Issue 5 Features Preview: Forest of Dread

Croatoa. It’s a name that conjures up images both mysterious and fantastical. In Issue 5, be prepared to enter a new enchanted realm of supernatural danger, where myth becomes reality and ancient legends walk the earth. Croatoa is a place steeped in old magic, ruled and contested by witches, Red Caps, Fir Bolgs and the Tuatha de Dannan. Any hero who faces these creatures in the wooded depths of Croatoa will know the true meaning behind the title, “Forest of Dread.”

For complete details on what Issue 5 will bring to City of Heroes, including a new Croatoa Task Force, new power sets, mission customization, new zone events and much more, please visit our Issue 5 Preview Page.

Omgomgomgomgomg.

Hey, we wanted varity, they were kind enough to deliver.

Now, which book is Forest of Dread taken from?

that giant looked AWESOME!

Yay more shared power sets between controllers and defenders. There was not enough overlap already.

This is an offical first.

My thoughts exactly! Yeah for only one primary to call our own!

so more power sets? will we get more character slots? i'm full up on my main server...and i'd like to put one of these on there

Aye. So much for concern about making defenders feel important in high levels (ie: when controllers have slotted all the good defender powers) :/

Possibly, as Longfellow translated Dante:

" Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.
So bitter is it, death is little more;
But of the good to treat, which there I found,
Speak will I of the other things I saw there."

He shortly passes through the gate inscribed: All hope abandon, ye who enter here.

Time to get some alts up to lvl 20 - first to burn through Striga, then to hit Croatoa. Hurray for new content! Oh, and the Tuatha de Dannan and the Fir Bolg - way cool. Nice to see some Celtic mythology in there!

Mission customization! Waves of enemies! NPC Escort! And more!

Better than having no secondary to call your own.

Otherwise...Weee! More magic based enemies. Wonder how they all sit with the CoTs, Tsoo, and BP

Why atleast they get new powers. There is nothing for Scrappers or tanker. I love the way they have been left out in the cold.
Later,

two sets of drewl-fest...
beta test of CoV in July or August, & I5 test in july & I5 live in august....
dang, must ditch GF so i can play

Kinda weird when you consider that the developers refuse to let scrappers and tanks share more powersets for diversity reasons.

Uh huh.. Riiiiiiight.

Well Tankers Primaries and Scrapper secondaries are still more unique then Defender Primaries and Controller Secondaries.

YEAH! All these changes looks great!

SWEET Baby JEEBUS! Tell me when! Tell me when!
