All we know:

Paragon Studios is proud to officially announce the next City of Heroes® expansion, City of Heroes Going Rogue! This will be the first major expansion for the City of Heroes franchise since the launch of City of Villains® in 2005.

Praetoria, a utopian mirror to our own world, hides a dark secret. Exploring this mysterious alternate earth, the heroes and villains of this world feel an uneasiness of doubt creep over them. Loyalties are questioned. Choices are made. Lines are drawn. As they search for the truth behind Emperor Cole and his Praetorian guard, brutal foes and fierce allies emerge, turning this once blissful paradise into a battle ground.

City of Heroes Going Rogue officially opens the "mirror universe" of Praetoria and an all-new alignment system that explores the shades of gray that lie between Heroes and Villains. For the first time, Hero characters can become Villains and vice versa, enabling Heroes to cross over to the Rogue Isles and Villains to experience Paragon City.

For more information, read the official press release and check out our new Going Rogue website to view the announcement trailer and register for the latest news and updates for City of Heroes Going Rogue.

*squeeeeeeeeeeel* *pop*

Damn it, my head exploded from the awesome

While I'm not a huge fan of the concept of side switching, the way the massively rumor presents it sounds fantastic!

Alimistar · 05-12-2009 05:25 AM

All I can say is..... WTF??? O_o

Excited but scared at the same time.

Frostweaver · 05-12-2009 05:26 AM

Eh, no. If I can play a heroside dom, brute, or corruptor.... Well let's just say my controller, tanker, and blaster alts are shaking in their boots.

Doms, especially, with what castle seems to be thinking about for buffs.

Actually I'd expect plenty of Tankers to go Brute and Defenders to go Corruptor if given the chance.

But.. we don't have all the details yet. I see "crossing over", not "starting out" with villains on blueside. It's unknown yet whether you can cross back. What happens when you cross? Do you revert to level 1? Stay at your current level? What level minimum for crossing over? 35?

A larger issue is probably what this is going to do overall to the villainside population past whatever level is required for crossing sides. There is simply more content blueside. Granted, this is less of an issue with AE, but as one can access AE from both sides why not be on the side with more dev content and have more of everything?

Redside:
-fewer annoying cross-zone FedExes
-no lvl 2 mishes in insanely dangerous areas
-No "Go talk to frigging Lt. Wincott" (instead redside gets the annoying 'go talk to this PvP 'contact' who just says 'behind me is the door to a PvP area'.' ALMOST as boneheaded and annoying, but not quite.)
-cooler Epic Ats
-getting to be, you know...evil?

Things to remember:
-Common sense ain't;
-Overkill is the only kill;
-If someone asks if you're a god, run away.

Those are all good points, but I was talking about the population as a whole. Currently, people prefer blueside to redside almost two to one (whenever I've checked the pops on Virtue anyway). It'll be interesting to see if that stays more or less status-quo after crossing is possible or not. Basically, if the only thing keeping you on your side is preference for the ATs... that goes out the window with this expansion. Are there more such people blueside than red?

We'll see.

The devil (& delight) is in the details. I wanna be amped, but I'm gonna wait for more details before I get too happy.

defenders are dull as their damage output is mediocre at best, corrs get scourge and dont play as a buffbot

Dominators are blast-trollers, they have no equivilent if thats what you want to play.

Brutes are probably the best AT in the game, they can tank, they can kill, what cant they do?

galadiman · 05-12-2009 06:47 AM

You're totally joking, right?
