Issue 16 Open Beta on Test

Issue 16: Power Spectrum has entered open beta on the US Test Server today.

Update - European access to the Issue 16 beta was introduced to the EU Test Server on August 28! However, this may only be temporary, so make the most of it!

The Open Beta Release Notes are available on the official City of Heroes website.

Discussion regarding the open beta can be found on the forums.

Issue 16 Closed Beta

Issue 16: Power Spectrum goes into Closed Beta today!

The login servers are being adjusted for the first time ever to not allow access to the character creator for game accounts that are not invited to closed beta testing. This means that only invitees get to see the Power Customization and Power Set Proliferation available in Issue 16.

If you are not in closed beta and find any bugs, be sure to post to the North American Training Room Forum or the European Training Room Forum on the Official Forums and let the devs know!

If you are in closed beta and find bugs, use the closed beta forums to report them, not the Training Room forums!

Issue 16: Power Spectrum Announced

Paragon Studios is proud to announce Issue 16: Power Spectrum which contains one of players' most highly requested features - the ability to color customize powers! With the new Powers Customization system you can choose from a virtual rainbow of colors in order to change the appearance of your power effects.

But that's not all Issue 16 has to offer! This content update will also continue Power Set Proliferation as well as adding Enhanced Difficulty Options, and a secret something more, according to whispers from Comic-Con.
