I went through the game updates and noticed I23 is up, just without a graphic. The overview looks nice. Hybrid, here we come .

Link?

Either it was an error on their part or they might have announced it tomorrow or later in the week. I thought there would be a few posts ranting about it by now, guess I peeked.

30-35 zone? ...huh. That's kind of oddly specific.

And a new portal system, neat!

New Incarnate Powers: Level 50 VIP players can now unlock the Hybrid Incarnate Tree, which grants them new powers based on the core Archetypes in City of Heroes®. You can choose a style that shores up a weakness, or one that further strengthens existing abilities. The Assault Tree increases your damage, the Control Tree raises your ability to lock down foes, the Melee Tree increases your defense and status protection, and the Support Tree grants bonuses to you and your teammates.
This looks interesting.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

I was hoping there would eventually be another PVP or new kind of PVP where those that attack get flagged and can't leave the zone (through any mean) for a certain time. No drones or any protected areas (turrets) (a true PVP spot) and the hospitals only have a one way portal that ports to random spots on the map (or exit if you are not flagged).

After a quick moment of feeling a little sorry for those involved, I actually laughed out loud at your suggestion.

Well, well, they are bringing him back. And I bet that his "army of beasts" uses the new four legged rig and aren't the old werewolves.

Connecting it to first Ward is interesting. It seems like they want to give people a complete alternative 20-35 that is connected directly to a pretty under used zone(first ward).

I wonder if this will be good enough to be active zones for more than one run through.

Long Range Teleport *needs* to be looked at in light of this. The power should permit you to port to pretty much ANY zone you have access to, including your SG base if you have one.



On the flip side: three new costume sets which, depending upon how they tint, I anticipate getting a good bit of wear on some of my characters. (one is tier 9. and may that leather armor set PLEASE include a quiver finally!)

Edit: from what I read, not much in particular for Premiums or F2Ps other than the QoL. I'm assuming Night Ward content (the arcs at least) will be a premium purchase for non-VIPs.

Edit 2: Shouldn't the issue be called "Where Shadows Dwell" vs. "Where Shadows Lie"?

That is definitely worth at least one run through.

Also kind of curious, it notes it'll be the start of the 2nd volume of the signature story arcs. I guess they've decided to change up the timing on them? Originally it was said there'd be maybe a month gap between the end of Episode 7 volume 1 and the start of Episode 1 volume 2. I dunno if I can really see this issue hitting in May, especially with no beta up atm.

Reading that overview made me very happy. Where did it make me happy? I cannot tell you.

Also on Steam

Sounds a tad light on content for a full issue. Hope it's not too terribly long of a wait.

That remains correct. i23 isn't going Live yet. It hasn't even entered Beta yet. That information is premature and that page was oddly fleshed out and put up Live on the internets.

Well that certainly looks promising. I'm interested in how that mecha armor looks.

Actually connecting stuff via the new teleporters seems more likely to bring a lil more activity into First Ward. But then, with it's lack of several amenities and low level range, I still don't see it being much of a hub until they give people more to do in Praetoria.



Also, no mention of the Praetorian Hamidon. Though they say 'climax' and not 'conclusion' too.

Doubtful.

Any new zone that doesn't extend to level 50 shows inactivity issues. IMO, any zone that doesn't go to 50 is a huge waste of time for the amount the content will actually get played.

Only one incarnate slot? Disappointing.

But improving your control powers sounds amazing and something I've wanted for a while. We'll see how it works and if its any good.

and I'm sure my melees will love the MOAR damage route.
