City of Heroes announces Issue 16: Power Spectrum


Just recently the newly renamed Paragon Studios announced the next upcoming expansion in their not-quite-as-popular-as-WoW game, City of Heroes. In this 16th expansion titled "Power Spectrum" players have finally gotten the biggest thing they've been asking for since day one: custom coloring of powersets. Now heroes and villains alike can have blue fire, purple ice or even neon pink radiation.

In addition to the aforementioned addition the game is also getting a few more tweeks. The previously added "Power Proliferation" gets expanded to allow such things as Brutes with claws (glee!), Blasters with radiation and more.

The last main additions are overhauls to the game difficulty slider and character creator screen. While the latter will have to be seen to be fully understood as to how it will work, the difficulty slider now can be set to make mobs based on how many of you there are and what level you want them to be. Essentially you can now see how well you can solo a map made for eight players with bad guys five levels higher than you. Fun times. Expect the issue to drop within the next couple months.
