Greetings again, and welcome to this week-in-review.

Read more: Week In Review - November 16, 2018

As development has continued we've improved the capabilities of our technology. With this expansion came the ability to offer our donors more benefits as a thank you for their support. Now that we are providing more rewards, the cost of the tiers has risen. Those who have donated in the past will retain their status and benefits, but will now receive additional rewards for their current tier.

Frosty3579 Is there an ETA on when the new donation tiers will be available? I would like to throw some money at this game

Will non-donors and bronze donors have access to travel powers and auras that are at least similar to the higher tier exclusive ones? I would love to be able to use something like the gold and platinum tier auras, but I simply can't afford to donate that much.

Well, would somebody who donated gold or higher feel comfortable with that? I don´t think so. There always MUST be a reason respectively a reward to donate gold or higher. Otherwise anybody would just donate to bronze status.

As long as all the super hero staples like Rocket Boots, Regular Flight and Teleport, and Super Speed are avaliable to everyone I don't see a problem with that.

Gerald Deemer This is a great idea and a way to get more people supporting this great game.

Well done

I´m looking forward to the donor created weapons and medallions.

Oskmey Great! Looking forward to it. I need to dig out the email that had my level (pretty sure plat) and then decide if I want to go to diamond.

Thank you for creating an opportunity for donors to (literally) leave a mark in the game world.

Thats not a basic feature for Guilds?

Actually we should make it more clear, so thank you for asking and I am going to update the text in the article.

Alliances will be able to create bases but they will be instanced (like in other games). Donors will have the option to make their bases accessible to the public. It's not something we could let every Alliance do anyway as, well, the server would probably explode.

Player housing will be instanced as well...

Thanks for clearing that up. Great to know

Anothername A question:

Alliance Base Designer: Become a truly iconic designer by creating an Alliance base in the persistent game world. Chose whether or not your base will be accessible to the general public, or simply make it inaccessible altogether. All publicly accessible regions will be subject to scrutiny due to system requirements.

Thats not a basic feature for Guilds? oO

Are there guild bases for guilds; "Batcaves" and/or apartments (in other words: housing) for individuals?

Sorry if it may sound stupid but seeing what reads like guild hall designer as a super special VIP feature make me go on full red alert.

DeathClutch Man so hyped for this. I swear silver deer-pig bot pet, reminds me of the pig on Seven Deadly Sins. Also those lucky enough to donate for the elastic travel power man im i jealous. That sounds really badass. I hope it will be available for purchase later out once the game is relased.

badfellas My absolute favorite point in City of Heroes as well as most games you can mod such as Skyrim and Fallout is when player created content becomes a part of the game. Not only making my own stuff but playing other people's content. There are alot of creative bastards with alot of time on their hands and I love it!

Frosty3579 I am pretty impressed by these rewards. Being able to directly influence a piece of game content is an amazing idea that I hadn't really thought about.

SavageFist Awesome. Can't wait to see what these items look like in-game. I'm horrible at design so hopefully someone is talented like a police sketch artist where I give a minimal description and they figure out what's in my head, lol.
