Really creative power designing. It puts more Oooomph in the Incarnate sets. Homecoming, are you watching this?

Across all the different servers there is so much talent working on it all, to bad you all can't work together.

I like the idea of making it so you can use genesis while exemplaring. This makes the incarnate go from alright, to really good and unique!

With this trailer we show 'how' Genesis comes into the world though we only just begin to reveal 'why.' You won't have to wait long to find out though.

Interesting.

No way -- July?!!?!?!!?!

Question: if I were to say exemplar down to 36 to play with my friends on regular missions would I still be able to keep the incarnate powers as long as I have genesis slotted?

Genesis is a very unique incarnate power. The tree you choose boosts one of your other incarnate powers but Genesis also creates a miniature version of that incarnate power. That power can be used at any level.

@@RemTVyeah it’s not, Homecoming is what keeps this game alive, stop splitting the population numbers by continuing to play this inferior version. Get on homecoming before you morons kill the game again

Kind of interesting since genesis’ effect matches a suggestion I had had for Omega slot. Though the branch names of each one would be named for different deities, judgement-omega was Rama referencing the Hindu myth of Rama’s arrows basically being nukes and the Alpha-Omega branch being called Yahweh.

Not sure what an incarnate power is or how this really changes my character. Can we get more information on this?

The incarnate system opens up at level 50. Through missions and trials you will gain different types of incarnate experience, incarnate power crafting components, astral merits, and empyrean merits. Alpha opens first and lets you dip your toes into the leveling and crafting process. Currently there are 5 incarnate "trees" active though the game shows even more that never completed release due to game shutdown. Handful of decent videos here on KZread under "City of Heroes Incarnate" search.

From interwebs... Notes added Incarnate System Overview Incarnate abilities are the primary new feature of the Incarnate system. Incarnate abilities are new skills and powers that work with your character's existing power sets. The Incarnate system features at least 10 Incarnate slots that we know of. Each Incarnate slot unlocks new, customizable Incarnate abilities. Each Incarnate slot offers multiple trees or branches that you can select from, allowing for greater customization of existing powers and even letting your character gain never-before-seen powers. Every major content update will reveal new Incarnate abilities. Unlocking an Incarnate slot does not by itself grant new abilities. You must seek out new Incarnate components from high-level encounters. You craft the new Incarnate abilities from these new components. Crafting and selecting an Incarnate ability is not an irrevocable choice, however. Unlike Enhancements, crafted Incarnate abilities can be replaced or removed without destroying the ability. Heroes and Villains will soon find that new challenges will rise up to face them, challenges that only an Incarnate can triumph over! Known Incarnate System Slots Alpha: Provides universal enhancements for powers. Judgement: Grants new upgradeable area of effect (AOE) powers. Interface: Modify your existing powers to add additional damage or debuffs to those powers. Lore: Summon the essence of vanquished Praetorian foes to battle by your side. Destiny: Offers new group healing, buff, and resurrection abilities. Hybrid: Still to be unlocked. Note - Unlocked on rebirth Genesis: Still to be unlocked. Note - This videos focus. Upcoming in release. Mind: Still to be unlocked. Vitae: Still to be unlocked. Omega: Still to be unlocked.

As far as I know, this is the Genesis design intended from live. Was it really always meant to just be a boost to an Incarnate power...? I appreciate the hard work put in by the Rebirth team, they've done some really cool stuff, but holy moly is this uninspired game design from the original devs.

This is the Genesis design from live. It's also more than just a boost to an Incarnate power. Genesis creates an entirely new version of the Incarnate power that the tree you choose is boosting. This Genesis Incarnate power, (Verdict, Fate, Data, Socket), is a miniature version of the original Incarnate power. Unlike any other incarnate powers, this power can be used while exemplaring at any level.

Can't say I agree. We are able to boost most of our pre-Incarnate powers in many different ways. Getting to enhance incarnate abilities, while perhaps not entirely *original*, is still in keeping with the game and pretty cool to me.

@@cohrebirth Ty for the clarification. It sounds more involved and less lazy, but admittedly, I think I like this less lol. The game has way too much power creep as-is and there's no shot this thing isn't just super OP :( Happy for the folks who are hype about incarnate content though! It's been stale for a while... to say the least.
