City Of Heroes Issue 9
Issue 9: Breakthrough is the 9th free expansion for the City of Heroes and City of Villains games.The expansion adds a lot to both sides of the game - the most interesting parts being the Invention System, which for the first time allows both Heroes and Villains to create new enhancements, powers, gadgets, and even costume pieces, offering several new character customisation options - don’t like your costume? Now’s your chance to fix it!Now that recipes and invention are implemented, characters need somewhere to trade their wares. Heroes can sell their items at ‘Wentworth’s Fine Consignments’ auction houses - which are appearing all around Paragon City. You wouldn’t spot a Villain at such an establishment though - they prefer to find some of the ‘black market’ trucks in Rogue Isles to fence their gear.
It isn’t all crafting and trading in this expansion though - there are new Task Force encounters for groups of up to eight high level heroes to take part in. The task force encounters are very challenging, but offer some very rare and valuable rewards for those who are successful. There is also a new end-game raid for each side. Villains get an encounter with the Hamidon, and there is a new challenge for Heroes too, as they are tasked with taking the Hamidon down, and defeating one of the greatest threats to the city.
