Issue 16 Live

Alexander Wentworth — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:29:00 +0000

The excitement is palpable among heroes and villains alike. Issue 16: Power Spectrum is now available across Paragon City and the Rogue Isles for all to make heroic (or villainous) use of! With this much-anticipated update, players can use the all new character creator and customize most of their powers by selecting themes or changing the colors and animations of specific powers.

Whether you feel the need to match your hero’s powers with their bright outfit or want your villain’s powers to look even more nefarious, the palette is yours!

But that is far from being all that Issue 16 has to offer.

“We’re celebrating the recent launch of Issue 16: Power Spectrum in style by offering all our players a Double XP weekend! But that’s not all, all inactive accounts in good standing will also be given access to City of Heroes and City of Villains® during the Double XP weekend!”

“All participating Hero and Villain characters will receive double the XP, Influence, and Infamy for their accomplishments in game. Just log in to start playing and take advantage of this opportunity to level up your favorite Heroes and Villains twice as quickly as normal!”

“Brace yourself for the new apocalypse as our annual Halloween Event returns to City of Heroes®! Legions of Zombies, Werewolves, Jack-o-Lanterns, and other foul denizens are preparing to descend upon Paragon City™ and the Rogue Isles™. This year they’re bringing even more powerful allies! The new apocalypse is deadlier than ever as mysterious monstrosities are joining forces with the Eidolons, Shivans, and others. Paragon City and the Rogue Isles could be in terrible peril, and only the greatest Heroes and Villains can turn back the tide.”

Some bling to hand out at HeroCon. Chocolate IOs!

We’re getting ready to head out for HeroCon soon and it’s sure to be a great load of fun. The family is dressing up in our greens for the costume contest and thought it would only be appropriate if we had a little swag to share with the people.

So, we’ve dipped into the inventory at Wentworth’s Consignment House and will be handing out Rare IOs in the first ever mass purple drop! There will be plenty to go around and you can sell them or eat them. Personally, I find them quite tasty.

Remembering HeroCon 2008

Alexander Wentworth — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:55:26 +0000

We’d better dig out pictures from HeroCon 2008 before we come back with a whole new set from this year. Funny how we all spend so much time snapping photos and take so little time to actually do something with them afterwards. I know many are adept at doing creative things with their photo albums online and off, but I have yet to master or even attempt that level of organization. Nevertheless, taking a moment to look back at these photos reminds me of the fun of our first HeroCon and gets me looking forward to this year’s event that much more.

The photos are somewhat reversed in the slideshow. They start with our trip to San Francisco and Pier 39 as we took Vangelus sightseeing after the Con. Just keep watching and you’ll start to see more and more heroes. Enjoy!

Welcome to Wentworth’s Online

With a minor bit of button mashing, the Wentworth Country Club now has a place in the ether for posting group news, events, stories and photos. We’ve been attempting to get some momentum behind a website for some time now, but things like base construction and TFs always manage to get higher priority.

So, now we’ve got a handy little calendar for planning group events and TFs, posting DoubleXP Weekend reminders, and general good stuff. There is a simple roster to show off our fine membership and encourage others to join us for the fun. There is certainly room for more, but as we spend so much time defending the citizens of Paragon it may be awhile. I wonder if there are any webmasters in need of rescue . . .

Virtue Task Force

Lydia (aka Sultry Siren) wants to run a task force on Virtue this Friday. I don’t know which one or what level yet, but it’s here on the calendar now. Add a comment if you want to come along. We’ll figure it out.
