I freakin love City of Heroes, I can't get enough of it. And I almost wet myself in anticipation for City of Villains. Any body here who plays City of Heroes, talk about it here! What do ya like about it, what are you looking forward to in City of Villains? Go nuts!

I'd have bought it, but don't wanna pay $15 a month for it. Screw that. Maybe when I get rich I'll do it. I really can't spend $15 a month, and still expect to be able to keep up to date on my comic books.

heh... I dont like the fact that theres no pvp.. just fight NPC's til you fall asleep or log off. Perhaps they'll add it after the whole city of villains thing blows over.

Well, PvP will be included with City of Villains so no worries there. And as for the 15$ a month, it's totally worth it. Plus, the monthly CoH comic is really cool. The art is good and the writing is great. Oh, and capes are being added in the free update that is being released mid-September.

I just dont like the whole idea of roleplaying as generic comic book characters... in a way the game is a parody. I cant really find myself emoting " *Begins plotting world domination against his arch-nemesis 'Destructor' * " ... I would probably need to undergo surgery to prevent the eyes from rolling in the back of my head.

i love CoH just not the paying 15$ a month...

So do you have to pay 15 a month, or is that just for an online thing? I hate playing games where you have to pay money. If i have to pay monthly to play the game, why not give it to me for free instead of making me pay 40$ for somthing i cant even play. can you customize your own hero's?

You can customize, there is no offline... paying the 15 a month is mandatory if you wish to play.

Well, actually there ar edifferent methods of billing.

Billed every-
Month: 14.95 per month
3 months: 13.95 per month
6 months: 12.95 per month
12 months: 11.95 per month

I go by the 3 months. Works pretty well.

The game is awesome, except most of the new features are rip-offs of Stargate.

-Ring transporters for the hospital
-Portal Corp.
-The portals
-Sending military into new dimension
-General Hammond
-Symbiotes

I would assume $ because he's from the United States

I just got it for x-mas. Hopefully i will be playing it soon, it seems like a lot of fun.
Rpg's are my favorite type of computer game, plus its superhero stuff to. So it seems interesting enough.

I heard marvel (or whoever owns xmen lol), is attempting a lawsuit against city of heroes developer because someone made a character that looked exactly like wolverine. (they'll prolly lose the case though.. since theres no real concrete infringement)

They're being sued because the powers and costumes they offer allow users to make heroes that are copyrighted.

Thats really stupid. I mean its a game, and the company did not make it, the player did. People are to anal these days

But I wouldn't be surprised if MGM decided to sue them, too.

That is so gay.

Well, considerring that things such as Wolverine's claws, Wolverines sweep mask, Wolverine's boots, even the marking's on Wolverine's suit are there. I can see why Marvel would be concerned, because the bit's are actually WHOLE. The player cannot make Wolverine's mask by tweaking options, the game actually provides Wolverines mask as it is. It's not like you can take a mask and alter it's appearance to make it look like Wolverine's mask, because it actually looks like Wolverines mask as soon as you find it.

So, in a way, the game has infringed on designs it doesn't have rights to. The player merely assembles the bits to make it look like Wolverine.

It's so obviously done with the intent of matching Wolverine. There are designs based on things like Spider-Mans suit, Cyclops, Captain America, etc etc. All whole pieces that are so obviously ripped off.

But, I perosnally ignore it. Anyone who makes Wolverine or Spider-Man is forgetting the idea of the game.

There's a few non-player characters that bear likenesses to Cyclops (one scientist I saw had the EXACT cyclops visor, only silver)

Also, I haven't seen a rip-off of a character in a long time. Everyone wants to make their dream superhero in this game.

Sure, people may make a Wolverine or a Thing, but it's only for a short time. They get reported anyway and have them took off, so I don't see the problem there anyway. Nobody wants to take a Cap America they've made up to Level 50 anyway. In general, people really want to make their own identity on the servers, and the best way to do that is by making a totally unique character.

Mimmicking an existing character turns out to be a very empty, and lonely affair anyway.

Don't know if this has been stated, but...

CoV will be a separate game by itself, like CoH. If you have both CoH and CoV, you can have teh PvP pwnage.

ok....but will the CoV game cross over with the CoH game? like if i had the CoH game and you had the CoV game would we still be able to fight eachother? cuz that would be sweet, making the two games on one "world".

Damn i wish i had the money to get City of Heroes and Villains.

Id love to make a Green Goblin and a Sinister clone

I have never gotten into MMORPG because I don't have to opportunity to get online as much as I would like because of reasons.
But I would like to. Hopefully when I go away to college in a couple months, I'll be able to since I'll have a lot of freedom than I have at home and a lot more freetime up there to do what I want. And hopefully my mom will pay the monthly bill, cause I don't want to.

