Alpha Strike is, presumably, the name of the TF/Issue. Alpha Enabled means, I'm guessing here, that any character who plays it needs to have the alpha slot of the incarnate system enabled in order to participate in it.
That's just conjecture on my part though.

And I'm also guessing that what was planned for I19 has been moved back to I20. If that's the case, then it's good for several reasons. Like, we get I19 earlier than we probably would've before and this would give the devs more time to get the next Incarnate phase ready. But that's just my speculation. |

1) You need to be Level 50.
2) You need Going Rogue.
So yeah.

I'm preparing for the "worst" - I use 3 of the 4 Fitness powers, each usually getting 2-4 slots (love procs). Having 3 new powers but no additional slots means if I get anything that I want more than one enhancement slot I need to get a bit more creative. For my high level characters? That means Hamindon Enhancements look a wee bit more interesting than they did before and could selectively replace some of my high-level Common IO's. My set IO's are usually all at level 25 for exemplaring purposes, so... eeek.

It also sounds like it's more of a mini-Issue, like I15, and that I20 is more like the original idea for I19 - so it's still going to be a a sort of sneak preview of the Incarnate system.

I have to agree. Power Pool customization just keeps getting further and further away.
It's incredibly annoying that I can highly change the appearance of my GFX on powers... except the APPs and PPPs.
It's a nagging, irritating annoyance that my SS/Elec/Mu Brute is covered in blue good-guy electricity and then I throw red bolts of electricity.
Even my fire/flame controller is not looking forward to making 41 because I'll just have to shoehorn in one of the APPs without a bit of coloring. So I'm going to have this jarring thing going on then too.
Hate, hate, hate not being able to customize some things.
Kheldians stuck in Peacebringer or Warshade colors, non-tintantable Widow psychics...
It makes me want to not take those powers.
Still here, even after all this time!
Bring on the "mini" i say

I don't see why people worry that much about not getting more slots. You're already limited by how many slots you can put into your build now, this won't change anything, what does this do now?|

Runner Up LOL: "The game is too easy!!" xD |
Oh look...I'm going to grab those powers I don't really need to slot and put them into my build now
Either for concept or min/max purposes.Oh look, I can add Combat Jumping for additional +Defense, Immbolize Protection, and slot it with a +RCH LotG.
When before I might have skipped it on my Hover Blaster.
It gives wiggle room!
And for those who use Ninja Run as a travel power because they needed to make room in their build...OH LOOK! A real travel power again!

Friend has high recharge Dark/invul scrapper
My warshade doesn't have it!
Though at some point Bill that dark/dark scrapper is gonna want something for end management. Good thing Stamina is going inherent!

you do realise that "Alpha Strike",could also mean the first big attack by Cole?
and that the allowing of primal earth heroes into Cole's universe could be our retalliation?

There was probably lots of stuff the devs wanted to include in Going Rogue but they just didn't have time to add it before release.
I can't see why some people are wondering 'What do I slot (if I can't slot the inherents)?'
Aid Other and Aid Self are a quick little boost to a damaged teammate or yourself. And Resuscitate coud come in handy as an emergency back up.
Hasten could be used as a panic button without much slotting, if you haven't taken it elsewhere. Pop it during an AV fight or whatever.
Combat Jumping is cheap and provides a little bit of defence, combat manoeuvrability and immobilization protection.
Recall friend might come in handy if you do a lot of teaming.
I'm already getting ideas of how to change my builds if needed.

I strongly encourage all non flying characters to try this power out. It is quite simply one of my favorite powers in the game for its versatility and almost non existent endurance cost.

The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
To respond to the "Trivializing the Game's Difficulty" argument.
The people who are consistently capable of soloing 8-man missions with level 54 and 55 enemies and are currently shouting about how super-easy the game will be with Fitness as an inherent are NOT wrong.
The people who rebuke that statement are also 100% right.
Ultimately the game is made "Easy" for the former group of players because they go out of their way to MAKE the game easy on themselves. They min-max their builds, hit softcap with IOs, get their recharge rates down or whatever is required to make their builds "Teh Uber" which, in turn, makes everything seem trivial to their IOed out min-maxed build.
Is it -wrong- to gather as much power as is possible (much less, feasible) in a game? No. It isn't wrong. Is it wrong to assume that the game will be developed around using IOs when the Devs have stated that it would never be balanced against such an easily overpowered metric? Yes.
Get back to using SOs and HOs and try running the 8 man +4 mission. Is it more difficult? Of course. Is it impossible? For some builds, yes. Does that mean the game is too hard? No.
Ultimately the difficulty of the game is entirely based on a player's perception. If you're looking for a real challenge roll up a Thugs/Poison petless mastermind and use only SOs or "standard" IOs.

All we know so far is that at PAX today the devs said that the Incarnate content will be initially Praetorian focused, there was a picture of Apex as a new Incarnate TF contact, wearing Vanguard armor and standing in the Vanguard base, and that GR has shown us that the Vanguard are taking a leading role in the fight against Tyrant, and are willing to accept the help of both Heores and Villains, just like the Resistance does, who they're helping

Wasnt i17 supposed to be content that was part of i18/GR? So if you people are saying i19 was supposed to be i18/GR too, then how big did you really think that issue was going to be?

Yes this game is super easy, I truly hope that Incarnate arcs/TFs are truly challenging (not tedious like a 250k HP AV, who is still easy).
No I don't think making fitness an inherent makes the game that much easier, but it removes the tedium of wasting 3 powers for some end management (more than half my toons would skip health now if not for stamina) and allows for even more choice in builds.
It's not like toons get fireball and MoG as inherents. Curious to see how this plays out, mostly hoping incarnates is true endgame (yes we have ITF, STF, LGTF, KhanTF, LRSF now but more are needed for variety and true endgame. That and none of them are that hard).
