There are plenty of other features in Issue 13: Architect as
well, like the new powersets, including the much requested "Villainous Version of Empathy" called Pain Domination. We're also adding
some great new missions to Issue 12's Roman Zone "Cimerora," as well as a brand new reward system that will hopefully see the end of
"necessary" Task Force farming trying to get that one specific Recipe you have been dying to get. The Issue 13 Feature List explains more about
that. We'll be announcing more specifics of each of these features between now and the beta testing for Issue 13.

Next I want to talk about Day Jobs.

I don't have WORDS.

I should probably take this moment to talk about what the Mission Architect is not meant for. It is not meant for "easy
leveling" or "badging" or "farming".

In the end, we have a system that we believe is the best suited for what Mission Architect was made for, and is not abusable.

Sure. I believe you.

Finally, I want to tell you about two "Booster Packs" that will be available in a month or so. Many players have requested the
ability to buy the 30 day temporary jetpack that comes with the new City of Heroes Game Cards. Once the retailer exclusive period ends next month, we are
making the same jetpack available for purchase for $4.99 (which is the cost difference between the one month game time and the $20 Game Card price). We are
also excited to launch our Super Booster I: Cyborg Pack for $9.99. This pack has an awesome set of costume pieces, emotes, auras and a power. We'll be
sharing all of the details shortly.

Cue DOOM. I'll be buying the Super Booster, probably pass on the jetpack.

New Powersets

• Shields - Heft a Shield for Heroic of Villainous Ends! This new powerset brings a classic power to City of Heroes: Shields! Now, you
  can arm Tankers, Scrappers, Brutes and Stalkers with a powerful shield to protect themselves and their allies.
  
  
• Pain Domination - Villains can now bend the power of pain to serve their own ends! Those playing a Corruptor or Mastermind have access
  to this new powerset. The antithesis of the Hero healing powerset "Empathy," Pain Domination brings parity between Heroes and Villains with a
  distinctively evil flair.
  

New Cimerora Missions

New Hero and Villain story arcs expand upon the history and lore, and delve into the players and politics of Cimerora.

The Merit Rewards System

A new game system that allows players to earn tokens by completing Trials, Task Forces, Strike Forces, Raids, etc. The most challenging and time consuming
tasks grant the most reward tokens, which can be redeemed throughout Hero and Villain zones for recipes, enhancements, salvage, costume pieces, badges,
inspirations and other game items.

Other features

New Invention Origin Sets, new Costume Sets, a Patron Power Respec, Zone Refinements, and more!

looks like i13 is gonna blow you away...
