I most likely already know the answer to this question... But is there a way to specifically place mobs?

As it stands right now, it doesnt make sense to have a group of summoners spawn in different rooms, and then the demon they were summon pop up near the middle of the mission, outside of the room with the summoning circle.

Also, I would love to be able to add new powers to existing enemies, and actually play with lower level mobs(such as the Lasher, from villain side 10-20 CoT). But If i add them in now, they wont even spawn if im to high a level...it takes away alot from the Arc im working with.

Is there any actual word on MA Improvements? We got a UI improvement recently, but not much new functionality.

We've been asking for this since AE went live. No dice so far.

If you want to use those mobs and make sure they show up you'll have to set your arc to be level 10-20, which means you won't be getting a lot of plays until the shininess of Praetoria wears off. If you want a demon, the Demon summoning pets may be available as boss or ally/captive details (they would be under the Pets enemy group), and would allow you to make your arc level 5-54, if you're using CoT as the main enemy. If you want to make a higher level arc you can use the Infernal demons, but that'll limit it to high level only.

We got doppelgangers (a fun toy, but of limited use), the designated helper (a definite improvement to people who want decent rewards and like to use allied critters), and a lot of developer silence.

We got a UI improvement? When did this happen?
