*Reads architect changes*
*Does happy Seldom jig*
The other changes are cool too. Hm.
Auction changes...
*wonders if they will 'tweak' the nonexistent/no longer existant item bids*
There should be some more Going Rogue details released this week or next, in addition to this i17 promo, as part of the incentive package to pre-order before 2xp weekend.
Bout time some info spilled.

There's really nothing that I don't like about this issue so far. *thumbs up*
They had me at 750 badges badge.
The 1000 badges badge just made me their *censored*.

Also on Steam
Positron Task Force Update: This Task Force has been split into two halves and dramatically upgraded and updated to ramp up the fun. The final battle of the Task Force takes place in the Faultline Dam and incorporates the new Dark Mirror enemy.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooo
Posi is like a hazing ritual. Leave it be as a brutal test of will.

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

Hooray! Positron Task Force update is about three years overdue.
On the other hand, I actually don't like that you'll soon be able to do a Silver Mantis SF without a mission computer. It's the only thing that that blasted SG base item is good for.

Not that I really like those, but curious if that's what I'm seeing. >_>
Anyway, where is the information about a Trick Arrows buff? There's going to be one, right? ...Right?
Animated Tails
No more tails lying about like dead weight! You will now be able to select tail body parts that will react to your movement and have a swaying or swishing idle animation mode. You will need to go to a tailor to upgrade to the animated version.
w00t! 
I don't think I'm a 'cat girl' per say, just a girl that loves kitties and this is ROCKIN!

I'd rather they make more use of the tech, myself. It would actually fit more with their original idea, where all your missions came from a computer.

"Increased Mission Count: You can now have seven active missions (previously three)."
This made me happy as well. 17 is all win so far.

They've also been put on their own costume node and will now show up under "Lower Body". Which will mean you can do a Belt and a Tail (animated or static) on the same character. Unfortunately, that means the tails under the belt category are being flagged as legacy. So if you want to keep your current, non-animated tail, you'll still need to go in and select that costume part from the lower body the next time you edit your costume at the tailor. |

As to what tails we are getting, we don't know and the only people who know are the Devs, and marketing won't let them talk.

Space reserved for a super awesome Signature, someday...
Poor, poor Cryptic, to have their new, shiny game outdone (again) by Paragon Studios' simple wish to improve the game experience for its players. Good work, Paragon Studios.
Hmmm, must do some more Speed Posi's until I find out more about this "separated into 2 halves" thing. But I heartily agree it is long overdue for a visual upgrade.

With the release of April's Issue 17: Dark Mirror, the newest free update of City of Heroes®, the game you love now has the visual depth, contrast, and richness it deserves! Dark Mirror includes a superior graphics rendering process, dubbed "Ultra Mode," that gives City of Heroes a heightened level of detail in lighting, reflections, shadows, and water effects. Paragon City™ and the Rogue Isles™ have never looked better.
In addition to Ultra Mode, as part of Issue 17, you will confront a new and nefarious foe who will be able to match your character blow for blow.
Other Issue 17: Dark Mirror features include:
- Epic archetypes are now unlocked at level 20.
- Animated character tails.
- New missions, new badges, and new player emotes.
- Quality of life enhancements to the UI and game systems.
- Improvements and additions to Mission Architect.
FeaturesUltra Mode
Ultra Mode includes a superior graphics rendering process for players who have higher-end graphic cards. Each feature can be enabled or disabled in the graphics menu options and will be scalable. Ultra Mode works on both Macs and PCs. In specific, it offers dynamic shadows, screen-space ambient occlusion, and dynamic environment reflections (including planar reflections and environment mapping of reflective surfaces).
Epic Archetypes Unlocked at Level 20
Previously, you had to have at least one character at level 50 to make an epic archetype character. No more! Now you can create an epic archetype character as long as you have any one character at level 20 or higher.
Animated Tails
No more tails lying about like dead weight! You will now be able to select tail body parts that will react to your movement and have a swaying or swishing idle animation mode. You will need to go to a tailor to upgrade to the animated version.
Content
New Story Arcs: Issue 17: Dark Mirror features two new Hero and two new Villain story arcs for levels 20-30. Each of these story arcs has four missions, and the story arcs highlight the Dark Mirror's sinister new enemy. Acquire first Hero story arc in Talos Island, and the first Villain arc in Sharkhead Isle.
Silver Mantis Strike Force Update: The Silver Mantis Strike Force will now be available to all Villains, not just supergroups. You now can access the Silver Mantis Strike Force via Silver Mantis, located in Sharkhead Isle. You can also run this Task Force from your supergroup computer.
Positron Task Force Update: This Task Force has been split into two halves and dramatically upgraded and updated to ramp up the fun. The final battle of the Task Force takes place in the Faultline Dam and incorporates the new Dark Mirror enemy.
New Badges: Along with adding badges for 500 Badges Earned, 750 Badges Earned, and 1,000 Badges Earned, we are adding new exploration badges to city zones, almost doubling the number of exploration badges. You can learn new Accolades for finding all of the exploration badges in each city zone.
New Player Emotes: We'll let you know more about the new emotes soon.
Quality of Life Improvements
Craftable Temporary Powers: You will now have a much cleaner and more consistent way of finding and crafting temporary powers.
Increased Mission Count: You can now have seven active missions (previously three).
Show Last Objective: This UI improvement lets you find your last objective on a mission map, making it easier to find something you've missed.
Auction House: The UI gives you new options for sorting search results, your Auction House inventory is now separated by clearly marked tabs based on the item's status, the Auction House text entry box now autocompletes, and a single click on a recipe displays all salvage needed for that recipe.
In-Game E-mail: You can now use in-game e-mails to send Influence/Infamy to your own characters or to other players' characters via in-game e-mails. (You still cannot send Influence, Infamy, or items from a Hero to a Villain or vice versa.)
Mission Architect Improvements
Experience: You can now handpick the powers for custom enemies and still receive experience for them (within game balance limits).
New Maps: We have added approximately 20 new unique maps.
Giant Monsters: You can now add giant monsters to some outdoor maps.
Exit Mission on Complete: You can now specify that players have to leave the mission manually on completion.
Escort Missions: "Lead to place" technology allows you more control over escort objectives.
"In-Game E-mail: You can now use in-game e-mails to send Influence/Infamy"
I like it. =B
