City of Heroes: Player Summit Details & Issue 21 Special Update
Oct 20th
The City of Heroes site is featuring a pair of new blog posts. One deals with the upcoming Player Summit to be held in Palo Alto, California in November. The other post deals with Issue 21 and some good news for VIP PvPers.
The annual Player Summit will be held in Palo Alto on November 19th and, while details are sketchy at the moment, we do know that players will have the opportunity to meet members of the Paragon Studios team as well as participate in discussion panels about CoH. In addition, attendees will receive nifty codes that will unlock in-game items.
Issue 21 is being called " Special Edition: Media Blitz". Again, details are a bit sketchy, but the team did indicate that the second half of Media Blitz will give VIP players a chance to try out the new Incarnate Trial: the TPN Campus. A second incarnate trial will also be included in Issue 21 but no further details were released. Lastly, players will be able to unlock brand new abilities for Alpha, Destiny, Interface and Judgment Incarnate slots.
