The update to Issue 20, Incarnates Ascend, is launching on Tuesday, June 28, 2011!

As a result, all live servers will be taken down between 6:00 a.m. PDT (9:00 a.m. EDT / 2:00 p.m. BST / 15:00 CEST) and 10:00 a.m. PDT (1:00 p.m. EDT / 6:00 p.m. BST / 19:00 CEST).

If you’re not familiar with the content of this upcoming update, get ready to go head to head with Anti-Matter in a brand new addition to the high level storyline: the Keyes Island Incarnate Trial.

New Incarnate Lore pets will also become available, as well as stunning new Merit Rewards, Quality of Life upgrades and an expansion of the League system!

This Summer keeps on getting more and more super!

Just so you're aware, there's an extra " at the end of the link causing it to break.

I think if you want you can either head to the Beta threads or you can post to the most recent patch notes thread in the test forum.

All I know is, 50% up-time, unkillable, AoE, -30% to hit debuff with a good range debuff, plus some decent healing HERE I COME!


Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

Speaking of this, can we get Primal Clockwork in the next round? The pets no longer seem to be limited to Praetorian groups (e.g., Carnival of Shadows, Rikti, Arachnos). Don't particularly care what they do, as long as they are proper clockwork and have the nifty summon effect that Assembler Princes and such use for their minions.

Black Scorpion said that after this, the Lore slot won't get anymore upgrades for a bit, while they expand other slots.
Although extra lore trees in the store could be possible

It had to be during the week I'm in charge of VBS with no free time. Oh well, it'll make the following weekend that much better.

I20.5 has some outstanding shinies, so I'm very excited! I haven't done a lot of Incarnate stuff yet, but all those new Lore pets and new costumes give me something to strive for.

I like all of this but one part and I really hope the Devs give us this choice. I play with my husband who has failing eye sight and others who see fine, they have one thing they all agree on they do not like to be speed boosted. The team wide buff of speed boost though easier isn't very good to those who do not wish it. Some people simply have trouble moving with it on. Can there be a setting that allows us to be prompted if we wishes to be buff? Kinda like with the tp, some of us enjoy having a prompt ask us if we wish to accept a tp or not. This will cut down on in team fights of those who wish a speed boost vs those who do not.


Goodbye City Of Heroes....

There's an NPC that will turn off the speed increase from speedboost.

Locate Null the Gull sitting atop the truck inside Pocket D, you can select things like turn off the run effect from SB (you still get SB's other benefits).

I myself look forward to visiting Null the Gull as I do not like having my alts zooming around like runaway cruise missiles because of kinetics with the attitude of "I eat crank for breakfast and will give you SB whether you want it or not".

Yes, playing kinetics I also approve of Null the Gull because it's not easy to prevent yourself from accidentally SBing a "Waah! Don't SB me!" person in the middle of a huge melee if you cannot use the team bars to target all the time. This way everyone should be happy and you can still buff your team for END and recharge without having someone scream bloody murder at you because he ran between you and your target and got SBed by mistake. I really appreciate the devs' work on this.

Oh, great. The day before my wedding! It's gonna be a while before I can play i20.5. Hopefully by then players will have developed a good strategy for Keyes Reactor.

I'm right there with you, Dyne. With luck we can pry open Black Scorpion's armor so his heart can grow three sizes before the next update, and he can sneak in a few Primal Clockwork for those of us who love the little creatures. They'll go nicely with the Veteran Pets, and the Gears temporary power (which is still obtainable by Flashback).

What do you say, Black Scorpion? Is there anything we can do to convince you that Primal Clockwork Lore Pets are worth some time invested in them?
