Hi!! Do we need to purchase an additional account to play cov if we already have coh. Will there be an additional monthly fee if we play coh and cov?? Are the computer requirements the same for cov as they are for coh?? [color=blue] [ /color]

Check the posts that are stickied - like the COV primer, the Beta FAQ, adn the common Questions thread.

I called EBGames customer support line and they said that all bonus items are first come first served. Even after I explained that it comes with pre-ordering the game they said that unless you get the bonus item before they run out you will be S.O.L. So unless they dont know what they are talking about...that reallys sucks.

Edit: Called my local store and they said they have no idea when they will get it "because every box they recieve is like christmas" because they have no idea whats in it..haha

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, many electronics stores are like that.

If you have an EBgames near you, just choose the ship-to-store option - usually free.

Well, I know gamestop gave me two offers to get $10 credits applied to my credit card - signing up for two 30 trials, cancel before the 30 days is up or get charged $9.95 for each one.

So I have a text file, copied several times, on my desktop saying Call on 8/25 or so - according to the details you get the cred no matter what, but I am going to wait a few days before canceling just to make sure.

Normally NekoLurker's posts are fine, I don't know what is up with this :/

All the CEs come from the same place, so the heroclix, etc, will bein the CE that the devs/NCsoft say will be in the CE.

The guy is nit-picking about the difference between "Free." and "free with purchase".


And I too hope the remove the gender-discrimination - I had an idea for the bloodwidow helmet, but on a male avatar.

And my guess is that the four "reflectors" on the helmet are duplicated on the otherside, being (*ahem) a mirror of the imagery of a spider with their eight eyes - although the on the road at night explanations is also possible

Same for compu USA, althought that would be the generic pre-release.

So why are the helmets being made gender specific?

Please do not give this to scrappers, whatever anyone says.

If I am in the yellow/red, it's only cause my heal is still que'd up, shadowmaul having a long animation time.

A debuff set like the Dark Defender?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, Archery is pure debuff.

All ofther Defender debuffing sets have been a mix of buff/debuff/heal...

So it is a totally different animal.

Great ideas, but of all the places to torch, why steel canyon. I'm fairly sure everyone would much rather see Perez burning (all of it)

Maybe you could do that as a world event some time, and set the whole of perez on fire

[/ QUOTE ]

But if Perez was on fire would you really try to put out the fire?

[/ QUOTE ]

Heck no! I'd be on the wall cheering and *accidentally* blasting the tires out on any firetrucks on the way!

Which is why it's not in Perez park+

I dont know if its me, but this seems like a weak attempt at damage control (oh, lets throw something out there to take their mind off I5)...

Or perhaps its the fact that Im just fuming that they keep nerfing every AT accross the board every time they do an issue. I mean come on...

Just my angry two cents

[/ QUOTE ]

They hardly nerf every AT with each issue.

Regen is not the only scrapper type.

And defenders, blasters, and controllers are rarely nerfed. Even wtih this issue, defenders were pretty much left alone, and blasters got a buff or two

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootise Roll pop?

Three (and if you get that joke, you're old).

Hardly. That commercial is a classic. I am surprised they have yet to bring it back on the air.

I seem to recall somewhere that you will have to have CoV to build bases, but you should only have to have it attached to your account, not active.

Anyone can go into a base though.

And the other point that Dark and I have been trying to make...is why make their already paying customers of CoH, not only go and Buy Cov in order to get that content, but also ask them to pay more? UO, FFXI, SWG...you don't go out and buy the big expansion with the new content then have to create Another account and pay an additional fee to play it.You use your already exisiting account your already exisiting dollar amount nothing changes. And all three of them have major new content and could be considered 'stand-alone' games. And they could do as NCSoft/Cryptic want to do to their existing CoH customers, ask them to pay an additional fee just to get to that content and continue to play it.

[/ QUOTE ]

But, they have a different set of devs, it IS a different game. You get upset that Pokemon Blue and Red had to be bought seperately too?

And DO NOT mention FFIX - so much promise, until you learn they ignored EVERY other MMO out there and made many of the same mistakes, and more, that other MMOs have made. They should pay US to play that (Ahh crap, hit the windows key! Now I got to restart the game and log back in!)

