Looking for details on the ancillary/epic pool additions

OK, I've just read the patch notes, searched the forums several times and wandered through likely forums looking visually for info about the ancillary/epic pool additions (the ones that got a 5th choice added).

Did I see a thread detailing these changes, or am I imagining that? Who got what?

Thanks!

I don't mean to be dense, but I don't actually see details about...or even plain lists of...these powers anywhere in that announcement.

I also ran text searches on that announcement for "ancillary" (no hits), "epic" (two hits on Mace Mastery topic), and "perfection" (Physical Perfection was one of the few new Ancillary powers I could remember the name of -- no hits).

Now, the Avatea post Aett_Thorn linked to does appear to have lists of these powers. That's great!

I can't understand why they aren't in the "Combined Release Notes for Issue 16," unless I (and my search bar) have some kind of a blind spot or something.

Thank you both for the help!

That's because they're not in there. Weird things get omitted in different places. Different things get omitted or glossed over in different announcements. Paragon's patch notes are infamously incomplete, sometimes flat-out wrong.

My bad. They had an announcement and a patch notes one right after the other. I put the patch notes that didn't have it. The announcement did: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...34&postcount=1. Sorry about that!

Someone gave me negative reputation for this?

When the answer turned out to be in the Open Beta forum? Specifically, the forum for imaginary "what ifs" that may or may not ever come to pass? The forum that, even if I looked there and read the info, I still couldn't be sure it had made it into the live build anyway, until I saw it in an official I-16 release note -- where it turns out not to be posted?

And after I thanked the people who helped me?

Sheesh.

Well, it wasn't me who gave you negative rep, but I found that thread I gave you within 30 seconds of reading your post. It wasn't that hard to find, and considering that the issue just came out yesterday, it was in a pretty logical place to look.
