Cryptic Studios has released more information about Issue 9: Breakthrough for City of Heroes/Villains. Among the highlights of this issue is the new invention system. Invention System (Heroes and Villains) Using the highly anticipated Invention system, players acquire and collect "loot" in the form of Salvage and Invention Recipes. These are used together to invent uber-enhancements, costume pieces, and more. This creates a world of new activities, rewards and character evolution! Auction Houses (Heroes and Villains) Where better to buy and sell all of these new items than in the new auction houses! Wentworth's Fine Consignments have sprung up throughout Paragon City™ while the villains prefer to do their bidding alongside "black-market" trucks placed throughout the Rogue Isles™. Read about all of the features here.

My 3 month pre-paid account just expired [been playing for about 15 months] and they'll probably still be hyping this 3 months from now. Less talk, more content. There's a lot to like about CoX, but it doesn't change the fact that there isn't much to do in the game except to blow stuff up. So now they've added grinding for invention drops. Woo-Hoo?

This was news back when I started playing again ... in December. There's no details there that weren't there a month and a half ago. Hell, there's more detail to be found in the Test Server reports and forums than in the linked newspost, and none of that is 'recent' either, being now several weeks old.

Hmm... there's nothing really more abnormal or unlike any of the prior issues with this one other than the extra close testing phase... but every time people seem to think it's just taking a little extra more time than the last for some reason... Although it's true that this new page on the COH site contains no previously unreveiled info... I don't think that the CoH team intended for that page to be news just by putting it up. Afterall at the time I'm writing this... that hasnt even made their own news page... It's a bit like that Conan game... why must we be told the news about 3 more screenshots that are going live every 5 days... it seems ridiculous. Website activity is not news... Anyways...

Well all sarcastic comments I could make aside, I think this is a "news" item because I9 hit the test server recently. Which could still mean weeks before we get it to live, but I'd rather wait and have it working than do what SOE does with EQ1 and rush out content and patch it afterwords.
