2 Strike Pack-related questions

Will the Target TFs be continuing into the foreseeable future, or will they be shut down when I20 lands and the Incarnate Trials come along?

Also, do we know for sure that Incarnate Trials are team activities? I realize that Trials thus far are, but I can also envision solo Incarnate activities that are called Trials.

My assumption on both of these is "we don't know yet," but I figured I'd ask in case I missed something in the few hundred posts in the announcement discussion.

You should ask in the official discussion thread, as only Black Scorpion or another redname can answer these.

Fair enough. I'll do that.

As far as this goes, any TF introduced to the game will probably remain in the game permanently. (I assume you're referring to Apex and Tin Mage here)

So far, only the Calvin Scott TF has been removed (and is now available through Ouroboros), every other TF that has ever been released is still here and still playable.

No, they're referring to the weekly strike target and if it will still be around as an alternative way of obtaining the rare alpha component. Personally, I think they should keep it just for another option.

My guess is that it will be permanent, since he specifically mentioned that there will be badges related to them.

Yeah, we don't know. I seem to recall a rumor that, not only would some of it be a team activity, some would be a multi-team activity like the Cathedral of Pain.

My guess is that they could be used like Rikti invasions - it's something the devs can turn on and off from time to time if there's a quiet period between content releases.

Save them up, add a few Shards, and your “Notice of the Well” can be upgraded to a “Favor of the Well” which is necessary for crafting the Very Rare abilities in the Alpha Slot. Of course, once Issue 20 launches, you will be able to build these abilities with stuff found while completing Incarnate Trials as well.
As well.

It appears we can do either to build Rare/Very Rare.
