Outstanding guide. 4yrs old and still paying dividends. I’m an old man, I payed Live when it was live. Don’t remember any of this. Completely lost. Your guide sorted me out. I made my first tier 1 Alpha today. Thank you. You’re going goodness.
Agree, I remember after watching the vid that I had started down this path, but had forgotten almost all of this, but this was like watching a refresher course, and there was several, "oh yeah, okay, I remember that". But, honestly I'd just be throwing spaghetti at the fridge w/some of that and wasting resources I'd be miffed I'd lost after I figured this out again
I really appreciate how friendly and helpful you are. City of Heroes and any other game needs more players like you. You're guides help me a lot with my characters!
This is a wonderful Incarnate Guide. I can't believe I didn't already find this. You might try re-posting or boosting or whatever it is called so this video gets out there more as now the game is super busy with all the new players now that Homecoming has the license to do so. Thanks and have fun.
If you do not have access to an Oroboros portal, and nobody's on, you can use a base with a full set of telepads. If you don't have one yourself, you can go onto the forums and look up the base directory. This will provide you with a list of codes for accessing someone's base. If you're a hero, use the telepad to Echo of Galaxy City, run to the Train Station, and take it back to Oro. You can then get the exploration badge at the top of the Oro building to earn the portal for yourself. If you're a villain, it's a LITTLE more difficult. Again, use a base, go to Echo of Dark Astoria. Get to the exit. If you can fly it's safest, but it IS possible to do a death run, even on a lowbie. At the exit there's an O portal. Take it to Oro. Again, grab the exploration badge, etc.
Really makes me miss the game. Between this and going after certain enhancement sets, there was so much flexibility in fleshing out your character or making them a well rounded powerhouse that could fill multiple roles. Back in the day I had looseleaf binders full of plans for all this stuff, plus getting all the bonuses from badges and things, you could make some really awesome power sets. Wish I could get back into it now, but simply don't have a lot of time and always worried I'll fall in love again and be hugely letdown when they shut it off again.
theres always going to be private servers now that the code is out there, sure youre main server /may/ eventually shut down, but you can always find one
@teknovkng23 in case you hadn't heard, homecoming was given a license by ncsoft so it's legit. Come play, it's super populated right now. Some evenings there's even a queue on the most populated server lol
this system is depressing to me so far when playing. I really wish they'd modernize this game like SWTOR got modernized. It's not fun farming, most people duo these days too. I can solo some trials to get these things (it's an annoying and stupid struggle) but I don't group or play with strangers. It's hard for homecoming devs to understand this. I also play at 2-5 am, the servers are dead I play on and I'm not moving and losing my names but I have 1 friend on my server.
Great video. You are really getting better and even more informative. I’m working on purchasing a new gaming PC to get back into COV (always a villain). Really miss the game. Keep up the positive content. Respect ✊🏿
Is there are good Villain side mission to run solo to get that loot table/ thread drops fast`? or is that Particular mission avaible on both sides? i am working my way to 50 but i am not there yet, just wanted to know in advance.
“It’s been about a week later and we got Incarnate Threads...Nah I’m just kidding” I lol’d so hard, as someone who just got his first 50 you scared the hell outta me.
Great video PG. I'm generally familiar with incarnate powers but am by no means an incarnate expert and I saw a few things in there that were new to me. Random question: What is the 'Let It Snow' temp power visible at the top at 14:26? I checked the wiki and the forums but didn't see a mention of it.
Thanks for the video! I do have one question, people keep saying “you need tier three in Alpha, Destiny & Lore”. I have that, but I’m not +3? Is it necessary to have climbed to level 3 TWICE in each of those three abilities? Because apparently having achieved a single level three in each of those abilities isn’t doing it….
Great video!I use it to farm.Accedentally I made 2 in the alpha spot, can I put it say in the judgement slot? I would be really gratefull for your help thank you!
Hello good sir! I just got my first 50 ever... the feeling is better then I thought... so to my point about threads. you needed more and had that amazing joke (it's been a week) I almost lost my mind haha you said 20 min came back and had 122... what are you doing to get that many that fast?
Can anyone confirm if Coyote/Kiyotee character is still part of the game? That was my brother character. He was part of the tutorial for the original game in 2004 and outbreak from what I'm told.
25 mill influence to craft 1 item? yup, this game just continues to turn me off... we are talking hours, upon hours of gameplay... not impressed at all with any of this...
Hours upon hours? My brother in christ, that is not accurate at all. At 50 you make influence like candy. Besides, even if 25 mil were a lot, what's wrong with a goal?

