oh, and my characters name is dilapidate

I saw some familiar names in the few threads i looked at. Ya'll may or may not remember me, I played mostly as a villain when villains first came out for a good year or two. Anywho, I reactivated for a month to see how it goes. Seems my friends list is permanently grey, so if anyone would like to join me in leveling my new tank, that would be rad. Or if any active SGs will have me, at least for some banter would be good. Only level five, but i'm about to hop back in and tool around. I also have various characters both hero and vilalin of various levels.

I don't know if some of you understand the whole norcal/socal thing. "the central coast" is the montery bay area. I believe that's about where "the line" is. I'm in the stockton area and we are norcal.

Hello and welcome, Cricket!

If you're that bad on your heroes, you might want to consider sticking to PvE.

i'm not sorting through all those pages, just voicing opinion here.

first, thank you for the information. But uh...what's really going on here? These sound ok, i guess. But these are NOTHING compared to the powers available to heroes. Do you think a single target hold is going to stop a scrapper with mez protection and focused accuracy? I think these power are completely unfair to the villains. Where's our Foucused Accuracy? Indomnibal (SP) Will? Personal Force Field? Force of Nature? Unstoppable? I'm very dissapointed in the options right now. But i have yet to see them in action. Mabey the attacks do rediculous damage, the holds have increadible mag, and the pets are some crazy version of the meager minions i've been fighting. If they are not then I will probably never roll another villain.

Edit: Mabey I jumped a head of myself. It has been said that we don't HAVE to do the patron archs. Are there going to be "normal epic power pools" similar to the hero types if we opt not pick a patron? Or are we going to be limited to primary/secondary/PP?

You could also be actioned for exploiting in a PvP zone - for example - by hanging out as a villain in a hero hospital to gank heroes as they respawn. This is not as designed and may be actioned.

What about playing a villian, then having a hero confuse you so you can attack other villains?

Nub Nuu's Nuu Nubs is open and ready for awesome!

Not really any rules for this SG. I thought it might be funny to have members with nuu and/or nub in their name (i.e. I Nub Pie, Nuu Got Pwnz0rd, etc) But I don't really care.

Many will enter but few will win!

Well, yeah. But hide stacks with pretty much every other stealth power out there, I think - or does it? I'm not really sure myself. Doh.

Concealment: Stealth and Cloak of Darkness are Mutually Exclusive.

I think you'll all be pleased with Dark/Dark for Stalkers.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, what Castle is saying is... PvPers will be able to get their stacking Stealth from Cloak of Darkness, rather than open the Concealment pool for Stealth.

And, if you do go for Stealth, it wouldn't stack with CoD...

So... Yay! No more necessary Concealment pool! (At least for DA).

Care to now expand on all of the toggles of DA, Castle? Death Shroud, Oppressive Gloom, Cloak of Fear?

C'mon!

They probably won't offer cloak of darkness. Much like the /eng stalker doesn't get energy cloak.

I'd like to see something done about flight too. I have hover 3 slotted on my brute, which works well for PvE missions for added defense and great range of motion (the fact that I usually team with kinetics corruptor is nice too, SB FTW). I took TP as my main method of transportation. As for the PvP aspect, it's not so great, I can't chase anything down. I have to rely on team mates to slow/hold my prey.

I took fly on two of my other villains though, It's a little disappointing. Very slow, lots of end. Some may argue that you get unlimited mobility. I would counter that there are likely more -fly powers than there are against other travel powers, and they're all targeted. What i mean is all you have to do to bring down a flier is target that person, click your power, and he falls, provided it connects. Almost all other counter travel powers are AoE (exept for Lingering radiation and ice blasts/shiver), meaning, that they can be avoided if a player is observant enough to go around.

tangent.

I agree that flight speed should be looked at and/or the end cost of it.

I got a kick out of an arc I was doing. Had to take out a Freak tank called "T3h R0xx0R" when you attack he says "I will R0xx0R your B0xx0Rz!!1" good times

No, siren's call was some other crazy rad blaster type hero...

Um - I think Geko meant "in the coming updates." I'm not sure whether any of these will make it into I6 or not - so let's not set up any expectations!

You are my hero Statesman. I want to be like you when I grow up. May I create a villain named manstates...mandates! anywho...

I can't wait for CoV, new powersets. And to respond to an earlier statement...of course they're going to keep some powers exclusive to CoH/CoV (Empathy/Plant Control) This promotes buying both games.

P.S. I still want a chainsaw for my villain....a deliciously gory chainsaw with spikes and baby heads hanging off of it to chop off the heads of innocent kittens and puppies. Oh and rabbit's feet as gifts for my family/friends.

As plainly stated by Alexia earlier today...

I <3 you Positron and all the fine employees at Cryptic Studios. You're doing a bang up job!

I found it interesting to finally learn of the origins of the task force commander badge, I've seen it on various badge guides. Any insight as to the other unexplained badges I've seen? Street Crime Badge, Super Patriot, bug hunter, corsair, etc? anyone able to explain these and any others I didn't list?

I could be wrong but here are my assumptions.

here is a guy w/ a crab spider helmet

this looks like a wolf spider war helmet

wolf spider helm from the front?
Not-so-great pic of mystic helm?
gamespot has a couple movies that have villians wearing the helms pointed out above. Take a look at Official Movie 1 and 2

this looks like Ghost Widow in a blood widow/mystic hybrid helmet

who needs a helmet when you can look like this guy

I'm sure i could find a bloodwidow helm somewhere, but i'm tired of looking.
