City of Heroes 'Going Rogue' Expansion Announced

9
The second expansion to City of Heroes, "Going Rogue," was announced today by developer NCsoft.

The update will add the world of "Praetoria," a parallel universe where players can switch the alignment of their characters. As players complete "clearly marked missions," a new alignment system will track a hero or villain's morality, which will eventually change the character's moral status.

"For years, players could choose between playing as a hero or a villain," said Paragon Studios general manager Brian Clayton. "Now we will present a third, malleable path where players can be affected by the results of their actions, enabling them to further develop, unveil new perspectives, and overcome new challenges."

    Kinda tempting. I really like all the characters I developed in CoH/CoV and I know it would be fun to revisit them, especially with the chance to take a few of them over to the opposite "side".

    But every time I think about getting back into CoH/CoV I remember my oh-so-carefully tuned enhancement slotting and how it is sure to be out of whack by now, with all the changes that they've made to powers and enhancements. I don't want to re-learn how to slot effectively for my playstyle, but if I didn't it would bug me.

    So in the end I never re-sub. :-)
