PvP sucked before. I am willing to try the new version. I guess the hardcore PvP crowd is going to have to grin and bear it...all 5 of you. I keed I keed

Yeah, i13 seems like it's more of a fix issue and we're not getting a whole lot new. I think there are some cool things in i13 but there were other things that we needed before the i13 content.

I like the new page better. Looks good and the old look is still there with the forums (hopefully that sticks around).

I would only suggest making the title CITY OF HEROES & VILLAINS

That's a very cool production. I liked it. I think CoX should add a link to acceptable videos (like this) and put it on their site. It's an excellent vehicle to dazzle people.

The only comment I would add (that hasn't been noted already) is adding items from the Vills side. Cap has some cool areas (the globe above the arbiter), the patron arcs have some cool scenes (Scirocco's finale is a good one) and the casino/pyramid is quite cool too.

Maybe a quick zoom in on the main Villain groups? Quick shots of some very cool supers? I don't know. So many cool ways to go. I can't wait to see the next one. Great work!

Ok so the new missions are going to be in Cim. I guess that means my Vills will have to get to lvl 35 to get in. Great. Just what we asked for....more low level Vills content LOL Wow, now I have to agree with the legions of Vills fans who keep saying we get the shaft in this game. Ah well. What can you do.

I'm just irritated that they keep calling Pain Dom villain Empathy. Though I suppose it's on their head when they release it and get an outcry from the Empaths that were expecting an awesome villain buffer.

Really. Empath players that have seen the power list say "Hey, it's missing three of the most important Empath buffs, this isn't Empathy, I'm not going to play it." Non-Empath players say "Hey, this set looks pretty cool. I always hated Empathy, but I'll try this out!"

Villains are *still* missing 3 buffs that heroes have. Those buffs may be overpowered, sure, but it's still not even.

Pain Dom is a fine set. Just stop calling it Villain Empathy, or the solution to Empath problems on villainside, or whatever. It's not.

Just come out and say "Villains will never receive Regen Aura because it is too overpowered, and we're eventually going to nerf it heroside, but until then, villains will get the short end of the stick."

How many times do we have to tell you that we don't want the heals in Empathy, we want the buffs. Empathy != healer

I really think Vills and Heroes getting almost the same powers/power sets/looks to powers is LAME. Make them unique so it compels us to try both.

What's worse is that they have divided Vills and Heroes. Ugh

Another booster pack I'm gonna buy :-p

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey yeah. If they worked out a few more costume pieces into that set then I would buy the Pack. The Cyborg pack was really lacking for $10.

It's too bad thr writers don't provide some fresh, new story - the contacts are based on current signature characters. It'd be nice to see them break away from this and make something new and different.

I really hope the missions are better than what we have. Most of our current missions are so repetitive it makes me puke I really hope for new tile sets, bosses that look like bosses and not just another mob member etc. I don't know how many times a mission has ended and I didn't even realize I was whooping on the boss...he/she looked just like the rest of the mob!

[/ QUOTE ]

Well Bruce did say that this was supposed to be his tutorial into the CoX mission builder, and that he was put under certain constraints....Hopefully in the future there will be new contacts and story arcs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I agree but most of my complaints are appearance based. Repetitive tile sets and bosses that look just like the rest of the mobs in the mission. Those are easily fixed. When I started playing I thought s named boss would look cool and different - sadly so many of them do not.

That was a big beef with the Architect - if you can't customize the mobs and boss then what is the point of making any missions. Sure you could write a very short story but the missions would look the same and you would get less rewards - no thanks!

1) Will non-mac users be given access to the bonus power and costume in the future.

2) How will this affect people who have macs and already have accounts? (I dont have a Mac, I'm just wondering)

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, just like the Good vs. Evil edition of the game, the Macintosh version will include some special in-game items, including:
<ul type="square">[*]Mission Teleporter Power - Players can save time and get right into the action by teleporting directly to their active mission.
[*]Exclusive Valkyrie Costume set - Costume pieces include two varieties of wings, a cape, a skirt/kilt, pants, boots, shoulders, chest, gloves, belts, and helmet with multiple details.[/list]These items will be available separately for purchase in early 2009 for customers who are not playing on a Mac. We’ll have further details of these exciting options, including screenshots, in the near future.

We'll have the above posted in a separate forum announcement, along with information about the closed beta test of the Mac version, shortly.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good times. I'd pay a couple of bucks for that power and costume set. Definitely won't pay $10 though

That is great news. Should get lots of new players on board.

So, how does a PC user go about getting that Valkyrie costume set you're providing in the Mac version?

Another Signature Character Ripoff?

That Saddens me, Imperious and Deadalous were enough lame for the new zone.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I kinda said the same earlier. I have to say most of the characters and the cannon is kinda weak. Some great ideas but after 5 years you need some new, stand alone characters/stories.

