It's here! It's here!

From theI12 Patch Notes:

Cimerora is a hub zone (like Ouroboros) with features such as:

Atmosphere spawns around the perimeter and out-of-the-way areas so that players are not attacked while interacting with contacts
Functional Contacts: store, trainer, notoriety contacts for Villains and Heroes
Senator Aquila provides a simple introduction story arc and Marcus Valerius gives out repeatable missions

Added option to display a rating from a Player Note above the players head in the options window. (Note: All ratings or notes you create about other players are only viewable by the writer. Others do not see them.) (So many toons to note as "Dweebazoid", so little time! :P)

Missions’ headers now show the level of the mission. (One of the best, most helpful things ever!)

Kicking a member from supergroup or removing a global friend via button-click will present a confirmation dialog. (I remember those 'oops' moments...)

Disable Camera Shake Option Added (found in options window) (About damn time)

Eight additional power trays added which can be accessed by clicking the “+” sign on the upper-right of the Power Tray Interface or via commands (/show tray1, /show tray2, show tray3, etc).
These trays have no jelly to click on, but can be dragged about by clicking on non-occupied slots or dead space.
These trays are deformable.
Added command /clear_tray which will remove all non-macros from all power trays.

In-Depth Power Information

Leveling Up Bonus

Leveling up will refill health and endurance!

In addition to restoring the player to full health and endurance, leveling up will now greatly inspire the player. (That's one of every type of Tier 3 Inspirations all at once! This is fricking awesome!)

Power Boost - Reduced strength of all versions of Power Boost by 33%, removed Knockback boost and removed stacking from the power. (Sadness)

Fixed the rooting problem where certain buff toggles were activated before they were ready. (Took them long enough.)

Characters will no longer stop earning Influence when playing in Supergroup mode after level 34. Players level 29 and up will now earn 50% of the influence they would have received when in Supergroup mode.

Unlockable weapons for some weapon-based powersets have been added to the game. (Can't wait to see which ones!)

The Sewer Trial, “Descent to the Hydra” now functions like a Task Force where all high level party members (41+) will exemplar down to the Level 40 Trial cap.
Mairenn MacGregor is the NEW Sewer Trial contact and is located in Atlas Park next to the Sewers. The Rikti kill task for Mairenn MacGregor has been lowered.
The OLD Trial contact, Maren MacGregor (in Founder’s Falls) will complete any old Sewer Trial missions, but will not give out any new ones.

Trolls in Skyway will now disappear after their party is over. (No more amassing near the Train? How will I know I'm in Skyway? :P)

Waypoints will appear on the zone maps for the Troll Rave and Hellion Fire events. (Yay!)

Mastermind pets made pushable. Masterminds will no longer be blocked by their pets. Players on the same side as the mastermind will be able to move pets out of the way significantly faster. Enemies’ ability to push pets has remained unchanged.


And only 3 more levels for Star before I've unlocked my villain epics! Yaaaaaayyyyyy!
