Iedereen heeft de heroes al wel ens gezien; Superman, Batman, Spiderman. Maar stiekem dacht je toch om ens een door en door slecht karakter te maken zoals ; Joker, Pingiun, mafiosi en andrere scum.
Met de komst van CoV kan je eindelijk je kunsten als slechterik laten zien.
City of Heroes en City of villians zijn beiden MMORPG's
Als je reeds bekend bent met ncoft en City of Heroes dan zal het waarschijnlijk niks nieuws voor je zijn.
De release van City of Villians staat aan de voordeur en staat te popelen om binnen te komen
De game is gewoonweg geniaal, een spetterende combinatie van pve missions, karakter creation en zoveel meer.
Met de komst van CoH hadden we er al een topgame bij, maar met deze release kunnen we ons ens goed laten gaan op pvp gebied.
Vooral de karakter creation kon velen van ons bekoren, die behoord tot de beste aller tijden.
Ik heb getracht zoveel mogelijk info bijeen te schrapen, zo heb je een beeld van wat je kan verwachten. en de verwachtingen zijn niet min
zin om een filmpje te zien ?
What is City of Villains ?

With diabolical craft and guile, players forge new super-powered villain characters in an attempt to dominate the world. Heroes and authorities of Paragon City will do all in their power to thwart these evil plans of destruction. It will take a supreme effort for true domination.
What are some of the key features in City of Villains?
Become an infamous Villain: Players can advance from low level thugs to eventually fulfill their destiny as legendary arch-criminals.
Design and build infinitely customisable fortresses of evil: Players repel intruders with vicious weaponry and diabolical defenses.
Heroes and Villains collide: Now players can choose to take on the most challenging rivals of all time… each other!
Huge variety of villain missions: including heists, kidnappings, infiltrations, and more!
Incredible villain variety: including new archetypes, powers, villain costumes, and the deadly new villain group Arachnos!



When will the game be released?
Within the year.
Will City of Villains be released in Europe at the same time as the US?
That is our intention, yes.
How much will City of Villains cost?
Pricing will be announced later this year.
Is City of Villains just an expansion to City of Heroes?
City of Villains is a stand-alone title, not an expansion. It may be played without City of Heroes, but there are clear advantages to owning and playing both. If a player only has City of Villains, they may only play a villain, not a hero. Also, if players want to build a base for their Hero characters and take part in PvP adventures (outside of the Arenas) they’ll need to get City of Villains.
Will there be lairs and bases in City of Villains?
Yes, in City of Villains all villain characters will be able to create custom designed lairs and bases with an extremely high amount of detail, rivaling that of the character creation for which City of Heroes is well known. The base-building feature from City of Villains will also carry over to City of Heroes members who have active COH subscriptions, enabling them to also construct hero bases.
Will you continue to provide updates for both City of Villains and City of Heroes?
Absolutely. Both City of Heroes and City of Villains will continue to be updated.
Does City of Villains require players to participate in player vs player combat (PvP)?
No. While there will be PVP-specific features and events, normal player vs environment (or PvE) content will be abundantly available.
Both games will have PvP and PvE elements. Players will never be required to play in PvP battles – they are by player permission only.
How will City of Heroes and City of Villains interface with one another?
City of Heroes and City of Villains will share the same universe. A majority of the new features and zones introduced in City of Villains will be available to City of Villains customers only. Also, many of the existing (and yet to be released) features and zones within City of Heroes will remain exclusive to City of Heroes customers.
There will also be ‘overlapping’ zones in which heroes and villains will interact with each other.



When will City of Villains go into beta?
City of Villains is targeted to begin its closed beta phase (invite only) sometime within July/August. Please note that this date is subject to change. We will bring you more specific dates just as soon as they’re finalized.
What will be included in the City of Villains Collector's Edition box?
We will be announcing these details in August with the official kick-off of the City of Villains pre-order.
Will there be a version of City of Villains released on DVD?
We will be announcing these details in August with the official kick-off of the City of Villains pre-order.
Will there be ‘Issues’ for City of Villains?
Yes, of course. We will continue to release content updates for both City of Heroes and City of Villains.
Will there be Task Forces and Trials in City of Villains?
Yes indeed! Villainous Task Forces will be called Strike Forces. There will be Strike Force missions spread out among the middle-to-high levels of City of Villains. There will also be Trials, and some examples of rewards will be Items of Power, respecs and badges.
Can villains have minions?
Yes! The Mastermind archetype will enable players to have minions, or ‘henchmen’, as they will be called in City of Villains. Stay tuned for more in-depth information.
What types of villains can I create?

In addition to these new archetypes, the character creator will allow a nearly limitless set of customization options.
What unique aspects can we look forward to seeing in the City of Villains character creator?

Players will be able to create characters using monstrous features such as horns, hooves, new villain capes, and much more. Plus, the new bump map graphics technology will make metallic and other costume components react dynamically with lighting in the environments.
What are some of the items I’ll be able to have in my lair or base?
Players will be able to create their bases from the ground up. They can place walls, raise and lower ceilings and floors, build hospital rooms, transporters, and much more. Textures, colors, and lighting can all be customized, and players can use tons of decorative items in their bases as well. Players can protect their creations by placing turrets, gas traps, and other defense mechanisms. All of these result in nearly limitless options
Een paar FAQ vraagjes die ik zelf toe wilde voegen....
Zijn er items te verzamelen zoals dit in andere games het geval is (o.a. WoW, Lineage) ?
Neen, in CoH en CoV gaat het erom je powers op de juiste wijze te combineren en ordenen zodat je de perfectie benaderd van een Superhero err Supervillian.
Verdien je geld en andere rijdommen ?
Je verdiend idd geld, geld dat je gebruikt om enhancements te kopen voor je powerslots.
Ook krijg je enhancements en respites als drops.
Zorgen items en/of kledij ervoor dat je sterker word ?
Neen je krachten staan helemaal los van de kledij die je draagt. De krachten die je bezit zijn gelijk aan een ieder karakter die dezelfde krachten als basic heeft opgesteld.
Hoe verschil ik dan van anderen ?
Er zijn altijd meer powers dan je kan levelen. De kunst bestaat erin de juiste combinaties te verkrijgen zodat jouw karakter net beter is dan die andere. Het verschilt tussen regular karakters en ownage karakters.
De meest recente informatie die ik heb omtrend release datum, is 11 september voor de US versie, voor de EU versie zou dit in dezelfe marge moeten liggen. Check regelmatig de links bovenaan.
