I must say while solo I do avoid Longbow like the plague I really don't want to see them toned down too much. IMO they are really fun to fight in a good team as they are now and really only seem overpowered when I fight them solo.

One that always makes my hidden stalker a little nervous is when an NPC says something along the lines of " I could have sworn I saw something".

I figured since we can openly talk about CoV and I saw my Bro-in-law play the game and fight Skulls and Hellions,I figured i'd ask.I never player BETA myself becuase it's on a test server,not a real server like Virtue on City of Heroes,the test server runs awful everytime I see it and the Non Discolosure Agreement was in place and I got a big mouth,so I turned it down.

Since I am asking questions,think the Carnies will be in CoV also?

Carnies have their own area in St Martial (i think thats how its spelled). It is a huge Carnival area with several tents and and tons of carnies walking around. Overall it is a pretty cool area.

Besides, you don't get your Hollows mission from your first contact, so usually you have to run from KR to hollows no matter where you start (*muttergrumble*)

Actually, you can skip your second contact all together. As soon as you finish your first contact, you can head directly to hollows and talk to wincott, he'll hook you up with missions without having to run to kr or wherever.

Actually you can skip all your contacts and just go to wincott anytime after lvl 5 and he will start giving you missions. I usually street sweep to 5 or 6 then head to the hollows without ever going to see any other contact.

So did he become a sword user at the end of the series, or was that just a good luck charm?

Could be an accolade.

Put your group of eight together. It doesn't really matter what you put in the group with one exception. I'll get to the exception.
I will outrun them and not by a little. At level 38 we clocked it. I earned XP at a rate of 190,000 per hour solo. Go to whatever zone you like. Good luck. How about Crey's Follies? Is that hazard enough? Freaks. Carnival area by the Rikti crash site.
Then I will assemble a group of 4 and we will outrun them again.
Then I will assemble a group of 2 and we will outrun the four.

You're absolutely correct. The problem is, once again, that the high level players (38) can battle against foes that are much, much higher level than they are. A small group of said heroes can find a spawn appropriate for them...whereas what's tough enough for a full group of 8 level 38's? It's much, much tougher for that large group to find something that's a challenge - and can give them great XP - than it is for the the small group.

That issue is next up - right after the Expansion goes live.

I think what most people are trying to say is that the problem isn't just a high level one. For most AT's even at level 10 you can get better xp solo than grouped when there is more than 4 or 5 people.
