....left after "A Stitch in Time", I've perused some of the update information, but was wondering if you kind folks could give me some quick hits on updates? Are there new zones or redesigned zones I should be checking out? What else cool did I miss?

Help is appreciated

I'm not sure how recently but the Hollows has been softened a bit. The geography is still a pain but it has a hospital, shops, a trainer and more variety in enemy spawns now.

There's also an expansion box called Going Rogue coming down the line, that's finally including side-switching, new zones, graphical updates and various other things.

Thanks for the replies

Funny, ran my first missions with a team lastnight, no sidekicking happened, so that whole thing was a surprise and blew my mind

Yes, the new super-sidekicking feature is wonderful. It's invisible and easy to forget, but it makes life so much better.

Yup, that's new, and it does make things incredibly easy when setting up a team (though you do have to be careful that some level 10 isn't trying to jump on to your team in the 40s that is fighting AVs, heh), no matter what the content.

There are also new events, zombie apocalypse, the deadly apocalypse. Each can be spawned by player events at times other then halloween. So make sure you have the event channels enabled.

The 5th Column has also officially returned to the streets, so you can find them fighting the Council in places. Barracuda Strike Force and the Dr. Kahn Task Force address this change along with Reichsman himself as the central bad guy in both.

There is also a change coming this year to the Winter Event but I'm honestly unsure myself.
