Is there going to be any non-battle Incarnate powers?

Would be nice if we could get a quality of life power of some sort, instead of always stacking more of something because its better.

If you want pretty emotes and costume pieces, the Incarnate system actually covers that already through the Astral/Emp merit vendors- Auras, costume pieces, emotes, etc. The slots themselves are meant to enhance character performance. QOL stuff like mission teleporters, team transporters, etc. can be picked up through the Paragon Market, but I guess there could be a fair argument for making stuff like that purchasable through Emps/Astrals too- I would absolutely get behind that.

Do you mean like having a sense of omnipresence? Where we can be wherever we want. We've become incarnated, beaten most of the game, so why should beings as mighty as us have to walk?

Like a travel power of some sort to increase quality of life?

Perhaps the power to change our own destiny(setting difficulty ourselves like x4+8). This would be handy since in DA, we have to push it up or they are too weak, then certain people would need to lower it again to leave. Worst of all is when you go to Ouro and your lower level missions are stronger than your comfort zone due to not being +1 and there aren't even any Fateweavers in Ouro to fix that.

That is all I'll think of relating to quality of life. Now to escape before I get more ideas.

Nothanks we don't need a fail slot worse than hybrid. Like someone mentioned most of those stuff can be handled with emp/astral merit buy but no slot wasted on that kind of stuff please.

A travel power that did not go away when you EXd and could slot travel IOs could be cool. Since it stayed with you at all levels, you could respec out of the normal travel power. It would be non-battle (or you could make them immune to suppression and then they would be in-battle as well), but still be a power increase.

You could do some cool things with the tiered system as well. Each tier could add another slot, so eventually you could put up to 4 IOs into the power (or tier 2 and 3 could add two slots, and tier 4 one slot, to total 6). You could increase the amount of control and friction as you slide up the trees (imagine Fly with the control of Hover). You could add some short duration Fly speed after an Incarnate TP. You could add Jump Height to an incarnate SS or run speed to an Incarnate Super Jump. Obviously, speed could increase as you moved up the trees. You could add stealth and/or -threat to some of the trees. +perception could be a nice travel power add (moving so fast, you need to be more aware).

Omega Carp.

A costume swap power that changes you into a GIANT HOPPING FISH! Complete with fin slap emote.

DOO EET! DOO EET NAO!

I feel that having one or two non-combat powers in the Incarnate System would be great. Maybe Mind and Vitae?

This.

Ask yourself how broken you want the game to be. If the Incarnate slots add more ridiculous buffs to the game, why play anything but the maximum DPS powers?

Who needs a Defender when we can all use our Destinies?
Who needs a Tanker when we can all have max defense and resistance?

Obviously one of the slot should be an AoE mag 10 hold. Then we can do away with all of our Controllers and Dominators!

Yes, we need slots that offer non-combat advancement.

On the (semi) related subject of the astral/empyrean merit-bought auras, are there any videos out there that are just a log of all the really expensive auras? I have spare merits, and I'd rather LOOK cool than be cool ><

We don't need non-combat incarnate powers.

There is no sense in saying incarnate powers are OP. That is their entire point. At the Incarnate level you are a team unto yourself. The Incarnate powers are supposed to completely nullify the normal game. If you want to play without being over the top awesome, then turn them off.
