Issue 19: Incarnates

Or maybe something like the new zone-event-spawning-a-GM-spawning-an-instance style that Lord Winter's realm introduced to the game?

I'd already suggested something like thtát as a revamped normal zone event - like for the Steel Canyon fires, the Hellions are using the fires as part of a ritual to summon a fire demon - you'd defeat a set number of arsonists, which would unlock an instance of the burning building - inside you'd havea time limit to destroy altars/pentagrams/glyphs that they'd set up - once you'd done that, a GM fire demon would spawn, which you'd also have to take down within a time limit.

Or the Troll rave in Skyway City - defeat the ravers outside to spawn an instance of the rave warehouse - inside, defeat Supatrolls and destroy drug stashes to spawn a huge, mutated Supatroll GM.

Or a new one in Brickstown - an Arachnos Flyer would spawn and drop Arachnos soldiers into the Zig - once you'd defeated enough of them, an instance of the Zig interior would spawn - inside, you'd have to defeat various generic Villains like the ones we meet in the Safeguard missions, and then back outside, we'd have to take down the Flyer.

I doubt players will be forced to do anything other than XP to earn new levels. However, he might mean new costumes (ie ITF Roman gear) or even something akin to WoW's morphing where you must complete content to reach new content and the zones change as you do. That would be interesting and would definitely liven things up a bit.

This game has been built and trying to please both casual and hardcore alike. I doubt casual players will be forced to plow through content unless they can do it at their own pace. If the zone events are tied to Incarnate levels I hope it can all be accomplished by both types of players.

Hi. I'll be one of those folks really ticked off if forced team content is the only way to advance the incarnate levels.

Wow, I'm entirely the opposite. If it's not something you need to get with a team in a Task Force-like manner then they might as well just give me the incarnate levels right off the bat.

A blurb from the MMORPG.com article on CoH at Pax.

"Incarnate content will take place exclusively in Praetoria, and will also include new zone events"

So, does that mean that the Incarnate lore will maybe be somehow tied into the Praetorian lore?
Like does Tyrant still have access to the Well of the Furies in his world? Was that why he murdered Stefan Richter? Could it be linked to his ability to tame the Hamidon?

yeah i play at like 2-5 am and no one is on, and I'm not changing servers and I really like to play alone anyway, so I hope all this new stuff is available to people who just like to solo too. The game always has been solo friendly. I do think things that are group, should reward with group oriented rewards so like the roman costume pieces can be achieve by solo or late nighters like me who have never seen the inside of that mission. i meani quit WoW and many other mmos because end-game was big raids or groups etc. I DO WISH those costume pieces were tied to solo content. Again group stuff should be group rewards. It makes more sense that way. I have 14 level 50s and I can't even get the mission done once. I don't play on weekends and weeknights I am working right now.. but I will be playing at about 2:30 am .. alone, as always, but I enjoy it.

triumph. I want them on a couple characters though. I don't start playing until about 2-2:30 am

odd my reputation was fine, now it's -98, like a person with forum admin powers did it cause no way that many people.. That is so rude. I don't even cause trouble on here.

no one could have took it from 34/38 to -98 in 30 seconds hmm.

anyway, no it's east time.
