I want to formally welcome back any and all players who have returned to City of Heroes/Villains during this reactivation weekend. I hope that you enjoy your time with old and new friends, and ultimately decide to rejoin our active players in what we feel will be an exciting and bright future for Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
Right now, Issue 13: Power and Responsibility is live on all servers. There are lots of new things to do and try out, so get out there and explore the new Day Jobs, Pact Leveling, Shield and Pain Domination powersets, and more! Weve made a ton of changes to powers, so a Free Respec has been granted to all characters. I know we didnt give much notice on this Freespec, so to make up for that, and in the spirit of the season, another free respec will be given out before the end of December. Remember, these dont stack, so if you want to take advantage of both, you need to use the one you have currently before we issue the next one sometime after Dec. 21st.
Costume Tokens have been issued to all characters, one token per Costume Slot you have unlocked. These allow you a free trip to the Tailor/Facemaker in the game to try out all the new Day Job related costume pieces we have put into Issue 13.
If you havent tried PvP in a while you might find some new changes to the system enticing. I encourage anyone who has wanted to try the system to give it a chance. To those of you who were happy with how the old system worked, I have some good news for you. We have designed an Arena Options system that will allow the user to create a unique experience using some aspects of the pre-Issue 13 PvP along with the newly introduced changes. This will allow for more dynamic user controlled experiences to occur in the Arena environment. We expect to have this on the training room very soon.
Again, welcome to the new Issue. We hope you enjoy the stay!
