City of Villains News - Patron Power Q&A: General

Posted by Dana Massey on Apr 21, 2006  | 6 comments in our forums

We kick off a five part interview and screenshot series with Matt Miller, the Lead Designer of all things City of, today. The first Q&A looks at Patron Powers in general and will be followed by four more that take a close up look at the individual patrons: starting with Ghost Widow.

MMORPG.com: What exactly is a patron power?

Matt Miller: A Patron Power is a power in a power pool that is granted by one of the four lieutenants of Lord Recluse; Ghost Widow, Scirocco, Captain Mako, or Black Scorpion. They are themed power pools that tie directly in to the backstory and powers of the person who grants access to the pool.

MMORPG.com: Ok, so I’ve chosen my patron. How many different powers will I have access to?

Matt Miller: There are four powers in each pool, for each Archetype. You can choose from the first two right off the bat, but in order to get access to the third one you need one of the first two powers, and to have access to the last power in the pool, you need to have chosen two of the previous powers.
