CoH and CoV's Issue 9: Breakthrough |
Ó
For the MMORPG genre, it feels like this is the season of releases and expansions. We don't have to remind you how big The Burning Crusade got just after its first day on the market. Then there's Sigil Games' Vanguard: Saga of Heroes before the end of this month. And what do you know, NCSoft just joined in the fun by releasing the ninth (9th) expansion for twin titles City of Heroes and City of Villains.
Expansions for this MMO are quite different from other games. Instead of full sets, NCSoft comes up with releases every now and then known as Issues. These, then, determine the focus of the game for that expansion. Issue 9 is known as breakthrough and it wouldn't be called that for nothing.
In a nutshell, Issue 9 deals mostly about in-game content. Here, players can acquire and create new items and then sell them to other players. New auction houses were put up to make the lives of players a bit easier. Anyway, here are the different features of Issue 9 for CoH and CoV:
- Invention System (Heroes and Villains): Using the Invention system, players acquire and collect valuable resources in the form of Salvage and Invention Recipes. These will be used together to invent powerful new enhancements, costume pieces, new powers, gadgets, and more. This creates a world of new possibilities, rewards and even greater character evolution!
- Auction Houses (Heroes and Villains): Where better to buy and sell all of these new items than in the new auction houses! Wentworth's Fine Consignments have sprung up throughout Paragon City while the villains prefer to do their dark dealings alongside "black-market" trucks placed throughout the Rogue Isles.
- Statesman's Task Force (Heroes only): This high-level PvE content allows eight heroes to team up in order to face and defeat Paragon's greatest enemies! Completing this difficult challenge results in some of the game's rarest rewards!
- New Hamidon Encounter (Heroes and Villains): Not only do villains get their own end-game raid encounter with the "Hamidon," but the new experience is also brought to the Heroes side where players must use new tactics to bring down one of the city's greatest threats.
