After: New water effects and additional shadow detail.The mission editor is set to be tweaked and improved, with further improvements made to the user interface, as well as new badges and missions to explore.
Before: This room looks very clean, yet undefined.Ever since Cryptic Studios left City of Heroes/Villains to pursue their own projects many believed this epic MMO would just fade away, the reality couldn't be further from the truth.
After: Much better, the addition of realistic shadows adds to the sense of atmosphere.If Paragon Studios keep updating this classic franchise there's no reason why it won't continue for years to come.
