While it is still possible in CoH to outlevel a story arc, you can always return to an outlevelled contact and complete the arc, albeit without receiving experience. This does not appear to be the case in CoV.
I found it to be extremely easy to outlevel the Port Oakes contacts without even trying. In fact, it's actually a little difficult to avoid outlevelling them until the story arcs are completed. With my MM, I did my broker missions and heist, then did Bocor's arc, by the time I did more broker missions and another heist, the broker wouldn't introduce me to any other contacts. Is there any way for me to complete those arcs and get the souveniers for them? I don't see a way at present because I can't even get the contacts to aknowledge me.

go back and talk to Bocor. he should introduce you to the next contact (the Radio)...I remember in Beta wondering why the broker wasn't introducing me to anyone else, so I went back and talked to him, and he pointed me to the next person. -

but only after they've pushed us back to the only safe place left at all.
the hospitals.
[/ QUOTE ]
We can rezz at our bases, if we have them and if we've built medical stations there. And we can teleport from our bases to other zones, if we have telepads.
Blockading the hospitals won't work this time.

heh, so they can blockade the base portals instead :P -

[LIST][*]City of Villains will release on October 31, Halloween, barring any major remaining bugs.

Ok I have a real problem with this part here. My pre-order says that the expected ship date is 11-9-05. That's not going to work for me. If the game is Out on Oct.31 and my game won't even ship till Nov.9th then I'm going to miss the 2 day advanced play; to say nothing of the fact that There would be no reason to pre-order the game. I'm already qualified for the 12+ mo. So I should get a beta slot and ok the bonus item would be kind of neat. But not so much so that I should miss the 2 day advanced play. Anyone have any thought here? I think Someone messed up. I would think I'd have my pre-ordered stuff well before the game goes live.

the shipping dates given before the actual street dates were announced were nothing more than random guesses made by the gaming stores...in other words, you'll get the game when it comes out, like you expected, and if you don't you take that store to task for it... -

It would be nice if Issue 5 had a new Accolade or two.

BAD POST NECROMANCER! BAD!
Issue 5 DOES have a new Croatoa-themed accolade!
[/ QUOTE ]
It does?
Where was this mentioned?

found this on VidiotMaps... called Geas of the Kind Ones...
not sure what if anything it does, though. -
I haven't run into a hostage escort mission, but I have noticed that the helper heroes are kinda slow... I don't use sprint in missions, because I always forget to turn it off in battle, and then wonder why my end is draining quicker :P
anyway, this means I run kinda slow, but I was still outpacing the archer guy in the Croatoa mission by quite a bit... he followed well enough, and engaged in the battles against the waves of Tuatha that came after us, which was nice, but his attacks seemed to be slow in coming...
also, when we got to the exit, I had to run right up next to the exit door before he would leave... most missions have a very obvious 'entrance' rooms... I think it would be better to trigger the NPC exit command to this room, than the actual door itself.
the mission was pretty cool, though, and It was cool to have to essentially fight our way out of the tunnel... so, overall I liked it.
I LOVE the NPC helper concept... I've heard that Akarist helps out in the Library of Souls mission now, which is awesome... it adds a lot to some of the old missions, in my opinion.
I would say that the overall speed of the npcs needs to be improved, so they can keep up, and make them a little smarter about noticing elevators and doors... do that, and it will be all good.
also, I should note that I had the problem with Flower Knight being at the end of the mission in Outbreak when I started my sonic blaster on test, but not with my Archer Defender, or my sonic debuff controller. so, it seems kinda random, but 2 out of 3 times I've done that mission, she was in a useful spot. -

sooooooo, the hellions? what the heck? they are weak and pathetic, only lvl 1-13 will get any exp. so how is that a good thing?
[/ QUOTE ]
It has to do with something called 'fun', which takes place at the low levels as well as the later ones.
[/ QUOTE ]
also, I think the XP from the event will be from putting out the fires, not fighting the Hellions... -

...could it be possible that one of the next new zones will bring back Winter Lords? It would be (forgive the pun) very cool.
[/ QUOTE ]
Whoah... an entire zone literally covered in snow and ice kept frozen by the Winter Lord. Suh-weet...
EDIT: [censored]!!!!! A 50-story version of the ice slide in FrostFire, OUTSIDE!!!! I WOULD NEVER LEAVE!!
ROTFL!!!!!
