City of Heroes mission editor released

By Oli Welsh Published 9 April, 2009

Issue 14: Architect is live.

It didn't quite make it out in March, but City of Heroes' much-heralded mission editor has finally hit live servers.

The update, Issue 14: Architect, adds the Mission Architect system that allows players to author adventures in the superhero MMO, as well as browse and rate each other's content (globally - it links North American and European servers) and claim rewards for creating popular missions.

Additionally, there are some new player-versus-player match types and rewards included in the update.

There's a ton more information in the Issue 14 release notes. We'll have further coverage of Architect soon.

    Amazing what these guys put out with such a small dev team.

    The editor is even more powerful than I had hoped for. The stuff people are already putting out is great! But there's quite a lot of dross to sort through to find the good ones. Thank gods for the ratings system.

    As with anything that allows user-created content, there will always be a mountain of chaff to sift through. Just look at LBP. As long as the search tool and player ratings system is robust, all is well.

    Ooh, tempting to go back to. Wonder if my old superteam is still around...

    Most of the player-made missions I've been in have certainly been inventive, but they tend to err on the hard side - as you'd expect for content from dedicated players. You can typically expect to be facing well-balanced mixes of abilities with synergies and targeted against the most common player weaknesses, such as Psychic damage.
