Well I hope there's SOME new content. I know we don't have all the info yet, but so far i24 is just power changes. I think power changes are great, but I'd like some new content to enjoy while using them.
Currently on Virtue:
Jinrazuo - Crab Spider
RWZ All-Pylon Solo Run
Still holding out hope for some new alphas - my Defense based characters are positively BLEEDING endurance as it stands.
Deamus the Fallen - 50 DM/EA Brute - Lib
Dragos Bahtiam - 50 Fire/Ice Blaster - Lib
/facepalm - Apply Directly to the Forehead!

They've said there'll be a ton of new content. I24 is apparently shaping up to be a HUGE issue, not just with pool revamps and customization and the ranged blast set changes. We'll find out more in the I24 preview, whenever they decide to kick it out (I'd guess.. before the end of August?)|

They've also said there's some zone revamps coming.
Totally forgot about the coffee talk today, dangit. Going to watch the recording now.
Basically, i24 is shaping up to be some of the biggest QOL changes in the game since i16.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Yeah seems that way, there's stuff they still haven't told us about. And all the legitimately new stuff too.
Seems like it's going to be a pretty great issue to look forward to.

There is only one word I need to convey my response to there being no new iTrials in issue 24, "Yes!!!!!".
There'd probably be some modifiers to that but apparently there still will be development time wast,err, spent on incarnates.
Well if its not an iTrial then it's probably solo/small team friendly (or at worst, 8 team TFs like Apex/Tin Mage)
And y'know, people HATE having more stuff to do with their 50's that doesn't require a league.

It boosts recharge, which means I actually consume MORE endurance on my Widow since Slash and Lunge are up more often, and the bonus to Stamina is at most, an extra 8% recovery.

A Widow probably has the pre-requisite Leadership powers already.
I really should do something about this signature.

On the original topic, maybe we are getting a Praetorian Hamidon encounter similar to the existing one - just turn up at the zone. But giving incarnate-level loot.

Possible, but it doesn't really fit with Praetorian Hamidon being the next big bad.

They said that there's taking a break from focusing on Praetoria, but that the Paretorian storyline is now tied into the Primal storylines in a pretty big way.
For example, if they were going to revamp Independence Port, it's quite possible there could be some storylines driven by the arrival or potential arrival of the Sydicate onto the Family's turf.

Finally. Honestly, it's about time we stop getting iTrials for awhile. I'm not saying stop focusing on Incarnate content, but there are so many other venues to be explored. Solo/small team content, TF/SFs, zone-wide raids like the Mothership or Primal Hamidon.
Also is gonna be great to see some new content for non-Incarnates, particularly in the 30-50 range. I'm really hoping they aren't gonna drop the ball with this.

Will be interesting to see what is up. Honestly I think people are going to be hoping for a wrap up with Hamidon but I doubt we'll be getting it. At least not I24.
Thinking on it, it kind of makes you wonder if this isn't the issue we'll see shards start to phase out.
Well as much as I have enjoyed the trials if no new powers are coming I can live without another for now... although I thought we were supposed to see Battalion emerge with this issue. I sort of assumed there'd be a trial based on that but maybe its a TF instead.
Glad to see they are planning to take care of some long overdue QOL issues.

No they actually didn't say 'I24'. You have to pay attention to what they say and more importantly what they -don't- say. Any time they don't give you a direct answer means that there is -something- up. It may not be a new zone explicitly but they did not answer that question with a direct 'no' they sidestepped an answer and just explained what they're doing. The two are not one and the same. |

You're really not very good at double speak GG.
So just finished with today's coffee talk. Lots of neat stuff on pool powers and customization as I'm sure will be covered in other threads.
Couple interesting tidbits from the Q&A section. As the title spoils, I24 will have no new iTrial. This'll be the first major issue release since Freedom I think, possibly older? (IDK, I joined at Freedom XD), that will not have an iTrial.
No new Incarnate Powers coming either, though they weren't 100% positive.
They DID say that something would be coming for Incarnates, so it could be another Zone, it could be another arc or two ala Emperor's Sword, could be a new Taskforce. Dunno! Time to speculate though!
