Do us a favor TCS, stay out of the Tech Issue forum.

In any case, why would porting your characters over to a new COH be a priority? It's unlikely to have the same power structure, character attributes and mechanics as the original. You would definitely not be starting at the same character levels(as that would be ludicrous from a dev perspective).

So what exactly is it that you think players would keep besides a costume look?

I have to agree with Arcanaville on this. Porting to a new COX game would be worthless.

I think they would go DirectX all the way.

Has anyone ever tried using Grant invis on a Force Field Generator? If so, did it work?

I think I'll have to wait another 20 hours I guess. It's saying I've been a rogue for 1 hr. 22min.
I petitioned a GM. No word yet on this.

I had gotten the CoT seeds quest earlier though, and when I picked the Villain option I got some Rescued Bane Soldier with Longbow mission. Still got the Villain point for it though.

i6 Favored Villains (duh COV release patch)
i7 favored villains(villain 40-50 content)
i8 favored heroes (faultline revamp)
i9 favored neither (inventions)
i10 favored heroes (RWz, yes villains can participate but the content largely ignores prior villain content, thus it doesn't particularly feel like a villain update)
i11 theoretically this was neutral, however due to the larger amount of hero content already in the game it could be argued that heroes get more from ouro than villains.
i12 cimerora's story is blatantly hero oriented,heroes had 3 arcs from the midnighters whereas villaind had 2 +Darrin Wade so while the content additions are even the nature of Cim has abias towards heroes.
i13 iirc introduced the 2 contacts in cim, the additional Midnighter contact and the SoA. I'd say the 2 cim contacts are even but the additional midnighter had 3 hero arcs and 1 villain arc(that could have been a hero arc with some changes) I guess the Soa evens this out abit but the arcs are so bad people have stopepd caring about them.
i14 completely even
i15 even (nod to vilalins for getting a better SF, but that was largely due to the work put in by the players during test.)
i16 even
i17 seems fairly even to me.

and now we have i18 and GR

as part of i18/GR Tina McIntyre and Maria Jenkins saw an update to thier arcs. I didn't see the automated villainy arc getting a doppleganger for the end fight. I wonder why?

So you spoke about alienating the players well Villains largely feel alienated.

You also talked about putting content where the majority of palyers are, yes that's good business sense however it's also a catch 22. More heroes than villains, so heroes get more content, vilalins get frustrated and bored and either move to hero side or leave, thus there are more heroes than villains so heroes get more content and it repeats.

CoV has been out for 5 or 6 years now and it still needs to catch up to heroes in some areas, whereas heroes have consistently been catching up to villains in the areas that they needed to.
