Issue #15 Coming to Live Servers Soon!

Greetings Heroes and Villains!

NCsoft's latest free expansion "Issue #15: Anniversary" is coming soon, and the data content is now available for download [u]prior[u] to being released on the live servers.

So give yourself a head start!

The download will begin after you exit your play session rather than prior to entering the game. The download is purely optional - you can cancel at any time.

It is important to note that you will [u]not[u] be able to see or experience the "Issue #15: Anniversary" content until it has been officially released on the live servers, but, again, receiving it ahead of time will allow you to play right away (once the content is available), instead of waiting for a large patch to download.

Remember - you can cancel the download at anytime. Your progress will be saved and you can resume downloading the content the next time you are done playing City of Heroes®.

Please visit our Game Updates page to get an overview of what's included in "Issue #15: Anniversary".


Note: The download window is currently not showing the text explaining this process. The patching system is still working correctly.


P.S.: I did well? Gimme a cookie!

So it'll go live either late this week or sometime during next week. Either way, I15 has taken them longer than I expected.

Thanks for the post, Saxtus!

I’ve just checked it out the official website and noticed a problem with the Union Jack in the 7th picture... See if you can spot it.

I suspect that its taken them longer than they expected as well got the feeling they wanted it in beta just after the anniversary and out soon after.

Probably down to (I suspect) only a handful of people working on i15 whilst the great majority are working on the expansion.

Eh. That's possible, but I wouldn't assume it. Generally speaking, delays in IT projects are rarely caused by a lack of manpower.

Well, I did clearly say that I suspect it's why, not that it's definitely why.

And has (allegedly) been corrected on the latest version on Test Server.

It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

See I was thinking of typing something similar, but damnit you were there first. So I'll go with

"Great time spent patching when I could be doing something else with my bandwidth"

Instead.

Does that work?

They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"

I know it's wrong, but can I profess my wub for you now?

Loved for my negativity? Never has a mysanthrope been this confused before

Apparently the launcher does no such thing for the Mac. Ah well

Well, as it had no closed beta period first, the open part seems longer than usual.
There'll be a couple more updates to the TF before it hits live though.

Do we know if Issue 15 will include the badge changes? And are their any bug fixes included, especially with regards to the placement of mobs under (and so often hidden by) defendable objects in the Editor? To be honest, if there's not much more than listed, I'll probably play the two Taskforces once or twice through, and that'll be it for me once my 6 month pre-paid comes to an end; I'm not really getting any sense of re-invigoration from anything coming down the pipe sadly. Not even Going Rogue, as I've already seen all the content that side on my main villain too.

I shall miss my 'Activated' Badge title for my main but still, you win some, you lose some. Gotta roll with the punches.
