In the meantime, we are very excited about Issue 20 launching next week! The Incarnate System has been a long time in development, and we know it brings some new depth to your long-established characters. In the interest of helping you set up your characters right to take advantage of the Incarnate powers--and tune a build for the Incarnate Trials--we will be offering a free respec with the issue launch. We will also be giving you a free repsec with the Anniversary celebrations at the end of April, as well, so no need to hoard it, either!

Seems like it's been long-since ready, so that's not a huge surprise, though I sorta expected them to sit on it a little while longer. Time to grind, grind, grind, grind, and grind some more!

...so when's i21?

It's usually about a 3-4 month span between issues so an April release doesn't come as a huge surprise. However, it's still exciting to actually have concrete information now.

Soon-ish - we've already seen stuff from the Anti-Matter Trial and the Hamidon Trial from PAX East, but they've not said yet if both Trials will be in I21 or not - the hamidon one could still be I22.

Maybe the Hecatomb will be back when the servers come back up.

Fingers crossed for you.

Makes sense. I'm out of town all of next week and won't be able to play.

And it's already April 1st in some parts of the world.

They've done elaborate stuff like this as a "haha, April Fools" thing before.

At the moment I'm not going to believe it.

Why wouldn't they release it when it's ready to be released?
While I'm pretty sure they do something most years, I only remember two April Fool's jokes offhand, but neither was "we're releasing a new issue that we've said we were going to release for a while now, on a date that makes perfect sense, lolnotreally"

"We loved the suggestion to let people reactivate old accounts to reduce the number of shared names between regions. We’ll definitely make that happen for you shortly before we change over to the Global Server List."

Free respec as well (typo: you have it repsec! hurry before the kids get home!). I'd be more game for a free character rename per server.

Good news all around!


Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...

I'm usually the type of person who prefers to "believe it when I see it" whether it's April 1st or not.

But while it's always possible our Devs could come up with all sorts of April Fools jokes I doubt very seriously that they would ever choose to "joke" about the timing of the release of their next Issue. Releasing new content is vital to the future of the MMO from a business/profits point of view. Put it this way: Would you "joke" around with your livelihood?

People will soon get the hang of the Trials - that kind of info spread quickly through the player base

1. Hit the League Queue button.

2. Wait

While there will be SOME teams that form before and then enter the Trail queue, on live there should be enough people in the general queue to form trails.
