New Purchasable City of Heroes Features
City of Heroes Adds More Options – Purchasable
Character Respecs Thursday, July 31, 2008
City of Heroes has expanded their suite of
available purchasable services to include Character Respecs (short for
Respecifications). Over the course of leveling up, there are many powers that a
character can choose from. A Character Respec allows the character to re-select
their powers from their chosen primary and secondary powers, along with any
other pools of powers they have access to. To be clear, this optional
purchasable Respec does not allow the primary or secondary powerset to be
reselected; it functions like existing respecs currently available in game.
Optional Character Respecs are available via the
in-game store found at the character select screen for the per transaction price
of $9.99 USD.
There are already multiple in-game methods that
players can obtain a Respec. Now, if the convenience of purchasing a Respec is
desired, it is available. Having a purchasable option has been an often heard
desire from the game’s customers.
Once players purchase a Respec, they must then
visit a Respec Contact in-game to use it, in the same manner as the in-game
obtainable respecs are done. The Respec Contacts include: Jack Wolf in Galaxy
City and Arbiter Lupin in Nerva.
