City of Villains: Interview with Matt Miller

Matt Miller of Cryptic Studios answers our questions about the upcoming Issue 7 publish they're planning for CoH/CoV. These issues are essentially free expansions to their super-hero and super-villain MMORPGs.

image MMORPG.com: Grandville is described as a “vertical zone” – what do you mean by this?

Matt Miler: The height of the main structure in Grandville is awe inspiring and eclipses the size of any other structures in CoV (or CoH). The zone is about proving yourself to Lord Recluse, and as you work your way up the food chain in the Arachnos organization, you will also be working your way up the zone. You will literally progress your way up the zone and access new levels above you. By surviving the challenges set forth the higher you go in Grandville, you will find yourself under the direct scrutiny of Lord Recluse himself. One thing that players wonder is if a travel power like flight would be required in a zone like this. Don’t worry, there are elevators that can take you up and down safely if you don’t have the ability to go vertical on your own.

    This sounds like a very interesting update really. I have trialed the game, but found the missions a bit repetitive, which I know can happen in all mmos. From what I have read they are doing some good work over at cryptic, and I may need to give them another look after this has been implemented.

    Good luck!

    My CoV experience WAS nice.

     

    But I am walking away now, before the IoP become unbearables.  Have a great time guys.

    COV has saved the game entirely. The implimentation of pvp is really top notch.  This is a game I am glad to have re-activated.  I am looking forward to any news on the new Villain epic lvl 50 characters.. does anyone know any sort of information on this? I sure would like to read about it.  Thanks!
