It has been mentioned.. several times. New content is on its way.
And don't forget you can reach incarnate levels doing older parts of the game too. This game has a huge amound of content that we shouldnt skip just todo two trials!
- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!
I dont visit the forums much any more so i havent heard. Are they planning on another trial or 2 or are we actually going to get some contacts and incarnate missions, also? I'd love to be able to get threads in missions just like shards.

The trials will be coming before Issue 21 (one of them at least for sure), so I am anticipating some kind of solo/small team Incarnate stuff to be released in Issue 21. Shouldn't be too much longer.

Do what I've been doing lately; get together with a bunch of friends, start new toons and work your way through things like The Hollows, Striga and all the other content that nobody ever does these days because they're PLing in AE or running WSTs for the bonus XP all the time. It's actually really good fun and kind of nostalgic.
We spent a good 15 minutes on Frostfire just playing with the Ice slides (Ice slidey Mekman pets are awesome, BTW 
) - Devs, if you're paying attention, MORE MAPS WITH ICE SLIDES!.

I thought only Keyes Island Reactor was coming before i21, and the Hamidon Trial was supposed to be released with i21?|

Either way, Incarnate content is supposed to be a frequent addition in the future.

IIRC the Devs mentioned during last week's Usteam chat that they were intending to give us a new iTrial roughly once per Issue into the foreseeable future. Of course that remains to be seen, but if we do end up getting a new iTrial roughly every 2-3 months then we will have plenty of options relatively soon.

I don't have a single tier 4 Incarnate power on my main and I'm already sick of the trials. Task Forces were great because you could do so many different ones without exemplaring. Now, it is hard to find a team for a TF because everyone is grinding away at the trials like they have to get their Incarnate powers now.
I'm definitely frustrated when a league spends 15 minutes to fill the last 2-3 spots. It may take 5 minutes to get the majority of the players needed for the trial, but some leaders think they HAVE to be completely full before starting. The trials only take 20-30 minutes to run, but spending just as much time forming a league is dumb.

Except, of course, that the costs of doing it the only other way (via collecting Incarnate Shards) are obscenely punitive at 2.5 million Inf and 10 Shards for 5 Threads (though once every 20 hours you can convert 10 Shards into 10 Threads for that 2.5 million Inf). Can't be arsed to do the math to see how much Inf and Shards you need to get to unlocking the current slots and filling them with Very Rares that way, but it's been posted elsewhere on the forum and it's *VERY* nasty.

Let's assume you only convert Shards to Threads once every 20 hours, so you get a 1:1 ratio.|

(Try getting that running solo...)

That annoys me to no end: The Trial can be done with less than a full complement. Is it really worth, over the course of a hundred trials to wait around literally for hours and hours and hours just to ensure that you don't get that one in a hundred jerk who gets tagged onto your league who clicks the towers when you told everyone not to? Just one-star the jerk and kick them if they wind up in your league again.|

The iTrials can be completed with the minimum number of players -- it scales. Let's all agree to stop waiting 20 minutes for one more person.

Yes, please let's. Besides, more people = more lag. Nobody likes lag. Say yes to smaller Leagues!

Cross Server Raiding would've served these trials much better, that way there is always trials forming up and making it much easier to get on a team.

A new Trial will be tested this month, and released before I21 - the current plan is to release at least one Trial with each new Issue, and for this first year of the Incarnate system, they're also aiming to release more Trials in between the Issues, to build up a good selection of them - kinda like we have multiple TFs we can pick from at 50.

Is there any way that we could get new contacts in PI or G-Ville just for Incarnates? Make all the missions at +4 or whatever so that smaller teams can run them and be able to get Shards, Threads and other goodies? Or even new zones specifically for levels 50-54? Just something other than the same 2 things that take forever to form. |

One of the guys I have been running Trials with announces when he first starts recruiting or when we just finished a prior trial that the Trial will begin in 18 min. And we start in 18 min whether we have a full group or not. It is a very effective way to run things. Everyone knows just how long they have for selling, bio breaks, getting drinks, etc. We're usually full when we start, but not always.
