Feel the power!

27 Jul, 2005

The next major update for City of Heroes, Issue #5: Forest of Dread adds no fewer than four completely new Power Sets to the game, expanding the options available when creating characters of the Blaster, Defender and Controller Archetypes. Heroes can now become master archers with two Power Sets based on bows, or harness the power and energy of focussed sound waves with two Sets based on Sonics.

You can learn all about these new Power Sets in the lastest addition to our Feature Updates section - just click here to see what will be on offer.

And, if you can’t wait until Issue #5 is released to give these new powers a whirl, you can try them out on the European Training Room (Test Server) right now, where an early version is currently being put through its paces. For information on setting up and accessing the Test Server, see the instructions on the Official Message Boards. You can read what other players think - and give us your own opinion - on The Training Room board.

Very good propeganda, but a little economical on the truth. Where is the info on all the nerfs that will happen, how all Alts will change, on how some alts will change fundamentally. Only the good news for release ? Is this the ‘VISION’ ?

The new powesets are great fun.  Still being tweaked, but good fun nonetheless.

The new zone is very nice.  Atmospheric, with lots of dynamic content: ongoing fights, enemies building mystical sites etc.

Whether or not we will find this great new content as enjoyable with the radical alterations being proposed to our characters (controllers and tankers in particular) remains to be seen.  Bear in mind, the revisions are still being tested, and ARE open to further adjustment.

Let’s see what makes it to live before comepletely condemning the game.
