New Trial
I think the Dam/Faultline was mentioned


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm highly sceptical about this (although I hope I'm wrong). I haven't seen anything about the Faultline trial beyond rumour mongering, but I would expect a new Trial or TF in the new zone.

Has anyone seen any real evidence that the Faultline trial is on the way?

Staes say he wants to get this done, but there is a chance it won't make it.

CuppaJo, I believe, just recently confirmed the inclusion of the witches from the Halloween event in the zone. They were members of the Coven. So, you could add them to the villains list, although I guess it's possible they have been changed to be part of one of the other two.


[/ QUOTE ]

I think the Coven is going to be part of the Cabal.

With all this magic stuff flying around anyone else think we're going ot see some action from the "Hammer of the World"?

Red Caps are a kind of mythological being. Often grouped in the faerie or goblin category after you remove the ethnic origins.

In general they're vicious nasty little clawed beasties who kill humans.

Here's one example

Off the top of my head:

New Zone:
Croatoa, City, level 25 to 35

New Villian Groups:
Cabal and Red Caps

New Trial
I think the Dam/Faultline was mentioned

New Zone Events:
One is probably burning buildings in Steel Canyon, based on a "goof" for the first few days that Issue 4 was on Test

New Power Sets:
Trick Arrow [Defender]
Sonic Something [Defender]
Archery [Defender/Blaster]
Sonic Blast [Defender, Blaster]

New Gameplay Features:
Half XP Debt from defeats in Door missions
No Debt until level 10
Possable change to the Defficulty Slider [This is based on a little blurb in CGW]

[/ QUOTE ]

Also throw in-

Changes to Blasters, Tankers, Defenders, Controllers to make the game more challenging.

Maybe
Increased SO costs. Statesman has been saying the cost was going to go up to make them more difficult to purchase for a while - I5 is the logical time to do it.

New zone – Croatoa. Supposedly leaked photos indicate that it is a city zone with the third university (two are under construction on live right now). The level range is 25-35. According to a member of the forums who has supposedly seen it, the zone is HUGE. There is no definite information on this, so consider the above educated speculation. This zone will include new missions, contacts, TFs, etc. following the example set by Striga Isle.

There is a vicious rumor going around that this zone has been pulled from I5...anybody confirm or deny this?

Pulled?

No commented by a Redname on that, and they talked about it just last week.

What? Still no wings? ARGH!

We need to fight super villians that wear the tights and capes and such. Maybe a mission where we fight 6 super villains, one at a time, like the villain groups in comic books.

Like the archery!

Any word on when issue 5 is suppose to come out?

The zone is still in Issue 5 (it's the bulk of issue 5, as Striga was for issue 3). The University is still in Croatoa, but alas the Skills System tied to it is not (its currently undergoing a redesign). So to clear up: Skills pulled from Issue 5. Croatoa is not.

Is it at the end of the new spur to the greenline that goes off north?

Hopefully it will be Hollows Huge not PI/Stringa Huge. Don't need another huge zone with nothing in it but tiny islands and lots and lots of water. Saw all the water I ever wanted to in IP and Talos.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

Going by the tram map, it's inland, with a lake (the lake maybe 2-3 times the size of Everret Lake {sp?} in Perez, if it's to scale).

Re: Red Caps IIRC, In the Ars Magica RPG, Red Caps were the messengers that travelled between Covenants - some were Magi themselves, others were not. Not disputing the norse myth connection, but someplace the Devs may be coming from.

Well keep in mind that though there is a lot of water, I would suspect that when the underwater zone is created we may find baddies lurking in the waves of paragon city the likes of nothing we have seen yet.
