June 30, 2009 6:00 AMBoomtown has posted a new interview with Paragon Studios' Matt Miller, Senior Lead Designer for the super hero themed City of Heroes. The Q&A covers some of the content planned for the Issue 15 update as well as some of the new experiences players can expect from the upcoming Going Rogue expansion.Boomtown: In your own opinion what will be the main feature of Issue 15?Matt Miller: I think the villain Strike Force which frees Reichsman is the star of the issue. Boomtown: Where are you trying to steer Mission Architect with the new features?Matt Miller: We want players to be able to tell the stories they want to tell, and we want players to be able to easily find the stories that they like to play. All the new features in Mission Architect apply to one or both of those tenants. One of the main elements we’re bringing to the table for Architect is the use of key phrases. Players and authors alike will be able to tag stories with key phrases that they feel best define what the story is about. They will then be able to search for arcs that contain these phrases. For example, you can tag and/or search for an arc with the phrases of ”Solo Friendly, Comedy and Canon Related Story.” Boomtown: Looking forward the first paid expansion has been announced – Going Rogue. Please explain to our readers what the new expansion will bring. Matt Miller: I can’t release much information yet. Hopefully the name alone, Going Rogue, provides a good foreshadowing to what the game will encompass. But among other things there will be new zones, the ability to switch a hero to a villain and vice versa, and difficult tasks for level 50 characters to do that make them more powerful. Boomtown: Free Issues expanding the game continuously has always been one of City of Heroes trademarks. Why was it decided to release Going Rogue as a paid expansion? Matt Miller: Scope. Going Rogue is well beyond what we could normally do in the scope of a free update. We will continue to provide our players value in the form of future Issues, but Going Rogue is going to feature a breadth of new game content that warrants expansion pack-style treatment.Visit the site below for more of the Q&A.Boomtown: City Of Heroes Q&ANCsoftTransGamingCity of Heroes
