They add 10 levels and the Patrong Powers, the pet (3rd one) is nice, but the other are average at best.

 

Masterminds now can have THUGS pets, which are unique and differents.

 

Brutes can now be Electric...and I love it...short story, best resists in game, no defense at all, no self healing, no hps buffs, but many endurance-oriented powers.  I love these!  And...a /fire corruptor is just perfect for these new brutes!  See, with your shields, the resists are near cap in EVERY damage source (except psi which are still at around 40%, which is still quite good).  Electric brutes tend to be independant, but a good /fire will invariably wins their heart if you know what you are doing and keep them buffed, as with your buffs, they are the best tanks out there, better than a rock!  But, they relly on your buffs...and your heals! 

 

They add Grandville, which is a vertical city, if you travel solely with superspeed, you won't move much.  Players call it lagville, cause it lag a lot more than elsewhere, yet, it is manageable IMO.  They also add Recluse Victory, a PvP zone for high level, where heroes/Archvillains spawn and fight for the losing side.  There are new dungeons, new caves.  Pocket D features special events at holidays to group heroes.

 

I9 isn't live yet, but the new inventions are going to be sweet.  It is like in Diablo you collect a set to gain extra benefits, so here you will craft a set to gain the extra benefits by slotting it into your powers...

Yeah if you havent been around for awhile i would come back and check things out! New power sets,zones, and costumes added!

Plus I9 is right around the corner and i suspect that the new invention system is goning to add a huge element to the game!

hm, well I felt the game was repititive I think on my 32 ma/regen scrapper but I still came back after a few months and had a lot of fun. yes, I did end up quitting again but overall I was there for like 9+ months. yeah sry to hear bout vanguard and i know how it feels to be bored with WoW. I got tired of the serious dry spell PC games been going through and got an xbox360 to get through these dark times. In any case, hope you have fun if you resub. look for amasir post on CoH forum to see how u can tryout the free trial or maybe it wont hurt to just put down the $15 to at least see if you might enjoy an EM/ELA brute . there is some good guides for em/ela on brute forums just read those and put Brawl on fury and watch the bodies hit the floor!!!

edit- ev1 had good posts put most importantly #1 is to find a good supergroup. That will make the game infinetly more fun and the extra bonus is you dont get the drama like u would have in WoW over getting ganked/griefed/ or ninja looted hehe it will be a nice vacation for you and you'll enjoy the comeraderie on ventrillo (yes real SGs use Vent even for PvE but I guess the SG chat is okay too). my advice is to search your realm forums and maybe ask around. if all else fails just join the biggest supergroup lol

If you are interested in power customization I would look into the invention/auction house system of the upcoming issue 9.  They have setup an entire forum for it.  That forum does have quite a bit of Dooooom in it, though.



The various set bonuses do look pretty interesting.  They can add things you normally can't get, like psionic reisstance or extra endurance recovery or extra recharge rate or run speed, but you may pay a penalty in overall bonuses.  Or maybe not.  They also have things like  damage procs instead of boosts, for example  you can add a chance for a psionic damage proc onto a fear power.  Supposedly you can use invention to make temp powers too, not sue what though.



I will be curious if its possible to get enough endurance recovery to get rid of stamina in some builds.
