The patch notes for NCsoft‘s City of Heroes/City of Villains July 22 update have been released. This patch sees quite a number of changes including some fixes for cone attack powers and reduction of animation time for certain abilities.
Perhaps the biggest change though, involves a pair of bugfixes on the character selection screen which resolves the “disappearing characters when renaming” problem as well as the character moving to a different slot when renamed.
Anyway, here are the patch notes for the City of Heroes/City of Villains July 22 update. Enjoy!
