Hi! Let's get to it.

Review of Fog of War:

M1: Fun, good intro to new mobs, battles are well orchestrated so you can see the midgets and helmet heads use their powers. I liked the terminal idea. As a solo stealth class (Ill/Kin) I breezed through this one and didn't mind at all.

M2: Maybe it was just because I was solo, but this one seemed a little bare bones. Could it use an ally/ambush/something? if memory allows? I like the boss.

M3: Another good one. Boss was well played and very funny. Magical traitors idea works well.

M4: Funny patrol text! Maybe a little too much of it. Was a teeny bit disappointed in repeat boss type...would rather have had one of the other types saved as a unique. Minor quibble though, still a fun level.

M5: The best one. Good design, good dialogue, good humor. Like the ally! Worth it just to see rascals beating on Cimeroran heads before blowing up.
Con: The huge ambush while fighting Dr. A is cheap. He's not that easy to begin with and I felt it was overkill.

Overall: Great idea, funny, well executed. Nice work. I laughed while earning my XP (and gold).

Please to be playing my arc 181351: Trolls and Tribulations. I spent a looong time on it and nobody has played it yet, d'oh. Thanks.

<ul type="square">[*]Arc Name: TROLLS AND TRIBULATIONS[*]Arc ID: 181351[*]Level Range: 1-50[*]Faction: Heroic[*]Enemies: Almost 100% custom. Not cheap or overpowered!
[*]Summary: The Trolls are back! Thanks to a mysterious ally, your favorite green-skinned thugs have returned for levels 1-54. What bizarre mutations will you encounter as you fight to prevent the Trolls from taking over Brickstown? "Me have body by"...what??
[*]Difficulty: Medium. Balanced for challenging but not cheap solo and group play. No AVs. Allies are available for EB encounters.[/list]
Please note this is my first AE story so I would really appreciate ratings/feedback. I spent 20+ hours on it so I believe it's pretty polished. Thanks!

Wow, Jay seems really cool. Kudos to Jay!

No new powersets? I thought we were supposed to see them in i9-i11 (pushed back to i10-i12 with Inventions getting its own issue). so the lack of them is dissappointing.

Hate to add a negative note but I feel the same. Power sets and EATs are better than all the new content in the world for me. Just personal preference.

New sets / EATs that related to the Issue (remember the arrival of the Kheldians?) makes perfect sense. Example: aforementioned Rikti villain EAT, or an Energy Rifle ranged blast set like the ones the Rikti and Lost use.

Moving some existing power sets into new ATs would be just as good, and a lot cheaper. I would list suggestions but it's been discussed to death already.

I still think this issue looks cool but you know, new character options would make it a 10/10 for me.

I'm hoping for a Rikti EAT that supports the humans. It could be for Heroes and Villains or possibly just Villains (like, Recluse &amp; Pals conquered a Rikti ship in the Isles and got a bunch of them to join Arachnos). Or, maybe just someone who uses Rikti technology.

Some of the stranded Earth Rikti (Restructurists and Traditionalists, is that right?) might not be happy about the old guard coming back.

But of course there will be no EATs in the near future.

Could this be the end of butt-naked Rikti minions??

I thought Tail-O's were a new type of enhancement.
