Do you incarnates disappear over time?

Logged to a veteran that I hadn't played in a while. The first page was full when I logged last time. Now empty. What happened?

First page of what? Server friends list?

[El D]

Maybe character select? There's been rare issues with logging in that's led to folks' character lists getting shuffled around/lost and appearing empty.

[Without_Pause]

To the question in the title, no.

You click on Powers, then Incarnate Abilities. The first page shows up that says stuff like: Hybrid, Lore, Destiny -- that is all empty

Is it possible that they are not equipped?  If so that initial page would appear blank until selecting one of the slots.  At that point the right hand column would populate with any that you had crafted for that slot.

 

Is it also possible that you're on a toon with a few vet levels and a bunch of un-spent Incarnate Salvage/Etc and iPowers weren't actually crafted on that alt?

 

But no.  Only Temp Powers decay over time, and only a subset of those at that.

 

And, Welcome Back.

I clicked all over that screen and nothing is coming back. Its like I just turned 50 (instead of a vet level 3). Do you think I should submit a ticket on it?

At vet level 3 I don't believe you would have had a lot of incarnate abilities to slot, or even most of the slots unlocked.

 

I have characters I haven't played in many months and I've never lost anything other than a temp power.  Check your character to see how many incarnate components, emps, astrals, shards, and threads you have. Check the front page of your incarnate powers screen and see how many of the slots are actually unlocked.

At Vet Level three I'd expect Alpha unlocked, maybe the next two?  Certainly they'd be well underway at that point.  Not sure I would expect much to have been crafted, certainly not a couple tiers deep into several of the slots.

 

If you've still got the Empy merits from attaining VL3, then likely iPowers were left un-crafted on that toon.

 

If nothing else a ticket never hurts.  Not sure what tools they'd have to look into the toon's history though.

Just casual observation, but I usually notice that Hybrid finally unlocks when I'm Incarnate level 9.

I doubt this is the case here, but since you can use a combination of influence and threads to buy incarnate XP, someone with a lot of inf and emps/transcendents to move around could buy their way to a fully open incarnate tree and still be vet level 3 (maybe less?). Absent something like that, I think you're right.

[Rokkeb]

At v3 all incarnate slots should be unlocked by then and probably enough threads to have alpha t3 and maybe one other t3 as well or getting close. 

 

EDIT: just ran a test on a fresh 50. by the end of vet lvl 3 i had 5/6 incarnates unlocked.

Nope.  I just checked a character who is vet level 5 and his Hybrid slot is only half-way to unlocked.

All unlocked by vet 3?  Nope.

I don't think I've unlocked all incarnate slots at such a low veteran level... I don't vary up my playstyles, so I can't attest that there may not be some combination of play that grants Incarnate XP so fast relative to regular XP.

Yeah thats why I said "or getting close" 5/6 unlocked at v3 and the final 6th being unlocked by v4 would fall under "or close" to me. And i just tested on my 50 stalker. he's 64% through hybrid and only 20% through vet lvl 4. will have hybrid unlocked way before vet lvl 5.

So, the question posed is "Do you incarnates disappear over time?". 

The answer is no. 

Some of us are no longer seen, and you might think we disappeared. But, no, we just haven't logged in. Some of us are hidden, and possibly playing on a different server, but I seriously doubt any of us have truly disappeared over time. 

But, given the premise of a lower population player base, I can see why one might ask the question.

Okay, Snarky, how did you get on Ukase's account?  😛

Well, you remember Snarky said he was going to stop posting, right? Someone had to pick up the slack!
