I've long thought that these needed to be made a reality. In a team of 4-8, I still feel like a valuable member of the team, that I'm doing something useful. In a league sized team, I feel superfluous, un-needed, just Hero005435 punching things in faces. I'd love smaller sized Incarnate trials. |

But yes, back on topic, they should be different for both sides, not just a rehash of the same trial.

I'm pretty sure that DA and Belladonna's arc count as 4-8 person Incarnate content

They're 4-8 person content where you're better served soloing. And my newer incarnate Characters would rather unlock Destiny/Lore by using astrals to transfer threads from my other incarnate characters.

One solution to the "raids need co-op for numbers" problem would be cross server teaming.|

(See, heroes don't get anything at the end of the day either, excluding permanently dead heroes.)
If the Incarnate system was still using the Alpha system redside could have its own SFs that are appropriately red themed but that ship has sailed and was sunk by a U-boat in shark infested waters. *edit* Oh yes, forgot. Less world exploding "plots". More fool hardy hero or foolish villain could tackle solo content. |
The trials are already only available through the teleporter, leagues allow characters on different sides and in TF mode to join, we have had global chat for a very long time and all servers are hosted in the same region/datacenter. So the supporting infrastructure for cross server trials is mostly in place.
Of course the cross server tech is probably hard to implement in itself but it is worth trying for, I think.
I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.
Cross-server teaming should really be standard in every MMO that doesn't use a single server environment.

Or it could be saying that Apex and Tin Mage are TASK FORCES, not trials.

Uh... yes? If a Trial is geared for a team of 8 at most, it's a Task Force or a ''Trial'' like event trials or DFB/DiB.
