Stone Daemon

Wow, this took off a bit more than I was hoping for. Well, excellent! As to thoughts on it's design, I was thinking along the lines of Winterminals suggestions. And true, I don't think every piece should have eyes, but I don't think it would be a bad idea to have multiple versions of some pieces, so that the player could decide where they wanted their eye to be on the armor set.

Also, I like the idea of unlocking it via the CoP trial--would give an actual reason to run it for non-badgers, since the merit and temp power award is paltry. I hope someone from the art team stumbles on this thread, I've been at a loss to find the perfect costume for my new shield.

Ok, let me preface this by saying I don't want to argue about the whole annoying unlocking costume pieces via badges. Personally, I think it sucks. But for the sake of this thread, let's just work with what we have, shall we?

Anyhow, hunting down rularuu for the badge (or doing the task force, I guess) is something many heroes with a weapon grudgingly looks forward to when they get to a level high enough. Unlocking that awesome rularuu shield/weapon is a pain in the butt, but finally getting access to it is Fun Times™.

However, there is no incentive for heroes without a weapon (except for badge hunters, of course) to hunt down all those darn Overseer's, as they get nothing but the badge. So, why not add a Rularuu armor set that even non weapon heroes can unlock and use? Picture a leathery armor with a giant, moving eyeball in it. Awesome

Of course, I'd prefer to NOT have to unlock this costume item, but again, I'm working with the system we currently have. What do you guys think?

The Apex and Tin Mage TF's give the option to collect an astral merit as your end reward (once per day).

You can convert that into 4 threads.

This sounds fun, count Lady Penitent (another WS) in!

From what Prometheus seems to imply in-game, it's actually the reverse of what we used to believe about incarnates. The old "Gods" (such as Zeus) were actually mortals infused with the power of the well, and not what we consider gods at all.

At least, this was the conclusion I came to after chatting at him and making him angry.

Hi there

I'd just like to add, not only do trial haters never have to step foot in a trial, but that some of the endgame tf's (Apex and Tin Mage, specifically) now award an Astral merit once per day, so everything that those unlock (and breakdown into) are also available. It's still the slow route, but people will conveniently ignore those routes and demand to be satisfied with a fast/easy way to unlock incarnatedom.

Haha it looks like an Afro!
