this is how i've sorta viewed all the ncsoft games i've played so far. they're good, and could be outstanding with some work. and in the meantime they're just not subscription material =/

More pics from test.

Pic #1 - Statesman is the lead charachter for the hero side. If you are a villain and near him, he will smack you. This was an npc and not a pc, and I assume he will be in the regular RV zone. I was playing a hero at the time, so he didn't attack me.

#2 - This is a picture of one of the gun turrets around the zone that need to be defeated.

#3 - I was playing my EM/EA brute (villain) and saw Positron (one of the major heroes in Coh). Previous to this, my brute had been owning everything. As you can see, I am faceplanted about 10 secs after engaging (along with the rest of my group).

No, you can access the PvP zones regardless of which game you own. The PvP zones came included with CoV, but they were a free addition to CoH in Issue 6.

I tried out that 2 week free thing they had the beginning of the month. Was hoping i7 would be released during that time. No luck. Still no official word on when they plan on releasing it yet?

I do wanna give the new stuff a go, it's fun in short doses. Especially since I'm not playing anything atm.

Cuppajo (community manager) just said that we shouldn't expect it in May. They are still playtesting. Considering they are revising some sets like claws and archery, as well as adding in destructible environments, I can see why. And by the way, claws now absolutely owns on test (archery is a little better).

And yes, the game is good in spurts, but its not the type of game that you play straight for a year.
