This thread is to replace the old sticky, which apparently was inadvertedly purged. (CuppaJo, through PM, will make sure this thread does not suffer the same fate ).

Villains unite! Spread your group's message of mayhem by posting info here - name, contacts, etc. New miscreants can look here to find compatible groups, and established organizations can post recruitment info for new fodder--erm members.

I cant read the artical (stupid work filters). But to me it would seem that most of the stuff on it would probably be speculation. I bet they just put things on there thats been rumored for a while now. Ill wait for the official word from our friends at cryptic first.

Wait no longer friend! (2 posts down)

Not sure if you'd still call this a "rumor" per se, but from the Ask Statesman Answers thread:

Do you seriously think that there's any chance of seeing clown mastermind pets?

Clowns? NEVER. Carnival set, with clowns, strongmen and acrobats? Definitely.

Ok, it's not an AASQ badge, but we GOT OUR OWN FORUM!!!!

Thanks CuppaJo!

Huzzah!

As someone who kept bringing this up in Beta, I am glad to see a possible encouraging future!

Cuppa just confirmed she was there also, as Ms. Liberty!

...Though I've gotta agree with some people, exposed brains and sewn shut facial features don't really mesh with the heroic side.

[/ QUOTE ]

While I am in agreement that many of the costume options would 'port over well and be a refreshing option for CoH, certain items like those above and the truly villanous/monstrous faces should stay with CoV. From what I've seen in beta, clearly some options seem "villian-only."

Since I may not have a chance to check before end of beta , question on this:

FYI - for those who don't like the idea because villains should look different than heroes - remember that villains already have hero options. They can create a character identical to one that exists in City of Heroes

[/ QUOTE ]

Am I remembering correctly that some of the heroic face options were replaced/removed when the villanous ones were added?

Dang it Statesman, you didn't let us get a good argument going first.

My Doom post was wasted! WASTED man!

Here's a few close-ups: 1 2

To participate in base raids you need CoV
To just have a SG base, CoH itself will do.

This was my latest understanding as well. If anyone has a link to a change from an official source, please do share it.

...I know who Commander Courage is!

He was the superhero featured in "Comic Book: the Movie" starring Mark Hammil. As far as I know, he does not exist outside of said movie.

[/ QUOTE ]

Since there were other villains listed as "superheroes", I'm going to guess this guy from early 90s Marvel.

The costume "seems" to kinda match what I vaguely remember as the pixel pattern.

Commander Courage was process of elimination for me...luckily for me the choice was paired up with <ahem> Rainbow Boy?!?!??!

For tweaks, I think removing inactive players and adjusting colors/settings would be the biggies for me.

For additions, I love the previous ideas about SG content. I'd also like to suggest the possibility of sub- or specialized teams, a la the Espionage Squad from Legion or the Blue and Gold teams from Xmen.

try tanking anything with only Rooted on and your health bar shrinks to nil.

[/ QUOTE ]
Since I actually play the powerset, I know this is a lie. Thanks for trying tho. You can't tank insane stuff with just rooted. You should not be *capable* of tanking insane stuff with just rooted. I turn rooted on long before I turn rock armor on. It's a more interesting exercise, and it means i don't get knocked down.

Speaking from what I'd guess is the low end, Jack has done just fine so far with Rooted (he's lvl 18 now). Didn't even take Stone Armor, and can't recall the last time he was kille---erm, I mean knocked unconscious and teleported to hospital
