City of Villains

Ya I do think that's a better term, and I agree that rogue classes aren't for everyone, but for me they're they best.  I love combat that way and find it more satisfying and thrilling.  The combat I find frustrating is your standard Tank, high defense and low/average damage, if I can't kill something quick I don't enjoy the combat.  I think slowly pecking your opponent to death is boring, combat is supposed to be fast and furious with you changing your tactics on the fly.  Thats why I love rogues.

I can sometimes play hybrid classes I did that in FFXI since their thief class was horrid, where I played a Darknight.

Now that all 12 characters are revealed, I've set up the poll to allow people to vote for their favorite. So, you know, all three of you can vote now.

I just read on the COV forums that they're planning a system where you can switch from hero to villain and vice versa, so maybe we'll be seeing UXB going rouge.  There's no word on if it'll be in the next patch (issue) but it might be, and yes your arch type stays the same.

I also thought of something I wish they had done which is to be able to get missions from a specific NPC group like the hellions or circle of thorns.

My new vote is for Warpo, he just looks sinister (and while his handedness is up for debate Im sure I think he looks menacing in a clown kind of way too).

[House of Mustard]

As much as I'd like to vote for a girl, Bioweapon is the best of the bunch (he has a lame name though).  Fragment is probably the coolest-looking character, but I really don't like the power set.

[Fellfrosch]

None of these characters are more than a day or two into their development, so it would be easy to go back and rebuild them with a slightly different look or powerset (or name). If you have ideas, let me know.

I voted Wychwinter. I like her costume (yes, I'm such a girl) and how it ties in with her powers. But I want to see those sleeves you promised!  

[Fellfrosch]

Liking costumes doesn't make you a girl--you should have seen us all obsessing over UXB's costume last year with the City of Heroes blog. It was embarassing.

[Chimera]

Oh, I see. You're all really metrosexuals.   J/k

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

whats wrong with a sense of style...?

[Chimera]

Nothing. It's one of my superpowers, personally. Goes well with my feminine wiles.  

[Lieutenant Kije]

I vote fragment.  With a mysterious background, her origins could be the same as the wierd hospital/experiemnt thing that created UXB.  So they could be arch-enemies and then discover that...they're sisters! (or something) DUN DUN DUN

[Entsuropi]

Fragment is the best looking, by far. The rest were kinda meh

[Spriggan]

I was messing around with the character creator and realized there were no winter costumes, ie coats, scarfs and the like.  I was wanting to make an Ice Dominator that was dressed all in heavy clothing.  Back to the drawing board I guess.

[Spriggan]

I'm quite disappointed that Warpo is winning, not because I think he's a bad character concept/design but because I think he'd be perfect for the Carnival set for the Master Mind that's going to be out in the next major patch.  Though that probably won't happen for another 4-6 months.

I was rooting for Fragment to loose at first just because I didn't think dual stalkers would be fun to play since I was assuming I'd actually team up with Fell from time to time.  But ya, he never plays so it doesn't matter what he's got since I doubt I'll actually ever run into him online.
