'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.
Ohhh. Looks very Nemesis-y.

Females will get elemental corsets, of course. However, these will only be available through the purchaseable grab bags.

More from the Incarnate panel - street sweeping in DA gives Incarnate rewards - there's also separate Villain content in DA - plus Blue Steel is involved in some way

Word from the ustream channel, solo content will include street sweeping the new DA for incarnate rewards, blue steel will appear in new DA, fighting MoT and Diabolique, and there will be villain content.
Wish there were more details :9

That might be the Diabolique Incrante Trial |

I wonder if she's fled to Primal Earth now that she's freed from Tyrant's control? Also, her use of spirits and apparitions to boost her power in FW might mean that she'd be drawn to all the spirits left in DA as a new source of power.

Keep in mind, they also just mentioned there's a Diabolique trial, they didn't say how big the event would be. It could just as easily be a small 1-8 person trial too.

Street sweeping? That's... kind of an odd thing to put emphasis on. Does taht mean no solo instanced missions or story arcs?|

I wish we had some hard facts coming out of the other room... all we hear is random cheering in the background of the boring market panel.

I imagine the emphasis on street sweeping is that *everything* in revamped Dark Astoria will give some sort of incarnate rewards, including street sweeping. I'm sure there will be several story arcs, possibly a TF and a GM roaming around.

Can't say for sure there's no missions/arcs. I would imagine by street sweeping they mean that any mob in the zone is probably capable of dropping threads/shards. Possibly a GM capable of dropping Astrals/Emps? Or something. Possible a zone event and/or taskforce folks can participate in.
And good gods, the marketing panel is crap. Total mistake to stream it instead of the Content Sneak Peak *so many* people have been waiting on.

believe they already mentioned instanced missions, being able to street sweep is a added bonus.

In the art panel, I e of the screens showed it for male, female, and huge. So yes, females are covered in Elemental Order. |

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

They're just giving an example of how the Incarnate zone will work in exactly the same way as a normal zone - only with Incarnate rewards.

Did they CONFIRM Thread drops? Or is it just junky old useless Shards? I mean, that's the $1 million question, whether or not this soloable content actually offers the SAME rewards as trials do (Threads, Astrals, and Emps.)|

Aaargh. It's so frustrating that no information is coming out of the other room... they've definitely been UStreaming the wrong panels.

And, yah, I get the feeling they just set the camera up in one room and coincidentally happened to be the panels the forum users didn't care about, instead of actually thinking "Which panels do we want to film".

And a note on the fire/ice armor pictures Golden Girl posted: you can see the size that Titan Weapons are.

We're between panels -- if anybody's reading this and planning to attend the Incarnate panel PLEASE, please take and post some notes... we've got next to nothing from the powers panel and I'm concerned that we'll get a repeat non-performance.
