City of Heroes/Villains Issue 8 Interview

Computer Games Online has conducted an interview with Cryptic Studios lead designer Matt Miller about the team’s Issue 8 update for City of Heroes and City of Villains.

Q: What are the details of Safeguard missions? What are some of the benefits to completing Safeguard missions aside from the feeling of heroic virtue coursing through your veins?

A: Safeguard missions involve foiling a bank robbery that is taking place in Paragon City and preventing other mayhem that villains are causing throughout the zone. Foiling the bank robbery will give the player a really cool long-lasting temporary power, and allow them to tackle various side missions that then pop up in the instanced zone. These side missions carry with them badges as well as more temporary powers for you to uncover.
