Check it out!

Making all aware that we have a temporary spot for people to discuss CoV. Now I know we are a CoH fansite but at this moment Gameamp doesn't have a CoV site. This will provide a place to discuss all the going on's till we get something official.

Feel free to talk about anything CoV related and just have fun. All we know now is what we are given in small tidbits but as the end of the year approaches more information will be given and we will post.

CoH and CoV will be so intertwined that I don't think it will really be an issue having them mixed together on the site.

Re: Check it out!

Yeah I could see it too but I think there will be people who will only play CoV, yes the world can be that evil. But do you think evil dictators or real criminals of the world will play CoV?

If you think about it some of us have dreamed about being Heroes and some of us are (doctors, fireman, military, police, teachers, or the list can go on and on). But do real life villians or people who wish to be evil desire a game to play where they can really be supervillains?

i have dreamed of being a supervillian... how i would take the full auto into a crowded mall... or how i would nuke my town if given half the chance (and a nuke)... but these reasons are the ones i kinda want to stay away from cov... i mean anyone can be evil... being a hero is the hard choice

Re: Check it out!

Psychologically, I think CoV is a good thing. It will allow people to act out on those evil and villainous impulses without having to worry about doing it in real life. I'll probably play it for a while, I don't imagine that I'll be as interested in it as I am in CoH, but it'll probably be interesting for a few months anyway.

As far as we understand you will fight both evil npc, good npc, good heroes (real players), and maybe even evil villains (real players). From some of the available screenshots you can see a villain created fighting what looks to be Lord Recluses minions (you can spot spider symbol on their chest). Some other screenshots show villains fighting Hero Corp NPC's. Yet another photo I have seen shows a villain fighting a Tsoo warrior. Skulls can be spotted in backgrounds.

So with all this information we can assume that you will fight all. Villains arent restricted to fighting only heroes!

Maybe we can rob them or kidnap but killing NPC's I really, really doubt. This game has no real death so I doubt CoV would introduce death.

Re: Check it out!

Maybe they'll let us mug each other. Imagine a single level 50 standing under Atlas. The day is calm...The birds are singing. Suddenly, 20 level 5s jump the 50, beat him to a pulp, and run off with all of his influence. It would definitely change the dynamic. :)

Man what game are you playing where 20 level 5's jump a 50! I could probably take 100 level 5's and not even dip below 95% health.

I think the way the game is going is that there will be certain zones where CoV and CoH can interact but I doubt CoV will be able to enter any zone below +20. That could be a massacre if a level 50 villian strolled into Atlas and started to lay waste to the low heroes! Funny but horrible!

Re: Check it out!

Police Drones...

My way of thinking is that CoV will have it's own zones. CoH will have it's own zones. There will also be zones that "interact"...whether it's new zones or existing "Hazard Zones". They've also said that PvP will be TOTALLY optional.

Now, I'm not sure if that means that by going IN to one of the "mixed" zones, you're opening yourself up to PvP or if you'll actually be prompted to allow it when someone tries. I think it would make sense that if you go into a PvP allowed zone, you become vulnerable to attack. I imagine no missions would be set in any of the PvP zones if it were to be considered optional though.

We'll find out soon enough, I'm sure.

Re: Check it out!

Personally, I'm looking forward to CoV, especially after seeing the screenshots and the new video they released. I know the video doesn't actually show any in-game play but it was still sweet.

Now, I'm not excited for the PvP they're providing. I haven't even been to the arena since it went live. But the prospect of being a villain and creating secret underground volcano lairs *pinky to lip* is too much to pass up.

Also during that 180 seconds, it'll be like herding Rikti monkeys except lvl 5 heroes. Maybe a badge for killing 10000 lvl 5 or lower heroes? Now that would be cool!

Level Differences

Here's a problem I'm worried about-

There HUNDREDS of lvl 50's in each server. If CoV players start at lvl 1, how will they be able to beat all the heroes with expirience? I mean, I hope the CoH players don't have to restart, but they would have an unfair advantage.

CoV isn't all about PvP. It's totally optional. Plus, there are enough people out there where you'll see L50 villains within weeks of the go-live date. Not to worry, it will balance quickly.

Re: Check it out!

Honestly, I don't think PvP will be allowed outside of the Arena and SG raids. Otherwise, the game would be thrown into turmoil. Even with a PvP zone, it would be too ridiculous to allow open combat. The result would be groups of thugs hanging near the entrances picking people off. A lvl 50 might be hard against 20 lvl 5s, but I doubt he would have much of a chance against a coordinated sniper shot from a team of 8 lvl 25+. In the end, people would become frustrated and consider finding a new outlet for gaming fun.

Re: Check it out!

From what I understand about the PvP is that it works along the same lines as the team/SK/Exemp lines. Basically, you challenge someone and they have tpo except. Then and only then can you fight someone outside of raids and arenas. Of course, this is just heresay I heard on the game but personally, I like that idea.

One thing that springs to mind for me is naming your villain. Think of how many evil named heroes you see in a day. Hopefully, you can pick names that are already in CoH. If not, then already the selection has been slimmed down. If so, I wonder how talking to people will be effected.

e.i. There's a hero named Darkfire and a villain named Darkfire. Someone in CoV in a CoH/CoV combined zone tries to talk to one. Who does he get a hold of?

LvLs

I think there should be more lvls added, at least when there are enough lvl 50 villans. There are already lvl 50 Warshades and Peacebringers.

You know do you think that they would ever put in something how you could go into the arena and fight your way up into the ranks and become an epic villain. Like a Statesman sort of person you are in charge or something like that. I mean that would be awesome for both games

Re: Check it out!

what i dislike is the fact that the archetype i always wanted blaster was (Range attact/defence) gonna be a vilain AT.
In a blaster duel whit nthose AT vilain (range/melee vs range/defence) and blaster will most probably lost every time.

the base thing if i remember well my reading gonna be vilain but may be hero too if you buy the vilain cd. but nothing sure about that.

i like the base thing, im gonna buy the cov only to be able to attack them, this gonna be crasy to try to get over this whit all the trap/security system and whatever they say they will put inside.

i tryed the Arena 1 time and quit before the end, that was riduculous. im an ice blaster and nothing wanted to stick. couldn slow that scrapper or that controller couldnt do thenm consistent damage but get riped apart pretty good. There some stuff i didnt understant it seem and i disliked it so much im not interested to retry.
