New Powerset Preview: Kinetics Melee

I was at PAX East 2010 and was able to attend the "Re-Inventing A Super-Heroic MMO" Panel where the COH devs discussed Going Rogue and other upcoming issues.

The devs announced 2 new powersets that will be launched with Going Rogue: Kinetics Melee and Electrical Control.

They previewed the Kinetics Melee animation where I was able to record below:



Keep in mind that they said that the animation was "very crude" so the timing of the animation will likely be tweaked. 

Unfortunately, they did not have the preview for the Electric Control set ready.

I was able to meet the COH devs at a later meet n greet. Had a blast!

Makes me want to play COH right now!

My City of Hero & Etc Updates

I figured I ought to post in this blog after a year. =)

I've been busy working mostly and haven't had much time to play any sort of game. With that, at best, I would just reactivate CoH once a year when work is slow to check things out.

The reactivation weekend recently passed and I was able to get in 2 days of playing time. I managed to level my Gravity/Kinetics Controller, Theophelia and my Ice/Ice Tanker, Iceminx to 50. They were both hovering in the high 40s so it was not a hard thing to do given the double XP going on. I did also get my Fire/Fire blaster to level 22. Not much really, but it was nice to be able to catch up with some friends there.

I actually spent most of the playing time buying IOs for Theophelia and ended up spending about 50 million in influence. I think I have more fun doing that than actually playing. hehe.

Well, I guess that's it for the updates. I hope everyone is well.

Until the next reactivation weekend, I bid you adieu!
