Villain to Hero cross overs? 

I heard it's coming eventually, but will that let you take all your powers and your character as-is? That would seem to make the statement I heard once "Why play a tank when you could play a brute" valid.

What do you guys think?

By the way, try this neat trick I found: take the url in your address bar and change cityofvillains to cityofheroes and hit enter. Then you can try www instead of either. It doesn't do much, but it's interesting.

RE: Villain to Hero cross overs? 

nobody knows how the transfers will work yet but understand that brutes and tanks are not interchanagable. while I love playing with brutes there have been several times I wish my team had a tank.

edit: ok when did the signature become optional?

RE: Villain to Hero cross overs? 

Ok I won't worry about it then, but what was it about your tank that you wanted? I haven't read too deep yet, but it seems that a Brute hits harder and has rage and isn't really lacking any tank defense.

I only played one tank so I don't know much about them.

brutes can do way more damage than a tank but the defense isn't even close. think of a brute as a scrapper.

RE: Villain to Hero cross overs? 

From what I have heard, it isn't going to be just an "ok I want to switch over to be a hero now" type thing. It will probably be some sort of long trial, or series of missions, so that it wont be easy to switch back and forth.

RE: Villain to Hero cross overs? 

They could try the Fable or KOTOR approach. Like say you have a "Capture Arcon (insert name here)" mission as a hero and when you find the Arcon you get a choice wether to let him go or turn him over to the police and your choice there would score you good or evil points.

RE: Villain to Hero cross overs? 

From what I've heard in snips from the devs on the offical forums it looks like it will be the more solid mission type of deal, or even a task force. All I know is I have some heroes I'm waiting to transfer to CoV and vice-versa.

And, playing both Tanks and Brutes, I can tell you a brute's defenses arent even close - they dont sponge damage nearly as well as tanks, but they do a crapload more damage. I put them somewhere between a scrapper and a tanker.
