Wasn't this going to be included with CoV?
Not a clue! 'Swhy I asked.
Wasn't there a thread about this awhile ago or maybe States said something about it?
He said he'd love to have it during an interview, yeah.
Lovely, well that explains that then.
Guess all we can do is hope for it someday!
I myself choose the 5th as my personal Archnemesis. It has absolutly nothing at all to do with them dropping Mutant SO's. 
I meant more along the lines of a singular villain.
Batman - Joker
Superman - Lex Luthor
Marvel Fans - Marvel (sorry, had to)
I know my villain would be the Praetorian Earth version of OutRage...
Rampage. A twisted individual who's exposure to the true corruption of Paragon City sent him over the edge and into the mindset that violence was the only thing the world had left. He's also a desperate suck up to Tyrant but doesn't even know where to find the *******. :P

Well, there have been any number of suggestions for this, but I think I know what you're talking about, yeah.
IIRC, in one of the recent interviews with Statesman, the interviewer asked a question about player suggestions or something. I believe Statesman used the "personal nemesis" suggestion as an example: if they wanted to, they could throw together a nemesis system in about a week, but it wouldn't meet their standards of quality.
Ah, found it:
Here is the interview, and the pertinent quote is

As for prioritizing, its all a matter of implementation measured against design. In other words, if a feature is not a big design improvement, its not worth a big expenditure of effort. But if something is cool, and fits the game well, then its worth the effort. Ill give an example: an Arch Foe system. Itd be really cool if players could earn their own Arch Foe and battle him on and off throughout a characters career. This is a staple in comics and movies, after all, so its a natural fit for City of Heroes. So this feature is naturally worth the time spent to implant it.
This gets to something else and its almost like a company statement at Cryptic dont do anything half well. We could jury-rig an Arch Foe system pretty quick (in a matter of a couple weeks), but it wouldnt be that intriguing. From Cryptics point of view, spend the extra effort and make something cool, rather than rush the feature out the door.

That's not exactly a confirmation that such a thing is coming, but it's certainly encouraging, I think.
Hot diggity damn! That IS encouraging!
The way he talked about it makes me think that it's an idea he's toyed with and not something he just came up with all of a sudden.
I say this would be AWESOME to see someday. 
I wonder if it'd be possible to design, at the same time as your own hero, your nemesis. That'd rock.
I have a batch of them, in fact their background bios reflect the villian in their pasts. I hope someday that I can fight those villians. Yeah.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

When CoV come out maby you can get someone to be your nemesis. It would rock. Pitting SG's and Villian Groups against each other. One doing bad the other undoing it. Plus you wouldn't be going up against an AI but a real person.
Even better, have two alts of your repeatedly butt heads! 
I'll have my personal archnemesis be my number one fan who wanted to my sidekick but I rejected him so he's spent all these years plotting revenge and...
What? It's been done?
I'll confirm something - Positron has written an absolutely kickin' design doc on Arch Foes that I'm really happy with....BUT that doesn't mean that this feature will be in soon...
Statesman replied to my post.
omgomgomgomgomgomgomg.
Seriously omg.
O_o

Come on pos, buy him lunch, we're counting on you
Seriously...the Taunting needs to stop...I know people that know people that know how to do things...you know what I mean...I know you know.
the role playing element of CoH will, in my opinion, really take off when CoV comes out. That way, you CAN have a personal AV... your buddy down the street (or across the ocean, whatever)... I'm excited for that. I plan on being several people's arch nemesis... or is that nemesi... Just think, if we get thugs to control, we could be their personal nightmare!

Simpsons did it!

Positron is da MAN!
And the Incredibles...but it was still a good movie.

Love the idea. Hope it comes to life. In a way I hope I can name my characters archnemesis (but to do that, I would need to know his powers and that may not be a cool thing to know ahead of time.)

Thanks for confirming that you know nothing, while giving Positron some meaningless praise. Lewis Carol would've been astounded by your jibberjabber.
I searched for it and I can't remember for the life of me where I may have heard this. It could have been hinted at or complete BS or a suggestion...whatever.
But I remember reading something about sometime down the line we may all get the chance to have a personal archvillain. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
God would that be cool. Get to design and name them...maybe pick their powers and have to end up fighting them at the end of origin specific story arcs.
Wow.
Does anyone else remember hearing about something like this?
