For the immediate future, however, I am pleased to announce Issue 12: Midnight Hour for City of Heroes, which will be going into closed beta testing soon. Midnight Hour brings with it a slew of exciting new features including the long anticipated Villain Epic Archetypes, which will be available to anyone who achieves level 50 in City of Villains. The current Hero and Villain Archetypes will benefit from Powerset Proliferation, where we took over twenty existing powersets and gave them to Archetypes that didnt have access to them before. If you ever wanted to play a Controller with the powerset of Plant Control, now is your chance! Psychic Blasters are now a reality, as well as Axe and Mace wielding Brutes. With Powerset Proliferation players now have even more character combinations to choose from.

PSYCHIC. BLASTERS.
i die.
So much stuff here...wow. Just. Wow! NCsoft comes through big time.
Hm... I like each side having its own special powers.
So is it only old powers from each side being shared, or are there also going to be completely new sets?
Sounds very exciting though, I really can't wait!
FAN-TAST-ICK!
*ahem*

Who cares.
Honestly this doesn't look too bad. The Villain ATs unlocked at 50 are far more interesting to me then PBs or WSs unlocked at 50 for heroes.
I'll wait until its on Test before jumping out of my chair.

Hell friggin YES!

Seriously tho, it's pretty rare I look at an update and say out loud, at work, "Holy hell."
Holy hell.
Victory: @Brimstone Bruce
Brimstone Bruce (lvl50 Stone/Fire Tanker) Broadside Bruce (lvl50 Shield/WM Tanker)
Ultionis (lvl50 Dark/Dark Defender) Cortex Crusher (lvl50 Mind/Kin Controller)

NightShift for Life.
Wow.
You know, it seems like every new issue you guys have put out since Issue 9 attempts to top the last one. That's a good thing. From the looks of it if Issue 12 doesn't top Issue 11 at least it'll run a close second.
Just seeing this not only makes me look forward to Issue 12, but it makes me look forward to Issue 13 as well. Since I'm now certain that it'll be at least as good if not better than the last.
Now if an entire issue were devoted to fixing all of the bugs well... that'd probably be the best issue ever IMO.
this sounds great but It brings up 1 large problem, my "home" server is full, 8 heros 4 villians, don't really want to move to another server(due to friends and sg mates)and dont really want to delete chars to make room for new ATs,I have 2 lvl 50 villians and 2 lvl 50 heros.
Fluffy Bunny 1 Person SG
Rabid Bunny 1 Person VG
Both on Pinnacle
Hobbit's Hole 1 Person SG
Spider's Web 1 Person VG
Both on Freedom
*goes to rush my 42 MM to 50*
LOL
@Nurse Donna
You can find me on Infinity, Exalted, Liberty and sometimes on Virtue or Freedom

Holy crap this is looking awesome!!!
So, was I reading it right that each AT will get one primary and secondary power from its corresponding AT (example: Scrapper-Stalker share a good number of powers, minus ninjitsu and energy aura, and energy melee.)? If so that's awesome!
Also, finally get to see those Roman Soldier costumes that were previewed so long ago. Finally, my incarnation of Athena will have an ancient style armor costume!
Wow just Wow!! Redsides finally got epics! Not sure what to make of it just yet but nevertheless WoW!
Wow, I might have a reason to play my L41 dominator again. Hell, I might even have a reason to start playing again, instead of just paying $15 for board access.
Like they said....
HOLY CRAP!
You guys LIED to us: oh there won't be anything 'big' in this issue.
*Has never been so happy to be lied to* 
It almost makes me want to level a villain up. Almost. >_<
