City of Heroes Issue 8 Mini Strategy Guide

[Ventura_DK]

NCsoft has released a "mini guide", which takes a closer look at the new safeguard missions in the upcoming Issue 8 expansion. You can read the guide here (http://rpg.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=12812).

Those super-bank robbers look cute :)

This sounds really fun. I wonder if they'll follow the same path as they've been following thus far and make this really rich content difficult to get (require that you do 5 "newspaper" missions to unlock them).

Btw, have they fixed "kidnap" missions so that they aren't silly looking anymore? It annoys me immenseley as a villain to have to escort someone out.

Also, have they done anything to combat the level 25-50 grind?

Yes, you do have to do Police Band missions to unlock safeguards. However, at least the text on the Police Band missions are more amusing in some places. As an example, I had to retrieve the P.L.O.T. device from the Council.

I agree. This needs to be addressed big time. Its ok to grind it out in typical MMO's but in CoH/V where you only get one new super power every two levels, its simply not worth the grind!
