Eh, from what I read, more are coming in subsequent waves. In other words, they could do it all later, or get some out now.
And combat jumping!
:0
Don't get me wrong, I love being able to turn down/off so many of the auras. Just hoping they keep it coming.

^Professional Katana/regen build thread
I was originally excited about what I hoped would be a mass exodus from AE.
I went with a band of coalition and SG-mates to PI. No lie, there's terrible problems with the rewards in developer content too.
First the xp/prestige/influence you get has been nerfed severely. Likewise, when you add people on your team, expect significant drops in influence. I remember adding one person on a team and lost a thousand per lt. and two thousand per boss. I went outside and killed the same boss solo on the dang street at a lower level and received considerably more influence. Pretty much if you still plan to make money, you need to be solo and therefore this issue goes completely against what it intended to do which was encourage people to team more.
Enemies also seemed to have more range too and were generally harder. So more work for less pay basically. Likewise, they were easier to aggro. I'm used to running a fire storm controller so I know how easy it can be to aggro, but I was aggro distant mobs today with my scrapper of all things.
They really made some changes not just in AE but in the developer content as well. I've heard numerous people threaten to quit for various reasons that have never made that claim before.
The developes should really examine their priorities and make sure there are no extreme unintended consequences for their actions.

You always get more xp/inf solo vs teamed fighting the same mobs. I do not know how the changes in AE are going, but they'll be adjusted shortly; but regular content has always followed this trend. The point of teaming is to get more mobs/bigger fights/more help and the rewards are split per the team. Always pay attention to what missions you are doing and the owner's mission difficulty as it will effect how you perform.
Ran a lowbie team last night and had zero issues with xp/inf that I could tell. I left the diff at minimum and I think it was a bit too easy for the team. Didn't notice any issue with mob difficulty that wasn't normal.
On Test, there was a few instances of range-aggro when solo doing radio missions, but I did have the misison upped to a 6 man team. A couple of others have noticed the same but the details to what/how they were running weren't given that I ever saw.
I've already forgotten about most of you

Oh so true!!! That does drive me bonkers.
I do really like playing with the colors though. I didn't bother, and never do, with the Test Server so this is my first try with them... and that was with the Isolator toon. It was fun.
Purple electricity blasts FTW!
Not sure I care too much about losing a bit of influence or xp if that was tweaked. We already level so fast as it is and with selling recipes/salvage in addition to earning influence by misisons/mobs, earning influence is not all that hard. Course, I am also a glass half full gal anyways... messing with the colors will amuse me for a long time.
I logged into i16 live... and within 10 minutes I filed two /bug reports. As the night progressed I found more 
. At least they aren't game breaking just annoying.

In lighter news, I've already created a rainbow costume for my blaster, with multi-colored powers to go with it. It's kinda cool looking...
Going through my characters as I have the time, finally started looking at my storm/elec defender. Sweet mother of God, I think stormies will win the award for Most God Awful Possible Looking Color customizations.

Yeah, said that last night. Couldn't get a "dark" enough looking hurricane going for my ice/storm Corr; I tweaked it enough to get a gloomy looking feel to it, but it's not what I wanted to have some real fun with it.|

I could go all light colors, but that just doesn't work for me. Grav/storm might have some better synergy, but I'll have to wait and see.
Made 10+ bars on my 32 Corr with a TF capped at 25. I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT I16 AT ALL

You want really horrid?
Choose bright yellow/bright yellow for all storm powers.

I think the higher priority should be a No FX option for Energy Aura. To this day I need to turn my particles down to zero on any Energy Aura character I have. That's the only power set in the game that causes my computer to bog down. The No FX option for Integration was necessary and I'm happy it's there.|

A few things:
1) I wish they would show you the base colors of the power on the "Original" screen. I would have loved to get my blaster's Energy Melee attacks to match the Energy Blast powers. Instead I had to guess.
2) They still haven't come close to fixing the myriad of bugs that inhabit the Tailoring options. Going to the tailor causes a variety of my characters to "change" costume, meaning you have to adjust everything back to its original state. This is a pain when the face goes out of whack.
3) I loves the new Super Strength animation for Foot Stomp. The Ground Punch is totally awesome.
4) Likewise, the new metallic spines are insanely cool. I don't understand why everybody wouldn't switch to these so you won't look like you have bananas growing out of your body.
5) Ran through my "Husk" story arc last night to see if anything funky happened to it from the XP changes. I did end up toning a few of the bosses down a bit to make it a little more solo-friendly but still pose a challenge.
6) I missed the memo where they adjusted every character's difficulty down to "wuss." It took some messing around with the new settings to get things where I wanted them.
7) Now that controllers have access to a cold/ice secondary, I have to think if I want to reroll my controller.
8) You can't colorize ice to yellow. The immature kid in me died a bit.

I just found that one too.

which stands for Same $4!+ Different Day.
I've been reading doom threads since i8 they probably were around circa i4, GDN, ED...etc. etc. etc.

I seem to remember BABs responding to this saying it wasn't possible because the original ones used unique colors / fx scripts / etc that weren't identical to those available to us in Power Customization. I have no link for that paraphrasing, though.

People threatened to quit when a tanker's max resistance was dropped from 100% (yes, it was possible to make a tanker that could never be injured except by Psychic damage) to 90%.
There was gnashing of teeth and baying at the moon when they fixed a bug to Smoke Grenade that caused MOBs to have a 0% chance to hit.
People screamed bloody murder when Burn was nerfed so it could no longer liquefy huge numbers of MOBs in one usage.
I won't even go in to all the various Regen nerfs.
It wouldn't be a new issue without a good thread full of doom.

You think. There might be a bug(i didnt say is a bug), and freakshow were brought below normal range Read the patch notes to see more.
Lots of 50's yada yada. still finding fun things to do.

Also, I think I know. I know. I was running missions last night. Non-freakshow. AE missions. And regular missions. Freakshow XP was changed. AE XP was changed. Regular missions were no different than what they were a week ago.
When I read comments like this:

I'll say it again...in the regular missions I ran last night that were NOT Freakshow missions, there was no change to the XP that I received in those missions. You might wonder how I know what the numbers were and are. When you run on a level 50 for as much as I have, the numbers get burned into your brain.

Previously, I would always match up my powersets so they'd look good together. Fire/fire balster, en/en blaster, ice/ice blaster, elec/elec blaster, etc etc. I just couldn't stand powers that didn't look like they belonged together. I even deleted a level 20 or so fire/rad controller partially because of this once.
Now, with color customizations? My God is the anal retentive freak in my loving this. My new fire/rad controller for Isolators? The fire and rad powers now mesh together beautifully and look like they BELONG together.
Oh, and storm? Storm wins the award for The Powerset that Should be Banned From Customizing It's Colors. Mother of God can you make some horrible looking storm effects that will cover the entire room in yellow.
