The newest position of the game is out for Champions Online and it discusses various upcoming changes that we think players will highly appreciate. Of singular note are three new repeatable missions coming soon to Monster Island. Interestingly, these missions are uttered to change as players repeat them, but that's all Cryptic was determining to divulge for the time being.
Another significant change will exist the ability to see mission objectives of another player's quick missions on your team and be rewarded if you help them clean that mission -- even if you don't currently have it. That the ~ time part is an important change, because it's a new incitement to group that's currently only there because of the tougher missions.
There are sufficiency more upcoming improvements, which can be found in a short-desire after the break.
