City Of Heroes Launches Issue 13: Power And Responsibility

12:20AM Mike Fahey | City of Heroes introduces new ways to build up your superhero persona as NCsoft launches their latest free update, Issue 13: Power and Responsibility. Issue 13 might as well be called the casual gamer’s issue, as it introduces two new ways to advance your character without actually playing the game. First we have the day job system, which allows players who log out in specific areas to accumulate rewards and badges based on the job they are supposedly performing while offline. On top of that, they’ve introduced the Pact Leveling system, in which two players under level five may form a pact, which keeps they at the same experience level no matter how long they play, perfect for folks like me who only get a chance to log in every couple of months. I’m probably most excited about the multiple builds feature, which lets players two different power sets on the same character. It’s a lovely addition from a gameplay standpoint, and absolutely wonderful for the roleplayer wanting to play out his own Cosmic Spidey storyline.
