Plus another new Trial - so we'll have 6 by the end of the eyar, which means we'll have gotten roughly one Trial every 2 months or so, which is quite a good rate of endgame content production.

But I am curious to see what the new powers are. I'm really hoping for some more physical or meatier feeling Judgement attacks, like an earthstomp or omnibeam or something.

If they can make an Interface power that's better than or on par with Reactive Core Flawless, I will be stoked on that alone.

I'd be surprised if we get the option and don't expect it. But then, respeccing itself wasn't on the table for a little while back when the game was new. Who knows with this crazy bunch of rebel rednames?|

I'm glad to have something more to build my main character towards. Like a few others I know, if there's a goal to work towards, even if it's just more options, the game's fun to me. I blame reverse-altitis.
Still holding out hope for a Primal Clockwork Lore pet, though..

Incarnate Trial with Maelstrom as the main villain? That'll be interesting. My guess is it won't be a 12-24 sized league given we're just sneaking onto a campus.
Also, MORE abilities is awesome, but man most of my 50s already have T3/T4s on everything and now you're tossing MORE at us? So unfair! 
Naw, it's cool, it's like the Lore update with 20.5, which was awesome.

Thanks for announcing this before I start another round of Incarnate considerations. I'll hold off on grinding any more raids until I see what's coming.

Wonder if they're going to fix the existing Interface powers before they add new ones.

I think that the 2nd Trial might be the one against Mother Mayhem, as that's also a follow-up requirement to the Underground Trial, because with Vanessa dead, the Resistance don't have anyone to shield them from the Seer network anymore.

This is why I'm glad I wasn't one of those that had to have their T4s right away. Personally, I'm kinda kicking back until most of the basic Incarnate stuff is more fleshed out to even push for more T2s.
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

I'm not sure this news means people should stop earning Incarnate salvage. If anything this news means we should start hording any salvage we do get to be ready to spend it wisely once we know what the new options are. |

I think this will be the last round of slot expansions before we get new slots - I21.5 will mean that all 5 current slots will have had their launch options expanded.

It makes some sense that this may be setting the stage to unlock some of the higher slots in Issue 22.

The only thing more frustrating than doing raids in order to get stuff is doing raids and not getting stuff, even if that means getting it later. If I'm going to be running a hundred of 'em anyway, it's more fun to be able to fill in my slots while I'm in the process.

are we at least gonna fix the incarnate powers currently broke before this update ?
The alpha slot is still my favorite, since it really defines my characters and reaffirms what I like best able them. Can't wait to see more options!

Yeah, and there's no guarantee current salvage options will unlock what's coming up. New trial might mean new stuff for unlocking the higher or whatever is being added.
Also, it sounds cool, but I'll have to echo that for non-End game players, what else is there? Nothing really in the announcement.
