I haven't heard of that but that would be interesting, sort of like super raids on a Galatus type opponent. Maybe something like this is planned?
from what i remb no i dont think they can even talk with eachother, unless something has changed
I think one day, dare I say, like the Ap*calypse saga in the X-M*n (don't assassinate me!), there will be a greater evil that will try and rule both areas (The Rogue Isles & Paragon City) and both good and evil will have the chance to team up and beat the sh*t out of them.
I'm still not sure if i want to buy CoV. I'm still having alot of fun with CoH. But with the announcement of not having to pay an additional monthly fee, i'm teetering...
If we could team with CoV folks, I'm there!!

I think that would be a sweet idea...maybe even something along the lines of a "Hive" type zone with something much tougher to beat than Hami!!
I read this in a Q&A, forget which site. The reason this isn't in the game yet (if ever) is because it would be too easy for players to grief each other. Villain quits team and attacks heroes while they're resting after a fight, leading them into a trap, playing poorly on purpose, etc. If they can figure ways around this, it could be added.

I highly doubt that. What's Hero vs Villain combat if you cant monologue? This isnt WoW
you would thnk if they can pvp against one another then the mechanics are there for all of us to group together
Ummm, wouldn't that be like what villains are supposed to do?
That would be a really cool thing, but I think for special TFs and special GM events, not for day-to-day things really.
But, the heroes and villains gotta talk to each other! How else can we make those memorable lines?

While it's one of those storylines that has appeal, in an MMO world there is just too much potential for exploits and griefing. My villain teams with your heroes and leads you into a trap where my villain buddies wipe you out. My villain teams with your hero and intentionally fails the mission just to grief you. My villain teams with your hero and then quits the team and leaves you in the lurch or just quits and attacks you when you're resting, etc.
Like I said, not at this time. Perhaps after we can explore and work out all the problems.

I would guess that this is because they don't share anything but PvP zones between the games. Finding out that you can't go with your "team" to a proscribed zone would be unfun.
Still here, even after all this time!

Optimist: That means eventually!
Pessimist: So, he's saying it's not feasable, and won't happen.
Me: Yay, it'll happen! But it'll take them like, 10 years. Maybe. Or this is all a plot to throw us off and conceal the truth! Yes! That's gotta be it!

Unlees things have changed then they wont be ble to team, but you can switch sides so a former villian can team with heroes and a former hero can team with villians. So yeah you can kinda team with each other but it'll take more effort than simply inviting them.

Harmony Fenix 27 kin/elec defender

Lillandria 30 Fire/eng blaster
among many, many other alts. (These are just my favs.
)
I don't see why its that hard, I mean as far as leading into a trap, jut make it so the PVP rules are disengaged in that particular zone where the big enemey is. So lets say a new "zone" is created where there is a huge enemey, story wise, that is a threat to both sides, for the zone PVP attacks are turned off, and the very beginning of the zone is "safe territory" where the teams could meet up and form.
As for the whole dropping out in the middle of missions and such, well that happens right now, though its usually not done for griefing.
Just because they share a PvP zone doesn't mean they can team, just that they can shoot at each other 
----------------------------
You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.
How about a TF where you are fighting a bad guy so bad that it threatens the whole earth or something. Like the new X-men Xbox game. Brotherhood and X-Men fighting Apocolypse, etc.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? To my knowledge, that is false. My understanding is that currently the only interaction between Villains and Heros takes place in either specific PK zone, or in base raids. However the way the devs talk there is definitely hope more interaction will be added soon.
wasnt going to reply and then rembered a little from my (flash the role playing years and a champions book comes into my mind) there was a club where the heros and villians could come on to in neutral territory and hang out together so on this primise why cant we have a neutral zone were we can hang out in together have a club. Let the devs set it is so it nuetrilizes our powers and have the zone set up with ritiki so we can join forces (becasue if any villian deserves to get squished by both sides its them), they could even get a tf for the combos team and a badge called Natural Respect

The confirmation is earlier in this post re: the non teaming. Re: the switching sides, that's been confirmed as a post-release trail (I6/I7/I8?) that will end with you having to make a choice of some kind. After that point, you will be regarded as either a hero (reformed) or a villain (fallen) based on that choice.
Can villians goto the normal CoH zones, like atlas, steel canyon, kings row... ect? Cuz if they can i wouldnt get why they cant team up due to you cant really lead people into traps unless its a PvP zone, in which atlas and those are not. the only thing i can think of that would mess things up is the failing a mission on purpose, but why would you want to do that, completing it helps both sides not just the heroes or the villians. but then again i guess there are those few that are like that.

Think of it this way.... CoV is an expansion to CoH not a standalone game. Don't you owe it to yourself to get expanded. And as an added bonus, you get a whole new game on the side.
I havent seen anything on this and would just like to know if your able to team up as a hero with villians, and villians with heroes to do like missions and xp?
