New York Post Interviews CoH Lead Designer
The New York Post recently snagged an interview with Lead Designer on City of Heroes, Melissa Bianco. They discuss the upcoming Issue 19: Alpha Strike, the new visual direction of the game, and a brief discussion of the "coming storm". Head on over and check out what they had to say!
These will provide opportunities and major challenges for our elite-level players. We could have just added another 10 levels and a new zone and called it a day, but we didn’t think that was particularly heroic or, well, epic to be honest.

Guess i was out of touch with the game longer then i tought .
I didn´t even know Backstreet Brawler (Christopher Bruce) left . he alone made tons of QoL decissions that kept players hooked .
Shame to lose such community person .
But i guess no reply to the news means , less and less people interested in City of Heroes .
Anyway as for the incarnate system , time shall tell if there way is more sucessfull or just slapping 10 more levels (a garantee way of success) wasn´t beter .
well they are doing what they have been doing...they are making a differing system then what is out there and trying it out....they really are trying to not raise the level cap.
Seams alot of other games copy this one so if this system works then we all know what games will be doing the same thing.
By the way....i just saw this article so thats why i didnt respond
As far as I can tell, there are MANY more players than there were a year ago when I left the game for a break. Any given night of the week most servers are at med load while champion and virtue? are at high load from 7pm eastern on through the night. Finding teams has been much easier lately and the caliber of the teams you get on has been pretty good too. I have played this game on and off since it came out and it's only gotten better. I look forward to the Incarnate system but I am still enjoying all the new things I've missed. Being able to customize your powers colors may seem like a small thing.... but it has added greatly to my enjoyment of the gameplay.
A good taste of what's coming up - I really need to upgrade my comp, it has a hard time with ultra mode.
I was sad/shocked when I heard that BaBs (Christopher Bruce) had left - I always enjoyed interacting with him on the forums. Hopefully he transitioned over to a better paying position somewhere else.
