I'll definitely be buying into City of Villains, I plan on making an archenemy for my current main, Magnus Star (level 50 Inv/SS Tanker).

I'm looking forward to the variety the new CoV archetypes (Mastermind, Brute, Enforcer, Stalker, and Dominator) will bring to the game.

I haven't kept up with the CoV news (I just heard the archetype names for the first time a couple days ago), but I'm certain I'll be put time into it. CoH is just so much fun... I'm looking fwd to CoV as well.

Yep, cant wait for CoV. I have had it preordered for quite some time now. I will be remaking my villians (Costumes will be as close as possible) over to the CoV Engine.

I'm going to have to choose between Darkest Night, Howling Twilight, and Fearsome Stare. Already have Tar Patch, and, yes, it is very useful.

What about from your secondary set? Or Pools?

When is it supposed to be released?

I'm so glad there is an official Heroclix COH thread now. I've tried using the COH fourms and it's not working for me. I don't usderstand how to navigate (probalby spoiled with this system at the realms and don't want to learn). Thanks WebHead for the thread. I have a lot of heroes on multiple sites. Where do ya'll play and what days, times, do ya'll play? I'll be sure to find a way to hook up with ya'll and play. I've been trying to get GG into the game as well. He just got a new comp. so maybe i'll take it over there and show him. As far as your enhancements go they have PRO's on the Forums at COH that know all about the effects, %'s that give at what levels, these guys must have no life or work for COH to know all this. Anyway, I learned from a guy while playing about some enhancements. I't funny b/c it started off where I helped him b/c he was being over run by enimies (little did I know he had everything under control) So, I helped him and he says to me, "thanks for the xp steal" I was like, "dude I thought you needed help, I hate it when ppl run by me and I'm getting mobbed and get killed and know one helps me." He then explained how to kill mass groups easy w/his char. and taught me to do it with mine. I have a:

Scrapper: Claws/Regen and I 6 Slotted Spin w/ DO Damage Enhance and then Got follow up and Slotted it. Now I do like 90 to 100 per group I hit w/ my spin, it's crazy. Can kill like a whole group w/just 2 spin attacks, usually.

I play on Freedom as Fly By currently (as noted above)...I'm generally on from about 10pm to Midnight est the nights I get to play.

The assumption that I didn't mention is that at some point you've found "in-between" enhancements that you've managed to combine with your 15++, so that they're better than the "base" ones that you can buy, but still not as good as the next level that you'll be able to buy. Mostly because lwer-level enhancements would max out at ++ earlier than the next level that you could buy, because, well, they're lower level.

There's so much randomness in enhancements that you find that it's probably just as useful to find a method that you fully understand, even if it doesn't make the absolute most efficient use of enhancements. After a while it becomes irrelevant because you always have some much influence to burn anyhow. My main character has 6 million sitting around doing nothing. There should be some kind of influence investment program.

*spit choke*

What? 6 Million? My level 11 guy hovers around 5000 - 7000, and I forsee myself being "broke" soon when I want to upgrade to level 15 enh.'s at level 12...how is it that you end up with that much? Do you ever gift it to people? I'd love to hit someone up for even a small percentage of that...

It's all about the difficulty. I upped mine to invincible on Noble Dark (35 Dark/Dark Scrapper on liberty) and I have about 1 mil on him. It usually gathers up, takes a small hit for an upgrade, and then continues. I just got though a small enhancement crisis, where all of mine ran out and I was broke. I got a friend to help there. Right now I'm fully stocked on SO's.

Though at the earlier levels it could be easier to participate in costume contests. I just held one recently where the winner received 100 thousand, and anyone who joined in got 20000. I'm generous like that.

Hmm, I always thought those were a joke. Apparently they can be worthwhile after all.

I got my level 35 Energy/FF WHo is sitting on 4.5 Million. Me and Bethell have given away a Couple of Mill to other Team Members.

So, if I were out adventuring, and struck up a conversation with a 30+ level guy, asking for a couple of thousand points wouldn't be much, would it?

The best way to get influence when your low level is costume contests in atlas. Asking for free influence is just annoying.