I think the site rocks! What I also like is your comments about signature characters - a step in the right direction!

I think you really need to give an idea of the CoX world on the site. When I was looking into the game there was no readily available information to the game. I didn't know who these characters were, I didn't know the Vills, I wasn't easily able to find out where the game is based (Rogue and Paragon) and there was no sense of the CoX cannon or lore on the page. It would be cool to see this and a features link put on the site. I really think if that info was easily available it would entice more players

This event kinda gets old in a hurry

Yup, more missions would be nice just as long as they use new tile sets. If not then there's no point..might as well just repeat the same mission over and over because that is essentially what we're doing.

Like I keep saying, an easy quick fix would be to make the Hollows a co-op zone. Not ideal but could be done quickly and less effort than a new zone. Also it would allow players to use a zone that was not too busy. Yes, Villains would quite enjoy a new way to level lower level toons.

hmm, who said this was a cover up to try and divert attention from the slip up of announcing crossover?

Huh? Crossover? What do you mean?

But he talked about all of the stuff coming next year which will blow our minds.

No frickin' kidding. What a load of hooey . I13 and i14 were supposed to be huge and they're so NOT huge. Give me a break. Before I was content to stay here and ignore the competition. The survey list was awesome. Looks like all we're getting for a while is the MA. Looks cool (depends on how it works) but where's the rest? I thought I'd stay loyal to this game but it has become kinda dull and I am pretty sure I will be checking out the competition - kinda sick of the, "So much awesome stuff but we can't tell you!" stuff. You disclosed the survey list so why not give us an idea of what's coming?

Ah well. The zombie event is a nice change of pace.

You know, there is nothing wrong with the Day Jobs feature. DEVS can add as they please and ignore the constant requests of the player base. I don't think it's a big secret that CoV is a better game than CoH but CoV has a lot fewer features. It looks like i13 and i14 will not be adding anything. It's too bad.

[/ QUOTE ]

I13 will be adding something that comes up every 2 weeks, and the doubled XP will be coming up even more often than that.

Not too mention new powersets, dual builds, merits, and some other quality of life features that probably haven't been announced yet.

The 2 week lag time of getting benefits from day jobs just kind of takes some sparkle from it though.

[/ QUOTE ]

What will they be adding every 2 weeks?

I don't think any of these adds are that big. After being told big things were coming (back before i12 was released) the new for i13 and i14 was very disappointing. The MA might deliver but I was hoping for some of the items from that survey list. Ah well. This is my only MMO and I don't know if these are for me

Maybe missions that are deemed DEV'S choices would be allowed to reward regular XP?

I think people would try the new content just because we're sick of going through the same old same old missions. Unfortunately I am quite sure we will not be getting new tile sets

I haven't made an entry to the Virtue Universe but have been thinking about it. Anyone have a guide on how to put one together? If anyone wants to help me do it even better! Send me a PM!

It's a great feature. I think they should do it for all toons on all servers - any toon above a certain level should get in. Maybe just do smaller bios. Anyway, it's really neat stuff!

why does everyone (mostly) want to just blow thru content? It seems ost want everythign right now.. I think the system is great the way its explained... They only problem i see is for people ( the few ) that only play one toon. If i am hooked on playing a toon all my other toons will be earning rested XP, bonuses and other rewards. Its a great idea and system.

I like it, I hope it stays as is...

[/ QUOTE ]

THIS IS NOT CONTENT!

I do not have to do anything for it other than make sure my character is logged out in the right place.

I don't want to blow through content. In fact I want more content but instead I get this.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't really care for this feature but will give it a try when it goes live. I am rather disappointed that this feature was added and no new lower lvl Vills content was added. If I had to pick 1 item out of the two it would be more content. When I say new content I mean just that...new content. Not the same old tile sets repeated with the same old mobs and characters. IMO the dire need in this game is for NEW content for us to PLAY. The repetitive nature of this game is driving me away.

The only bad thing about the invasion is it lags some older comps. I feel for those players. Other than that it's gold. If you're on a hunt mission then take a 5 minute break or something. It breaks up the monotiny of this game.

There is a serious lack of variety in this game. Don't complain when we get some variety and a change of pace

I love the Cyborg Pack, but was a little disappointed in it not including a Cyborg Chest. Yes, there are a few pieces that can you can use, but I was hoping for a see-thru robotic chest (similar to the Clockwork but prettier).

[/ QUOTE ]

I also thought there should have been a few more pieces in that pack. Still, it is decent stuff and I have put it to good use

I think this is a great move to allow us auras from lvl 1 and on. We paid for these items so it makes sense to get them ASAP. Good move, DEVS!
