As of 10 PM CST, October 12, heroes and villains alike will have the chance to get a sneak peek at the goodies the latest update to City of Heroes has to offer. That's right, Issue 8: To Protect and Serve hits the Test Server. Unfortunately, Veteran's Rewards are NOT part of the testing at this time. I believe they wish to dangle the carrot a couple more weeks first, leaking more tidbits of information before letting us play.
A few of the Improvements and Additions coming in this Update:
- Rikti Monkey Fight Club: Due to a combination of the Family cutting in to the RMFC profits in Sharkhead, and an offer from DJ Zero to expand their enterprise, Joe Young and Cornelius have moved their "entertainment concern" on up to the Pocket D. They have set up a new "Lounge" on the hero side of the club. “It’s a lot classier than the old place”, says Joe Young.
- Alternate flying poses. Fly and Hover (and temporary powers that duplicate their effects) have new poses. Your character will transition into an alternate pose after flying forward for a few seconds. Also implemented a banking animation for flying forward while strafing left or right.
- New Costume Pieces: ALL
- Bunny Ears, Cat Ears, Floppy Ears
- Government Glasses, Raised Blast Goggles
- New Costume Pieces: FEMALE
- Assassin, Angelic, Savage (Tops & Bottoms w/Skin)
- Faultline upgraded to City Zone w/Addition of Overbrook Dam as a Hazard Zone, Mission Contacts, Stores, a new Trainer (Mirror Spirit) and an entrance to Pocket D.
- Addition of Police band Missions: Heroes talk to PPD Contacts within the various Zones to obtain a Police band radio that will alert them of Crimes in Progress when consulted.
- Safeguard Missions consist of Halting a Bank Robbery as quickly as possible, as well as several goals and multiple side missions.
- Tired of waiting for Rare Monsters to spawn to obtain those rarer badges? Kraken - Perez Park
Babbage - Boomtown
Jack in Irons (non-scripted, individual) - Croatoa
Eochai (non-scripted, individual) - Croatoa
Adamastor - Dark Astoria
Jurassik - Crey's Folly
Have ALL had their spawn frequency increased.
- Dominator's will now build Domination 50% faster (went from base 2 points to base 3 gained). They will also gain Domination 16% faster per person on their Team.
That's just a portion of the goodies awaiting us at 10 PM CST. For a full list of changes and additions, HERE are the Official Notes.
