Quote:But don't forget that we're getting it by the back door, to avoid the Well having any control over us - the loyalists are getting it directly from the champion of the Well who's been given enough power to conquer the multiverse.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Honestly, we've fought Antimatter/Neuron/Battle Maiden/etc. all solo before. We've beaten them before. Repeatedly, in some cases. Sure, they're getting jacked up on Incarnate Juice... but *so are we.*
In fact, we're getting it directly, not secondhand from Tyrant. -
Quote:I think that the ".5" Issues were mostly there to help build up the selection of Trials while the Incarnate system was new and needed more than a couple of Trials.Originally Posted by Premonitions
Whatever happened to the whole "Issue X is the main game Issue x.5 is incarnate stuff" thing? Did they just stop doing it that way without any announcement? I thought it was a pretty good idea to leave incarnate progression in it's own release schedule with the "normal" game having the big issues.

Quote:Bruce Harlick left before GR even went into beta.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
From what I understand, Bruce Harlick wrote most of First Ward (aka Ambush City) and had high input in GR zones (Ambush Central).
John "Protean" Hegner goes by the nickname of "Johnny Ambush" - he's the one to "blame" for the amount of ambushes in GR

Would you go forward with a LRSF if you randomly got a whole team full of non-incarnate squishies?

On topic, PvP. But lol, they won't fix that.

Quote:Well, it's been used the way it was intended quite a lot with the summer event, and also with the Halloween event last year, which kinda suggests that it's ideal for small team content rather than multi-team Incarnate Trials.Originally Posted by ChaosExMachina
The terrible queue system of redundancy that has no purpose because almost nobody uses it except with a premade team anyway.
Show number of people who are queued, fix the restriction requiring a single zone to enter, make it notify the invited player that they are receiving an invite in the queue instead of no notification beyond an error message to the sender, and make joining the events that are currently active actually work. In addition add a search interface for teams instead of players and a way to enter a name, note, and category [just how the player search interface and note work] if you lead the team.
Also add paragon teleporters to villain bases plus a midnighter club teleporter.
I also think that because we went so long without it, the idea of pre-formed teams is now too deep in the culture of the game to get enough people to use it as a random team creator. -
Our hair still doesn't move.

I like the writing and the stories.

It could work as a secondary for Blasters

Quote:Or the Battalion mightn't have devoured enough Wells at that stage to become the Incarnate race that we're now facing, or they could have only sent a small-ish invasion for to the Rikti dimension if they were splitting up to try and locate the Primal dimension.Originally Posted by Zemblanity
The battallion were held off by the Rikti in the past, and the Rikti aren't incarnate. If they were all lvl 54+ super-incarnates, wouldn't the Rikti have lost the war?

Yup.
Ties in with my theory that the "angels" that appear occasionally in Night Ward are Battalion.

Quote:They said they were taking a break from Praetoria in I24, but not from content featuring something Praetorian in it - that means no new Praetorian zone.Originally Posted by Agent White
Actually they didn't explicitly say -no- to the question about the Praetorian zone, merely sidestepped it.

Quote:From what they said on the chat, there'll be content with some connection to Praetoria in I24, but no new Praetorian zone.Originally Posted by PRAF68_EU
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.
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. -
An Incarnate arc or 2 for AIXP could be possible.

Surprising news

The primal dimension is the "true" one that everything else reflects from.

Quote:Well, there's also the theory that the Primal dimension is in fact the "real" dimension, and that every other dimension is just a version or reflection of it.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
That's not an explanation, that's a statement. But exploring that statement, why each species? Why not all the redheads get one Well and all the Blondes get another one? Why don't the mutant super humans get their own?
And if that's the case, how is it possible that the Battalion can wipe out and absorb the Wells of other species, when that Well and its denizens exist across an infinite amount of dimensions? How do you attack something that exists simultaneously in lots of different dimensions from just one dimension? Why are they coming here to attack our Well, when they could do that from almost anywhere the Well has connections? If its us that's important, why? There are an infinite number of other humans connected to the Well in other dimensions. Killing us would be meaningless.
If the Wells exist in all other dimensions with humans, it stands to reason creating a single Champion to defend itself against the Battalion is ludicrous: it would need to create Champions in every dimension it existed in that the Battalion could attack.
And if the Wells do exist across all dimensions with the same species, then Venture's craptastic world just got craptasticer. Because now tampering with or destroying a Well in any dimension permanently stunts that species in an infinite number of other dimensions, and they'll never even know how it happened. Our Well could be destroyed at any time by a Darrin Wade that happens to live in a dimension where he's successful.
And in an infinite number of timelines, someone like Darrin Wade will *have* to be successful eventually.
That would explain why the human Well isn't destoryed, even when humamity has been reduced or wiped out on other Earths.
For example, on Rikti Earth, humanity has been transformed into something no longer human, Axis Earth has suffered world wide genocide after the Nazi's won the war, Praetorian Earth has been reduced to a few human cities in a wilderness of monsters, only robots are left on Clockwork Earth after the Clockwork King took it over, the Freakshow rule the ruins of yet another Earth, while we've even visited an Earth where our double wiped out humanity - but because Primal Earth - the "real" Earth - still exists, the human Well also still exists.
It's quite possibly been weakened by the loss of humans on those other Earths, but as long as Primal Earth remains, the Well will still be there - which would also be why whatever kind of entity Battalion is would be targeting us rather than another dimension. -
Quote:I think each species just has one Well, no matter how many dimensions they're found in.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
1. There seems to be no logic to Praetorian Earth and Primal Earth sharing the same Well, when its stated that other Wells exist for other beings. Different Wells for different planets in the same dimension but the same Well for two different worlds in two different dimensions is an unexplained oddity.
So the human Well is found in any dimension where humans exist, just like the Kheldian Well is found in any dimension where the Kheldians exist - so the Primal dimension can have a human and a Kheldian Well because both species exist there, but there wouldn't be a Kheldian Well in the Praetorian dimension if Kheldians didn't exist there. -

I must admit, I am saddened the new SSA chapter isn't out because - OHMYGOD! I LIKE THIE NEW SSA AND AM EXCITED FOR WHEN I'LL FINALLY SEE IT!
Oh, well, until then I'll beat things up on my Street Justice scrapper and when the weekend rolls in play GW2.

Quote:If you have your Alpha slot open, even if you avoid other Incarnate content, it's still quite hard to avoid content that gives you Shards.Originally Posted by BViking
Really? Last I checked there was still more non-Incarnate content for 50s than iStuff. Even ignoring Premium/Free accounts who cannot access them at all, that content is not mandatory now, and I'd hope it does not become so in the future. That would be bad decision making of a scale that makes blueside "Who Will Die" Batman-level brilliance in comparison
