NCsoft has released the latest free update to its long-running superhero MMO, City of Heroes. It’s also ready to start beta
testing an Apple Mac version of the aion abyss points powerleveling.
The update, titled Issue 13: Power and Responsibility, focuses on new features over new content. First on many players’ wish
-lists must be the multiple “builds” now on offer for each character, allowing you to build two separate, specialised
powersets for one character. These can be switched between by visiting an in-game NPC.
Issue 13 also introduces pact levelling, which allows two players with characters below level five to sync their aion god
points and always stay at the same level, regardless of how much time online either character spends.
Day Jobs is a system which allows characters to level up in certain skills while logged out, similar to EVE Online’s offline
skill training. The Day Job you progress in is dependant on which of the game’s locations your character is in when you log
out.
On top of these three ease-of-use evening dress, you get some new power sets, missions, the merit reward system and sundry
other tweaks.
Meanwhile, NCsoft says that open beta testing for the Mac version of City of Heroes is imminent. The move means City of
Heroes will join World of Warcraft and EVE Online as an MMO playable on Apple computers. You can apply for the Mac beta at
the official Discount wedding gowns.
City of Heroes for Mac will be sold as a special edition digital download only from the PlayNC online store. It will include
the complete City of Heroes and City of Villains games, all the free updates, some exclusive items and a subscription-free
month of play.
Eurogamer MMO will bring you a hands-on report on Issue 13 soon.
