Actually, would be nice to introduce a jinx or two with the release of Issue 13 so that players could experience a bit of bad luck. Like tripping, slipping, or get a door slammed in the face, stuff like that.
After all, we are talking about Issue 13 here ...

yep that'd be funny, could extend to rewards too, like always getting trap of the hunter: chance to sell for 5 gold recipes after an arduous tf... hold on a minute! 
[/ QUOTE ]
Well they could add a bit of a mini story arc to deal with the bad luck you've been collecting since release of Issue 13 and unlock a contact with another story arc to increase your luck temporarily (oh and of course luck insp will drop more often).

So is pain a new set or a modified empathy?
[/ QUOTE ]
For all the build-up this set has had, I'm kinda hoping for a new set, new animations, new graphical FX/SFX etc.
If it turns out to be a Red-side Empathy Redux I'm going to feel disappointed - heres hoping!
Nice to see some info finally. See you there...

I think it'd need some more aggressive animations than Empathy seems to have.

I imagine harsh animations, like some of Kinetics,
and scratchy, red graphics. Almost like electricity, but more rawr.
With it being called Pain Domination I can't see it having the same animations as empathy... at least I hope it wouldn't. Empathy's too touchy feely - we need angry animations.
Yeh true. Oh well.
Still I am really excited by shields. Are they still going to be a pool set?

Pretty much my view as well -- although I get the feeling this is meant more as a sneak view than an overview, and they might have saved something big to be announced later.
At the moment, the list presented seems to involve a lot of work for Jay and the programmers, and not all that much for War Witch and other "content writers", and I can't see them having been allowed to sit twiddling their thumbs since I12.

Sadly what hasn't been mentioned is that due to cutbacks War Witch and co are all being laid off - hence the 'Design it Yourself' missions

He probably would have, if he hadn't been a Nemesis automaton.
It all sounds pretty good - I'm a bit disappointed there isn't an announcement of a new zone (yet) and that they're holding back announcing which powersets will be proliferated, but I'm sure that will come in time (perhaps instead of a "new" zone we'll get one or more full zone revamps instead like with I8's Faultline - oh please let it be Boomtown's turn!). It will also be interesting to hear in detail about the base editor improvements too - I'm shocked those weren't discussed in detail in this announcement considering Issue 13's name.
So this issue will certainly be massive from a new systems standpoint (I honestly didn't expect we'd get the base revamps in the same issue as the mission creator), even if it turns out to be not so massive in terms of official content and moving the story forward - though I am glad to hear Cimerora is getting proper mission arcs. Regardless of the new systems, the new/official mission content and the new/proliferated powersets will be the main highlights of the issue for me, as they always are.
I'm a bit worried about the booster packs though, even though I will probably buy the cyborg pack (as I've always wanted more robotic pieces - but there better be loads of costume pieces in the booster to make it worth the price). Will the bought jetpack still only last 30 days before needing to be purchased again? Will it only be for one character or any/all on the account? If it's a "permanent temp power" (like the GvE Jump Pack) and as fast as the Raptor Pack then I foresee a lot of builds skipping travel powers in future.

Issue 14 will include buidling packs for launch pads and zone repair, there will also be a purchasable Airfix kit for moonbase...

To hell with Boomtown (literally -- that would make for a fun zone), I want to see some more life in Dark Astoria. ... Well, not more life as such, I suppose, more ... ah, you know what I mean.

I think they'll have been working on the new Cimerora arcs - there's no word on how many of them there are, or how high they are - it could be as many as Faultline got, which would have been plenty of work for them.

I don't know about 'I'll get my coat'...
I think I need to 'Fetch my glasses' because I read that as 'Spank Otter'..... which sounds equally filthy if you ask me.

I didn't specify if the bikes were in the cloakroom or not. Maybe they are, it's probably an additional $5 to get them.
