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

For what it's worth, I would had liked a Hybrid that was full time but imposed a sacrifice.

I'm not even looking at the mechanics, just the general description of these (since I only unlock the slots I can solo in DA) but basically:

Using Assault or Control would lower your survivability.
Using Melee or Support would lower your damage output.

This gives a reason to stop using them, for one, keep balance a bit in check.

That was what I was wanting too, Starsman.

Well for one I would had gone for Resistable Resist debuff (it's a bit funny for me that people think they can overcome those.)

For damage... would had been interesting if there was some ant-enhancement that lowered the strenght of enhancements proportionally to enhancements you already have, plus the same for damage buffs (a damage debuff proportionate to all damage buffs you have.)

But I know what you mean. Saw it big time in the Bio thread and it still is not stopping.

Well I feel if they have to create some combat fluff power...it had better be something we cant already get and have some reason for it.

Like costumes, auras and other things can all be gotten in mutiple differing ways and serve no purpose for an incarnate power.....why would people waste time like that?

Now if it was something that maybe allowed the player to choose some NPC and get some special form they could transform into.....and level independent of their normal leveling...now that would be something.

Also if it was somepower that let you transport to some place totaly different...like maybe the same place the big portal in night ward doesnt send you yet or where the giant crystal in oroboros doesnt send you yet....and maybe can also send you to other places...not normaly accessible....then that would be worth something too.

Also if maybe it could summon some form of special combat pet that had its own level bar....that the player leveled through usage and the player had to take care of.....ie feed and heal and such....or else they would have to create another of the things for that slot...as the creatures death would result inthe incarnate enhancement being destroyed....
I think that would also be neat.

Right now....as many have pointed out the powers have mostly been enhancements with some copies of powers already in existence...which isnt too bad....

But i do understand wanting something you can show off....but if its something to show off it needs to be worthy of an incarnate.....and in my opinion it needs to be something that the player can use to show others....and also maybe can be enhanced......but cant be something stupid like a costume piece or something which does nothing...it needs to have a value and function to make other enviouse and deliberate in wanting to have the same thing or something else similar.

This would get those other players out there who are non-incarnates actualy maybe deciding to pay for subscriptions....but also give the same long time players that needed something to keep them busy and make them get irritated as they have to spend cash or what ever to keep that pet alive that looks so cool....or to increase that special shape shift form....so they can really go to town as a Rularuu or Banished Pantheon or knife of Vengence or something even more different.

Oh well....I play other games that kind of cash in on the things i suggested big time....they use cash shops and they literally make players play alot.....either through offering things inthe cash shops...or by the virtue some players are so cheap they will do anything to avoid that

Incarnate powers that grant the ability to craft a more effective version of IOs or another tradeable item, perhaps?

Everybody hates Hybrid!!!

Until the time comes when they recognize how OP it is when a League full of Hybridized players use all their T4 Hybrids at once.

Then it will be all "LFM, must be T4 Hybrid slotted!"

You know, like when they realized they can let 30 Foes stack up around Marauder because when everyone uses Judgement at once as an alpha strike, it wipes them all out.

Or, you know, when they say, "Save Lore Pets until X!"

The player base just hasn't learned how to use Hybrid yet. And when it does, the hatahs will slink away as if they never hated it.

Personally I've never seen a call for any specific power, rather level. Even then you normally only see it on the harder trials.

Honestly hybrid is probably the one incarnate power out of the bunch that I think would operate fine as an examplar tool, that is, if it worked below 45 unlike every other power.

I like it fine in theory.
Just don't love the bottleneck to get to it. If there were 3 or 4, or even 2 iTrials that could be run to unlock it, I'd be all over it.. With only one choice.. No thanks; I'll wait and see what other avenues I have later on..

I reject the feeling of getting railroaded.. It's not like I don't have tons of alts that I can get IOed, and incarnated up to Destiny/Lore. It's not like I have to obsess over Hybrid while there is only one path.

I'll just wait, and see what other avenues appear...

Otherwise, Hybrid seems fine to me... Not stupid OP, but not worthless by any stretch..

Ability to enter a special room just like Ouro, but for incarnates, and it is open to both sides instead of being alignment limited, with exits to all city zones in the game, instead of most zones from one side. Then when a hero or villain tries to use the wrong exit, they get the same error message as they do in PD or similar. Then we can give it a work bench for those who still use them at incarnate level, and maybe another bench like in Vanguard for exclusive things, or perhaps just for an alternate way access the Astral/Empyrean shop without having to leave PD and make a team wait/wait till team ends to do. After that we could give it a market guy, who I don't need due to remote access.

Access to an incarnate chat.

i hope omega removes ED.
