Actually before the Incarnate System was yanked, there was an option to get a Penumbra of Rularuu incarnate salvage. Most players just converted Incarnate Shards to get this.

I'd also like to point out that master runs were NOT required to get Incarnate Salvage. There wasn't any upgrade or added benefit to doing a master run in terms of Incarnate salvage.

I've "experienced" practising during beta. The only way* to currently succeed on a consistent basis is to have everybody on a Vent/TS server and only with a select group of people.

There is a difference between good and bad game design that the Master badges consistently fail to address. They are not good reward design.

Edit:
* I'm sure there are groups that did it without a Vent server, but I wouldn't think they are in the majority that have completed it.

Actually, that is a separate problem. During the last week, I heard about both bugs. The one with badges not awarding after 7 days and the other one (the one I think you are talking about).

Does this sound like they are going to change the Alpha slot?

It seems the only issue they are working out at the moment is something to use it with.

And like I said, it is highly likely that future master runs will need an "exclude incarnate abilities" setting as well as "no temp powers and zero defeats".

Yes, there is something corrupt in all the hero templates.

Yes, this is what I'd recommend. I can't see how it would cause any issues with the art team either.

I hope my copy of Going Rogue comes soon.

Given what I've seen of the Alpha Slot (global buff), and the accidental sneak peek at the Destiny (PBAoE buff), Interface (adds debuff to most damaging attacks), Judgement (an AoE attack of cold/energy/fire/neg. energy), and Lore (pet), I'd say that even with the level shift that the Incarnate system isn't going to make it any easier.

The most obvious thing that would happen is either a level cap (the developers have the ability to level shift down as well as up) or to simply make the incarnate powers useless in a master run. The precedent is already there with the no temp powers for the current master runs.

Yes, you do need to go full villain. If you are level 41 or above, you should get the contact automatically.

Confirmed for Master Thief / Power Liberator, but you have to select the temp power.

What, that allowing cross faction use would break things? I've brought that up several times, and every single time somebody brings up the RP argument.

In addition, even though they are now going to be looking to even partially allow it doesn't mean that I was wrong in guessing their motivation. All it means is that despite whatever reasons they had, they are listening to players that want it.

If you think that you'll have access to the other sides bases without penalties, I think you are dreaming or just trying to fool yourself.

So what? Losing Hero/Villain merits isn't that much of a penalty as players will either pick them up on other characters and send the results to their "active" characters or ignore them completely. The lounges I'll deal with in a little bit.

You still didn't answer my question: What are you willing to give up for opposite faction base access?

You know, this is the only part of the argument that you have that I have complete sympathy with. That sympathy doesn't extend to the bases though. What you are asking for here can be done without touching the base system at all. Like I said before, the developers could make a new transport hub exclusively for vigilantes and rogues. This would be the equivalent to the hero/villain lounges.

Pros:

• Doesn't touch the base system at all.
• Provides an equal benefit for neutral characters with the hero/villain lounges.
• Adds additional opportunities for new content to be developed by the developers.

Cons:

• Roleplayers will have a fit that they can't cross-faction RP in their bases.
• Players that want benefits without penalties will be upset.

The Ouro zones would be a huge undertaking to consolidate into one zone. The beacons themselves might have code preventing placement in opposite faction bases.

I'm glad you know where the code preventing this is, maybe you should let the developers know. Otherwise the standard code rant applies.

Try doing that... Seriously try it. If you can't (and that poster agreed players can't anymore), then those groups are coalitioned in error and the coalition should be removed.

No. On the other had, transmogrified is independent of the respec badges.

There isn't, I'm glad there isn't, and I hope there never is.

Coordinating 24 players not to be killed while doing the required tasks especially since the AV is 1-shotting squishies through an "only affects self" shield goes beyond anything that would be considered "fun". That qualifies as "frustrating as heck", not fun.

Castle said that the AV should be under an "Only Affects Self" while in its shield.

This should not be happening:

Click for Ruladak crystal grenade explosion on me.

Neither should this:

Click for Ruladak shooting red energy blast.

No, you are confusing two unrelated things. Fame Points show how many counting tips you have done during that day. Morality missions have absolutely nothing to do with Fame Points. The problems you are describing are self-contained in that mission. You are either not completing an objective (defeating or talking to a NPC) or the objective needs the NPC to be lead to that objective to complete the task.

It would be helpful to know which mission you are talking about. There are around 180 tip missions spanning levels 20-50. Of which there are 12 actual morality missions that I know of.

And all this ignores game balance as villain/rogues can use villain bases which is balanced by the fact that heroes/vigilantes can use hero bases. It also ignores the balance of "Access to zones previously barred" vs "Ease of travel".

In other words, what are you willing to give up for the ability to go to the other sides zones and do missions there?

I've not seen any plans to change this.

He posted to the European Suggestions and Ideas, then to here, then to the European Player Guides section. The trolling only worked in this section.

Don't feed the trolls.

That badge text is wrong. Mother's "hospital" is the Behavioral Adjustment Facility in Northern IC. Several other badges and the heavy population of Seers point to this fact.

It should be noted that the sewer entrances don't match up either.

Any character since they closed the double locations in Pocket D.
