I wonder how much Dark Armor will change for Stalkers. My guess is that will replace Cloak of Darkness, though I hope they have Immobilization resistance in on of the shields still. I hope they keep Dark Regeneration. I might as well stop playing my MA/Ninjitsu one and wait to see if I want to reroll her.

I was wondering the same thing. On the one hand, CoD and Hide stacking stealth would be a bit overpowered, at least at first glance.

On the other hand, there are some other powers that would also make sense if dropped (Death Shroud, for example). And there's obviously the Immob protection issue as well. (Unless they say "bugger this" and take out CoD anyway, and tell players to get Combat Jumping if they want Immob protect.)

What the heck is an 'empowerment station'?

I love the idea of SG banners! Maybe we can design them like with the costume designer and drape them on the walls and stuff!

 

Posted

I still think there should be an SG-costume option.
It's basically a fifth costume slot, used for SG costumes only and costs Prestige to make, but not to wear (the Prestige cost is to prevent people from making one-person SG's just for an extra slot...Cape/Aura level Restrictions would still apply).
This way, Official SG Uniforms do not prevent you from getting your own SG uniform.

I don't know where "over hear" is nor what "beter" means. I'm inclined to, y'know, stop caring.


In DA for Stalkers, they'll probably do the same thing they did with Energy Aura - change the Cloaking Skill to Hide and presumably cut off any extra benefits.

I'm really, really hoping there's more to I7 than what's on that list. Way too many "Villains only" tags for my liking.

Never surrender! Never give up!
Help keep Paragon City alive with the unofficial City of Heroes Tabletop Role Playing Game!

This isn't a total patchnotes list. There's still a lot this list doesn't tell us about I7.

A press release like this means some official announcement must be coming soon. It was said to expect I7 on the test server sometime in February, and that is quite soon.

It allows you to hold meetings, write memos, and demand TPS Reports for one hour.

For some reason, I can't access that site. Never have been, and still can't.

As for the features: Granted, it's not a full list, but I am disappointed by two things....1) Still no new mission tilesets for CoH. So, by the time we get to the second anniversary, we'll still have the same old general tilesets we've had since I1. 2) No EAT's? I was really starting to ramp myself up for a Coralax.....how much longer devs?


Otherwise, it sounds like good news for CoV

I thought it was where once activated a Chris Farly replica came out and complained about his gord?

Cloak of darkness doesn't stack with stealth. All it really means is dark armor would get a slightly superior stealth. (no speed reduction on it, grants immob protection)

-side note, hopefully there is more to COH than just the PVP zone, artwork, and UI upgrades.... LAME. But none the less

Even just looking at that list it makes me fear that most of the manpower at cryptic will be focused on COV and we'll get less new content in COH because of it. I mean this issue is essentially issue 1 for COV and its a large update for the game, but all that new stuff means people have to make it, and that means people arent making things for COH

I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.

I'd bet the new costume options are no doubt the shared costume peices for heroes from the villain side if you own both games and maybe some unique costume parts depending on which villain you ally with. The new base items sound nice, I was wondering what to add besides more decorative rooms lol.

But SG banners? Whats that I wonder....

 

Posted

Seems like a nice list of additions... to CoV. Is it just me or does CoH seem like it's getting table scraps? I hope this isn't a trend. Wait 6 months to see one side of the game get favored.

I would love for a Dev to confirm or add to this, because it seems like CoH is getting boned.

Mayhem Missions (Villains only)
Take villainy to the streets of Paragon City with tense new timed missions among destructible environments, which also unlock multiple random events. Players harass citizens, rob stores, destroy property, plant bombs and battle the police in these exciting open-ended timed missions. Causing extra mayhem results in bonus rewards!

[/ QUOTE ]

Hopefully this will stop people whining about not being evil enough.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, this is what we asked for. You know...to do evil.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

Well in fairness... Getting CoV from lvl 40-50 would take a lot of work.

New zone, new missions, new arcs, Patron powers, ect... CoH may not get a ton this issue, but that doesn't mean that will be the norm from now on.

Look at the article again.
Read the bottom.
There is a link to learn more about City of Villains.

What does this mean?

It means that that information is only the part that affects City of Heroes.
I'm sure Electrical Melee/Armor will be released for Tanks.
I'm sure CoH will get stuff too.
I wouldn't be suprised if they give CoH bases (without CoV).

If not, I'm fine with that too.
I am very happy with CoH at the moment, and as long as there are no nerfs for CoH I'm happy.
I expect nerfs for CoV (it's new...hasn't gone through the nerf bat yet).
I do not expect nerfs for CoH.
If CoH gets nerfed, there will be something to make up for it (or try to...and not just all the buffs and the much better Dev-to-Player response)

I cant read the artical (stupid work filters). But to me it would seem that most of the stuff on it would probably be speculation. I bet they just put things on there thats been rumored for a while now. Ill wait for the official word from our friends at cryptic first.

Wait no longer friend! (2 posts down)

My fear as well. It seems the only things on the list CoH is getting is stuff that applies to both games (Recluse's Victory, etc.)

I'm hoping this is just the CoV side of things, and we'll get a CoH list soon. I'm crossing my fingers!
