What are you looking forward with City of Rogue?

I've been playing COV off and on for years. I've always had a love/hate with this game.

On one hand, Being a bad guy never felt so good. This is one of the few games that made me feel like a badass. A brute is amazing and Robbing banks is the most fun i've ever had in a game.

With that being said, I'm not a alt person...This is where the hate comes in. I wanted end game content so badly. I always felt the game was never finish because I would hit a brick wall with my char who I put my time into that I did not want to end. Any mmo that hits a wall like this does not feel like a complete mmo. Sure there was stuff to do but it did not feel rewarding like other mmos. Lets not forget the fact that most of my supergroup stayed on City of Hero side this made me quit the game off and on for years.


Reading about City of Rogues I was pretty excited, but when I heard talk about endgame content...I'm amazed and want to thank you guys for at last looking into this. I'm not a alt person as I said. I put time and invested into the one char that I like and want more from him besides farming and badges. I have alot of hope for City of Rogue.

I'm looking forward to everything about Going Rogue. Expanding the lore of some of my characters, the new power sets, and ULTRA MODE. Best expansion yet!


to TO THE END!
Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

First of all... End Game content is a myth in any mmo! As there is no end to the game ever. You can always sk with lower levels... redo everything and anything... What you mean here is things to do after lvl 50!

Now.. if we go and check there is a lot already... obviously that is not enough for you. Compaired to games like Tabula Rasa and Champions Online we have an incredible amound of more content then those. So I can only assume you compair the game contentwise with huge worlds like World of Warcraft. And even there you can run out of stuff to do above the level cap... even so that they are feeling the level cap has to be raised in order for you to level a bit more.

As Preatoria in the Going Rogue expansion has at least content from 1-20 there is a lot of content you can play that you havent seen before excamplared or side kicked! Aside of that there is talk about new 50+ content too!

Going Rogue will let youre hero go Rogue which means he can do all villain content... and get those badges too.

So you should have new things to do...

Sidenote:
- Do you have a completly purple slotted toon yet!?
- Do you have a comletly purple slotted second build yet too!?
- Do you have at least 500+ badges!?
- Have you done all content!? Check the Ouroborous list if you have done all in the list.
- Have you tried the story heavy Arcs in the Mission Architect!? That is thousands of missions... you might need help finding the good stuff though. Start with the devs choices and the guestwriters. Then go check arcs from roleplayers!

No content is what a lot of people say. But still are able to play for up to 5 years here. While some went to Champions Online and ran out of content in 5 months.


- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

New rewards, especially ones that are gated by non-trivial amounts of difficulty/time.

I'm looking forward to the new story arcs, the new NPC factions, possibly a few new S/TF's? Along with the look of the new zones, as I am just dying to see Cole's Tower up close.

Also, the ability to create a Praetorian is interesting to me. I wanna see what we'll be going through in the creation process.

- Do you have a comletly purple slotted second build yet too!?Yes on atleast 7 of them.
- Do you have at least 500+ badges!?No, but if you add all my 50s badges together, I probably have 50,000 badges
- Have you done all content!? Check the Ouroborous list if you have done all in the list.I have done all the content sevral times over...
- Have you tried the story heavy Arcs in the Mission Architect!? That is thousands of missions... you might need help finding the good stuff though. Start with the devs choices and the guestwriters. Then go check arcs from roleplayers!I tried some, havent found much I liked... I wont play any on a cargo ship...

No content is what a lot of people say. But still are able to play for up to 5 years here. While some went to Champions Online and ran out of content in 2 weeks.
I fixed that with accuracy slotted in.

I'm looking forward to the branching morality paths and in-depth discussion of the truly unique culture clash that will come from juxtaposing Paragon City's American mentality of "Freedom is the highest virtue" with the Praetorian mentality that people don't deserve that level of freedom.

If the devs do it right, it will be my favorite thing ever.

Too bad they don't have a badge for killing one billion Behemoths because you'd probably be just about the only person who'd have it.

>.< I am not the only one.
What about a Billion Family badge?
What about a Billion Battle Maiden badge?

