Break frees. When squishies no longer were out of luck once mezzed, and they hadn't eaten their mez prevention candy. |
Making sure to sell DOs and SOs to the right vendor in order to maximize profit (otherwise I might not be able to afford my next round of enhancements in a few levels!).

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
Orange inspirations. When you're SR, there's only so much help you can get from more defense. +Res goes a long way.

Yes, doing away with the "power 10" enhancements was a sweet update. I remember level 27s hanging around the stores in FF and Bricks, waiting for someone who had it unlocked to come along to buy their end mod and travel SOs for them.

Stacking armours- Tanks only being able to run one armour at a time really sucked.
For that matter, the change from "Unyielding Stance" to "Unyielding" was also a really nice change. Forced immobilize to use your status protection, not so fun.
Also, the Sonic (blast and buff) and Archery (Archery/Trick Arrow) sets. They're so established by now I sometimes forget they weren't available at launch.

Sartre once said, "Hell is other people." What does that make an MMO?
Combining enhancements. What did I do before it?


Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

Doors that open in missions.
Autoexemping for TFs. Since eclipsed by the SSK system. (It used to be that anyone who had out-leveled a task force had to exemplar into the TF level range and would be kicked from the TF the second they unexemped. If either of the exemplared pair lost connection the exemplar would be ended. *boot*)
Instanced outdoor missions.
The graphical upgrade that accompanied City of Villains. (Since eclipsed by Ultra Mode, but it was still a nice improvement at the time.)
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
May not "count" since they came in when I did, but Khelds.
Sonic and Trick Arrow.
Not getting kicked off TFs for losing an exemp.
SG bases
Global chat
Having the stores show up on the zone maps. It used not to be the case.
Tram stop in Croatoa.
Inventions
Dark Armor being able to toggle on more than just one armor at a time. There was a time where the developers thought it was a good idea that Dark Armor was supposed to switch armors depending on the situation they were in.

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

There was a recent thread about top 5 improvements to the game, and it made me think back of all the updates. More specifically, the additions to this game. It took a sec for me to realize that "Oh yeah! That wasn't always here!" That there have been some really smart updates to the game experience that I pretty much forgot they were introduced; they're second nature in the game now.
My list:
What stuff has been introduced that you forget is/was 'new?'
