You've heard bits and pieces of exciting things to come, but now it's time to see the big picture! Issue 18: Shades of Gray is on the way and will not only re-introduce a new modified version of the Cathedral of Pain Trial, but will add the Tips System, new costumes, emotes, and badges, a unified auction house, trading across alignments and Mission Architect improvements! Check out the details by visiting the Official Issue 18 Overview Page and get ready for this next free super-heroic content update!

I love new issues!! Can't wait to see more info on everything!!

Oooooh! So that's what Tip mission are!

Never let it be said the devs never listen to their players. How often did people request to see story arcs you get from street-sweeping? I swear there was a thread for it every couple of months.

Not trying to start a poop storm or anything, but I'm curious about the "possibility to change your destiny". Does that mean that running tip missions will allow me to change alignment via the new tip mission system without purchasing the upcoming expansion?

I think I just gave birth to a horse!

The CoP Trial was previously attach to Base Raids, is that still the case?

Curious to see how difficult the CoP trial will turn out to be. Nice to see it making it's way back into the game. It didn't mention anything about base raiding. Is that feature returning as well? What about Items of Power?

They said an altered version of the CoP trial. I don't think it will have anything to do with base raids. More likely a Co-Op Trial. Maybe the whole zone will become Co-Op?

Im wondering - do you get tips from just defeating foes from street sweeping or will foes in misisons drop them as well??

Is it Rularuu or Ruularu?

Posting this on PWiki, and all of our links are Rularuu

CoP...



Brav-O

BRAV-O

i commend you all devs.

Infact i shall give you this.

I like the sound of the new Cathedral of Pain Trial. Rare badge? Maybe a "Master of CoP" badge? Getting 24 toons through the trial with no deaths could be a rare feat indeed.

Oh wow. I was so sure issue eighteen was going to be called Smoke and Mirrors. Double meaning and all that.

Regardless, this looks fantastic. Looking forward to trying out everything.

For those of you who are wondering about the former PvP aspect of the Cathedral of Pain, Ghost Falcon has just posted something that would be of interest to you in the PvP forums.

Well, I guess this answers my question...

Previously the Cathedral of Pain was used to acquire Items of Power which were instrumental in Base Raiding. The initial implementation of the CoP was exploitable and ultimately removed. We have always wanted to revisit the CoP and return it to something players could participate in, and with Issue 18 we will be doing just that. The new implementation of the Cathedral of Pain gives the choice of a number of rewards to players, but it does not contain Items of Power. Base Raiding is currently on hold and not being actively worked on. We understand that this may disappoint some of you in the PvP community, but we wanted to tell it to you straight to minimize any confusion or false hope that Base Raiding would be addressed in this new iteration of the Cathedral of Pain. Thanks, Ghost Falcon
