The folks over at BigDownload have sat down with Melissa Bianco as part of their E3 coverage, and asked her a variety of questions about City of Heroes® and City of Heroes® Going Rogue. Learn about the origins of Going Rogue, Praetoria and its ruler Tyrant, as well as a few hints on the future of CoH beyond Going Rogue. It’s definitely worth a read!
Please go here to join in the community discussion of this announcement.
Thanks, -

Screenshot the Spot!
How well do you know your City of Heroes/Villains locations?
Hello, hello and welcome to the Screenshot the Spot forum game where every Wednesday until 4pm Pacific Time (7:00 PM Eastern Time / 12:00 PM GMT / 1:00 Central European Time) you can win your choice of a costume code from past Con seasons and the Forum Title "Screenshot Spotter [date]".
The object of this game is to be the first to 1). Figure out the location in-game depicted in the screenshot and 2). Post a screenshot that is closest to the one I have posted , with your own character in the place of the character present in the screenshot. Sounds easy right? Well there's a catch. The location isn't going to be as obvious as you might think so make sure you pay close attention to the picture details and hints.
The Pictures will start out masked and more and more of the image will be revealed as time goes on as long as no one has correctly identified the location by posting their own screenshot. If by the end of the day no one has identified the location, the full picture will be revealed and no one will win for that week (BOOOOOOO!).
Rules:
1. Your post must contain a screenshot of the location depicted in the initial contest post, but with your character in the place of the character present in the screenshot.
2. Screenshots must remain less than 800px X 500px to qualify.
3. UI needs to be turned off (Menu -> Options -> Keymapping -> scroll to bottom under other "Toggle Screenshot UI")
4. Reply in the official City of Heroes® forum (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/) thread created for each weekly Screenshot The Spot Contest with your screenshot submission.

There were 6 finalists this week that all had a serious chance at being declared the victor. That isn't to say other entries weren't good, but 6 at the final is a very difficult choice. With Avatea's assistance we were able to narrow that 6 down to 2 amazing finalists.
Finally unable to decide, we had to call in reinforcements to the judging. BAB's proved to have great decision making abilities however, and we're very happy with his choice.
So without further ado...
Congrats BackFire!
According to legend, if Punxsutawney Ocho sees his shadow, there will be at least 8 more weeks before Going Rogue beta starts...
Aww, shucks!
Of course, if this were a true reflection of the closed beta this contest would have had to happen sometime around the real groundhog day, so we'll appreciate the humor and know that Going Rogue is growing ever closer.
Hope you folks enjoyed your sneak peak! -

Congrats Obsidius, on a great entry!
TheOcho reporting LIVE from Mighty Mart, where launch day for the new Going Rogue expansion has been met with heavy crowds, with shoppers pouring into the streets to get their copy. In the words of one shopper, 'It's all Jacked up.
Go ahead and send me a PM with your costume code request! -
It would be terrible if some official employee went in to this thread and suggested that for humor value digital manipulations of this picture could be posted. Absolutely terrible.
I would never do that. Never. -
Happy Birthday EMpulse!
As a surprise, one of our sister studios sprung for a very special treat for the young lady.
Some days work is a bit weirder than others. -

Amazing effort both of you, You do of course have the right answer. As the official rules have nothing about edits (and I can review a time and change log of any edits you do make) I award this to Mephistroth! Congrats!
Please PM me with the code you desire.
Thanks, -
You folks are sharp, but not quite what I need yet. Hopefully this will make things a bit clearer.

Hey Folks,
I know a lot of you are curious about the new enhancements, and I wanted to give make sure you folks are fully informed.
What are these new enhancements?
Will of the Seers:
+ Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%.
+ Your power now has a chance to cause additional Psi Damage
Clockwork Efficiency:
+ Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%.
+ Your power now has a chance to additional Energy Damage
Might of the Empire:
+ Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%.
+ Your power now has a chance to knock down opponents
Resistance Tactics:
+ Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%.
+ Your power now has a chance to cause additional Smash Damage
Syndicate Techniques:
+ Increase the damage of your power and reduce its recharge time by 16%.
+ Your power now has a chance to cause a Lethal Proc
How do the enhancement bonuses work?
Much like Invention Origin Enhancements, these enhancements provide an unchanging bonus towards the respective effects. This is affected by Enhancement Diversification like any other enhancement.
What about the chance to cause damage?
From levels 1 to 20 the enhancement provides a chance to cause a small amount of additional damage. After level 20 this chance will no longer occur.
I hope this clears any confusion up.
Thanks, -
