Invincible One

One other thing to mention when playing CO, is the spec trees once you hit level 10: http://www.champions-online-wiki.com...alization_Tree

I don't have any of his really early costumes unfortunately, just this one; Sovereign Hero:

Monetary wise, I wonder how much of an impact this will have on NCSoft's long term finances: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...ars-2-to-china

I like the concept of Boomtown. It's trashed in a most depressing way and is delightfully hopeless, moreso than Eden and RWZ. At least things grow in Eden and RWZ is being fought over. Baumton is just ruined to the point that no one wants to deal with it anymore, it's a festering sore where the undesirables can easily get lost, lurk and build lairs. If you listen closely, an ambient sound plays every so often that gives you the feeling of tinnitus. Sometimes I imagine what it's like inside one of those semi-toppled buildings and get goosebumps.

It wouldn't hurt to spruce the place up a bit - the undesirables could build shantytowns (like those in Terra Volta) and have minor turf skirmishes. But overall, Baumton does exactly what it's supposed to do: gives you a glimpse into Paragon City's possible future. Someday the meta-battles will tear the whole place apart and we'll all be sitting on ruins just like that, only it'll be in Atlas Park. And everything will be just too screwed up to even fight over anymore.

My money's on there being an Arachnos base hidden under Boomtown. It didn't take much digging in Faultline to uncover one there, and it's just the kind of place that Lord Recluse would use as a forward staging ground for an attack on Paragon City.

I'm expecting no more than one Praetorian zone with which you can begin new characters. At level 10 or so, you will be forced to dive out into the "real" world as a hero or a villain or as a neutral.

However, if I'm completely wrong and they give us the ability to level from 1 to 50 in Praetoria, well rock on. I'll be happy to be wrong. But I'm certainly not placing any bets on that.

Well Positron said here that Praetoria consists of several new zones. Depending on what is in them that's as large as CoV was when it launched.

Okay, Ms. Liberty is supposed to be holding Excalibur for Hero 1? That thing she has would be considered a short sword for her, for Hero 1 it'd barely be a letter opener! What's the deal?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's easy, the inside of Excalibur's scabbard is dimensionally transcendental

I would like:
The sewer-to-caves transition map from Gordon Bower's "defeat all Tuatha in sewers" mission.
All the Mayhem and Safeguard maps
The Grandville Gutter map.
Why do villains always blow holes in the floors of perfectly good offices? I would like some abandoned office-to-caves transition maps.
Outdoor RWZ maps without monkeys on them.
Giant Robot 02 (I assume it's the one with that room with the lava in it, where you look out the window at the robot's head)
The first mission from the Hess TF, functional trap optional.
The cargo ship part of the final map of the Silver Mantis SF, as it is much smaller than the current cargo ship map.

[/ QUOTE ]

I too would like all the Mayhem and Safeguard maps.

Well this old IGN video mentions that the Rogue Isle has a seat on the UN council: City of Villains Video

It's not possible. You can only use them as boss objectives and since they don't give XP, believe me if you could put them in custom groups people would 1 star you into oblivion.

[/ QUOTE ]

Huh, I didn't know they didn't give XP, damn. I so wanted to use them for ambushes. Oh well, thanks for the reply.

Hey

I was just wondering how do you go about making a villain group and ambush spawns that are made up of mastermind pets only. I can't seem to find them listed under the conventional spawn groups, they only appear under the spawn boss option.

Any help would be appreciated

The Praetorian Name thing is interesting. Let's look at some examples:

Statesman == Tyrant
Back Alley Brawler == Marauder
Positron == Anti-Matter
Mynx == Bobcat

So, in general, the Praetorian Name of a character is a reflection of their current name, but with a more...aggressive, sinister twist.

Given that:

Castle == Checkmate

Personally I'd call him I-Win: Behold his mighty "I Win" signature power, guaranteed to be used everytime it looks like he's losing

I have a couple of questions:

Other than being his successor how are Hero 1 and Hero One connected, and what groups were they associated with; the Dawn Patrol, the Fae and so on.

Was there any particular reason that the demigod that Lord Recluse gained his powers from, Tartarus, was changed from being Protogenoi to Titan?

I really need to get back over there and team up with you guys again.

Me too, at some stage, possibly.....

The Reichsman is also popular because of this:

"The ensuing battle raged through the Portal Corp laboratories and spilled out into the city streets. The Reichsman was every bit the equal of his all-American counterpart, and the two nearly beat each other into the ground. Fortunately, the rest of the Amerika Korps did not measure up to the Freedom Phalanx (apparently in his world the Reichsman did not take kindly to potential rivals, and thus their training had been somewhat lax). With his henchmen defeated, it was only a matter of time before the evil Statesman fell. To this day he remains frozen in suspended animation within the Freedom Phalanx's main headquarters."

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened had he been backed up by superior forces.

I'll vote for Aerones.

If you could choose a universe altering event for CoX what would it be, which group or groups would be involved and why?

Cool, I'll put forward Epic Hero, his in-game look:

Epic Hero

What he is meant to look like:

Epic Hero Art

What's in the "Greek" costume set? I thought some of that stuff could only be unlocked via the Valentine's Day event or has that now changed?

[/ QUOTE ]

New set.

That's Roman though which is listed below the Greek (and Pirate) set.

To me it looks like the villians lost some of their best sets (plant and cold) in exchange for some very poor sets (mace, axe, and earth control). To make matters worse they then added a completely new set of highly unresisted damage type to a high damage AT. Villians dont look like they will be making up much ground in the pvp when any of these come out.

Since when has Earth been a bad set?
