New Incarnate Abilities

So from what I hear, we are getting the 3rd and 4th teir alpha slots in issue 20. Has anyone heard if we are getting another piece of the incarnate system(Omega, Destiny, Lore, Hybrid, etc) in i20, or is it just the full alpha slot ability? And if we aren't getting another part in i20, does anyone know when we will?

...I wish I could sig that whole post.

I'm also worried that Going Rogue is going to be released over the next year and a half or longer... I feel that when they sold the Incarnate system as part of Going Rogue that there was an implicit agreement that it would be available when that was released.

While I can understand it not being ready on launch (nothing is ever ready on time with MMOs), I really dislike the idea of getting 1/2 a slot per issue, when issue seem to take .5-5 months. I mean right now we're at issue 19, with 10 slots it could take years for the Incarnate system to be fleshed out at this rate.

I'm a bit worried that the content they have lined up is going to get progressively harder to challenge Incarnate players without being a roadblock. I also worry that they're afraid putting too many repetitive tasks into the game all at once (such as grinding for components for 10 slots) would overwhelm players.

I would be more than happy with just unlocking everything off the bat and letting players pace themselves how they like. Right now it feels like they're both afraid to release gatekeeper content which is simply unbeatable without powering up the incarnate stuff, and also that they're worried releasing too much grindy Incarnate progression at once will make players feel overwhelmed by the time sink nature of it.

Well I thought about it, and they won't necessarily have to do the same amount per issue, and it is entirely possible that one issue may contain more than one slot (the alpha seems pretty strong IMO, so 2 weaker slots could theoretically be released at once). And as mentioned, could the remainder of alpha be released on a non issue patch update?

Who says that it will be with I20?
From what War Witch said, it seemed they were hoping to dole out the Incarnate stuff from now onward at regualr intervals, to stop the 'Content dump - Huge gap' syndrome of the past.
Which would be ideal, I have to say, and much more advisable.

So ... Tired... of... the... same... old... complaints.

Are you done with all the content? When you go to a buffet, do you get 52 plates of food, just so you can prove you CAN? No one who does anything beside this game in their real life should be complaining that there isn't enough new stuff to do.

That's just my opinion. I think this is the best entertainment value I can get for my entertainment dollar. YMMV. GLHF.

I'm guessing that the main misconception is: "Hey, the incarnate system is right there, all they need to do is add some small stuff which shouldn't take them that long"

It's a misconception because, well, you have no idea what else they're planning to add along that incarnate tree. They could give us more TF's, new powersets, new GR zones, more events, and heck they might even decide to spend some money on advertising(which they should, the game is in a great state at the moment).

I wouldn't worry.
