News headlines

Issue 15 Open Beta on Test

Issue 15 entered open beta testing on the Test Server today. The update features a new Task Force for heroes, a new Strike Force for villains, new costume pieces, Mission Architect updates, and several other changes.

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

Discussion regarding today's test update can be found on the official forums.

Go. Hunt. Kill bugs.

AE Badge Changes

Synapse posted[1] about some very large changes to the Architect Entertainment Badges coming up with Issue 15. Almost 90 badges will be removed, including the Hall of Fame and Dev's Choice badges, due to the developers' desire for Mission Architect to be about playing Story Arcs rather than grinding for badges.

Only 24 badges will remain, and characters who had already earned these badges will not have to re-earn them. Requirements for Mission Engineer Badge will be altered due to this; it is unknown if not having one of the new requirements will affect this badge if a character already has it.

City of Heroes Going Rogue

An exciting bit of news was leaked today about City of Heroes Going Rogue. What is "Going Rogue" you might ask? Well, after confirmation by Castle, the City of Heroes universe is growing bigger: "Going Rogue" opens up the new world of Praetoria...that's right, the very same Praetoria where Tyrant and company live!

Since it seems this mysterious email was sent out a little bit too early, we don't have much information about this development yet. Keep an eye on the article and the Official Going Rogue site for updates!
