I'm really disapointed with the dark shield, it looks relly cool on the cossie creator but a bit meh in the flesh.
However the rest of the changes get a two thumbs up.
The new arcs are very fun and quite a challenge on a team. That AV you face . . . . . . . took my team AGES to finish last night but was fun 
Noticed that in that arc their agro range was stupidly high, is this a bug or as intended?
New aura combos, only a small feature but a MAJOR one for me 
They are drool worthy!!!
Dual builds iv just set up my mains pvp build and am now just saving up the inf needed to SO it out with a couple of IOs slashed in. So i cant really comment on that JUST yet until iv fully experienced it.
The shield graphics alone is enough to make me want to make one, only went to see what they look like and gotta admit, the tech + elemental shields are frickin awesome.
Merit system is a GOOD thing in my playstyle/book. Now theres an actual reason for me to hunt giant monsters and go through the story arcs again via flashback
PVP i havent been able to test out yet but will defo spend a night in a pvp zone this week once my 2nd build is up and running
Oh and regarding the new story arcs . . . . .. . i like the quality there Arcs are a bit short but the quality is good!

Ok, forgive me for missing something...
You get merits for taking down GMs? Story Arc GMs, or ANY GM? Is Lusca finally going to get hunted again?

I'll let you know what I think in about two weeks.
Initial impressions: some stupid bugs left in.
I have a screenshot of Ms Liberty and her honour guard of shield wielders. Seriously guys, you're worse than WoW players and Death Knights.

According to the merit guy in atlas and the patch notes yeah any GM drops merits. Though i think its only 1 per GM? Hardly going to be farmed but still a better reward than the old system

I wonder this though, how much GM's could you take down with a 5-man team in (lets say) 5-6 hours? Compared to any TF, it might even give more then the TF.

They were, this morning . Announcements forum and the website. Linked from the Launcher as well, now .
Not on the news feed, though? I was assuming my RSS reader would pop up saying that the main web page had a new article announcing the release, and the patch notes would be accompanying it. We're not all forum junkies :P (I'm not saying "I'm not one", but obviously, others aren't)

The good:
Shields. Canadian Maid has finally taken to the streets and is punching and kicking for justice, and generally looking superb.
Day Jobs. We like, especially where I've already got the Professor and Commuter badgies 
Merits. I very rarely have the time for a full TF or Trial, but I like doing Arcs, so something that gives me a shot at a decent recipe is good for me
The bad:
Patrol XP. Frankly, why give people another way to outlevel the content faster? It ain't about where you're goin' in this game, it's how you get there. Day Jobs are quite enough of a logout bonus to keep people coming back, so can it. NOW.
Bug hunt time again: getting those weird lag shakes again, though not nearly as badly as after I7 or I8. Haven't encountered the teaming bug either yet, but that will really be a pain in the proverbial if it's not fixed.
The total, utter, incomprehensible lack of a vehicle designer (with several options for fins) or a music-based powerset. Enough said.
The meh:
PvP rebalancing: I suck at PvP anyway, so now I can suck in a different and rebalanced way and blame it on the Devs
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
So far I'm liking i13 i even like the Patrol XP as it allows my more seldom played alts to get a nice we XP boost when they come on but i can see how some wouldn't like it so maybe there should be a on patrol button or something so you can toggle your self in / out of on patrol mode.
I had a quick play with it last night , did not get on for that long.
But so far there seems to be more annoying bugs with this issue then good things so far.
- the friends window wont stay closed unless you pin it
- The teaming bug/issue where cant select miss unless all team mates in same zone.
- The tailor still wants to change my look every time i visit and tries to charge me for changes it decides to make for me !
+ love the badge UI tho, its nice to get more info on the badges
+ shields look good, have not made a shield toon as of yet tho
+ bases gonna be cheaper to build and run, from my brief dabble with base editor last night.

But shields are shiny! *SHINY!*
In other news: having a wee bit of difficulty logging in today due to a checksum error but apart from that, the extra patrol xp has come in handy on a few toons; especially those nearing 50.
Costumes are all good , especially the save option. Although I must remember that if I want a re-rolled character to have the same build (scales etc) then I must only copy the costume that doesn't have things like capes or regular auras.
To explain further, i went to make a v2 of Ionos and copied his cape costume. Level 1s have no access to full capes so it didn't let me. D'oh.
I tried the new Cimerora arc out in Test and was surprised and amused. In a good way. Despite the inclusion of a certain villain group.
I'm looking forward to getting more badges and to have a play with a new RP SG who will be getting to lv10 and hitting the no XP button (shameless plug for The Mercy Rogues over )
Well, I read the release notes, and overall I'm really pleased with the changes / new content. There will always be a few gripes, but I'm happy.
My nitpicks, of course, are that a list of the exact new items added to the tailors would be nice, rather than just 'day job specific'. In past release notes, we've had a list.

Re: so what do you think to i13?

Not much. My scrapper was sent to a new contact in Steel but can't access the damn place because she hasn't finished the arc that grants access. Fine, only problem is she can't complete the arc because some of the salvage required to create that lost curing wand has vanished from her inventory. She also can't change the current mission because apparently being solo doesn't make you the leader of your none existent team. Frankly I'm fed up with it already.

You've been able to talk to him? I get no response at all. Do you actually need to have earned a merit before they'll even recognise your existence? *grumbles*

No, but if you're below about level 5 there's nothing you can buy and they may not talk to you.

Seems the game is responding differently to different toons (or accounts). I had no response whatsoever from a merit npc on a lvl 28 villian or a lvl 50 hero.
Has anyone else had problems placing the Pocket D beacon in their bases?

I love it - got a badge the moment I logged in, sold all my old base salvage for 60 million Inf, and found that I'm only 1.1 million Prestige away from buying the largest possible base plot - and I haven't even tried PvP or any of the new missions yet

I am sure you have all been busy playing the new issue last night and by the looks of it haven't even had time to post on the thread yet, anything you noticed, any glitches anything you hated? I personal tried shield/ma and its very fun! as well as having a full police uniform. I did notice on some of the shields the logo's don't show up fully. what did you guys think?