ANd for what it is worth, the stuff that CoH gets out of CoV mearly needs you to have the code connected to your account (building SG bases, and the PVP zones.)

And frankly, last I read, I did not need UO to play SWG or FFIX, etc.

Second, do they release substantial content updates wihtout charging for them seperately? No. CoV and CoH do. The minor increase to fees is because each game has it's own set of devs.

And while it's possible Heroes will get some missions in the rogue isles, and villians in Paragon City, they will be outdoor/indoor instaces, they will not be able to walk down main street and see PC Villians (unless it is a PvP mission) And the only actual areas that Villains and Heroes will both be able to access is the FOUR pvp zones, nothing else.

A patch is something that is DL'd to update your game before logging in...as in the Issues that CoH has or calls them...no matter how big or small the patch is. An Expansion is something that you can go out and purchase to add extremely new and overly large content to your game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, lets look at this :

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, while City of Heroes has a history of including big patches with their Issues, a patch is a FIX to a bit of code, either a bug or even a tidy code isssue. A patch does not really add anything, or if it does it is VERY small.

[ QUOTE ]
An Expansion is something that you can go out and purchase to add extremely new and overly large content to your game.

[/ QUOTE ] An expansion is anything that EXPANDS on existing content. So, except what I bolded, what you said is 100% correct - but what was bolded is just how it has been done by most other places.


Quite simply, a bug fix does not add a whole new zone, or whole new systems (Striga or PVP arenas for example). And Expansion does.

And even though I don't PVP I still find that have gotten more out of every Issuse than out of any expansion to EQ except Planes of Power, and even then, CoH starts out with train lines and you get travel powers for all as soon as 14, unlike EQ with their massive zones and either expensive mounts or 'portation by a few classes.

[ QUOTE ]
I dont consider the updates as an exspansion to me if you are buying a CD/DVD that should be an exspansion.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, even with Issue 4, I get more out of the free Issue Updates than I ever got for an EQ expansion.

And are you sure you didn't buy a collection-type disc when you started UO? Eq does those every two or so expansions.

Again, Cuppa has let some info out.

Appparently the much wanted Pet Control Panel will be in CoV.

[ QUOTE ]
Also some of us older/veteran players dont have access to newer badges like Isolator or V.I.P. ,

[/ QUOTE ]

While Isolator is a one-time chance, the VIP badge is obtainable by gettind a DVD edition code (either from a box or the online store) and using it to *UPGRADE* your existing account under the account management webpage. It will award the badge to your characters when they log in.

Even at low levels, this power seems to kick in a little slow to be much use.

Maybe more like it kicks in at 45-50%, and climbs a little bit faster?

From PMs to CuppaJo - Your birthday as listed in your PlayNC account. You promised/verified it was all true when you signed up.

Nothing solid has been said. However, we are guessing that there will be some reason for minimum of l20 (repect of the guy that is letting you be your own villianous self? Lord R.'s respect being forced upon you? He afraid that you might get sucked into a jet enginie/whirlpool/vortex if you don't have enough practice with your travel powers first? [Yeah, I loved that part of the incredibles])

If it were a simple expansion, you'd need CoH to play CoV and vice versa... but you don't. An example I've given many many times, now, is that CoH and CoV are like Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. You don't need one to play the other... but to have access to certain bits of content, you'd need both.

[/ QUOTE ]

these pokemon games you're playing, you pay a monthly fee for them? if not, then your comment isn't that relevant.

cov is very much an expansion to coh, if it weren't, then how is it you HAVE to buy cov in order to get bases for your hero?

if you're just throwing out answers because you're a fanboy, sorry, warn me next time so i know.

[/ QUOTE ]

As far as the basics go, it is exactly the same.

With the pokemon games, each version has pokemon and items that it's partner version(s) don't. If you don't link up to the other(s), you never get them.

Here, you never get to (personally) build a SGBase if you don't have CoV, although you can go in them, from what I recall.

[ QUOTE ]
Heck the trade skill/professions thing might end up being a part of the COV deal.

[/ QUOTE ]

Except they have given ZERO indication of this. Bases have a direct connection to PvP, skills don't.

In additon, only 1 person in a SG actually needs to buy CoV.
