Merit Rewards System-I don't really understand what this will be. Are they getting rid of the current rewards system for TFs and the like, or is this going to be in addition to the existing process? Whatever it is, hopefully it won't be as time-consuming as getting the Vanguard merits.


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm pretty sure it will be an extra thing, and I'm also pretty sure it will be just as tough as the Vanguard system

I wonder how much you'll be able to test missions and arcs before you open them up to other players? Like will you be able to do a walk through to check everything's ok?

And soon, you'll be able to earn merits that fast too

I wonder if you'll be able to pick the avatars of normal enemies to be AVs? Like making a ClockWork Gear have the Kronos Titan stats?

Bus Driver Uniform Booster Pack - $9.99

Not one where Lord Recluse is kidnapped by Rikti Monkeys?

Welcome to the forum, SuperNova

I also think it'll be interesting to see if there are any more hints about Incarnates in the new Cimerora arcs.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

So one half-new power set is all that you're loooking forward to?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep that sums it up,

Very, very alone

UI am really keen to see the mission creator - it has amazing potential and while i do not expect it to be [diety of choice's] gift straight away with feedback from the community and tweakings should provide hours of fun!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah - I think it'll start off quite basic, but evolve during the next few Issues.

[ QUOTE ]
I wonder if that means that they'll update the maps with valid locations for job offers. Yeah I know, I'm lazy. Blame it on vidiotmaps.

[/ QUOTE ]

There'd be so many map icons you wouldn't be able to see the map - it's already pretty bad in some zones

Empathy: Heal Other
Pain Domination: Spank Other?

... I'll get my coat.

[/ QUOTE ]
Don't do it! I lolled!

Fine, I'll get my coat too.

[/ QUOTE ]

Both your coats are over there next to your bikes...

[/ QUOTE ]

No they're not - they're in the NCSoft cloakroom - you'll need to pay 5 bucks to get them back

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't specify if the bikes were in the cloakroom or not. Maybe they are, it's probably an additional $5 to get them.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is - I can see the price list from here, where I'm waiting to log out to get the "Cloakroom Assistant" Day Job badge

I am happy with all the features of i13 just dont feel it looks as HUGE as we were promised.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pretty much my view as well -- although I get the feeling this is meant more as a sneak view than an overview, and they might have saved something big to be announced later.

At the moment, the list presented seems to involve a lot of work for Jay and the programmers, and not all that much for War Witch and other "content writers", and I can't see them having been allowed to sit twiddling their thumbs since I12.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think they'll have been working on the new Cimerora arcs - there's no word on how many of them there are, or how high they are - it could be as many as Faultline got, which would have been plenty of work for them.

The most challenging and time consuming tasks grant the most reward tokens

[/ QUOTE ]

I play this game because I DON'T have to spend hours to get good stuff.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you misread that a bit - it's not the most effort that gets the best stuff - it's the most effort that gets the most tokens to trade in for stuff - no one will miss out on anything.
It'll be like the Vanguard Merits - you can earn several hundred from doing just one Mothership raid - but if you don't have the time or interest for that, you can also earn them at a slower rate by doing missions against the Rikti - you don't miss out on anything.
That's how this new system will work - you might get, say, 20 for taking down the Hamidon, but you could also earn 20 by doing several TFs instead.
If there's a really cool item worth 100 tokens, you could get it by doing the Hamidon 5 times, or by doing dozens of TFs - the items won't be exclusive - how and when you get them will be down to the players themselves.

So is pain a new set or a modified empathy?

[/ QUOTE ]

For all the build-up this set has had, I'm kinda hoping for a new set, new animations, new graphical FX/SFX etc.
If it turns out to be a Red-side Empathy Redux I'm going to feel disappointed - heres hoping!

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it'd need some more aggressive animations than Empathy seems to have.

The Merit Rewards System is a new game system that allows players to earn tokens by completing Trials, Task Forces, Strike Forces, Raids, etc. The most challenging and time consuming tasks grant the most reward tokens, which can be redeemed throughout Hero and Villain zones for recipes, enhancements, salvage, costume pieces, badges, inspirations and other game items.

This is new info - and it sounds good

One little phrase got my attention though: "Zone Refinements".

Wonder what they are going to be refining after 13 issues. Would be kinda funny if that was their term for a remake of boomtown :P

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd guess it might be mroe along the lines of Perez park getting a Hollows style fix.
(And no, I don't mean letting the Trolls blast a ginormous hole in it )

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the heroes of the city would overlook it for the greater good .

[/ QUOTE ]

Perez would be ok if they'd just replace the blocks of tress with individual ones - although that might be a bit more demanding on some players systems, it'd make the zone easier to travel in.

I want an invasion of giant aliens from the 9th dimension :P

Oh and donuts!

Well, make a story arc with Shivans, and have the final mission use a part of the Faultline map

tbh highly unimpressed, what happened to i13 being massive?

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, so a system that lets players the world over create their own missions and story arcs for people to play in and enjoy isn't massive?

Two new power sets, a new system of rewards for accomplishing tasks in game to unlock things, two new power sets for several ATs, powerset proliferation probably to come, more than likely global zone changes, a system for earning badges and extra things while offline, supergroup base enhancements...

If all that isn't massive, I kinda wonder what your idea of massive is.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's totally redefining the game - the basic building blocks of the game - missions - are being made open source to the entire player base.
