Can you elaborate?
Maybe I could respect my pre-order...maybe not. I really dont like the Hamidon, top new PvP exclusive ways to abuse PvE...not sure I should even bother to try, but I am listening.
What is making this game great? Go ahead, convince me, I WANT to be charmed and convince in all honesty, I am just quite doubtful with this way of rewarding PvP at the expense of PvE on top of the Hamidon...but I am still listening.
EDIT: NDA = Non-Disclosure-Agreement, basically you can't talk...but he say it is lifted and yet he say nothing...so I want to make him talk.

Keep my nipples out of this.
I first of all love the new archetypes. Mastermind is a fun new and different class. There's Brutes who get a lovely power called Rage that means when they start kicking butt, they REALLY get more powerful.
The missions are fun. Bank robberies, Kidnappings. It is just such a different approach. One great addition is getting missions out of the newspaper. Gone are the days of running around talking to this guy and that guy. You're a criminal making a reputation for yourself. Once you earn "street cred" as the kids call it these days, they hook you up with a heist or something else fun.
Ya ask about PVP? Well, I can't really test it because there's no hero side to throw down against.
As the Evil Midnight Bomber what Bombs at midnight said... "He said do you wanna be EVIL, and I said YEAH baby YEAH"
Being good is fun, being bad is better.

I'm enjoying the Hell out of it also. Although I work weird hours now, so I've barely gotten out of the tutorial zone. I keep hoping they won't boot me for non-participation.
But I think it's great. It's really gonna give this game a much needed kick in the ass.
Can't wait to start building a base !

I have to say this guys, for future reference.
All these great things you are experiencing and hearing about CoV are a simple bait-and-switch.
You have all witnessed what has been happening to CoH over time, and this expansion is FURTHER nerfing everybody in the game.
And yet...CoV is not nerfed, it is THAT MUCH more fun? The Villain ATs are that much more powerful, that much more interesting?
How long do you really think that will be allowed to continue? You know by now that they will have to balance CoH versus CoV, especially since it's bringing out all-out PvP action.
And given that Statesman has chosen his methods of balance, by negative changes to your archetypes and the game in general, my honest guess is that by mid-January, some three months hence, the entire game is going to be going through a massive nerf rollercoaster.
This has happened so many times in recent game development history, that you would think people would know better.
I for one, given past experience with Jack Emmert, would NEVER trust him to maintain a decent level of fun game play. Like I said, the only reason this will go live as is, is simply because they want you to buy the expansion, and they are pulling a bait-and-switch.
Now - who wants to make wagers?
I am already saving this link for future reference. I am going to love the necro.
Does that make me a necrophiliac?

Im with ya Wepps!
Can I be on your side? 
Stalkers Assassin power is gonna get nerf'd especially with the one shotting other people.
Griefers and Abusers gonna love that power.
This company likes to downgrade as time goes on. Improvements dont happen.
First, its great. then, they downgrade everything over time, then people complain, then the company says, im sorry. Hardcore players say afterwards "its okay, i believe you! just improve it afterwards." then, another downgrade patch. and another "Im sorry guys!"
p.s. even though, Im checking out CoV, im not buying CoV.
I haven't seen a nerf in CoH yet I haven't agreed with.
If I quit games because I thought they'd screw it up, I'd have quit SWG over a year ago.
CoV is fun.
AND ALL THIS WEEKEND THE TEST SERVERS ARE OPEN!!!!!!

I think they will change the brutes a little before it goes live.

I was disappointed personally. Not simply because for the most part it's COH. But I simply don't feel like I am a villian in City of Villians. I want to go on the street and beat people up. Can't do that. In fact you go up to them and they say stupid things like "You have been on the prowl for 2 hours!". I'm a big scary villian and the citizens act like i'm nothing. Everything I did, felt exactly like I felt when I was a hero.
I have to say i am very happy with CoV so far. The new zones fit villians very well and the detail...wow. Going in to testing i was not sure on the flipping of the powers, but i love being able to have damage and group buffs. I can't wait for this to go live... with them keeping the monthly fee the same this is a no brainer.

You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
The Green Goblin also wouldn't be walking around a city without people running in fear.
Villians do things that are a lot worse than beating up kids.
Thugs beat up kids.
You just contradicted yourself... Green Goblin was a villian

this is one of those times where I'm going to not say much, other than I'm really looking forward to CoV.
the end.
so...

LotD likes it and will be establishing a sub-chapter for CoV. We'll be looking for skilled players who want to run with an established guild, and who are willing to earn their way in.

Nice that we can come to an agreement when SWG isn't involved.
I just tried the Dominator. Boy do I like that class.. much better than a controller.

No I did a full psionics build. Fun tearing them up.
Glad I'm not doing Clockwork missions though.

One thing to consider when bashing COH for the nerfs is that although nerfs have been made to game they have not drastically effected the game play. Let me just give you a quick example. The worst tanker before Issue 5 (the last update) was a Ice Tanker. They only had def with no resistance to anything. Their two top armors (wet ice and energy absorption) were completely taken away as defensive power. However, my ice tank can basically do exactly what he did before. It was a little crazier before issue 5 however, I could herd as many as I wanted and never have a chance of dying, now I can herd mostly what I wanted and 90% of the time never have a chacne of dying. Were my powers nerfed? Yes, very much so. Did it effect how I play? No, not really.
Just remember this, COH is one of the best games out there, period. The fluid nature of combat, the rich environments and ease of use are simply hard to compare to other games.
