I found this on another thread and thought it might interest everyone here. I just copied and pasted. The dopplegangers thing REALLY excites me! SQUEEEEEE

Anyway, more from the event:
PAX East 2010 - CITY OF HEROES - Text Blob

Some highlights:

  • Tails now move, you can send image attachments inside the in-game mail.
  • And now there are Doppelgangers, enemies that are yourself!
    • They can have a color swap, or have the same exact costume, and every character or party will have their own different missions with doppelgangers
  • There are Brand-new zones, Nova Praetoria, Imperial City, Neutropolis, and The Underground
  • Kinetic Melee is added for Stalkers, Brutes, Scrappers, and Tankers
  • Electric Control for controllers and dominators
  • Incarnate System will be 10 Incarnate levels
    • the first level will be available in Going Rogue, along with new incarnate abilities
    • Issue 19 will bring 9 more levels and more abilities
  • there are other new powersets "on the whiteboard" that will make it into future expansions, including staff use

I like the look of the Kinetic Melee from the video I saw. It looks *awesome* but slow - and I'm cool with that. Slower attack sets generally have a lot more damage to make up for it. I am trying to imagine an Electric/Kinetic controller in my head, and what it would look like; the answer is all colours of awesome!

Crud, I wanted Spears.

Oh well, still sounds good.

Issue 17 will change Defenders inherent system to make them solo better

Woot.

That sounds great

... strangely enough, I knew you were refering to that ... no clue why though. I thought that PAX was later in the year .

*leaves lots of chocolate goodies for everyone*

If you take time to help others, you help yourself grow.
If you take time to help yourself, you realize how far you have to go.
If you take time for chocolate . . . you've discovered the secret to a happy life !

Seems to me that Staffs could always have a spear as a custom weapon option.

The confusing part would be on what to do about Smashing vs Lethal damage (I'd presume that most staff damage would be Smashing).

I think this is the first time one of my predictions / hopes turned out correct.

Hmmm..

So I enter a mission and I have to fight myself?

I can't see this ending well for either one of us.

I think Shroedinger's cat would have to enter the mission with you.

That's why sword users can't use kendo sticks.
