Discussion: Announcing Issue 21: Media Blitz!

Avatea · 10-18-2011 10:59 AM

The content update for Issue 21 is coming out soon and we've named it Issue 21 Special Update: Media Blitz!

Why Media Blitz? No, there won't be a Journalist Power Set with this update. No assailing your opponents with Ad Attack or mesmerizing them with Paparazzi Befuddlement.

With the second part of Issue 21, we will be giving our VIP players the opportunity to play through a brand new Incarnate Trial: the TPN Campus!

As a continuation to the Underground Incarnate Trial, you will be able to infiltrate the TPN Campus and battle against a mighty adversary whom you will want to keep an eye on: Maelstrom will certainly make you work for it!

A second Incarnate Trial will also become available as part of Issue 21 Special Update: Media Blitz but it will come at a later date. We'll tell you more about it closer to its launch!

But that's not all, you will also be able to unlock brand new abilities for your Alpha, Destiny, Interface and Judgment Incarnate Slots and become even more powerful and ascend even higher on the Incarnate path!

There is a lot to be looking forward to so look forward for more information on Issue 21 Special Update: Media Blitz soon!

nothing about doms or anything??? such a tease!!

Dr_Darkspeed · 10-18-2011 11:05 AM

Hmm, sounds like its just Incarnate stuff and therefore I don't find it very interesting/exciting. One the other hand, its great that there another update so soon, even if its for a part of the game I don't like as much.

So, Yay.

Always remember, we were Heroes.

I'm sure there's lots more than just Incarnate stuff, this is just the shiny part.

Bronze Knight · 10-18-2011 11:10 AM

We need to come up with the rest of the Journalist powers. All I can think of is "Pencil Pusher" for a T3 blast.

It's interesting that they are expanding the Incarnate slots we already have instead of opening up the top 5 we don't have yet. I guess they are really taking a very long view of the future of the game.

excited to see more options for incarnate powers as well as new trials, although i hope the badges are about on par with the underground trial (please for the love of everything do not make badges like you did for keyes)

HardRider · 10-18-2011 11:14 AM

Personally I'm still expecting the Omega Incarnate power to be a "I win MoKeyes" button.

I think the link on the announcment to the discussion is borked, because it sends me to the "Don't have permissions" page when I click it.

Also, Cool

I wonder what that last part means? Another Incarnate slot opening? (I'd have thought they would just come out and say that) or a new "Extremely Rare" tier added to each of the other slots?

I'd expect something like your "Extremely Rare" 5th tier before another Incarnate slot.
Like you said if this was "opening one of the last 5 Incarnate slots" they would have said that more plainly.

I'm hoping for some physical attacks, like footstomp or a shoulder charge like shield charge.

Looking at that banner it looks like players will finally have access to Malstorms pistols.

WOOT

New Alpha, Destiny, Interface, and Judgement slots? ARGH! And I'm so close to having every available Tier 4 power! I'm starting to feel like Steelclaw with his tournament.

Joking aside, this sounds wonderful. I'm really looking forward to seeing this all play out, and having even more trials to run through and play. Thanks for the investment in the end-game, development team.

So I'm guessing that will be us trying to get the info about Tyrant's deal with the Hamidon out to the people of Praetorian - and a Well-empowered Malestrom will be leading the loyalists defense of their key propaganda hub