Nice. I have a few level 50s and have never attempted the Incarnate system before. Gonna try this out! Thanks for the help!
This was a nice refresher now that I'm doing my mains second set of Incarnates in addition to the full set of T4s I already finished
Thanks, I needed a good refresher on this. Thank you! :)
This was a well done guide. After watching this, it completely makes sense. Now I can slot my 50's easily
This was actually really helpful! I never got into the incarnate stuff during live so when I finally got to 50 on homecoming I wanted to get into it.
What archetype and power sets??

6:14 lmao you got me with this one.
A much needed video thanks Positive Gamer you are awesome :)
Loved this video! It helped a TON! Thank you!

Big help...thanks for making this video!
Explained extremely well! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks man. I had no clue what to do.
Great video, bud! Thank you for such great info!
Super helpful video, thanks for the breakdown
Great video. You are really getting better and even more informative. I’m working on purchasing a new gaming PC to get back into COV (always a villain). Really miss the game. Keep up the positive content. Respect ✊🏿
Hopefully we can team up some day!
Great guide! Thank you so much!
Great and informative video! Thanks!
Very helpful, thank you!!
You also earn threads and merits by actually leveling after 50
thanks for the help!
Is there are good Villain side mission to run solo to get that loot table/ thread drops fast`? or is that Particular mission avaible on both sides?
i am working my way to 50 but i am not there yet, just wanted to know in advance.
Very Helpful Thank You!!
excellent!! thanks a million!
thanks for the video :) forgot how this all worked :p
Yer a prince, Posi. Keep up the streams!!!
“It’s been about a week later and we got Incarnate Threads...Nah I’m just kidding” I lol’d so hard, as someone who just got his first 50 you scared the hell outta me.
What archetype and power sets for your first 50??
@@ThePositiveGamer Super Strength/WP Brute. Wanted something I could team with but also solo easily. Having a blast with it.

Random question: What is the 'Let It Snow' temp power visible at the top at 14:26? I checked the wiki and the forums but didn't see a mention of it.
Let it snow is what the server uses to activate the snow for the winter event. So every map server you enter will be snowing.
That mission arc that "takes 15-20 minutes" is utterly demolishing me. I think I need to make my build better before trying it.
Thanks for the video! I do have one question, people keep saying “you need tier three in Alpha, Destiny & Lore”. I have that, but I’m not +3? Is it necessary to have climbed to level 3 TWICE in each of those three abilities?

Thanks PG 👍
:) thank you
Which trees do you think would go well with a Demon Mastermind with Pain Domination?
I've seen videos where people have more than 6 incarnate slots ?do you know how to get more?
I havnt watched vids lately but do you still play coh? If so what server?
Can anyone confirm if Coyote/Kiyotee character is still part of the game? That was my brother character. He was part of the tutorial for the original game in 2004 and outbreak from what I'm told.
Is there a way to change your incarnate after you have placed one in? Kind of like respecing your build?
does the new incarnate power in the tray have slots?
Dinnae Wear Pants... seems a wee bit familiar
How did you get that many threads that quickly? I usually average 30 or 40 at best during an evening of regular raido mission team play.
Going solo you get all the drops.
How'd you get the 4th power slot?
That discord link has expired.
And to think we only had HALF of it...
Can that arch be ran solo or would one need a team?
You can run it solo. I know several people that run it every day to rack up on components.
what site do i download the game? i play this game way back 2008...
Just look up City of Heroes Homecoming
25 mill influence to craft 1 item? yup, this game just continues to turn me off... we are talking hours, upon hours of gameplay... not impressed at all with any of this...
Hours upon hours? My brother in christ, that is not accurate at all. At 50 you make influence like candy. Besides, even if 25 mil were a lot, what's wrong with a goal?
