Not in the ear, NOT IN THE EAR!

So, the red bra or the pink bra?

This new Justin Timberlake CD is AWESOME!

World domination can wait...after TELETUBBIES!

I took this screenshot over a year ago at the first base raid of the Elite Council of the Darque Mafia over on Infinity, and a few days ago made it into a motivational poster.

What makes Miss Liberty an incarnate? She's just his daughter... And who would she be incarnate of?

[/ QUOTE ]
And, why wouldn't Ms. Liberty also be included, as she's his granddaughter?

You should turn it into a questionaire... That'd be cool.

So...we can only submit one of EACH, or only one total?

Nice...I needed a clean animation of the leveling...

Don't tell anyone, but we're making a parody(well, not EXCLUSIVELY of CoX, but includes elements)!

Sherks Builder is getting a BIG overhaul (update). I am currently updating ALL powersets. I am nearly done with the Villain side. Warshades were updated a few weeks ago. Hero side update will be out a week or so after the Villain side. I also have new data for PB and will be updating them soon!

[/ QUOTE ]
That's why I keep getting new updates every time I load the program... "Did this just download a new update thirty seconds ago?"

Jeez, it's so time-consuming to piece this all together from various posts...

What DO we know about the upcoming releases (i8 and the box release)?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nothing that I'd trust as far as I could throw it.


Basically, we know NOTHING for certain. Even the stuff that we're "pretty sure" about (which is basically just that Warshades will come to CoV at some point in time) isn't 100% confirmed. Everybody glosses over the "we're looking at bringing Warshades to CoV" part of the quote...."We're looking at" doesn't mean "it's gonna happen."



So basically, we know nothing besides the fact that Issue 8 should come out this year, and there should be a Retail Box sometime next year.

[/ QUOTE ]
OK, at least I know that two things ARE certain.

Yep, I know, but the Nictus here on Earth need a host. IIRC, there's a Kheldian story arc that talks about people being abducted and being forced against their will to take in the Nictus because they supposedly get weaker and weaker without a host.

[/ QUOTE ]
From that, I inferred that it's possible for a Nictus to exist without a host, or did I just read into that too much?

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, I'm lost. LOL.

[/ QUOTE ]

OK, ok, tell me if I'm right, even though I just bypassed alot of other stuff, I'll get to it in a minute, though.

Kheldians are the aliens beings. The Council forces Kheldians to merge with either voluntary members or force others to merge with Kheldians to become Nictus. Warshades are reformed Nictus and Peacebringers are Khedlian mergings that are totally voluntary and dedicate their lives to being heroes.

Did I leave anything out?

And if I am right, it wouldn't seem very likely to bring Warshades to CoV if their supposedly reformed.

For those of you on Infinity server, there is a heroside and villainside chat channel for supers looking for team.
"Infinity Heroes LFT" and "Infinity Villains LFT" are here for your disposal!

This merging always has to be voluntary, even for Warshades/Nictus.

[/ QUOTE ]
If I remember correctly, the Kheldians are the voluntary ones, and the Nictus are the mandatory ones.


[/ QUOTE ]

Nictus are scientifically bonded Kheldians(so the alien is forced, but the human is not neccesarily), Warshades are Nictus that have gone good. Peacebringers are a voluntary bonded.

I think I just finished one of those arcs...

So, a Nictus can be both bonded and unbonded? I thought they were bonded to be a Nictus...

well, i said in the origanal post of mine that i can't really give any one the story for the designs. But this Droids_rule person wanted me to explain my idea so i tried to explain, but he didn't tell me how he wanted me to explain. so did you understand that?

[/ QUOTE ]
Listen, I'm not trying to get you upset or make you explain more than you seem to feel you need to. I'm just saying that if you want a dev to care about what you're saying, then make it understandable. You've been using run-on sentence posts in almost every thread. Try using more punctuation... That's all I'm saying. Get a friend to help you out. We're not supposed to make it easier for you, you're supposed to make it easier on us and the game designers.

Sharkking, really, it would help you a LOT by doing one thing when you post a suggestion, question, whatever...use some punctuation. Separate your sentences. Your posts are almost unreadable. Remember those English classes you've taken (or taking)? Use them, they're not just there to take up time in school.

[/ QUOTE ]

well i never had to write sentences, so i hardly do proper spelling for any thing and proper sentencesing.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're unlikely to be understood or taken seriously until you do.

For instance, I have absolutely no idea what it is you are asking about or suggesting in your original post that started this thread. It's completely incoherant.

[/ QUOTE ]

dude it was to give the game designers some new items to have in city of villians

[/ QUOTE ]

And if you want THEM to take you seriously, you need to make your posts understandable. They're human, too...

