    I love the amount of diversity in this game so far.  I would love to see more blending of the city of heroes and city of villians concept.  Maybe even to the point of having standard missions that balance groups going into the instances, then adding NPC's to balance the difficulty for both sides.  Have these shared missions actually effect the playing world on the outside, as far as safe regions and hero noteriety.  I think this would be much more advantageous to gameplay, than new power sets.

    CoH and CoV are very fun, and interactive!

    CoH might be the best game i ever played! :)

    Always on the top of my list when surveyed about where I want development time spent.

    They're not easy though. Firstly, you really want to avoid the sitation where different sets have different names and different colors, but otherwise play exactly the same. That's boring and diminishes the value of both.

    Secondly, new art is required, and the ones that do that are also the ones designing new zones, enemies, costumes, etc.

    Thirdly, each new powerset you add has to be balanced. That's tough enough even with existing choices, and lets face it - these devs aren't rocket scientists at the math.

    Now all that about new Powersets, is 10x as true for a new Archetype.

    That said, I'm quite certain by the end of the year we'll have a few new powersets and almost certainly a villain epic AT as well.

    Currently playing:
    DC Universe
    Planetside 2
    Magic Online
    Simunomics, the Massive Multiplayer Economic Simulation Game. Play for free.
