Make sure to find out what your global chat handle is so that we can find you regardless of which toon you're on. Mine is @Demacian and I, too, just joined recently so we'll be close to the same level when my copy of Good vs Evil arrives.
If you level up your blaster some, I've currently got a level 14 controller that would love to do missions with someone who can kill the whole room. (I've got the room mezzed but it's... dying... really... really....slowly.......)
Welcome to Victory. Beware the iron paw of justice and black magic, inc.

Thanks for the heads up Penny. I believe my global chat is tudolf. So feel free to add me.
Why is that _Ryxx_
New bodies entering the world. We don't see that often.

Because I don't see a lot of new people around, especially not on the forums when they're new, and ESPECIALLY not with proper spelling and sentence structure. Welcome welcome!
*edit*
Also good practice is to refer to people's names without the underscores (names have to be at least 5 characters long for forums, I think it was), so just call me Ryxx. 
Flux has a similar story, and there are others as well with short names.
And Elegost and I are not the same person, no matter what anyone tells you.

How do I join those channels?
Yeah I like going on the forums and talking on there and stuff, same with a guild if they have a website and stuff mostly on there. Just looking for some buddies to play the game with and have some fun.

Not sure if Victory Forum still auto silences people or not. If so, look at the member list and send a tell to one of the freaks with OP status (white star or something next to their name)
I've already forgotten about most of you
I've sent an invite for Victory Forum to @Tudolf.
@JohnP - Victory
Thank everyone. Once I get done off from work will jump on those channels and chat some stuff up? Plus hows pvp in the game? Heard it was kinda blah and no one does them anymore.

We will be starting up another Boot Camp in a month or so, you can potentially get involved there to learn the ropes.
The current system is a bit borked, especially in zones. Arena PvP is still very fun, however. It requires *some* cash and using Ventrilo is pretty much required.
This Boot Camp we're currently running will end in roughly 2 weeks I think? If you have some time, you can read through that thread to get some ideas of how things work (movement, evading, spiking, disrupting, etc).

PvP in this game is 'interesting'.
There is a bit of learning curve because there are two sets of rules in this game. Your character's powers/shields/resistances work one in PvE and another way in PvP.
One of the nice things that has been implemented was the use of dual (now triple) builds. This allows you to have one character who has a PvE build and another build that could be spec'd for PvP.
I find PvP in this game to be a great break from the same old PvE tactics. After a while fighting the same groups in the same missions resulting in the same outcomes can get a bit a boring. With PvP at least you are fighting someone who can(should) adapt and learn from your tactics and may act(react) in surprising ways.
Currently, I would say there are three types of PvP in this game:
1) Zone- there are large maps where anyone can enter and PvP against players of the opposite faction (there is one exception to this). These zones have different levels: 15-20 Bloody Bay, 20-30 Sirens Call, 30-40 Warburg (this zone is a complete free for all, you can attack your own faction as well), 40-50 Recluse Victory. Each zone has a 'mini-game' attached to it that can lead to nice temp powers. 99.5% of the time all the zones on Victory are a ghost town. Which honestly, I am ok with. Zone PvP in my opinion was always the worst PvP in the game. Sides were never even,and there was way too much broadcast PvP.
2) Duels- some people call this fight clubbing. People want to test their builds 1v1 against other opponents. This is done in both zone or arena. In zone you are affected by the PvP rules of travel suppression, heal decay, diminishing returns as well as the PvP inherent resistances. While in arena you can turn all of these off except the PvP inherent resistances.
3) Arena team PvP- team matches or free for alls, set up to run in instanced maps via the 'arena terminal' you used to have to travel to a specific location to access a terminal now it is in your options menu. I find this type of PvP to be the most fun, as you can play a buff/debuff/disruption type of character which may not be as successful in zone or duels, so there are a lot more options of what to play.
Having said all that, success in PvP come from 4 things: Having the right build (this might be the most important part), skill (maybe the 2nd most important), 'gear' (this is what turns a lot of players off from PvP is the expense that it takes to fully outfit a character for PvP can be more then a casual player will ever see after years of playing the game), and luck.
If you are interested in City of Heroes PvP I know those of us running PvP University and PvP Boot Camp would welcome you to our event which should be starting up in the next month or so. It will be low key, low cost, entry level pvp, designed to help people understand the differences between the PvE and PvP game.

I usually with a pvp group ganking other members. I been pvping around 2 years in a way on and off really. But some people I heard say its not worth it, but in my way I think so since you are fighting another person.

What do yall think about Rogue?
Hello, Just bought the COH Rogue edition and fixing to make a toon. I played this game couple of years ago, but I am looking for a group of buddies to play with. Played other MMO like World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online, Aion, darkfall. Think I'm going to be a blaster Dual Pistols/Energy. So hit me up names going to be Tudolf in the game once I set it up. Can't wait to play.
