Issue 19: Strike Pack now live

Strike Pack, an update to Issue 19, is now live. The Strike Pack introduces the Weekly Strike Target; Rare and Very Rare tiers of the Incarnate Alpha Slot; new badges and Level Shift.

• Weekly Strike Target. Each week one Task Force and one Strike Force (or one Co-Op Task Force) will provide double merits and additional XP; as well as "Notice of the Well" reward required to craft the upper tiers of the Alpha Slot.
• New Alpha Slot Tiers. Access to the Rare and Very Rare Alpha Slot tiers, using the Notice of the Well component obtained from the Weekly Strike Target.
• Level Shift. When you slot a Rare or Very rare Alpha Slot power, a level shift is applied to your character: a level 50 character will find that many of their abilities are enhanced as if they were a L51 character.
• New Badges. Three new hero badges and three new villain badges that reward playing the Weekly Strike target.
