City of Heroes News & Events & Guides

Fighting the signature characters was cool, but it was also something that was exclusively in the hands of the Villains. We really City of Heroes influence wanted something where the Heroes could have a chance at taking down the signature characters from the Rogue Isles. We wanted Heroes to see some of the cool things we did for the Villains since not every player is into playing "the dark side".

About the Mission
The mission starts out with Statesman telling you that Arachnos is up to something CoH Influence, something big. They are building something in Grandville of unknown power and use, but it is obvious that its more than a simple broadcast antenna that Lord Recluse claims it to be. Your orders are simple. Get to the factory near Grandville and shut it down.

Here we had a chance to have some "mayhem mission" type action, with your team of Heroes causing havoc in the WebFac, destroying City of Heroes influence vital pieces to the array in Grandville. This was something that players asked for when we introduced Safeguard missions. They wanted to go to the Rogue Isle and bust stuff up. Now they get to bust stuff up, but with a purpose.
