Yeah, there's inconsistency. My theory is that whoever's writing this shindig forgot the original story, as I'm guessing whoever wrote most of the Rikti/Vanguard stuff is gone. Note that in the last SSA, Lady Grey speaks completely differently from how she has always been characterized before.

Code:
I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

I wonder if pets will benefit from these unique Hybrid powers. Would be a shame for an MM to have scourge but only on its own weak attacks.

If I22 and beta server access in general post-Freedom are any indication, there are no more closed betas; just VIP betas.

I'd be really surprised if it wasn't supposed to work on the MM's pets (since Interface and Alpha do)...

Me too, but my concern is that Hybrid are toggle powers. I don't know of any toggles that affect just caster and his pets w/out affecting the rest of the team. I guess they could do whatever they did with Supremacy but I hope it's not aura based... unless its a 99999 ft aura.

Oh, I'm not saying that I'm 100% positive all betas from now on will just be VIP betas. I'm just going on how things have been thus far. I could absolutely be wrong. To be honest, I'd rather the beta be closed; things seem to be a bit more focused.

Pretty sure it will be a normal VIP BETA.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Sounds like the possibility of Scourge AND Fury. Which is pretty sick.

A bit... lol. ;]
I can't remember a closed beta I wasn't a part of, after the initial walkthrough of the new content post Freedom I don't test anything, it's no different then the general section of the boards now.
That's understandable from a subscription retention pov, but that's where the advantages end in a testing environment where 'you pay you're in' is the lone requirement.
Que sera, sera.

I don't know, maybe it's cause I'm not a part of the really cool kids club or something but the closed betas I've been a part of haven't been that much better in terms of communication between us (testers) and the devs, etc...|

I think there was only like 1 (maybe 2) closed betas where there was actual communication from the devs on what to test, etc...
*shrugs*
Oh and since it's 11:28am EST now...I can't login to the beta server....can I complain now?

Apparently, the Battalion were originally attached to the Invention system, and were not only going to be too powerful to solo, but would also need the team figting them to have Inventions - so it looks like they've just attached them to the Incarnate system instead |

The Cool kids club is highly overrated as evidenced here in the forums. And yes you are more than welcomed to complain should you see fit.

For what it's worth an Issue 23 build (version number prefixed with a "2300") has been on the Beta server since last Friday and public access to that server has been shut off since then. I'd say that even if the Beta server is reopened today for VIP open beta that it's effectively been in a "closed beta" for at least a week now. |

Also, since it was revealed that there are certain players who are invited to preview the SSAs before they hit beta, and that a group of players were invited to pre-beta test the Incarnate system before it went to closed beta, it's probably a safe bet there's still a closed beta for every issue.

Edit: And thinking about it a bit more now. I'm disappointed that the Magisterium trial takes place under sunny conditions. Having it rain the whole time would be much more epic. Especially when it clears up after the nuke.
