  • State of the Game Address

    The official site for City of Heroes has been updated with a look at the state of the game after three years.

    Three years. For some on the Development Team, the amount of change over that time has evolved the game to bear only a slight resemblance to its original form. In just the past 12 months we’ve published three major updates: Issues 7, 8, and now 9 (coming very soon).

    More is a click away.

  • "Inventing Wings"

    With the City of Heroes/City of Villains Issue 9 update coming to your superhero game client soon, the folks at NCsoft have released a developer diary featuring the thoughts of Character Artist Jay Doherty. In the diary, he talks about the design process and the tremendous offering of new inventions available in the coming update. Read on!

    Hey, I'm Jay Doherty, and I am a character artist for City of Heroes. One of my specialties is inventing wings for City of Heroes and Villains, and I am here to tell you how it all goes down.

    With each new content update that has come out over the recent years, I always saw players making their own threads on costume pieces what they wanted, so I decided to start a thread on the City of Heroes several months back asking players what they most wanted.

  • Ask the Devs

    WarCry has updated their City of Heroes page with a new question and answer with Serdar "Lord Recluse" Copur.

    GreenLantern: Hi, Serdar! I spend most of my time in Paragon City, but I have a few characters in the Rogue Isles. A common complaint is that the CoV characters don't feel "evil" enough in their missions. What are your thoughts on that?

    Serdar Copur: This is a concern that gets a lot of attention internally. We put a great deal of value on immersion. We also have to keep in mind the difference between real evil and comic book evil.

  • Knives of Artemis Villain Backgrounder

    Here's another update from the City of Heroes official site today. A look at the Knives of Artemis.

    Like a diamond-bladed sword, the Knives of Artemis are incomparably beautiful and deadly. Bewitching tales of the Knives of Artemis are told by military pundits and war journalists in awed tones around the world. Heroes speak of them with equal parts enthrallment and dread, because they are renowned for their charms as much as for their mercilessness.

  • Issue 9 "Breakthrough" Preview

    KillerBetties weighs in with their thoughts on the upcoming Issue 9 for City of Heroes!

    In order to use the invention system you'll need both salvage and influence. Salvage you get from beating down enemies and it comes in one of three variations: Common, Uncommon, and Rare. Obviously, Common will drop the most and be your default salvage, with Uncommon showing up a little less frequently under all that, and Rare being the ultimate salvage since it will be the hardest of all to find

    FiringSquad has posted their impressions of the upcoming Issue 9 for the City of Heroes / City of Villains game.

    In addition to the invention feature, Issue 9 will also contain the games' version of an auction house where players will be able to buy and sell items to other players.
