Astrology Outfits
I've taken a look at the Elite and Mythic outfits that are currently available for the current three factions and I noticed that the Knights have two Elites based on the Zodiac (Fire Signs, Air Signs) and one Mythic based on the Sun (Solaris), while the Samurai and Vikings only have one ("Zodiac" - Water Signs and "Dawn Sky" - Earth Signs). So the Knights have more Astrology based outfits than the Samurai and Vikings and there are four elements, so I do wonder if the Wu Lin will have any elites/mythics based on Astrology and the Zodiac and what Signs would the other factions get?

I suppose theirs would be based on Chinese Astrology, yes they could also be based on the Chinese Zodiac, but then there would be an outfit for each year, starting with Year of The Rooster 2018. In you have Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, each associated with a direction, time of year, mythical creature, planet, color and parts of the human body (morbid eh?).
Just a guess on my part, it'll be very interesting to see what the Developers go with.

I also have a suggestion for a new Astrology based mythic for the Samurai, if it hasn't already been thought of:
In astrology there is a thirteenth sign in addition to the twelve of the Zodiac, named "Ophiuchus" (Serpent-bearer) that is situated behind the sun from November 30 to December 18.
The suggestion of a 13-sign zodiac achieved some popularity in Japan, where Ophiuchus is known as Hebitsukai-Za "The Serpent Bearer". In fact it's popular enough to appear in the Final Fantasy series and the Mangas Fairy Tail, Saint Seiya and Starry Sky. I personally find the idea of a 13th sign quite foreboding and interesting, it's just a suggestion for a cool Samurai Mythic Outfit.
