Recluse’s Victory is near

28 Apr, 2006

The fight for tomorrow will begin in Issue #7.

Soon, the forces of good and evil will collide in a recursive future as they battle over Recluse’s Victory. Each victory or defeat will bring the reality of this alternate Atlas Park one step closer to “true time”. It will be up to the heroes of Paragon City to defeat Lord Recluse time and again, making a future free of Arachnos ever more real until it finally takes hold and denies all other conclusions. Meanwhile, the villains will strive to litter Atlas Park with the broken bodies of their hated foes and secure tomorrow for themselves.

Now, Statesman calls on all heroes of Paragon City to take part in this epic battle that will determine the very fate of the future. Read the transcript of Statesman’s radio address below…

“And Atlas Wept"

image

Heroes of Paragon, I speak to you on the second anniversary of our victory over the Rikti invasion with a heavy heart - for I have seen the possibility of a dreadful fate that we cannot let come to pass.

Through great sacrifice on the beaches and under-city of Grandville, Freedom Corps operatives have discovered that Lord Recluse is nearing completion of a temporal portal that could bring about the end of Paragon City as we know it! In his never-ending quest to destroy all that we stand for, Recluse is at this very moment seeking alternate time streams in which Arachnos has occupied Atlas Park. If he can lock this possible tomorrow into place, our own world may eventually be subsumed by that parallel time!

Recently rescued Portal Corps scientists confessed that they were tortured into building this doomsday device for the Arachnos Lord. But all hope is not lost – they also revealed that they secretly included a weakness in their design by covertly inserting a reset switch into the temporal anchors. This switch renders the device itself weak and unable to lock onto a given time stream for more than a few minutes. To counter this flaw, villains will have to constantly maintain control over these anchors if they ever hope to bring about their ghastly future.

With schematics smuggled out by these brave scientists, we have built our own temporal portal and have secured a base under the alternate Atlas Park. I implore you, fearless heroes of Paragon, to report to the D.A.T.A. offices in City Hall if you are willing travel forward into this time stream and defend our fair city from evil.

The strongest among us will join this struggle. Following me into battle are Manticore, Positron, Sister Psyche, Synapse, and Back Alley Brawler. We have also built our own Heavy Weapons Mobile Support Units, so take full advantage of these formidable weapons as they could turn the tides of war!

And make no mistake my fellow heroes, this truly is war. The very existence of our world is now in flux and we must work together to prevent this dark victory!"

What “Xopha” said, if we hoplelessly lose and all die, will we lose OUR Atlas Park and OUR Paragon City? That’d suck. Aside from that…

I dont even know when it is plz tell me some1

0Posted by Hagahatrack on 19 May at 08:17

They haven’t pinned down a final release date for Issue 7 yet…

But. Given that it’s now on the test server (please see http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=241927&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#241927 for details of how to get on the test server if you don’t know already), and that Issues usually go up on Live after about 3 weeks on test… should be within the next 2 weeks. So probably before June.

And if Atlas Park does get destroyed, a large change like that will come in an issue, more than likely, so you have at least 3 months to not lose to the villains all the time in order to prevent it smile

Oh, and… deadly.
