Posted by Michael Bitton on Sep 15, 2009  | 11 comments in our forums

The update many of you have been waiting for, Issue 16: Power Spectrum, has been deployed to live servers today! This latest update brings a long, long requested feature to City of Heroes fans, namely, the ability to customize the color of ones powers. "Unarmed" melee users will also be able to customize their powers with entirely new alternate animations, and powersets like Spines will be able to choose from a variety of different spine textures such as metal or slate.

In addition to the power customization options, a number of new powersets have been proliferated with the release of Issue 16, the Mission Architect has seen some improvements, a mission difficulty slider has been added, and finally a new feature that allows for easier sidekicking entitled "Super Sidekicking" has been introduced.

The following powerset proliferation options are now available with the launch of Issue 16:

Archetype - Blasters

  • Radiation Blast

Archetype - Brutes

  • Claws

Archetype - Controllers

  • Cold Domination

Archetype - Corruptors
