Is this for heroes AND villians???
[/ QUOTE ]
The official preview states this is content sourced through Ouroborous and its available to heroes or villains.
Now, if you're asking is this a co-op map? I don't think so. I'm not sure its possible for this game to source co-op maps without a co-op zone point of origination.

The Midnighters hold a secret that could bring the alien assault to an end, but without the help of the Heroes of Paragon City it will remain Lost forever.

I notice that "Lost" is capitalized... I think that they are a very underused part of this game, and I hope this means we will be exploring their ties to the Rikti more fully!

Midnight Squad...ending the Rikti conflict...10-20 level range...
Plus the Lost.
Investigating how to save Hero 1, perhaps?

Wow this is simply awesome, I am really awe struck at the pictures of this zone it look very well done. I am curious though, will level 50 heroes be able to join the midnight squad? I have so many goose bumps right now.

Good call! Sounds about right to me.
I'm really excited about the level 10 to 20 content. Who would have thought my lack of playtime lately will pay off. My spines scrapper is stuck at level 10 and will remain there until this issue arrives. More love until then for those over 20.
Um...unless I decide to delete some of those 20+ for more slot room to take advantage of power proliferation. There goes that plan.
REALLY excited about this. Midnight Squad is such an interesting part of game lore.
and why do I have a feeling we get to see the Well of Furies based on some of the things being described, such as "Seeing the origins of powers"..

The Midnight Squad
JOIN THE MIDNIGHT SQUAD (LEVELS 10 - 20)
The clandestine organization of mystics, scholars and mages, known only as the Midnight Squad, seeks to rebuild its numbers since the devastating assault of the Rikti Invasion. The Midnighters hold a secret that could bring the alien assault to an end, but without the help of the Heroes of Paragon City it will remain Lost forever.
NEW ROMAN-STYLE ZONE MAPS (LEVELS 35 - 50)
The Midnighters hold many secrets within their walls, including a highly coveted Ouroboros crystal, enabling them to travel to the far reaches of time. There is a familiar threat in an ancient land and the Midnighters need the help of both Heroes and Villains to stop it. Players step foot upon the ancient land of the Roman Cimeroran Peninsula, where they battle deadly creatures, defend an ancient city and ultimately come face to face with the enemy of time itself. Throughout this journey players uncover the mysteries of power and the origins that guide them today.

Looks like the 10-20 is Heroes only, and 35-50 is Heroes and Vills.

That's the way I read it as well. I hope there's actually some different 10-20 stuff for Villains, too. Even though I enjoy the co-op in the RWZ, I'm leery of them adding too much co-op stuff. At least in this case Villains should have a very strong motivation for cooperating with Heroes, though. Anyone who read the first CoH novel can probably guess why.

I'm devided
it seems like City is trying to play catch up with other games based on Fantasy content. I know there have been fantasy elements throughout and fantasy is no stranger to comics but it's never been a real FOCUS. In a sense, it seems like they are trying to cash in on the popularity of fantasy based games.
on the other hand... and much more importantly...
ZOMG ROME!!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I'm 99.9% sure the lvl 10-20 content is available to both heroes and villains. The Devs had said there's more interest to making content available for both heroes and villains than just one side or the other so this might be a misread.
Can we get red-name confirmation on this?
I am so excited that we can join the Midnight Squad at level 10! I'm going to be able to make alts with Midnight Squad themes, and get them into the group pretty damn soon!

Agreed when I read that as well it seems the lvl 10-20 content is only heroes, which makes me immensely sad inside. Clarification would be greatly appreciated.
It's going to be about the Well of the Furies and the Erinyes
furor what poetry
everyone thought that was an anagram for fourth power tray
but they were wrong......
The Furies (their Roman name) or Dirae ("the terrible") typically had the effect of driving their victims insane, hence their Latin name furor.

As it's written says that this will be a Heroes only zone. When combined with this quote from Back Alley Brawler

Zones, Will there be more VILLAIN specific ones?
[/ QUOTE ]Possibly. More likely to see new zones that both factions can access, either through co-op play or through competing storylines. I'm not sure I agree that villains really need more exclusive zones...there are a lot of zones hero side that aren't used that much. Wouldn't make sense to spend all the time to make a bunch of villain only zones so they could sit unused too. Really nothing to do with how many people are playing villains...doesn't make any more sense to make exclusive hero content either. That's really more of a Posi quesiton though.
[/ QUOTE ]
Makes me wonder what's going on, BAB says no new villain zones because heroes don't use all of theres and that it also dosen't make any sense to make more exclusive hero content and than they go and make an exclusive hero zone?
I would love some clarification on this new 10-20 zone.

It's too early to assume that the Midnight Squad content will have anything to do with arcane droppers. In fact, since it looks like it will have to do with the Lost, who only drop tech salvage, I suspect it won't give anything more worth farming than your typical arc does now. Which is fine.
To be fair, though, arcane salvage can't be construed as "rare" when there are 2000 Luck Charms for sale at any given point in time; it's just heavily and actively manipulated.

It might have a double meaning, then, since we ARE getting additional power trays.

It could be this is just content added to existing zones. It doesn't specifically say this is a zone.
This sounds great and I really hope this means that other groups from the game will be brought into the content in a much more tangible way.
Level 50 is a journey, not a destination.

Excellent point, I had completely overlooked that it didn't actually specify that it was a zone just new content.
So now heroes have more zones and more content than they need while Villains run the same story arcs over and over. ^_~

The way it reads to me makes it seem the 10-20 is hero only while the 35-50 will be open to both so both sides can get the roman armors.
I have to admit, I'm really looking forward to this.
