Quote:Thats an example of the new phasing tech, which is rather good I think. It allows the appearance of a zone and contacts to vary based upon the individual or team leader. In this case Longbow have made an attack on the Isles but there are a few missions you can do to push them back and then they will no longer be seen. All very cleverOriginally Posted by Daimyo_Shi
So I logged int to mercy today briefly to do a mission and found out that I was in the middle of a Longbow base now. WTF?

Nah, you just institute a flexible reality.
Every individual player is the Head Dorko of the Freedom Phalanx.
It's just a case of allowing the disconnect to occur and moving on. Similar to how every one who has gone through the RWZ arcs are the ones rescued Decker.

Quote:Indeed. For me the best example was the simple inclusion of a temp power for villains. Suddenly the same story works for both sides just because the villain manages to steal a piece Synapses power. Bravo! More of that please.Originally Posted by Slaunyeh
Praetoria also did it well, actually, with loyalists and resistance infiltrating eachother left and right. Want me to do heroic content? Well, fine. Let me go undercover as a hero and give me the option to sabotage something down the line.

Having taken it all in now the only thing I don't really like is the bit saying "We Love the Team Up Teleport"
Personally I hate it. Yes it will be better once we can enter missions without having to leave the queue. But I still dislike the way it divorces missions from the game world. That plus its well talked about other problems, makes me wish they'd use it less rather than more.

I am not familiar with the muppet playing Capt Jack, does it have four arms?
Piggy Song looks disturbingly attractive

Quote:I see no problem with this. It will be nice if there are in-game ways to earn some alternative weapons but this is the only way to justify the resources imo. The other weapon sets only started out with a small number of options.Originally Posted by TheJazMan
Ok did I hear this right...they want to sell Titan Weapons and then sell a pack that has additional skins to the Titan Weapons??? Really?? Tell me I'm wrong. This would make me wretch if it is true.

It threw me for a loop that Europeans don't have the 12 month subscription option (why is that, anyway?)
Topical humour!

Could we have a slide-the-drink-down-the-bar emote too? -
Quote:And we are back to where I came in. Its seems to me people are acknowledging that the iTrials wouldn't get done without stacked rewards, so its okay to stack the rewards!Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
It's also one I and many others agree with. Yes the solo/small teams path should not SUCK, but it sure as hell shouldn't be faster or as fast as the iTrials way (despite what I think of the level of sucktasticness of some of the trials).
That just doesn't seem like good design strategy to me but since I am now repeating myself and the Devs most certainly don't agree I shall bow out of this thread as gracefully as I can

Quote:While I agree the Shadow Shard would be a good Incarnate zone I think it works less well as a solo zone. So I am glad and surprised they picked DA for this instead.Originally Posted by Socorro
That said, I really wish it had been the Shadow Shard that was getting this Incarnate Revamp - all four zones
It was perfect for it. Make it co-op, fix some of the traveling issues, give it some more arcs and TFs, add a few more eerie minions, lovecraftian GMs... -
Quote:I am, but the current "tide" or "feeling" in this thread seemed to be saying that solo incarnate content had to offer less reward than the i-trials otherwise no one would do them. If you disagree that's great.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
Most of my Incarnates have not spent an Astral or Empyrean merit in months. They are all T3 or better in every slot. Yet, I still do the trials. Please speak for yourself.

Quote:Actually I think its all about "How you get there."Originally Posted by Noble Savage
We're zeroing in on a theory here, and I guess it's this: when you get a whole TEAM of brightly-colored folks on screen, it starts to strain credulity for the mainstream movie audience. So one hero: okay. But a group of differently-colored super characters tends to get into rainbow territory and remind people of the Voltron force or other traditionally kid-friendly material.

Quote:And a capeOriginally Posted by Coyote_Seven
Actually, we need a Super Dog Pet! It's like the normal dog, except it has super speed, a "super bark" ranged sonic attack, and has laser beam eyes.
You know what would be really super cool?
If you could right-click the pet, get a list of the villain types in the zone, select one and the dog would find one. -
Quote:To be fair you did say the solo route should "suck" for people that like the iTrial. That aside I can completely agree with this post.Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
The idea is to have two healthy, appealling, parallel methods of advancement, instead of one that is healthy at the expense of the other ...the exact opposite of what you take me to mean.

Quote:I sort of agree with this sentiment BUT in this case I think they are progressing the story of the zone. If that is the case then I am more than happy with the change.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Sadly, the Devs seem hellbent on their 'Redo ALL the EVERYTHING!' rather than leaving the bits that aren't broke and instead swiping everything away to do it all over.
I'd like the fog kept to be honest, but I have technical issues with it aside from the whole "flying into buildings" thing

Quote:If that could be done using the phasing tech that would be brilliant!Originally Posted by Slaunyeh
Instead of just taking away the mist, they should have us 'free' Dark Astoria from the mists as part of the ongoing story arc in there. Then I could accept it better.
;thumbsup

Quote:Overcast Astoria?Originally Posted by thrawn_bmp
I think that DA surely need a revamp. Not this one, that's all, because without the fog there is no more Dark Astoria.

Quote:I believe content should stand on its own merits. You all seem to accept that the I-Trials are lacking but think that the solution is to drag other aspects of the game down to keep these above water. Which is because you all know in your heart of hearts that the I-Trails are being kept alive by people playing them for the rewards, not for FUN.Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
Feel free to enlighten me.
I seem to be the only person that thinks thats mad. -

It was identical to the Long Distance Teleport choices. I guess the Devs wanted to give us a peek at what the LDT was all about.

Quote:This is called "Robbing Peter to Pay Paul". Its an awful design philosophy.Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
I disagree. Not everyone is into iTrials. Content for people who absolutely hate iTrials should be created and maintained. This same content should not kill iTrials by being more attractive to the people who are needed to form Leagues.

Quote:That is a truely awful design philosophy. You would design a game that would suck for everyone.Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
I think the important thing is to keep a focus on what we are trying to acheive.
The solo path should be great for those people who would otherwise give up completely on post-50 content because they will never, for whatever reason, do iTrials. At the same time, it should, by design, suck for people who can, will, and enjoy doing iTrials. It should be an alternative and at most an emergency supplement for when iTrials are not forming at all.
