City of Heroes Updates New Powers Coming
When Issue 21 releases, the update will bring new powers to City of Heroes. When Issue 21: Media Blitz releases, powers expanding the Alpha, Interface, Destiny and Judgement slots of Incarnate will be added.
The power expansions are meant to complement the Lore pets to provide more choices to players without supplanting any existing powers. The following are what are being added:
Judgement: a new Vorpal Judgement addition will give significant short-term defense boosts. It also does base damage and damage over time (DOT).
Destiny: Incandescence Destiny is a tool which allows players to teleport their fellows to wherever the player currently is. It has several options that can be set by default in order to keep it from becoming an annoyance to those who don’t want to be included and some additions that keep it from being an instant kill as well.
Interface: Two additions, Cognitive and Spectral, add binary effects that have a small chance of success, but when they do succeed, they can be something that immediately turns the tide of a battle.
Alpha: Several new additions, mostly boosts, go ito this category. Vigor, Agility, etc. boosts are all included.
Some great stuff is coming obviously. All of these additions were designed by Jeff “Arbiter Hawk” Hamilton, a COH player turned QA tester and now design developer.