If i do buy COV,im gonna make a guy like Joker

If I got it, I would make a flying super hero who can either control weathe and stuff like that or a telekinetic.
I don't want super strength and stuff like that cause that would be easy and one of many other super strenght characters.

you gotta get to like level 14 before you can fly.. cuz at level 6 you get hover which is pretty slow.. you need to enhance it alot just to make it decent speed

well "dat" sucks.

Well good news. I bought the game yesteday, and my mom agreed to pay monthly charges for me, also while I am in college which i start on august 21. So that's good.
It's also convenient how the first month is prepaid for you.
The only thing is my computer is real slow at times and I don't know how that will affect gameplay so I don't know if I should start it right now.
Plus right now I am reading the manual before I play the game, god it's long. I am on page 30.
Did yall read it.
Well I can't wait to play, but I get so over whelmed when I have so many choices to make so I know it's going to take me forever to design my superhero and pick a name and a background story and all that. But I already know what type of hero I am going to pick.
And I don't plan on joining any teams. But if I do I would only join with anybody it would only be with one other person if we became close enough friends.
I may choose to let a third person enter through group but only if they were a defender, but that's all.
But the plan is to be a loner, but you never know.
I am just glad that I finally have a MMORPG. This is my first. It was between this and the Matrix Online game.
I am kind of regretting choosing this over that because this has been out for a year and there will be many experienced and high leveled players and I will be probably one of few inexperienced players and left behind in everything and won't be able to what the others are doing because I'll be weak in level.
And the matrix just came out a while ago so I'll be one of the beginners and with everybody else and by the time it's been out for a while I'll be one of the experienced ones.
But I decided to get COH and the Matrix later.
I hope I don't regret it.
But I am still glad I got it.

hate to break it to ya powerful but fly is also the slowest travel power in the game.

what made you tell that to me. Did i write something about in another post or something? I can't remember.And I don't feel like reading.

What other ways of travel are there, and which one's the fastest?

I've been planning on getting City of Villains, soI figured I'd learn about City of Heroes first...

I got city of heroes, and I love it.
Can anyone iform me on the prices for making extra characters?

Um.. nevermind its free. I forgot that all the people on that game ar nice and helpful.

so how long have you had the game and been playing cause i just got it but won't play it until i get my new laptop and go away to college and i leave on August 21 and will have my laptop real soon, i would have gotten it yesterday but they didn't have the one i wanted.

I've had it for a couple months, but just recently started playing it, 'cause the serial key I got was stolen before I bought it. So I had to get a new one.

well that sucks.

by the way, what's a serial key?
and how did you get another one?

I didn't know also before I got the game that you pick one server to play on with one character so you won't be with every body in the water just a portion of them because there will be a bunch of other people in other servers. That sucks , and I only plan on making one character.
What server did you choose? Are they the same servers for each person?

sorry for all the questions?

I've got 3 characters so far:

Fusion Mantis in Pinnacle
Biohazard-Man in Champion
Professor J in Virtue

http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/6442/professorj0af.jpg

So do you like the game a lot?
What does "Champion" "Virtue" and "Pinnacle" mean?

They are different servers.

And yes I do like the game alot, I play it all the time.
I find it especially awesome that you can have 88 heroes for the price of one.

Is there a particular server better than the rest or more populated than the others and how many servers are there?

Bump*

This game is to awesome to be buried. Im beta testing CoV ATM the game looks amazing its gonna be so much fun go out and preorder it now! I've got 2 beta accounts so if anyone wants to try it out I'd be willing to give away, for some $$ of course

There are eleven servers, theres about three of em that usually more loaded than others their names escape me ATM.

OO screenshots ive got a bunch

The norm is to usually either take hover or air superiority just cause you have to and not waste slots in it. But this wont be possible anymore because of they recent sweeping changes being made to the game.

I used to play this a while ago, but cancelled in August because it got very boring, very quickly.

I bought COH this summer but I still haven't played it yet.

huh, why wouldnt you after buying it

Well i bought to take away with me to my freshmen year of college to play on my new laptop and finally play a MMORPG, but college is just so much for me right now and I never find the time.

I even read up to like the 88th page of the instruction manual for preparation.

Not really a good thing actually its WAY out of date.

Well that's reassuring after I spent the money on it

This is very frustrating. So what are you saying? I shouldn't even bother playing it?

No Im just saying dont refer to the manual for info on the power sets since its out of date. Instead check out the forum at the official website for the most detailed stats.

OH, so you are saying that the book is out of date not the game.

i thought you were talking about the game.

So how is the island PvP thing?.. anyone have any screenies of themselves beatin someone to a pulp?
