I am excited beyond comprehension.

Wow, this looks to be an intense and very fun expansion, I think. If this is half what it's already hyped to be then I thin kyou guys will have solidly outdone yourselves.

BadStorm · 06-13-2007 08:38 AM

Wow. Neat.

Sounds fantastic! Did one of the pics say "This zone is open to both Heroes and Villains, in their combined, desperate struggle to hold the front lines against the second Rikti Invasion. "? That's great!

I want to see level 35+ Rikti randomly showing up in EVERY zone, including Atlas etc. Think of the excitement.

Itsy Bitsy Slicer - Lvl 50 Kat/Reg Scrapper on Guardian
Flying-Tiger - Lvl 32 Sonic/Energy Blaster on Guardian

Okay, now that you can technically play with both heroes and villains from levels 35 +, I think that everyone that wants to "combine the archetypes" can find a way to be happy, while purists (like myself) can get over themselves.

Please tell me villains are going to get more Strike forces in the level ranges they are missing in issue 10? If not this is more towards giving heroes more content than filling in any gaps villains have. I just hope this is just the first part of the issue 10 goodies.

Bump and Grind Bane/SoA
Kenja No Ishi Earth/Empathy Controller
Legendary Sannin Ninja/Pain Mastermind
Entoxicated Ninja/PSN Mastermind
Ninja Ryukenden Kat/WP Scrapper
Hellish Thoughts Fire/PSI Dominator

Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!

Since everything being added can be enjoyed equal by both groups (if I read that correctly), this is as split down the middle as things can get.

Invention items with a story purpose and specific zone associated with 'em? I was hoping they would get around to using inventions in a more story focused context, but I figured it would be a few issues out. Nice to be wrong in this case. I wonder if the Co-op TF will require both sides to be on the team to start or if it is just a chance for mix-and-match. Can't wait!!

Villain + Hero co-op zone...

Local_Man · 06-13-2007 08:50 AM

Looks cool -- We've been asking for more content in the 35-40 range, as well as 50+, and this seems to meet those needs. Can't wait to see it!

LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

Bleak_NA · 06-13-2007 08:52 AM

Hmm so this means new power sets too right?
I do remember the Dev team saying new sets in I10, something like a new set for each AT?
I can't wait!!!

Yep. Looks like the Dev finally gave up on making unique content for each side and are just smearing the games together now.

Y3kbug · 06-13-2007 08:53 AM

Looks very cool!

Some kind of rough ETA would be appreciated.

Vangelus · 06-13-2007 08:54 AM

I really hope the World Event doesn't end too quickly.

I really really hope the Crash Site is going to be a permanent co-op zone.

Eisregen_NA · 06-13-2007 08:55 AM

I'm pretty sure they said no new sets in I10. And from the looks of it, they got their hands full.

As for the actual topic of the thread? What can I say? Damn nice. The only consideration I have now is how to make the most out of a hero/villain combo. Seven Controllers/Defenders/Corruptors and a Brute? Sounds about right.

I can see that, and it's a completely legitimate way to cry "Dooooooom!" I'm just personally going to strangle those that feel that this issue is proof of Hero favoritism.

We really should stop taking down those Flyers now.

We are going to need them!
