Issue 11 for City of Heroes has been announced as the next free expansion to the super hero MMO. This upcoming expansion features time travel allowing players to go back in time to experience new or old missions and story arcs. It also adds the much awaited ability to dual wield swords, a new willpower set for melee classes, new inventions, and weapon customization for select powers.
Features include:
Ouroboros System:Through the mysterious Menders of Ouroboros, players gain the ability to “Flashback”, that is to travel through time and relive major events from the history of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
Weapon Customization:Sometimes an assault rifle just isn’t the right tool for the job, or character, especially when he or she should be using a sniper rifle instead. Players can now change their weapons in the same way that they change their costume parts! From within the costume creator and tailor screen players select the new “Weapons” region. A number of new options are now available for appropriate power sets. Current power sets that benefit from this upgrade include Assault Rifle, Mercenaries/Assault Rifle, Bow, Broadsword, Claws, Villain Claws, Dual Blades (see below), Katana, Ninja Blade, Mace, Robotics/Pulse Rifle, and Thugs/Dual Pistols.
Dual Blades:With a flashing blade in each hand, the Stalker made quick work of the Coralax hybrids guarding the shipwreck.
Now Heroes and Villains can wield paired weapons to devastating effect! Use the new Weapon Customization interface to choose from several types of weapons. Dual Blades also uses a brutal new Combo system, where the order of your strikes can create new advantages for you to take down your foes! Dual Blades is available to Brutes, Scrappers, Stalkers and Tankers!
New Inventions:
Issue 11 brings with it new invention sets including “Very Rare” Purple sets, as well as brand new invention sets for Taunt, Buff and Debuff powers, among others.
I’m confused. Is issue 11 out, or is it coming soon. 1up says “in the next couple of months,” and it’s not clear to me from the official website whether this is live anywhere but the test realm. I’d actually fire up my account again just to swap out weapons on all of my toons. (sad? Yes.)

It’s not on the live servers yet, so yes it is “coming soon” with the next big patch.

Thnx i needed that clearing up aswell, but he’s right. It does’nt mention if its out or not on the official website. Shoud say coming soon rather than make you check up on it.
