Thank you War Witch! Can't wait for this. My computer is all nice and ready for Ultra Mode (I hope), and I'm dying for new content (and badges! I love badges!)
... So where's my beta invite? >.>
OMFG. Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning before Going Rogue!? WINNNNNNNN. I can't express my gratitude 
Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.
Will the GR: Complete Collection version be available for pre-order at the same time as the standard version?
Hit the test server now. Mod8 just announced that they put the Dual Pistols set on there for testing. /Cactus Jack "BANG BANG!"

I'm curious about this one. Does this mean that a newer player doesn't have to run a character all the way to 50 before unlocking VEATs or Kheldians? If so, why the change?

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Yes, as a closed beta. They pulled an I16, so if you're not in the beta you can't access the character creator.

I think it's possibly related to the 1-20 GR content in some way.

I'm part of the loyalty program and don't have access. My other half is part of both the loyalty program and a veteran and can't access.

It's entirely possible they haven't even started yet. Plus, there is one line that says "Closed Beta invitations are being sent out via email within the next couple of days, so please keep an eye on your Inbox to see if you have received one" (emphasis mine), so it might not all be in a single wave.|

In other words... Patience.

My one hope is that they did say 'Over the coming days'. So, given it only *just* released today, we may get in this week, maybe next.|

Hey all,
Just to clarify before speculation runs toooooo rampant, we're not doing a Nemesis-type system for Issue 17.

First post after War Witch, if only because I can.
I curse you with every fibre of my being, KAKTOS.
Ah! I was waiting to download a 2nd copy of the game to get in the training room until my new computer got here (darn you Dell in delaying my Alienware!) but now I just might do it on my current computer.
Thanks for the info, will be on the lookout for my email

Now if this were an announcement that I17 would be a paid expansion, I'd question whether they'd replaced War Witch with Daeke >.>

EDIT: Looking at your wording, it seems like you're not ruling out a nemesis system in a future Issue

Ultra Mode, Issue 17: Dark Mirror and Going Rogue!
A while ago, we announced Ultra Mode, a brand spanking new addition to the City of Heroes® universe that will bring Paragon City and the Rogue Isles to an even fresher and visually more pleasing level!
Ultra Mode will allow you (as long as your computer can handle it) to experience City of Heroes® in a completely different light...literally! You will rediscover places and landmarks in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles as if you'd never seen them before, and best of all, it will be in Issue 17: Dark Mirror, our next free expansion! And it is worth mentioning that once Going Rogue has released, you will experience even greater graphics since Praetoria was developed from the ground up with Ultra Mode in mind!
No more waiting in anticipation of this amazing new feature, for its availability is right around the corner! And to make it even more worth your while, here are some additional features you can expect to see in Issue 17: Dark Mirror
But that is not all the news we have in store for you!
Remember Going Rogue? That's right, how could you forget? Well, you have the opportunity to get access to the Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning power sets in March and April, if you pre purchase City of Heroes Going Rogue (MSRP $29.99 USD)! You will also be able to get your hands on an exclusive item pack if you get the City of Heroes Going Rogue: Complete Collection (MSRP $39.99 USD), that will be available when Going Rogue releases in July! What's in that item pack, you ask? Well, a few nifty things like:
Is this too much for you to handle? Hang in there, this year promises to be a fantastic one in City of Heroes® and we've got more details for you on these different offers coming soon!