And this forum is designed so other players can see and comment on your ideas.

To both Jannus and Oceanborn:

I figured as much, but I guess there was just some hope that it might eventually happen.

OK, this has been kinda bugging me. Say they add an Incarnate type (or any other powerful EAT), what likelyhood would it be for the type to be able to actually take on one of the signature heroes/villains one-on-one. I understand the "epicness" of the storyline for the Peacebringers, but, call me greedy, but I want more, or at least different(and more). Have a quite decent fight, albeit long lasting(I would hope), battle against Xxxxx Archetype and say, Statesman. Or even Statesman and pals. Or even one on one against an AV. I understand the impact it would have on the game, being that very few people in the PvP zones could actually touch you(unless it would be a toggle power that essentially boots you to the equivalent of a lvl 54, which I believe is what the signature heroes/villains are), but it's hard to imagine that a storyline such as CoX would show that (if you've read the books), lowly heroes like Positron and Synapse, and even someone without even actual powers(Manticore) could attain the power enough to fend off many many level 50 villains. If these were actual events(which yes, I know, there are a LOT of non-realistic things happening in the game), then if a stalker were able to get an AS off on Manticore, it would kill him. He's really just the CoH's Batman. So, are we ever going to see any attainment of that kind that the players can achieve? Does this make any sense to anyone else? (As my brain is in overdrive right now, due to lack of sleep)

Horrible, Darque! Just horrible! Now, get back to work on your SG! Much base tweaking to be done!

What makes Statesman or Recluse Incarnates? What separates a Tank Incarnate from a Tank?

[/ QUOTE ]
I recommend reading up on their history, Statesman and Lord Recluse I mean. I recommend picking up the novel "Web of Arachnos" which pretty much covers that history - should be available in your book stores.

Anyway, to give you a summary (fyi, their story is a bit hazy to me now, pardon me if I may present you with some small minor errors in detail in their story): Statesman and Lord Recluse were once pals, normal people, wanted to look for this mythical island. They found the island, which is basically the Well of Furies, and there, they found the Fountain of Zeus. By drinking out of the Fountain of Zeus, Statesman was reincarnated into Zeus, so he became a demi-god - that would explain Statesman being a Tanker having Lightning powers. Lord Recluse drank from it too and was reincarnated as Tartarus (yes, it's a place in Hades but Tartarus in some mythos is portrayed as a god.) There's some other stuff in there about both of them opening Pandora's Box, thus unleashing the Golden Age of Heroes (and apparently villains) but I'm gonna need to pull the book out for that and I'm not sure where it is. Again, I recommend picking up the book "Web of Arachnos" which talks about their history.

So overall, an Incarnate means you're reincarnated with or to someone.

Now, don't think that just because Statesman and Lord Recluse were reincarnated into demi-gods or personified, that we'll be able to do that too. Remember, they play the lead roles in this game - er, it's story anyway - so we can't be more powerful than they are.

Also note that it's still unknown what the devs are gonna do with the Incarnates.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I've read the book. I think it was a great book. Anyway, I never got that they were reincarnates. That helps. So, now they just have to figure out a way to let any number of people be an incarnate of any number of things...that might prove to be difficult.

[/ QUOTE ]
There are a few things or.. possibilites:

The Incarnates has always been thought of as an EAT, which means a seperate EAT, not a fusion like Statesman (Tanker+Incarnate) and Lord Recluse (MM+Incarnate). So if it were to be seperate, it could either be a whole new.. thing. Like from the beginning, you're able to pick which being you'd be reincarnated with.

Another possibility is the fusion - one solution for that is probably like the Patron system, where you pick one and you're stuck with them from lvl 41-50.

All in all, I do hope that it's a seperate EAT. I don't think anyone should expect them to be 'god-mode' EATs (aka more powerful than other ATs) but I think it would be interesting to see what the devs have come up with. Some speculate that the Incarnates are the EAT coming in the expansion box - I'd rather see the Coralax but.. we'll see.

Wow, I just have to say wow. I don't know how long you've or anyone else has been browsing the forums, reading the interview or whatnot, but I can't imagine how much has been going into it. Kudos to you, because I don't have the time or effort.

Sometimes, I think it's more fun to think about what the possibilities are that are coming out than to actually get them. My antipation for the Kheldians totally overwhelmed how I actually felt when I got them. I just hope that whatever the new archetypes are, they won't disappoint. I really hope that it's like what I read in an interview, that they're going to not just slap some powers together and call it an EAT. I hope they come up with something that combines ATs.
