City of Heroes Going Rogue Expansion
« on: May 12, 2009, 04:42:14 AM »
Did anyone else get an email from NCSoft about this? I tried looking for info on their site and the links they provided weren't working.

Don't be surprised if this isn't true... might wanna verify it via the official forums.

It's not a joke. I can't say more about it now, though. Stay tuned for more info!

Well, some time ago I received an invite for a survey for COH where they asked questions directly relating to this. This was before the Architect issue. Some of the questions asked what the Architect issue should be named and what our opinions about heroes/ villains being able to switch sides.

I wonder how this will play out. I'm interested in knowing if it's a stand-alone or if it will be like COV, where you don't need a second account and can play with your current global friends...

I checked the forums but didn't see anything about it.  :-\

Some teases I'm seeing:

- New Engine - Improved Architecture on Statesman's viewing screen & Epic-looking armor
- Power Customization - The fireball changing color
- Dual Pistols - The guy only pulls one, but he has holsters on both sides

The first thing I expected to see after watching the trailer was a flood of new posts on the boards saying "OMG!  Pistols!"

Yea, I'm seeing new powersets for sure, but the fireball changing color... I think that's just a metaphor for her changing from red to blue, respectively CoV -> CoH. I seriously doubt there going to let us change the color of elemental powers... green fire won't make any sense, regardless of how cool it looks.

I definitely see a (possible) huge engine overhaul, I mean the engine has some major tweaks in the release of COV, so I wouldn't be too surprised if this release brings out a whole new reason to love CoH on graphics alone.

Not to mention I REALLY follow all the storylines in game and seeing them bring Preatorians back into the mix is just exciting. (Tyrant at the end of the trailer)

Why wouldn't green fire make sense?  You do realize flames can be any number of colors, naturally, right?

If they upgrade the engine, we're getting power customization. That's always been the excuse.

IMO, it doesn't have to look like fire for it to be classified Fire Damage.

Wouldn't make sense because both Hero side heals and Rad already have a shade of green... it wouldn't make sense to the game, not to the natural ability of it.

I can see your point and that would be quite awesome if it were to happen. Though they've promised boatloads and have yet to deliver so I've trained myself not to get my hopes up until I can visually see the content.

I can only hope for the best from the release... heh maybe they'll finally add some custom UI support too while they're at it.

Here was me looking at that at thinking it was a ball of electricty.

Red/blue electricty is already there and makes an obvious metaphor for the side switching.

Either way, I'm very excited

I want those red Force Field bubbles we had for all of about a week back in CoV beta.  :)

I think it's important to note that Maelstrom is a hero gone rogue. That would most likely make him a Blaster. Dual Pistols for Blasters!!!

This might actually make me come back to the game.

Would be great if I could get all the badges on one character - :P

I want my electric blaster to be become the electric brute - :)

Exciting, however, does not sound like a straight up Villain to Hero (or vice-versa) transition.

It seems to be a fate system that's only effected in the Praetorian world, which will probably be like a whole 'nother game. I'm looking forward to it regardless of how they spin it. lol
