Discussion: More Going Rogue Updates - Demon Summoning

Watch the new Demon Summoning video, highlighting one of the newest power sets included with City of Heroes Going Rogue. Did we say "...one of the newest power sets?" Visit the City of Heroes Going Rogue website to find out the exciting new information just revealed!

First post after redname!

The official site has "Demon Summoning" spelled wrong (as "Demon Summmoning", 3 Ms) on the "Featured Content" tab.

Thankyou now please put us out of our misery and tell us if we get to play them today.
Pleasepleaseplease.

Holy crap! 7 different demons! Close-up MM attacks! Wicked awesome looking pets! This is everything I want in a MM and more! I'm probably going to end up woth at least 3 Demon Summoners now.

Hey Avatea, tell the site admin to fix the download links for the Windows Media versions of the files. They're in your ftp://ftp.ncsoft.com/CoH/Movies directory, but they're not linked properly on the site.

Indeed. I can see Hell On Earth now............if OB is today that is......please say it is. The suspense is killing me ahhhhhhhhh(head explodes)

I'm guessing one of those is something along the lines of Gang War..short term, uncontrolled summons..seeing as no other MM has 7 henches. Looks schweet tho

They soooo remind me of the beasts in the movie "Feast"
which is an amazing movie btw

I want the demon tails on my demonic villains!

Zombies get 7. After sacrificing 1.
Hmmmm.

Necro/Dark MM's get 7.5 pets: The three zombies, two Grave Knights, a Lich, plus one Ghost and the Dark Servant.
The difference being you can't quite control the Fluffy.

Edit: Just watched the vid. I think my ears are permanently stuck in the Cheshire Grin position. Holy CRAP.

We're talking about a Primary set here...Fluffy don't count.

I enjoy City of Heroes, as a new player (my main is only lvl 38); however, despite having pre-ordered GR (for the dual pistols), I'm not really all that excited about this power. I joined City of Heroes to get away from fantasy MMOs. But that hope was soon blasted when I began to see zombies, mages, elementals, and other fantasy creatures littered throughout the game. Not to mentioned the myriads of magic-themed dressed "super heroes". Now we'll have demon summoning characters running around everywhere too.

As a long time comic book reader, with a modest collection of my own, this type of stuff is normally uncommon in the comic book hero world. I'm not saying it never happens, but the ratio is low. Most comic book heroes are aliens, mutants, or simply naturally endowed in some way (good with guns, bows, batarangs, etc.) Sure, sometimes superheroes fight magical beasts, or undead, or whatever, but what I'm getting at is that its very uncommon.

All I am saying is that I hope in future expansions we see some more true blue super hero stuff added, rather than magical powers, magical monsters, etc. If I wanted fantasy powers or to fight fantasy monsters, I'd go play any number of the myriad fantasy MMOs, a few of which do already have demon summoning classes.

Otherwise, the class looks cool, and I'm sure many people will enjoy playing it. It's just not my idea of a good addition to a super hero themed MMO. I very much enjoy the dual pistols class (very Punisher like), and I am looking forward to the graphics update, which I believe will breath new life into the dated graphics.

I like the idea of the effects.

Hate the fact the Demons look like Sun Dried Cow Skulls with Red Bodies making them look like undead Cattle than Demons.

I like it -- sure maybe over did the lil skull things ...

But the animations look sweet and the flame whip is just cool!

Not looking forward to seeing cow skulls everywhere.

Some neat Ideas, but the demon things are quite a bit ovedone.

Love the whip effects.

I for one love the look and hey: demon cowboys.

The only thing this set needs: more demon cowbell.

WARNING: I bold names.
