Yay! Nice items. These are the sorts of things I'd consider purchasing. I'm even using Mako's Bite and Touch of Death on a toon right now. Too bad I already bought all the regular ones I need.
Temp powers still too expensive. I used an XP boost that I got for free on a character during an ITF, and while I think it made a difference, I'm not sure. Not worth $5.60. Really needs to be less before I'd consider purchasing.
Same with return full health. $2.80 for five wakies? No. 50 cents, maybe.
Overall though a nice list. Want the leaves.
After November 14 the purchasable IOs featured will be removed from the market? That makes it impossible to plan their use. And the price is still higher than it should be (ideally, they should be around 25-50 cents each).
Lower the price more and make them a permanent addition to the store and I can see myself buying them. Under current conditions, I pass.
The best comics are still 10�!

WARNING: I bold names.
Path Aura looks nice. I don't mind the price either, for two accounts. I'm probably going to purchase these as soon as Cox Cable fixes the Internet in our house this week, so I can log in to the game.
The rest of the offerings do not suit my tastes for various reasons.
Overall, I found something I like this week and feel good about my decision to purchase the item when I can get in game to do so.

TouchOfDeath is nice for 400pts. However, is it still going to be on the market come i21.5? Because I have chars that want to use it there.

it's kinda fun, my PB had 10 bars of Patrol XP, I popped the XP Booster when we started, I gained a level in the first mission because I needed less than two bars, used Experienced for another 5 bars later. By the time the ITF was over, I went from 36-39.|

and...buying that path aura >.>
The other enhancements you can buy can only be claimed once, but until you claim them, they are not tied to any character. If you know you will want them on a future character, buy them while they are on sale and don't claim them until you make the new character.
You might get screwed if you change your mind about the character, but if not, you won't lose anything.
Quote:
Attuned IOs sit in your email waiting to be claimed by one of your alts. And if that alt doesn't use it, it can be globally emailed to another alt. (You can't, however, email it to anyone else, put it in a Base Enhancement Table, trade it, or sell it.)|

So, you can buy several sets now and use them up as you create new alts in the future.

I'd consider the enhancement prices pretty awful, if not for the fact that they're apparently going to be taken out of the store by the time the sale expires anyway. As it is, they're still too much, but not "LOL" too much.
Is the autumn aura supposed to be fallen leaves? It looks more like sprouting/growing leaves. If the latter, I was wondering if you could rename it to something more appropriate, maybe to something like verdant or fertile aura. I wouldn't complain, except that it looks like the aura does the exact opposite of what is associated with autumn.

Well, it's not precise to call it an 'aura'... it is a 'path aura'... Autumnal Path Aura.

Not what I was expecting the aura to be (thanks for the vid link) and would have to agree with the thought that it does go the opposite way of what autumn implies (decay; wind-swept, etc)

*shrug* It looks quite a bit like running through a layer of fallen leaves to me. I'd say that's very autumnal. I'm not sure what else you would expect an Autumn Leaves path aura to look like.

It looks like thick crud is sprouting up and around his feet (maybe it was the colors chosen in the vid); I was expecting something more along the lines of the Leaf Aura(?) that was released a little while ago. Wispy and light; actually stirring around the feet as he ran.|

Trust me, I get the whole 'running-through-the-leaf-pile' thing but having one clump up at your feet isn't pathing (or at least the pathing I had in mind), IMO.
The German Shepherd was still awesome though.
As a side note, Devs: Can we get back into providing official vids/pics to go with these items upon release?

Brown or yellow? Running though fallen leaves.
Green? Mystic fertility aura.
Blue or purple? Vile fungoid growth!

Devs.
Please stop.
We all know that the Phalanx member in question is not going to die until the last part of the arc. The fakeout promos are just tedious. PLEASE, for the sake of my sanity, STOP IT.
