Issue 13 Closed Beta

Issue 13 has officially gone into Closed Beta testing on the Training Room server! As with previous beta testing, there are waves of invites. If you are not invited this round, you might be in the next. And if all else fails, you can always join Open Beta testing!

Paragon Wiki now part of the Titan Network

The Paragon Wiki is now part of the Titan Network! For details on this move, please read the announcement on our forums.

All users should be aware that accounts are now authenticated using the Titan Network, so please log in with your Titan account. If you had an account on the old wiki that used a different user name, you might be interested in making an account merge request to move your old editing history to your new account.

Splitting Issue 13

Matt "Positron" Miller and Brian Clayton have given us some tasty tidbits about Issue 13:

The Good: The Mission Architect feature is getting customizable allies and enemies, at the request of the playerbase!
The Bad: This will delay the Mission Architect feature, pushing it back to Issue 14: Architect, which is slated for Q1 2009/Winter.
The Awesome: Issue 13: Power and Responsibility (new name) has some spectacular new feature announcements, and is slated for Fall 2008, with closed beta starting "soon™"!

Don't forget to check out the Massively.com interview with Matt Miller and Brian Clayton, with two more interviews linked at the end focusing on the PVP changes and Super Booster packs.

Issue 13 Details Released

New details about Issue 13: Architect have been released to the public! Among the changes are a new mission creator system, a "day job" system in which your characters will earn bonuses for the players logging out in certain locations, new powersets, including Shields and Pain Domination, new Cimeroran missions, and a new merit rewards system for rewarding more time-consuming activities such as long task forces.

In addition, Positron has written a message that goes into some detail about what we can expect from the new features.
