Welcome back!
A good place to start your research is here: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issues.

I feel like an old man. Or I was cryogenically frozen for years and I have returned to a strange future. I wonder if any of my old crowd even still plays. This will be interesting...
Things have changed, but I think you will like it.
But yes, paragonwiki is a great place to start.

We're seeing a lot of returning folks. Here's my list from another thread:
13 Power and Responsibility: Day Jobs (log out to get stuff). 2nd build. Villains can easily respec their Patron now. Starting supergroup bases are now much cheaper. Have a Shield power set now.
14 Architect: Introduced player made content. Also TF/SF drop Merits now, just collect enough and buy the recipe you want. Flight and Hover speed increased greatly; basically you don't need to slot them any more.
15 Anniversary: Dominator revamp, base damage increased greatly. Costume tailor in Pocket D now, Mastermind pets no longer block owner's movement.
16 Spectrum: Color your powers almost any color. Also many alternate animations have been added. Choose these at the tailor/costume creator. More better difficulty options. Super sidekicking. Many badge requirements lowered.
17 Dark Mirror: Ultra mode (better graphics). Posi task force major revamp. Chat hide. Auction house UI revamp. Lots of little QOL stuff. Animated tails.
18 Shades of Grey: Alignment & Tips missions (these are awesome). Auction House merger -- red and blue are now the same market. Cathedral of Pain.
19 Alpha Strike: Merged the monorails, ferries and black helicopters; get to anywhere from anywhere. Fitness inherent. Help channel is now /hc
20 Incarnates: More black helicopters. BAF and Lambda for Incarnates (must have Going Rogue). Leagues (teams of up to 48 players). LFG queue system.
20.5 Incarnates Ascend: AoE buffs for FF/Thermal/Kin/Ice others.
There's much more but that's my condensed version of the stuff that will affect you the most. Check out the link to Paragon Wiki above!
Note : if you have not already, I'd recommend the Going Rogue complete collection - month of sub, the powersets, 2 slots, and some goodies on the side.
Orc&Pie No.53230 There is an orc, and somehow, he got a pie. And you are hungry.

Hey guys,
I had my main "The Third Man" on Guardian since Issue...3 or 4? I played up until 12-14ish and I have no idea about all these new fangled powers and whatnot you kids have now. I don't even know where to start but what would you say I absolutely need to check out? Stamina is inherent now!?
