City of Heroes - Secrets: The Matrix Room

My Warshade travels to one of the many secret areas in City of Heroes, the area simply dubbed 'the matrix room'. The area was originally going to be the waiting room for the Arena, but ended up never actually being used (although, it was left in the game, and those that know how to move about can still find it).

Sweeet is there a special form for vill archtypes?

[KitsuneKnight]

@w746ehj Nope, the shape shifting is a unique aspect of the Kheldian Archetypes (Peacebringer and Warshades). You can always side-switch the Kheldians into villains at level 20+, though. The Villain Epic Archetypes have their own unique mechanic (the branching component, which makes them doubly interesting in combination with multiple builds).

The Villain Archetypes, in general, are also much more unique as far as classes go compared to other games, as well as Heroes.

how did you turn into the sea monster thing

[KitsuneKnight]

@w746ehj It's the Warshade's Nova Form power (aka 'Squid'), available at level 6+. Warshades are one of the 4 Epic Archetypes in the game, unlocked by getting a character to level 20 in their respective alignments (Warshades & Peacebringers for Heroes, Arachnos Solders and Arachnos Widows for Villains- none yet for Praetorians).

Shouldnt have posted this! Keeping the room a secret is part of the secret. BTW what server? Im Freedom/Guardian-Guardian being my first server. Clasher1 was my global.

[KitsuneKnight]

@Dracohero Most people will still never see it, since you have to first find a way outside the appropriate map(s), with the appropriate powers. I used to play on Freedom, Virtue, and Guardian, but let my account lapse mid/late last year. I've been tempted to go back, since there's really no other MMO with even slightly similar gameplay/stylings, but probably going to wait until the next issue to hopefully have multiple Incarnate levels to mess with.

[Dracohero]

@KitsuneKnight Yea, I quit this game a while back. Every once and a while I get tempted to return. BTW, do you log in and out to get under the map or the other way?

[Dracohero]

@fdythunre heh, I know that one. you can go all over the place on that map

[3l3m3ntic3]

I go in there quite a bit actually. I know how to get there in PI but no other zone...my global is @Spiked Green Hornet, I play on freedom mostly. Hit me up if ya want

A few years ago in a baby new year mission a few friends and i were running randomly at the trees and we fell off of the map. We fell for about 5 seconds and suddenly stopped, taking massive damage. It was really cool, but i forgot how to get in.
