What Bill said. Don't get me wrong, I'd love more powers and slots on a character but since we're getting Incarnate Levels Soon(tm) I think adding more level 50 improvement stuff is premature.

Is that a brand new power? We have no idea, and I havent heard anything to suggest it is. If it is, then you're right, this suggestion is moot.|

My idea was to purely grab one more power out of out given options to add to our builds. Really, I have a few builds Id want even more powers just for concept.
However, I figure to many powers would break it. One more power not so much.
For instance, there are a few builds purely for concept, I wish I could take all 5 Epic powers. I can't. This would change that.
Now if Incarnate levels allow this, then yup, again, my suggestion is nothing. But I haven't seen anything mentioned on it, for this to be the case. So suggestion made.

There's quite a few powers I'd love to grab on a build, just for concept. For example...Hand Clap. I have a concept that could use it for a concept only power, but then if I take it, I might have to give up something else.
Hell, I'm easy and would be happy to just have the ability listed with no slots at all...
I wouldn't use Hand Clap during normal missions. But knowing my toon has the power would just go so well with the concept.

I know my reply was a bit terse. Thing is - right now, all I can say is "Wait and see." It's all we *can* do.
Alternately, get more suggestions for temp powers. I don't see anything wrong with "crafting" a hand clap-like power, for instance. And you wouldn't have to wait 'til 50 for it.

I'd like that as well. I would love for instance a craftable REZ power ala RotP without the damage.|

Both the fire and ice version (ice version given out during the winter event). Eithout the stun/dmg but the 10-15 second of real invicibility. Maybe even the ability to stack it when crafting.
Ie...I can get 5 charges per crafting and they stack so I can get up to 100 charges if I want to.

Incarnate levels are more levels and they're not. Perhaps we'll get powers that are powers and are not.
Dec out.
I'm thinking it'll be 4 more powers (as the APP/PPP) and 6 more slots (as in 1 per the extra 6 levels).

No, they've already confirmed it won't be like that. It's some kind of system we haven't seen before.
Dec out.
My guess is some sort of global stat boost. Kinda like set bonuses that don't require IOs. I have nothing to back up that guess, just my speculation.
That'd be neat. It'd make us "more powerful" like they said.
Dec out.

Well see, my suggestion is for a TF that gives a new power (just 1)...not more levels.

Only what he said is no matter what happens, the two things we won't get are more powers or more slots. Even just one. I'm not making this up to be ugly here, that's what the man said, and it honestly is his call.

Heh, tbh some sort of 'global slot' makes the most sense. Im certain I remember some unknown slot making its way into one of the Betas that was then hastily gotten rid of...either that or it was the Praetorian salvage that popped up then was whisked away again. My memory core needs cleaning out of glitch mice. Again...
But global slots have been speculated as the things that make most sense since the announced the Incarnate stuff.

I know I can't be the only one who's thought "If I could just grab one more power and slot it!"
So, I was thinking, how would one make this fair? Vet rewards are out since it wouldn't be within the first year. I think anything within the first year is perfectly reasonable to be "OMG POWERFUL"
IE...if the skip travel preq was within the first year as a reward, I think there would have been less complaints about it, even if I find most people still grab the preq anyways.
Then it dawned on me.
A NEW TF/SF! Either one on each side, or a Co-Op! Level 50 only! Reward Merits or a 1 time only option (like a respec trial).
More power!
Pick one unselected power from your Primary/Secondary/Pool/Epic and you get that power with 6 slots.
OR
Pick one power, and then maybe you have to slot out that one power power by repeating the TF untill it's slotted.
So, first time Option is Merits or New Power (1 slot)
Then you do it the second time, you get the option of Merits and 1 slot in New Power, which it automatically slots.
Then once it's slotted out fully, you only have the option of Merits.
...either way sounds fair. And none of it seems to game breaking to me. It's even a way for someone to grab all 5 Epic Powers if they want all 5 of them.
And seeing as how anyone can access this, it wouldn't disadvantage the new player.
Thoughts?
