Some details on Issue 10 were announced today. Let the Rikti invasion begin!

I’m on the City Scoop staff, so we heard about this yesterday… darn secrecy vows. 🙂

I know what you mean, I was in the closed beta for I9. Keeping my mouth shut while testing was murder. And lots of fun while reading the forums. 😃

Well I leaked some probable info to **Fish** a while ago…and a few others here, heh.

I will say: This may NOT have anything to do with I10 but it reads like it will more and more. As a preliminary, I run The Resistance/Defense Spreadsheet on the forums ( [www.culex.us/ig/CHres.xls](http://www.culex.us/ig/CHres.xls) ). I get my information from some spreadsheets that were leaked a while back in some Piggs. The spreadsheets have a LOT of information in them, formulas and the old SSOOCS data and stuff too. Along with a listing of all the enemies in the game, their powers, what their powers do, what levels they spawn at, what their models are…and their Info descriptions. This spreadsheet may have come out with early beta I9; I’m not sure. But I did find some…interesting entries a few months ago.

Several types of Rikti, all Arch-villains. Levels 8, 12, 18, 21, 31, 41. Their description? “These fiendish Rikti have cast off their disguises as game developers and are now leading the Second Invasion of Earth!” They are get their own powerset too, that includes all the Rikti gun/sword/mind attacks, PLUS Teleport, Recall Friend, and Teleport Foe!!

I was able to get Brian up to 40 and his first Portal Corp. mission. Got one-shotted by CK so I knocked down the difficulty to Tenacious, tried again, and got two-shotted. ☹

Most of us have our Heros on Virture, and our Villians on Protector.

At the very least, you could join the Global Chat Channel CECIL

Sorry about last night. HM2 (House Monkey #2) decided he would only sleep when someone was holding him.

Are…there any others of us who are able to beta I10? I get lonely over there…and massively confused as I haven’t got access to the betaboards yet.
