Discussion: Issue 20: Incarnates

With Issue 20: Incarnates, Heroes and Villains must push themselves to new levels of power in order to protect the world. The Well of the Furies, a sentient source of cosmic super powers, has started taking an active role in the universe again, but appears to have gone mad! It has empowered Emperor Cole, ruler of Praetoria, with nearly limitless energy. Emperor Cole has shared his newly imbued power with his lieutenants, turning them from already powerful Archvillains into cosmic menaces.
The Heroes of Paragon City® and the Villains the Rogue Isles® have faced the likes of Marauder, Mother Mayhem, Nightstar, and Siege in the past, but now each of these Praetorians possesses the power of an army. Only a dedicated group of Incarnates stands a chance of defeating them.

You'll find a lot more information on the upcoming Issue 20 here!

I think you were scooped - but it' nice to have an offical thread too

Since there wasn't anything mentioned about the next incarnate slot in the issue called Incarnates, I won't jump to conclusions but I will say:

IF there isn't anything in this issue about it, ima be very disappointed.

After reading this ....I'm officially signing up for another 6months of duty .


This sounds epic and if the devs somehow , some way come up with some water lvls , my head will explode !!!


Hears to the best MMO on the market today

Woot. Now where's the official trailer? I did mine already.

Um... that's it?

I don't have any incarnate level characters, nor am I likely to any time soon. That's fine, that's my decision, and I knew that these next few issues would be dominated by the shiny new endgame, which is necessary. I don't have a problem with that.

(And I do quite like the in-world justification for the Praetorians now being a lot more powerful. Nicely done.)

But... when the only new non-Incarnate content is two TFs I have to say I'm utterly underwhelmed. As a technical and gameplay challenge TFs can be fun, but as story experiences they fail completely.

I love the world of CoH/V, but an issue in which all of the announced new story content is team only is deeply disapointing.

I20: United we stand, divided we... do old content.

Cool group content and nice on the respec badges. Any word on some powerset/patron/epic proliferation or epic/patron power customization coloring?

L20-40 Villain Strike Force: The Fire and the Flames

NEW VILLAIN SF!!!

That is all

OMG!!!! *has a heart attack*

Will respec badges be awarded retroactively as well?

I'm- a tad disappointed. With this issue gathering so much hype, I was hoping for some powerset proliferation or something.

What's there sounds nice, though. Leagues seem like they'll quickly become a part of the game as if they were always there, and more task forces will add a little variety. Even better that the villains are getting their own task force, and one that covers the 30-35 gap at that. I'm curious about who the contacts are.

Overall, like what's there, but expected a little more core stuff. The respec badges sound like a bug fix in a regular patch note rather than a feature in an issue.

I'm wondering if more incarnate info will be released with the next Producers Letter??

I mean he was the one to spill the beans about the Rare/Very rare slots being opened up!

I think there might be a few more bits of info at PAX East later this month

Yes! A villain strike force that covers the 30-35 hole we have now.

Hoping to see that list expand with lots of the "little" stuff that always ends up making my day in every issue.