None the less, most people I know ran out of stuff to do in that other game within 2 weeks.

You might not have been the only mission farmer out there, but you're easily one of the more "famously boastful" about it here on the forums. To each their own I suppose.

Anyway what other game? Wasn't talking about or implying any other game. *shrugs*

Ironically the background story of my original main character 6 years ago was of a "demon summoner" who turned from the dark side to become a hero. She basically pre-dated not only the side switching concept but the demon summoner powerset as well.

Even though I was too early playing this game to create the exact character concept I was thinking of I'm looking forward to creating a new demon summoning villainess who will be the "prequel" to my original main.

For Going Rogue, I'm excited to try to port over some of my morally dubious characters using the alignment-switching features. For one, I have a character who is a fully-mutated Troll through the use of Superdine who while a Brute, tried to take control of his addiction to fight the good fight, and pound other weaker trolls. He isn't exactly villainous, but it'll make a good Vigilante/Rogue as he violently smashes badguys up.

It'll be pretty fun to explore the Praetorian zone(s) with my main hero, his kinetics will give him the necessary super-travel options to explore all the cool and interesting parts of the new universe.

And considering you can side-switch, and i17's announcement of bringing down the unlock requirement of EATs to Lv20. It'll finally solve my curiosity of whether HEATs and VEATs can also side-switch, and how far.

Some of the Going Rogue collector pack items are also intriguing too. Auras and costume sets and an invisiblity power of some sort (Easier to stealth missions now?) It mentions something about stance emotes. It could be something as simple as new idle emotes or maybe they're bringing out some actual default animations customisations in the same way costume-change emotes first started in the Magic super-booster.

I certainly think it's going to be a whole new game come i17 and GR. I wonder if City of Heroes will finally start to gain precedence over it's competitors. It would be nice if CoH hit top 10 MMOs sometime these next few years.

My husband says he is looking forward to a whole new game.

I am still stuck on Issue 17... and Ultra Mode.

Until we know for sure I would assume these are going to be more like the default stances you can have in Champions Online implemented here as emotes. Champions Online may be an inferior game to CoX in many ways, but it's cool that we can steal some of the few good ideas they did come up with.

New content.

I hope there is a lot of it.

I'm looking forward to side switching. Several of my characters will side swap for various reasons. Most notably, my 50 Scrapper will be heading to the Rouge Isles to search for his brother, who is a villain there.

The "End Game" content has me interested as well.

And I'm really looking forward to new lowbie content. I'm an altoholic, and running the same couple of arcs and contacts over and over gets very boring.

New Content.

New Badges.

I understand some of your points but the main problem with this game has always been the Now what feeling when you hit 50. I mean just because there is a endgame (getting badges farming and such) does not mean that is fun endgame. To some people Raiding, and upgrading your char through it is fun. For others pvp. When someone gets to 50 and I asked want to go farm something most of the time it is always the same. Going to go level my alt on this and this. To some it is fun to level up many alts and such to others it is not. I'm hoping city of rogues will help out the people who don't want to keep leveling alts and want content for the char they enjoy the most. AKA something that they can do because they spent alot of time to work for that fresh 50s could not.

Getting rid of my "heroes" once and for all.

I look forward to blueside Dominators, Masterminds and Brutes; and redside Controllers and Scrappers. I have several characters made with sideswitching in mind; such as Shatterqueen the SS/Shield, who wanted to be a hero but ended up in the Zig because of her temper; Streetrage the Thugs/Therm who is motivated by outrage over being at the bottom of society, and is slated to realize that the heroes offer her a better chance at fairness than dog-eat-dog Arachnos; Blade of Woe ( BS/Fire ) and Mistress of Thunders ( Elec/Shield ) have a cursed sword and shield respectively, and are slated for corruption; Steel Mage the Grav/Psi, created from a pirated and "improved" version of the plans for Tin Mage ( naturally, Tin Mage thought of that possibility and left a heroic trojan in his software specifications... ). And I have several mercenary villains slated to be "paid off by Manticore" to work heroside.
