A new enhancement screen would be stellar. The way the current one stretches is gross-town.

It's pretty well known that the devs have told us they're giving us the map improvements such as the one that will display remaining enemies when a certain portion of those remaining on the map are gone.

PP it does my heart good to see you post a somewhat happy post. I am also excited to hear about the "more" part, and to know about GR purchasing options.
Types of Swords
My Portfolio
I'm always happy 
except when I am not.
"And more" is usually reserved for minor changes to the game itself. Most issues have it during the initial preview.
One thing I think they said would be in there would be the ability to switch characters without logging out to the login screen.
Always remember, we were Heroes.

Don't they normally say "and more"?

(Looks at the original release post)
Nope.
I only see "and more."
Is it some special pixel in one of the letters that changes the entire meaning of the phrase for PP?
Looked carefully. But I still only see "and more."
"and more." usually is understood to mean:
"We listed all the main things already, but there are another 2 or 3 things not really worth mentioning."
Nope. Don't see it. . . . Should I be squinting or something?

You never know. I recall that Weapons Customization pretty much came out of the blue; IIRC because there was a sudden insight as to how it could be pulled off. I tend to interpret it as "and whatever stuff happens to become ready for release at the last minute".

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
What I wanna know about i17 is, with the ultra mode will we be getting updated Character models (I don't want mittens anymore!) and will we be getting improved lighting effects like where you fire off a power and the light from it shines around the room kinda thing...
"And more" is just something to drive you nuts over the next few weeks P_P. 
Maybe we'll get the mail system they mentioned at hero-con.
Isn't i17 called "Dark Mirror" since it introduces an arch-nemesis/doppleganger feature where you have a Praetorian Earth alternate self who wants to beat you down?

The new content may well be linked to Praetoria, though.
Always remember, we were Heroes.
I wonder if this issue will update the existing goatee earth stuff to be inline with GR.

Hey all, Just to clarify before speculation runs toooooo rampant, we're not doing a Nemesis-type system for Issue 17. War Witch |
It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Not to sound like too much of a downer, but have you actually looked at the screen shots for Ultra Mode? It affects shadows, reflections and water. It doesn't affect visual f/x or how detailed things like costumes and NPCs are. Don't get me wrong, I'm very much looking forward to it, but I don't think UM by itself will suddenly make this game look like a game designed for initial release in 2010. I'm happy to be proven wrong, of course. |

Sometimes "and more" does hide a few big things that they enjoy blasting us with as the release gets closer...
Some possibilities include:
Electric Controller and/or further Power Proliferation!
Further Power Customization (I'd say not likely as it seems like it would require too many developers for too much time/work right now... but maybe just maybe [I'm looking at you power pools]). And, I know they did say this was not likely until after Going Rogue.. but-hey-it-is-still-possible-it-could-get-done-sooner!
The quick change characters without relogging
Big Red Ball
Some bug fixes, minor tweaks and alterations
Sharks in the water
Just a few somewhat realistic possibilities (Some of them anyways)

I would LOVE sharks in the water!

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I am so very excited about the upcoming Issue 17. Especially since we will get my beloved Ultra Mode befor July. I have read and re-read all the interviews, which just make me more and more excited. I am trying to control myself thoe. But?! What I have been reading, is just amaZing.
Ultra Mode? How will your graphics card stack up? Positron breaks it down in this Link!
IMO, Ultra Mode will change this games face forever. As well encourage new people to try our game. On some other game sites I notice one of the main complaints about our game is the graphics, so hopefully this will blow them away. The other main complaint is the mission maps...
Then it says, "New Badges, New Missions, and New Player Emotes". Am I the only insane person who is desperately hoping that that secretly means new 21 to 50 content? *lol*

More? What more could there possibly be befor Going Rogue?
TBH, now I am kinda confused about what all the features will be inside the paid expansion. I would imagine it's gonna be huge, but since we are getting all this good stuff now... My mind is just totally baffled.
Anyways, Thanks for all your hardwork developers.
