Circus Mastermind set. Weapon themed Brute set.<br \/>\nThe new AT will be the Incarnate. At the moment only two of this AT exist, Lord Recluse and Statesman. It has been previously stated that the Incarnate&#8217;s will be themed around &#8216;combos&#8217; however it is unclear what this cryptic clue refers to specifically. It is expected that existing characters are transformed into Incarnates much like Recluse is a Mastermind Incarnate and Statesman is a Tanker Incarnate.<br \/>\nFrom the recent poll the devs took the zones players requested the most were the Rikti Homeworld, Underwater zone and Arctic zone. One of these will most likey be the new zone added. My bet is on the Rikti Homeworld considering Positron&#8217;s interest in advancing the storyline.<br \/>\nThe new system is an updated and revised version of what was going to be added to CoH at its launch. It used to be called The Fame system and was essentially a leaderboard for players where their success and failure as a hero effected their rankings. Top runners on the rankings will find statues raised within the city in their honor, have their character appear on billboards as they get approached to promote retail goods and you find villain groups targetting you for extermination. Rank also unlocks special content, rewards and various other perks. Time spent offline causes your fame rating to slowly degrade which means in order to stay at number 1 you have to play regularly although it may not be purely based upon how much time you spend online completing missions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To which <a href=\"http:\/\/boards.cityofheroes.com\/showflat.php?Cat=&#038;Board=archetypes&#038;Number=5795210&#038;bodyprev=#Post5795210\" target=\"_blank\">Positron replies<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>The new powersets will include Shields which will be both an offensive set and a seperate defensive set for the Melee ATs, A tech theme defence set for Melee ATs, street fighting offensive set for scrappers.
