Overview

Eden is a Trial zone in CoH. Prior to Issue 16, a hero needed to be at least Security Level 33 to enter.

Once, Eden was a beautiful suburb of Paragon City called Woodvale. It was the prime location for families to set up residence. There were many parks and it had easy paths for drives into the country. This proved to be its undoing.

Offended by the encroaching urban sprawl, the Devouring Earth launched a massive assault on Woodvale. The creatures destroyed many of the buildings and other man-made objects. The rest they buried or left in ruin, driving all the previous inhabitants into the city proper.

Now, Eden is a sprawling wilderness, with nature slowly taking over completely. If the spread of the forces of the Devouring Earth is not stopped, it could soon begin to swallow other parts of the city.

You are now in 'Eden', an incredibly ironic moniker considering this place is anything but. It's not for lack of effort on the part of the Devouring Earth, however. This is a face plant waiting to happen if you're not well prepared and surrounded by trusted Heroes. The enemies that you face here are far more difficult and group in much larger packs than you've probably experienced before. It's pretty ironic, since there is nearly nothing idyllic about it..
See my report for more information. It should give you an idea what to expect:
