AE Badge Changes

Synapse posted[1] about some very large changes to the Architect Entertainment Badges coming up with Issue 15. Almost 90 badges will be removed, including the Hall of Fame and Dev's Choice badges, due to the developers' desire for Mission Architect to be about playing Story Arcs rather than grinding for badges.

Only 24 badges will remain, and characters who had already earned these badges will not have to re-earn them. Requirements for Mission Engineer Badge will be altered due to this; it is unknown if not having one of the new requirements will affect this badge if a character already has it.

City of Heroes Going Rogue

An exciting bit of news was leaked today about City of Heroes Going Rogue. What is "Going Rogue" you might ask? Well, after confirmation by Castle, the City of Heroes universe is growing bigger: "Going Rogue" opens up the new world of Praetoria...that's right, the very same Praetoria where Tyrant and company live!

Since it seems this mysterious email was sent out a little bit too early, we don't have much information about this development yet. Keep an eye on the article and the Official Going Rogue site for updates!
