Issue 19 will feature 9 new levels?
DOES THAT MEAN LV59? I can very easily be misreading that.
ALSO KINETICS MELEE AND ELECTRIC CONTROL HOLY YES.

Let's just say that a certain old friend and architect of the original hami raid strategies, Marut, nailed this newly released info so accurately three weeks ago in another section of the forums, that Posi himself had to enter a thread.
My speculation on the incarnate system was this;

(03-08-2010, 09:15 PM) Logically what reason would you have to advance a character which has reached the level cap, and the IO cap in essence via purps/pvp, to fight Infernal for the nine thousandth time? For that a single buff toon is capable of turning a lot of AT's into an AV killer. What better reason then an arch-nemesis, one you can only beat as you learn to tap into the power of the Fountain of Zeus under the tutelage of either Marcus Cole or Stefan Richter. As far as the the mechanics of a Nemesis system the game already has a basic setup, with custom critter creation, and certain missions unlocking mobs that follow you to all corners of a map, additionally since pets can now zone there's no reason a custom npc enemy couldn't. And since Ultra Mode was removed from GR for i17 you have to believe they're working on more then a new zone/npc's/missions/emotes to fill the paid expansion. |

My understanding was that GR would have 1 level of the Incarnate system and i19 would have the rest.|

Thanks for sharing Silas!
Horus will be happy to hear we are getting Staffs in a future issue! WOOT!
And I am VERY excited that every archtype is getting a new powerset with GR! That makes it a much easier MUST BUY! I am glad we will see that!
Looks like GR will be i18 and i19 sounds very interesting! Can't wait!

Let's see
Blasters: Dual Pistols
Scrappers: Kinetic Melee
Defenders: Dual Pistols
Controllers: Electric Control
Tankers: Kinetic Melee
Brutes: Kinetic Melee
Corrupters: Dual Pistols
Stalkers: Kinetic Melee
Dominators: Electric Control
Masterminds: Demon Summoning
Yep, that all adds up.
What I'm really excited about are the 'incarnate abilities' they mentioned.
@Demobot
Also on Steam
Thanks for the info, Silas.
Edit: Although I can't say that I like the idea o' startin' the premise o' bumpin' the level cap.

From what I understand, they're not bumping the level cap per se. Instead you'll still be level 50, but get 10 Incarnate levels. I could be wrong, so we'll have to wait and see. If we can keep all of our enhancements and get access to extra powers and slots, I'm all for it.

Well, the kinetic melee thing look interesting.
Maybe I can use that instead of rolling a MA scrapper and side-switching him to villanside for concept reason.
In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
hum I like the idea of a Electric Control 
and that incarnate system seems interesting but I guess we'll have to wait for more info on that...

It's more of a sideways expansion of our powers rather than an upwards one - level 50 will stay as the top level.

I am soooo looking forward to the end-game material. That has long been a criticism of CoX that it lacked end-game content. Very nice.

Otherwise, endgame is something this game has needed for awhile. Endgame that can challenge IOd out characters would be even better. Right now Hami raids are about it. LRSF and STF can take an inordinate amount of time with people with bad builds or that don't listen, but there's not much you can do about that outside of, you know, TFing with a close-knit group.
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

I've decided that I <3 you again for posting this, Silas. Considering, you know, that I usually </3 you to begin with.
Can't see anything I won't like with i17, GR and i19, to be honest.. All good stuff that I'm looking forward to - and more endgame content is always good, too. Looking forward to seeing what GR'll be like, and only a few months left to find out.

There definitely will not be a raising of the 50 cap, probably ever, but think of the incarnate IO's as a second tier on your regular power slots.
I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm not. I've got a few ideas that I bounced around in my head about how they might implement this, and a few were okay, and a few were not. I just don't want it to be somethin' easy to obtain. |

I guess we'll have to see how it plans out.

remember how long it took to go from 49 to 50. It will be longer for the incarnate levels I am sure.
I hope they get a really good single target attack so when I play my fire/ice tank again i wont rely on an immob/burn to defeat things.
I am glad I closed my second account now. With the added time sink and my lack of time, incarnate levels for me will be a luxury.
I am looking forward to new content... and electrical control. And what tank can I make with kinetic melee... I guess it will have to be a brute.
YMMV---IMO

Be nice to see my ole faithful blaster go Ding!
Alittle late, but better late than never.
Q #1: DOES THAT MEAN THEYS RASING DA CAP!?!
MY A: No, by the way I've interpreted it, it'll be 10 extra levels after 50, but still recognized as lvl 50. Sort of what they do for another game NcSoft owns, Guild Wars.
Q #2: ZOMFG! TWO MOAR POWERSETS!?
My A: Yes, I had the same reaction.. Especially to kinetic melee.. <3'ing it already.
Hopefully those extra levels will include a few more enhancement slots.
Here.
Enjoy.
