Issues after GR

Well atm we are getting 2 issues at once, 1 if your purchase GR and 1 if you don't purchase, will this be the same for all future issues? or will it be the case that if you don't purchase GR there is not gonna be much in future issues for you?

To me it seems they have created at lot of extra hardwork defining what some should have and some not, even down to coding lvl in implementing.

the things you will likely get in future issues are new powers and costume in the issues (probably not the ones that come with GR) as well as game wide changes such as the trial of pain mission or new mission types upgrades to auction houses reward systems. The things that you probably won't get arearea spesific changes such as if a new Task force type mission in Preatoria or if they have missions on the Hero or villain side that require a trip to preatoria, but I think its wortyh the $29.99 to be able to experience every thing and you know this is the first expansion in 5 years and the last one CoV was technically not an expansion but a whole stand alone game on its own so CoH has done a much better job on the expansion thing then other games like WoW that make you pay for new content every 2 years.

Like RedSwitchblade implied I don't see any reason why whether you have Going Rogue or not won't work pretty much the same way things went when CoV was introduced.

There was a period of about a year or so after CoV when the game code cared whether you were a CoH only player, a CoV only player or if you had access to both. We had 2 or 3 Issues come and go with that "split" game situation. Then eventually the game merged together so that everyone had access to both CoH and CoV.

It's fairly safe to assume that within like 12-18 months the game will merge back again and everyone will have access to the Going Rogue content for free.

For the most part, as others have mentioned, you'll see some content that is available to those who haven't purchased GR. But for the near future, the majority of content will be accessed if you have GR.

The first, and long ranged, item is the Incarnate System. The full system will be introduced in I19. To use that system, you will need Going Rogue.

The other thing is that the newest CoX retail box (at least in the US) is going to have GR as part of the purchase. So, for the most part, any new players coming in to CoX are not going to worry about if they can access new Issue content or not.

Now, beyond I19, we really have no clue what is going to happen. But If you are concerned, you'll probably want to break down and spend the money to get Going Rogue.

Thank you for the time...

For the Incarnate content, morality missions and any additions to Praetoria, you'll need to have purchased Going Rogue to access them.

But other than that, I'm expecting plenty of other content for those who don't buy GR. There will probably be new regular missions added to the CoH and CoV sides of the game. They're still working on the "Coming Storm" story and that will most likely be open to everyone. They could update Cimerora or other existing zones. They could open up a new zone for everyone to access (maybe we'll go into the future for that one instead of the past).

So don't worry. If you don't buy GR, there will still be plenty to do in the future Issues.

Hmmm... Bringing up Issue 19 and the need to have purchased GR does make me pause and wonder if this means that Incarnate will technically be like Issue 1 for City of Heroes and Issue Seven (Destiny Manifest) for Villains in that this will be something that might add a new zone to praetoria, higher levels of content, etc. etc.

From here:

So the coming storm is linked to cimerora damn, was kinda hoping was rularuu thing, what with CoP being re-intoduced would have been nice to tie it in with the Coming Storm.

How about a Incarnate Rularru from cimerora?
