Way more in there than I was expecting. Keyes is gonna be fun.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

True story. Good stuff ahead.

I'm impressed. I thought I20.5 would be pretty much just Keyes Island. Also nice to see those Incarnate costume pieces that were teased a while back.

The buff changes will make a lot of people happy. Me, not sure about it yet, I still want to be able to stack them!

Now I wonder if people will complain about the difficulty of Keyes. Probably not to the degree of the other trials since everybody has incarnate powers. Although, I'm looking forward to it, I like Keyes the best.

Wailing and gnashing of the teeth will be abundant, guaranteed... but fun will still be enjoyed by many. If you play anything that heals, be prepared to be groped by your league-mates. ;]

To make buffing easier for Teams and Leagues, these buff powers now affect all the eligible characters within a 30-foot-radius around the targeted character. (Previously, you had to target and buff each individual character to use these powers.)
  • Cold Domination (Defenders, Controllers, Corruptors): Ice Shield and Glacial Shield
  • Force Field (Defenders, Controllers, Masterminds): Deflection Shield and Insulation Shield
  • Kinetics (Defenders, Controllers, Corruptors): Increase Density and Speed Boost
  • Sonic Resonance (Defenders, Controllers, Corruptors): Sonic Barrier and Sonic Haven
  • Thermal Radiation (Controllers, Corruptors, Masterminds): Fire Shield and Plasma Shield

Well I can't deny I'm stoked about the AoE buff thing (wheeee SB in one hit!) It seems like it might take the, shall we say talent, out of keeping up a buff chain... Not all Kins are created equal ya know. :P
Anyways... Rock On

True story. There's plenty of talentless Kins out there.............


















...and most of them turn into excellent players (eventually)

Automatic Cut Scene Skipping In Incarnate Trials: If all the characters in a League have successfully completed an Incarnate Trial, the introductory cut scene for the Trial is automatically skipped so you can dive straight into the game action. Interstitial cut scenes (those in the middle of a Trial) are not skipped.

Praise baby Jesus. I was starting to wonder if these were going to be part of some new "Bored to Tears" badge series by now...

And yet there are people that can't seem to do it.

I fall under this category when on anything /kin.

Hell I didnt even have it on my Kin until the changes to Health, Stamina, ect. Maybe now though some will be lucky enough to catch a buff or two when close enough to me. If not, oh well! I've never seen a situation where SB has made or broken a mission/trial/tf completion.

Making sure a team is buffed at all times just isnt my thing. That said, I try to stay away from ATs that require team buffing for that very reason.

I read that and was reminded of time spent as a teaching assistant in a high school remedial math class, thank you very much.


'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Well perhaps, with an AoE Speed boost, even I can be a competent Kin player.

Gotta say I really dislike the buff change. All I see it doing is making me feel a whole lot less involved with all aspects of my character. Really it only caters to the lazy. Seeing a good kin as opposed to a bad kin on a team was probably the most noticeable thing you'd ever see (and man is it noticeable), same with many other support sets, and having good players on those roles can define a run, especially the ones that can set pace. Sure this won't really take anything away from them, but it doesn't really help those that can't, it just gives them less buttons to mash.
