority list or anything.Originally Posted by Perfect_Pain
I don't understand why they are bothering with animated hands or faces at all.

Something I hadn't heard mentioned before - Positron said that with the first Incarnate stuff being focused on Praetoria, it'll be "growing upon and in some ways finishing off" some of the storylines started in 1-20 content.

Cause when the game is full of half-***** improvements guess what you have? A half-***** game. And that's the last I'm going to say on the subject.

Quote:The 2nd picture, like the first, is a reference to the new Apex Incarnate TF, not cross server teamingOriginally Posted by Megami-Neko
I'm also willing to interpret the second picture as cross-server teaming, but how about only on Task/Strike Forces? That's why they're by Positron.

Do you think we can sign it electronically, or will we actually have to fax in our signature?

Quote:But all the 4 inherent Fitness powers will be able to have the full 6 slots - Castle just said soOriginally Posted by reiella
Exactly, by making it inherent, you no longer have the option to slot enhancements in it.
[ edit for clarity ]
By making the modifications to the values themselves, you remove the options of slotting it, and placing more slots in the power.

100% no

Quote:Actually, I think you'll find it was the Issue that had the most luster everOriginally Posted by Xzero45
I17 was actually incredibly lackluster.

Quote:The two examples I gave were actually a reason why I think I20 might not be "CoH 2.0"Originally Posted by Knightfox
Don't forget these:
Updating old costumes
Looking at animated facial features and fingers
Sounds a lot like a 2.0 upgrade to me.
It came with power customizationQuote:Wasn't there a rumor some time back about a costume creator 2.0?

You mean proving Emperor Cole right that Primal Earth is full of chaos and is planning to invade?

Quote:I think it's more likely to be based on the idea of rewards you earn by not playing DCUOOriginally Posted by Eva Destruction
As long as it's not more rewards that you can only earn by not playing.

Quote:It could be random mob spawn points - or trapsOriginally Posted by EU_Damz
Well minor update could just mean mission spawns are being changed a bit, something which made praetoria so great was the fact we didnt have a clue where the spawns are. Yet in CoH/V we know them off by heart their exact locations
Or they could just be installing an elevator in the layer cake room

Quote:Or it could be us striking first to try and reduce his ability to invade - although completing the new TF could also spawn a Praetorian zone invasionOriginally Posted by Slax
Betting the Alpha strike is Cole's first wave of his invasion.

Quote:I'm not sure Apex would send us to do thatOriginally Posted by NightshadeLegree
I'm sure the 'heroes' of Paragon City will be delighted to help bomb some more hospitals and nerve gas a few police stations.
-
An important thing to remember with any talk of I20 = CoH2 are these two bits from the PAX panel today:
Old zones may see an update to make them look nicer.
They have looked at taking down the paragon war walls but won't happen anytime soon.
Both of those things would surely be part of any evolution of the curent game into a "2.0" version? -
Quote:Already been suggestedOriginally Posted by MadHobbit
you do realise that "Alpha Strike",could also mean the first big attack by Cole?
and that the allowing of primal earth heroes into Cole's universe could be our retalliation?
ok ,I'll put my tin foil hat back on
All we know so far is that at PAX today the devs said that the Incarnate content will be initially Praetorian focused, there was a picture of Apex as a new Incarnate TF contact, wearing Vanguard armor and standing in the Vanguard base, and that GR has shown us that the Vanguard are taking a leading role in the fight against Tyrant, and are willing to accept the help of both Heores and Villains, just like the Resistance does, who they're helping
-
If you look at the actual description of the Fitness pool powers, they really are so generic that they're the kind of thing you'd expect every superhero to be able to do anyway, even if they didn't have any actual super powers:
Health - You heal slightly faster than a normal person.
Hurdle - Increase jump height.
Stamina - You recover endurance slightly more quickly than normal.
Swift - You can naturally run slightly faster than normal.
So I think it really does make a lot of sense to make them inherent for us. -
I wonder if that will include new morality missions too?

Quote:It also sounds like it's more of a mini-Issue, like I15, and that I20 is more like the original idea for I19 - so it's still going to be a a sort of sneak preview of the Incarnate system.Originally Posted by Slax
i19: what didn't make the August ship date.
