The clothing makes the alt

Robot arms, monster legs, helmets, wings, ears, antennae and whiskers, all swaddled in tuxedo jackets paired with boxing shorts, stiletto heels and barbed-wire wrapped waists. And that's all on one character. Ah, the joys and perils of the City of Heroes/City of Villains costume creator. As Alec Meer notes, "The character editor, especially in the expanded form it takes these days, offers a vast array of possibilities." The important thing to remember is to be ... judicious ... in your development. Feel free to create eye-searing combinations, but don't be afraid to be subtle, either. Just let your vision take flight, and don't focus on trying to re-create extant heroes.

CoX Issue 12 to enter closed beta

by Jonathan Northwood Apr 4th 2008 at 10:45PM

Filed under: Betas, City of Heroes, City of Villains

Starting next week, NCsoft's City of Heroes and City of Villains will be entering closed beta for Issue 12:Midnight Hour. This does mean that the Test Server will be unavailable for standard use; however, if you're interested in testing out the new Character Creator, the server will allow you to log in and try out the application. Unfortunately, unless you're part of the closed beta, you won't be able to play with the character you create. One other item of note: the Real Numbers feature is being disabled in character creator for the closed beta, as they're still working on refining the new powers. Still, this should give you a feel for the application, and for how it may look during both open beta and the final release. And, as usual, if you have any questions, concerns, or issues to be raised, please feel free to bring them up in the official forums.

New character creator for CoX Issue 12

by Jonathan Northwood Mar 31st 2008 at 6:30PM

Filed under: City of Heroes, City of Villains, Expansions

As more news comes in about NCsoft's latest free expansion to the CoX universe -- Issue 12: "Midnight Hour" -- we're getting more and more excited. The latest tidbit to come down the pipeline is that the Character Creator will gain expanded functionality tied to the Real Numbers system, allowing players to see not only the numbers behind their chosen powers at creation, but how those numbers will scale up as the character progresses in level. As well, it's going to feature costume set drop-downs instead of forcing players to choose from individual lists of Hats, Gloves, Boots, and Upper/Lower Body selections. For full details on how these changes will affect character creation, check out Lighthouse's Feature Update on the official forums, and feel free to register any questions or concerns.
