The process starts with you going to Ouroboros and meeting a man named Mender Ramiel. He is from the future, a future you helped him escape from. You are asked to re-live that experience through his memories, and in the process of playing that Story Arc you will begin your path to becoming an Incarnate.
This is what makes me think that 'Limitless Radial Freeem' is not a joke power, but something that is a brief glimpse of you at...well, maybe not full Incarnate Power. But a 'Future You' that can cause something like the melted down Ouroborous we see in the screenies. And strong enough to consider all those AVs as just another mob.

I may be reading too much into it. But that'd be damn cool.


Way off topic, but;
This made me lol Very original, eh?

That link won't survive very long, I think

On the subject of Black Scorpion's info, he's reconfirmed what we were told at PAX when the Incarnate system was first mentioned - the Incarnate content that we'll use our new powers on is made up of raids:

Quote:
"We also have new raid encounters which will be the key to powering up those additional slots with their own abilities. These encounters will be released over time as well, giving players fresh challenges to try out their god-like abilities upon."

I'm not so sure about that. The interviewer's question about Positron leaving for another game internally took me quite by surprise. WW makes a point of not commenting, but...

Eh, I suppose its time. I hope they'll tell us if he does transfer off CoH. You spend so many years talking with someone, rooting for them, etc. Its a shame to suddenly see them up and go with no word of goodbye.
