End-of-Game
Once a toon hits lvl 50 most players 'lose the love' and move onto a new toon. The reason is because there are no more 'fun pellets' for pressing the buttons in the skinner box. So lets introduce some. Up to level 50 the 'fun pellet' was a new level, and rather than simply extending the level limit (again) can we think of something new.
New missions and zones only work for a short time, they are like changing the colour of the 'lights' in the skinner box, but no new 'pellets'.
There already are 'fun pellets' - set recipies, but they come so infrequently that there is not enough reward to justify continuing to press the button. So lets increase the reward frequency (a little). If level 50's could directly purchase Reward Merits for Influence (at a reasonable rate) then it would be worthwhile playing a level 50 toon. It would also lead to mis-use as each player used their lvl 50 to equip all their other toons with full sets. So maybe a lvl 50 could directly purchase lvl 50 (or 53) set recipies from the Merit Vendor for influence. Or create yet a new 'Reward' point system just for lvl 50s which could be used to purchase lvl 50 (53) set recipies.

Hell, we still have the spot in the base it used to be.

Give the guys more credit. We'll have a far more humorous April Fools announcement than this.

Quote:And what would an energy aura have to do with books?Originally Posted by Zortel
Looking forwards to Kinetic Melee. Please, please, someone tell me if Scrappers are going to get Energy Aura as a secondary for this. Why? Because my psychic tai chi practitioner character -needs- this, to be a badass bookworm.

Yeah, the second the official video goes live, I think it'll tip straight into, "Y'know, what would be cool? Fire whips powerset for scrappers."

Quote:Yeah - I've been on some ITFs where the recruiting took longer than the actual TFOriginally Posted by Lemur Lad
Longer TFs wouldn't be an issue, if they came up with a quicker way to form teams. As it stands, a big chunk of time comes just getting people together. Unless you have good timing and a busy global channel, the process usually takes 30minutes if not longer.

Quote:Well, we've certainly seen a version of Manticore built by NemesisOriginally Posted by Tyrrano
Ah, but that brings us to the crux of the matter...
Has anyone ever *seen* Manticore and Nemesis at the same time? <.< >.>

I think they'll be important, either for the Incarnate system, or for other types of future content - the AE already scans you for your origin, as well as your AT and gender, and gender-based text was added to some of the Cimerora missions - so it seems that now the gender/origin/AT recognition tech is in the game, it'll be expanded and used for other things outside the AE and the Cimerora missions.

So, it has been confirmed that doppelgangers are colour customizable clones of your character.

Quote:Wouldn't it be better then to make a clown summoning set, but also make it very weak, and then smack them about for hours?Originally Posted by Zombie Man
It's his defense mechanism to deal with his crippling fear of clowns.
Although, MM pet customization should take care of the problem

Quote:Yeah - now that DP has been out for a bit, trenchcoat levels have returned to normalOriginally Posted by flashrains
You know what? So what? Maybe there will be a spike in Saiyan and/or Namek characters for a while, but after what I predict to be a very short while, the "ooh shiny!" will wear off. The majority of those characters will stop being played, some will be deleted, and while surely some will remain, the usual distribution of creativity will return. The same will happen with "City of Pistols and Demon Summoners," I predict.

Quote:In what way do you think it's bad? Like so you think we shouldn't time travel that far from the modern day period of the rest of the game? Or do you mean the 5th Column shouldn't be there? Or something else?Originally Posted by Venture
Saying Cimerora is "not totally historically accurate" is like calling a nuclear explosion "noisy".
Cimerora is one of the few elements in the canon that could be improved by being declared a Nemesis plot.
I love the zone - time traveling Nazis building superpowered giant war robots in the distant past after allying with alien-possessed Romans is cool by default

Hasn't clown summoning been a joke since like CoV closed beta?

Quote:Well, with the current power customization, we can select animations and colors - that's not too big a step away from giving us generic powers with no effects or animations, just stats, and letting us chose the animation and colors - think Hami-Os, only as customizable, slottable powers.Originally Posted by Seldom
The notion of incarnate powers being custom/signature powers would be awesome, but could give the devs a headache, so I dare not hope for that.
For example, you unlock an Incarnate power than gives you a damage and accuracy boost - you go into the customization screen, and pick the costume change emote "lightning" as its animation, and tint it green - that's what the damage/accuracy boost will now look like when you activate it - or you could pick the "Aid Self" animation, and tint it blue, and so on. -
Quote:So what about a "speed up time" Incrante power?Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
It's academic. Activation times mean that you can't use all of your powers every time they recharge anyway. Combat Attributes and the Purple Patch mean that even with new abilities/slots if your combat level doesn't increase you aren't significantly more powerful unless the new powers are powerful enough to render existing powers obsolete.

Quote:The thing is, how mnay new toys do you have to get before it becomes like an extra level?Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
Personally I'd say for it to be a "level" increase it needs to increase the combat attributes. If it doesn't do that then it's basically just new toys to use without an actual power increase.

If you're an Incrante level 4, just say you're a 54

Quote:Positron said at PAX that "Incarnates" was what they were calling it right now - probably because that's the easiset title to use that lets people know what's in itOriginally Posted by Jacks Assortment
Dont know how much is true but MMORPG.COM said that the name of issue 19 might be changed.
Once GR goes live and we get the full details of I19, they might change the name. -
Quote:Do you have a quote or link for that?Originally Posted by MajorPrankster
One of the Devs has specifically mentioned, at Hero Con, that the new End Game system would allow characters to 'trivialize' the current content.
If it's true, then that would mean that the new enw Incarnate content would be similar to the high end stuff we have now, and the current content would let us go all pre-ED on their butts

Actually, an ei/ei-o player would be a farmer, right?

Quote:I think they might add some new type of Incarnate scaling for the enemy mobs, otheriwse, the current high end content will become way too easy.Originally Posted by Sigium
The whole idea of 'Incarnate Levels' still strike me as raising the level cap. Granted, I'd change this up a bit if I had heard that it can affect alts, but we've been told that this is end-game content. Plus, I don't honestly envision being able to go into Level 1 Atlas Park and being able to unleash Zeus' Lightning.
If it's only available at level 50, what different does it make what you call them? You can call them Praetorian Advancement Stages for all I care, but if it's making you stronger- more capable of dealing and avoiding damage, better Def/Res, then it is an additional level. Just because your contacts still like you doesn't mean their arcs won't have fell significantly along the difficulty curve.
On the flip side, the entire system of getting further in 'levels' strikes me as the opportunity to pull a WoW-style 'Heroics' content for missions/arcs.
"Would you like to set this at Incarnate level?" -
