Matt "Positron" Miller interviewed
Ever since I heard about the new content coming to City of Heroes/City of Villians with A Stitch in Time, I have been positively drooling for more details. Recently Matt "Positron" Miller, the lead designer for the games, sat down to give us some details on what we can expect.
To put it simply: time travel. Players will be able to participate in Oroboros Missions, helping to fight against a currently unknwon meddler in the space-time continuum. With the help of the Menders of the Oroboros, heroes and villans alike will participate in keeping time the way it should be.
There are several types of time travel missions comes with Issue eleven, the first of which he calls the historic missions. In these we'll be able to go back to times in the last century for instance. The second type of mission will allow players to go back to moments in their own past by visiting "the Pillar of Ice and Flame." In these missions players will be able to set the parameters for the difficulty of the missions, for how long they will be, how many times you can die, etc. If you weren't excited to see Issue 11 before, you should immediately go back in time and change your mind on the subject. This is going to be awesome.
