Issue 21 Special Update: Media Blitz is live with not one but two Incarnate Trials for you to pit your favorite hero/villain/rogue/vigilante/Praetorian against increasingly more Machiavellian foes!

In the first Incarnate Trial, you will have to fight your way into the TPN Campus complex in the heart of Imperial City, in order to broadcast the truth about Emperor Cole to the citizenry and gain their support against him. Cole, for his part, sees an opportunity of his own, and sends his elite IDF and DUST forces to TPN, under the leadership of Maelstrom!

After the successful broadcast at TPN Campus, however, the people of Praetoria become more loyal to Cole than ever before. Then, members of the Resistance begin turning to support Cole. Soon, nearly all of Praetoria is enthralled in support of Cole, leaving you and a small band of those resistant to the control to investigate the problem. When it is eventually discovered that Mother Mayhem has perfected Mindwashing and is using powerful psychics to project it upon the entire world, you resolve to stop her in the second Incarnate Trial available now!

Head on over to the Issue 21 Overview section for more detailed guides to the TPN Campus and the Minds of Mayhem Incarnate Trials!

Machiavellian?! I mean, it is a fantastic adjective, and I have to give props for pulling it out, but... I would bet money that over half the players of this game do not know what that means.

That said, I am looking forward to giving these a shot on Live. Though I don't know how much I'll be grinding them...

Machiavellian foes are a Nemesis plot.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to getting a group of incarnates together tonight to join these trials and flail around together. If anyone's on Virtue around 6:00pm PST, swing by the RWZ for a chaotic mess of a time. We might fail, but it'll be a fun experience.

Can't wait.

That's, like, a rap guy thing, right?

You're a Prince for pointing it out, though, Wint.

Uhhhh... "If you can't stab your enemies in the back, stab them in the face?"

Gimme a break, it's been 14-15 years since I read it back in high school...

I just finished the two new trials. Please give your writers a raise.

"Resilient Alpha - The To Hit Buff in this tree has been moved from the Radial tree to the Core tree. The Taunt Duration in this tree has been moved from the Core tree to the Radial tree."

Why was this change made? Had to ask, I finally created my Resilient Core and now I have to start all over again.

Also, in-game description for Resilient Alpha Radial path/tree doesn't show it include taunt duration increase.

Note - Most likely this is the wrong place to post this question, but didn't know where else to post it.

A thousand times this. The new trials were fantastically fun. I'm enjoying the more "raid-like" experience. Having to separate the league into two groups for different mechanics during the MoM trial, ranging to having to kill the bosses around Mother Mayhem to hold her still. The interesting mechanics are truly making these trials memorable.
