I Have been a Coh Player Since the Start of Issue 3, Cov Since beta. I Have played Both Sides And have Many Toons Pinnacle i have My 'hero's   Few lvl 50's Then A Few Lvl 40's then a Few more Down the List. So Yea, I Played Out hero Side Before Villains Came Out.. Then On Justice,  I have My Villains.. 4 Lvl 50's then a Few lvl 40's and a few 30's then Down the list.. i Have Played Out BOTH Sides of this game.. i dont Plan on Going back to heros After i played it So long.. And i want to stay a Villain.. Here's my Problem......

I thnk Heros have 27 Zones. Compared to Villains 7? witch to me = WTF??? O wait We Have the  4 Zones that Bother Sides Share for PvP.

Heros have 5 AT's with 2 Unlockable AT's u get When u have a Lvl 50 to make a total of 7 AT's, Villains Get 5 At's yea just 5, No unlockables STILL!!!!! O then there is the fact that Each Hero AT's Gets More Power Sets compared to How many options The Villains get.. So u have More Combonations of type of At's u can Make for Heros then u Do Villains..

Now Lets Move on to everything that maid Cov, well Diffrent Form Coh when it was Released. Like Powe Sets,  Costume Peices, Missions.. Well Now, Heros Have All these things as well.. They Have All the Costume Peices that was once a Villain Only thing, Bokers Turned into Detectives For Heros, Papers Mish's Turned Into Police band Mish's, Mayhems Have turned into Safegurds..  And for the Furture i have Heard talks of Bringing Over Villain Only Power Sets to the Heros Side I.E Plant Dom's to Plant Controller ninjistsu Stalkers into ninjistsu Scrappers, Electric Brutes into Electic Tanks Etc.... But no Talks Of Bringing Any More powers Form the Heros Set's to Villains?  but they Still Add more content to heros and leave Villains Go..

Were Im going With All of this is.. Everthing that Made Villains diffrent form hero's the Heros Now have... not to mentions Everyone Seems to Have Allot Less Lag playing Heros then Villains, hell i know people that Quit the Game because they Could Never Run in grandville, Most Villains Renamed it LaggVille!!

Now here We Go. More New hero Content and the Vilains get Left out.. Just About everyone i have played with Ether Quit the Game or Just Quit Vllains and started playing Heros Again becasue heros Got All the Shit Villains Once Had to themselfs,  and they have less Lagg with More Zones to Play in!!! the Main thing that gets me the Most is.. The Epics For villains.. I think its a Huge Joke How fast the epics was Released for heros think it was like 5 or 6 months? Here We Are over a year into Villains and they STILL have not released them!!

Then theres those Great ITEM"S OF POWER!!!! o yea remember those? u know the Things that Was the Point of Doing Base raids??? what ever Happen to them anyways, after almost a year of talking about them, they Finally release them, Just to Yank the Carpet out Form under us and Pull the SF/TF to get them, do to Buggs that After Months and Months Still have not been Fixxed!!  i see no say about them in issue 9 coming up? So what We Suposed to Wait Untill issue 10 now?? or 11?? that was a Key Selling Point Of villains when it was released Make Sg, Build Sg up, Get IOP, Base Raid, Defend Base!!  WITH no iOP'S base raiding Is Meaning less.. If u want to PvP as a group just to The the Arena or A PvP Zone.. Not to Mention All the Freaking Buggs with Raiding!! My Sg is the #1 Sg on justice Server, Misfit Villains!! But Even We Gave Up On base raiding Because of the Buggs, Out Last Raid Was Months Ago Vs the #3 Sg  , And it was A freaking Joke! in 60 mins of Attacking The Other Sg's Base, Every Member Has Dc's At lease 10 Times Each During the Raid.. the most was 22 times if i recall, Then the Biggest Joke was We Had 1 of there Gens Down, and Was Working On the Second, Then Everyone Form Both sides of the Raid D/c'd And when We came back Both Gens in there Base reset to Full Life!! needless to say it was A Huge Waist of time.. We Could Have All Gone to the Arena or Sirens.. I mean If We Was raiding For a IOP At least we Could have had Somthing as a Reward!!

