CoH March Producer's letter addresses I20, Global Server Lists, and more
After a great run at PAX East, the team at Paragon Studios is back at the office and working hard on the next update coming to City of Heroes. According to the March Producer's Letter by Nate "Second Measure" Birkholz, players can expect Issue 20, which will bring in the new Incarnate powers for players, to go live next week. Along with this announcement is the news that a respec will be available with the launch of I20, as well as another one later in April when the Anniversary celebrations get underway -- so you'll have a chance to tinker further with your new builds! That said, the bulk of the March update is spent offering some thoughts from the Paragon Studios team in regard to the upcoming Global Server List changes. As Birkholz notes, the studio "know(s) that your online and in-game identities are important. City of Heroes is at its heart a game about who you are, not just what you do." So if you have some trepidation about the way changes are coming then you'll definitely want to check out Birkholz' letter for more insights on what they might mean for you. Also, don't forget to leave your feedback on the connected forum thread.
Time for City of Heroes players to get ready for Issue 18
Are you ready for Issue 18 of City of Heroes? There are only a few days left to get oneself ready for all of the updates coming just to the basic game, even without counting the fact that it coincides with the launch of Going Rogue. But just in case you're not quite ready, the team at Paragon Studios is going to help get you ready by allowing players to pre-download the patch before next Tuesday. Even beyond that, players are being given the option to move characters, redo their costumes, or even change that most sacred identifier -- the global chat handle. All players with an active account at the beginning of next week will receive a free costume change token and respec token for all characters on the account. Players will also have the option to change their global chat handles, which are normally locked after the first change. On top of all that, the no-charge server transfers from earlier in the year will be back for the first week of Going Rogue's release, allowing City of Heroes players a chance to put everything in order to optimize their play experience. So if you're not ready now... it's time to get ready.
