No Incarnate System with GR

Now this is doom.

Now I'm depressed.



(Of course we can hope against type and maybe they'll get this right straight out of the box.

And pigs will fly and I'll own a pretty pink pony!)

If it's any consideration, I waited to preorder until I got to play with Demon summoning. And then it was a no brainer for me.

Other than that, what has been talked about (now and previously) being in GR has never hit any buttons for me.

The only thing that really, truly excites me about GR is being able to trade inf cross faction and be able to take any character on any task/strike force.

The question is; do I completely give up my practice of having every TF/SF badge on every character? :0

I'm pretty sure those features arnt even part of GR their free part of i18.

Sorry, I seemed to have missed that - what is the "o-zoneo-zone" - is it literally what it implies?

Is it a big deal? Depends on the player.

Because the components you need for the slots are obtained via TFs; it would have been nice to have it released with GR. I say this because I believe many players will be completing TFs that they previously couldn't run because of their faction. It's a "kill two birds with one stone" kind of thing.

Personally all this means for me is that many of my 50s will more than likely be on the shelve until I19. Which I won't be expecting until the end of November or early December. That's just more time to level up something in Praetoria.

Watch that NDA breakage, EB. Or I'm assuming it is, I didn't know that about TFs and the system.

GreenFlame, if you look at the OP, I say I understand why they're doing it, but this does take a big draw out of Going Rogue at the same time. I'm wondering what the expansion is going to do (if anything at this point) to pick up the slack. So yes, it is something of a big deal, slight it or not.

I thought they already mentioned the removal of all the associated content on Posi's post? To be honest it gets difficult trying to keep these things in order, especially since they already mentioned the alpha slot removal. I really wish they would do away with these closed beta NDAs as far as CoH forums go. We are the same community, having to "bite your tongue" and/or skate around conversations is annoying, especially if there is no malicious intent. It's not like Beta testers never leak info, or engage in other mishaps such as sharing exploits via Team Speak, Vent, email, phone etc etc.

If I broke it I didn't mean to, but I'll take my lumps and won't hold any grudges.

I'll reiterate my point that it was a good idea to hold off on the Incarnate Preview.

I think the main draw for GR remains: any AT, any side. Even though you can't start off as a VEAT/Kheldian in Praetoria, once they hit 20 even they can join in the side-switching fun. Also, since a lot of ground work has been done for I19, they should be able to get it out to us in a (more) reasonable time frame.

My only real concern is what it does for Going Rogue's offerings. There's already been a lot of frustration with its seeming lack of content (not to mention how little we seem to know about it, even at this point), so this doesn't make it any better. I do hope I19 comes along relatively soon (though done well) in the fall, as I really am interested to find out what this new end game stuff will do. But I can certainly understand why it was pulled from GR's offerings.

EB, hopefully it's not a big deal. It just stood out to me as I hadn't heard that bit at all, so I figured it had to be something from the beta. Posi's post just mentions drop rates and costs generally, not how you get anything for the endgame stuff.

It gets confusing trying to be two different people with the same community sometimes...

It's all about [REDACTED], which is cool because of [REDACTED], but they really need to [REDACTED] before they [REDACTED].

All I know as someone not in the beta is that it's a new endgame setup for CoX. You get slots of some sort that power up your character further than we can now, and this all also opens up or allows for more difficult content that will challenge people with these extra slots.

What the slots are, how they work, etc., is all unknown until beta opens up. Then I'm assuming people can chat how it was working to their heart's content, but I'm assuming the devs will be working on it further until it's released in the game (sounds like Posi still wants to open up one slot to us before I19 hits). So it'll be something like what the people in closed beta got to see, but that was only a snippet and should be improved further based on their feedback and the dev's work.

If you want anything more on it, you'll have to do searches for posts, and look for all the sneak peak things we've had from the devs. It won't be much more than the above (if anything).
