First view of Going Rogue
A thread on Champions Online on Massively had a link to a keynote speech at HeroCon where the City of Heroes/Villains Going Rogue expansion was presented (thanks to backlash for that link). The presentation talks a bit about what is in the Going Rogue expenasion:
- A number of new zones for Praetorian Earth, a parallel universe which is ruled by emperor Marcus Cole (the evil twin counterpart of Statesman in the regular City of Heroes).
- Heroes can become Vigilantes, gradually becoming more evil – if he/she chooses. A vigilante can visit the Rogue Isles and team with villains.
- Villains can become Rogues, gradually becoming more good – if he/she chooses. A rogue can visit Paragon City and team with heroes.
- New characters can start in Preatorian Earth as well and choose to align themselves with the Loyalists (villains) or the Rebels (heroes) – or somewhere in between, it seems.
- Travel back and forth between Preatorian Earth and Primal Earth (our Earth) is possible.
- Two new powersets, dual pistols and demon summoning
- Dual pistols is a blaster/corruptor/defender powerset, with selectable ammo choices – standard, cryo, incendiary and chemical.
- Demon summoning is a mastermind powerset, also includes flaming whip (!) as personal weapon for the player
- A couple of new enemy groups in Praetoria and a graphic refresh of a number of characters from Praetorian side.
- A new graphics setting – Ultra Mode
