The icons were always switched. This post from 2008 on the old forums about a mod to fix inaccurate powers icons, created by some nut who must be obsessed with them, mentions it specifically:

Corruptors and Defenders get archery primary and secondary powers, that's pretty close to ninja, right? That's pretty close to ninja. The OP has updated with a Ninja-themed pool for Corruptors and Defenders.
-
So I was reorganizing my APP chart, sorting the pools to group them by theme, and saw a big gap in the Earth Mastery column for Masterminds. Now sure, they don't have any Primaries or Secondaries that match the Earth or Stone theme, but that didn't stop Paragon Studios giving them an electric pool, so why hold them back? The OP has been edited to add a pool for Masterminds.
-
Well golly, Dominators can now take Gun for both their primary and secondary pools, so there should be a matching APP! The OP has been edited with a new pool for Dominators.
-
With the update to City of Data, I've added links to the pages for the new pools to the primary spreadsheet.
In addition, the spreadsheet that includes the proposed pools has all-new icons for every pool. Primary and Secondary pools of the same name have the same color scheme no matter what AT they're on, so epic pools should follow suit! Check them out if you like. -

It is an unearned reward. You get just for not playing the game. And to me? That is the single most ridiculous incentive for an MMO ever.
This new source of patrol XP isn't earned for not playing the game, though, but you still hate it?

Hm, I'm looking at CoD now and it seems like only Beta is up to date; Live is missing the new APPs and the renames of the existing APPs.
-
The spreadsheet has been updated with the new pools and changes added in Issue 27 Page 7. Links to the City of Data pages for the new pools will be added when City of Data is updated. If you see something I missed, let me know.

You're not just talking about these buttons here, are you?
It sounds like you do know about them, but they do exactly what you're saying was removed.

The... what? I don't know what you're talking about.

The keybinds.txt file created by clicking the button to save bindings has always taken precedence over the defaults for new characters.
So, PSA for players like me who knew about this feature and already have a keybinds.txt with a bunch of custom binds:
If you'd rather just edit your keybinds.txt file directly, simply add the following line to the file to make all new characters default to the Classic scheme:

The current SBB has 4 movie theaters, but only two movies. The obvious thing to do is to add two more movies, and have the trial pick 2 at random for each run. It already sorta does this, but with only 2 movies to choose from the actual effect is you just run them in a random order.
We should talk about adding completely new SBB trials once the current one has a full list of features (pun intended).

They tried to make "ancillary" pool stick but that clearly didn't work out.
It might have, if they'd made the button in the level up screen to pick one actually say "Ancillary Pool"...

Honestly, this seems pointless. Just more busywork badges.

- Patron > Leviathan Mastery > Water Spout (Controller/Dominator) - Now accepts Pet and recharge intensive sets, no longer accepts Ranged AoE Sets
- Patron > Leviathan Mastery > Water Spout (Scrapper/Stalker) - Now accepts Pet sets, no longer accepts Ranged AoE Sets
So after mulling this over, I think this is a mistake. I think it's fairly evident that Water Spout is meant to serve the role of a ranged AoE attack, albeit one with an extended duration. That it's implemented as a pseudopet in order to achieve its intended effect is just trivia, it shouldn't mean the power is meant to be considered an actual pet power. There are numerous other AoE attacks implemented with pseudopets that still take ranged AoE sets, like Rain of Fire and Blizzard, and even mobile ones like Carrion Creepers and Storm Cell. There's no reason to single out Water Spout like this.

Well then you're gonna want to attend a bunch of Hamidon raids once Page 7 goes live.

Having a Basic, Intermediate, and Expert power display option is only going to help people in the long run.
We basically already have that, with the power descriptions, Detailed Info, and City of Data.

Gonna add my voice to the chorus that this should be a toggleable option. If we want it to be especially new player-friendly, maybe the option can be put in the actual Missions tab instead of buried in the Options menus.

Entirely possible, though it would involve adding hundreds of new recipes to the database. The guys who manage the dbs tend to get cranky when that many entries are created all at once.

Would it be easy to add numerical values for things like power damage? I still don't like the descriptors. New players will be lost without MIDS.
Teaching new players to rely on Mids for power numbers is probably one of the worst things we could do for them-

The alt animation it has in Fire Blast, where the character steps forward and emits the fire from their hand, would probably have the fire shooting out from beyond the maximum range of the Fire Melee version of the power

Problem here, is the base power values. Energize and particle shielding in the armor set already SHOULD have 60s recharges not 120, especially with the regen only lasting 30s. This is the number one change needed to those sets to help them and this specific power out. The base recharge is just way too long. (which is even acknowledged with the sent versions being shorter, but even 90s should be 60 for all non-epic versions of energize and particle shielding.
60 seconds is the cooldown on your Reconstruction et. al. powers, that heal just as much as Energize but with no +Regen or End discount.

Jukebox? Is this some base building object I'm too homeless to understand?

Know what I bet Captain Powerhouse needs? An excuse to make sequencers for Martial Arts attacks that work with a bow equipped. On a related topic, an Archery APP for Sentinels has been edited into the OP.
