I think it would be highly useful to have a big banner page on the main site page, a designated stickied forum post or section, and/or a GMOTD or a new STMOTW (Strike Target Message of the Week) in game. Seems like they've hidden the announcement pretty deep for casual players that don't know how to look through the forums. This was the first time I saw the actual strike target announced anywhere official and I was looking around for it.

I don't disagree with your suggestions - I think a Strike Target of the Week message could be pretty cool if done correctly. |

However, if a casual player wants to do these, it's probably because they want the Incarnate rewards they offer, and if they are into Incarnate stuff, they must already be one the boards and/or wiki, because there is no way a casual player could figure out that system on their own. I read the boards and wiki almost daily and I still have more questions about the Incarnate system than I do answers

More likely the hardcore player wants the incarnate rewards, whereas the casual player would simply want to play. The whole system seems far to grindy to encourage casual players much.

Note that a link has been added to the CoX updater also, so that's pretty visable.

Of course, links from the updater only open into Internet Explorer. For bonus points, in Windows 7 you can uninstall IE without any repercussions. And if IE is not installed, guess what happens when you click a link in the updater...? Nothing.

I get the arguments about how players truly interested in the strike target know to look on the forums. And a direct link works great for now, just thinking once it drops off the first page it'll be harder to find. Considering its the big feature of 19.5, a more visible, easier-to-access, method of delivery is in order. It may turn some of those casual players that could be interested into hardcore players.

Eh, it's still pretty casual friendly. The only way it will feel grindy is if you feel the need to get the new piece as soon as it's available, or if you feel the need to get each piece on multiple characters. If you're not concerned about how fast you get stuff the system is still casual friendly. |

I'm a casual player pretty much by necessity these days, and I got the Rare slotted on one of my scrappers over about 4 hours of play time last week, mostly on the weekend.
Some kind of announcement in the game itself wouldn't hurt though.

Of course if you have the TF, badging global channel for your server displayed it is likely to be pretty obvious but this really should be given more prominance in an official way.