 

The Bottem Line.. Im Done with this game... 2 Years and a few months. With Little to Look forward to In villains.. and Damm if im jumping back to heros.. and it looks like Just About Everone i play with Is Doing the Same, Just Look at How Many People Are Playing anymore Compard to the Way it use to be..  other then Freedom and viture Server Witch Seeem to Be were Everyone that Is Still playing Have Jumped too.. there is not Many people on..  i might return in the furture But im sure that wont be for  at least 6 months or So.. i want a Epic AT to Come out On Villains before i do Start pumping More monthly Money into this game..

The New Inventions System Looks nice in all, But thats Just Not Enough for Me to keep Playing Villains.. LOOK OUT MMO"s IM looking for a new one of you to Start playing!

 

 

 

"In addition, the Villains get their very own “Hamidon zone” in the Abyss."

It seems to be overlooked, but villains are getting some new stuff too!!!!!  I believe Hami is a 40+ raid, so I'll look forward to it.

Yea, Why they wasted time  re-making a New Worthless faultline Zone in hero's a worthless Zone that nobody ever went to before, And STILL Is meaning less to go to., now add New Stateman SF, Somthing Else that was a "Villain" thing Only to get a Hammi O,  Well Suprize Suprize!  Heros Get there very own Sf for Hammis now as well, Mean while Villains get a Scaled Down Boring Ass Hammi raid?? i  hated doing Hammi raids on heros, u would have 50+ people and up there,  and only about Half Fighting, the other Half Afk watching Tv or somthing because they got tired of it, then the other 25 Would all want to Give Others oders and Flame People for Not doing what they wanted.. I rather Do The Sf to get my hammi"s, and i was Happy that It was a Villain Only thing..

Heres the Bottom Line NcSoft

Villains is dying and its dying fast,, i'm sure u know this.. and this is how u pump life back into it.. So get Up off ur ass's and Make this happen

#1 Release The Lvl 50 Unlockable AT's for Villains.. DO IT NOW!!!  

#2 Release at least 1 new Zone Any lvl range Would be nice, But i would Perfer a lvl 40 to 50 Zone.. Somthing other then Being Forced to Play in  Laggville Opps i mean Grandville  form Lvl 40 thru 50.. AND I DONT MEAN Another PVP ZONE!!!! that "Both" Sides Share! Hell Even a Zone that would Allow Both Heros and Villains to "Team up" And play in would Be nice lvl 40 to 50 range that is.   

#3 Release the Freaking Items of Power Already!!! yea the IOP"S!!! make base's be for somthing other then Some place to Go to use Porter's or Store stuff in, and on that note change the permissions so that People can Take from the Inspnitations And Enhancment bens but cant take form the Salvage racks... This would Open it up more for people cuzz Most Sg leaders have there Settings Ranked HIGH! in fear Of New Recurits Stealing all there Salvage, witch Makes most members in a sg un able to store anything in there base..

These are the BIg 3!!!!! that Should have happen a long time ago IMO.. There is other things i can list as well that i would love to see done, But lets not get ahead of ourselfs, Just Do what should have been done already...

So can someone explain this to me?  Does Garrett Fuller work for NCSoft or something?  Because here on MMORPG.com it says "News Editor Garrett Fuller sits down with Matt "Positron" Miller, the Lead Designer for Cryptic Studios' City of Heroes / Villains about Issue 9, the game's next free expansion."

But everywhere else where this interview is posted, this is an inhouse interview and NOT an outside media outlet.

And this is the heading that goes along with the interview that seems to be missing:

"This internally produced Q&A with lead developer Matt "Positron" Miller takes you through all the highlights of "Breakthrough"

This was done accidentally by the company.

Garrett Fuller, who is our News Editor, wrote those questions for an exclusive Q&A. Through that I can only assume was an error, this was released elsewhere as an "in-house" Q&A.

Hope that clears things up

Yep sure does.  Had me scratching my head there for a while.

Thanks.
