Since it's PVP I'm not interested, but it seems cool for those that are. I do hope that this one doesn't fall into the normal Cryptic trap of "Release a new system and then promptly abandon it." Always irritated me. Anyway, good to see something new for the ol' game for a change.

Does this mean one-shotting people with cascades and orange bubbles as Gravitar?
That's about the only thing that interests me about this whole update, because I lost almost all interest at 'PvP'. Eh maybe not. I'll wait until I play it.

Well, despite the fact it's PvP and I really don't do PvP it's piqued my interest enough that I'm gonna sub for a month and try it out. Probably the first time I've logged on since March.
I do expect that the rewards stuff will be silly broken but the thought of a bunch of us all back on the game and setting off big silly open world boss raid sounds like a lot of plain simple fun.

This is probably the closest they'll get to me touching PvP in this game. I'd even do something like this on my actual account and not my PvP account.

I bet Smackwell is absolutely giddy right now. He's always been a huge proponent for the idea of supervillains rampaging through MC like this. If Grond ends up being a playable villain we may see Caliga vs Grond Round 2.
It may be PvP but it sounds like it'll actually be kinda fun.

I, too, am curious/interested.
It's not the type of content I was expecting, but I think it's actually pretty creative. I look forward to a new form of gameplay, similar to how when Xstorm convinced me to get a Vehicle. I'm also concerned of the possibility of players using this to gank noobs, despite the mechanics designed to prevent that.
Example - I know you have to attack the villain in order for him/her to attack back. But a new player, seeing a villain in Westside, might instinctively shoot him/her, etc.

It was a lot of fun; but they stuck in an EXTREME NERF along with it, and it is going to destroy almost all builds, it ruined almost all of mine. It's definitely going to change the way the game is played.

I read a bit on the PTS forum about the nerfs but since I'm way out of the loop on CO stuff (and also since I can only play ATs), I don't really understand what exactly the nerf is or how it affects anything. Can anyone explain it in simple terms for those of us who have no idea whats going on?

Cooldowns from int, and gear were completely destroyed. Anything that was on a cooldown lost a HUGE chunk of it's reduction. AD/AO/ultimates went from ~35ish seconds to about 65ish seconds. Heals, and other things went from 2ish seconds up to 5 seconds, etc.

Huh. I assume they think doing that will resolve something with the new villians? Seems a bit severe to just double the CDs on everything. CO was always a bit more on the action-y side of things. This makes it less action-y. Interesting decision...

Hoo boy. Looks like things are heating up on the PTS thread. Smackwell just went ape in there nuking posts(and rightfully so I might add). Who is this Snake dude and why is trying his hardest to troll everyone in sight? How does he even still have a forum account, for that matter?

Please say it wasn't him.

Maybe? The forum name was Dicesnake and was supposedly "speaking on behalf of Snake." I'm not sure who Snake is supposed to be though since I don't frequent the CO side of the forums all that often.
This guy was a colossal jerk to literally everyone in that thread and was outright demanding that the CO devs speak to him personally on how to "fix" the game and to ignore everyone else. If that sounds like the Snake you're thinking of, then it's probably him.

After doing some tests, my DPS on my major characters went down by about 50% and it got much harder to stay alive with the cools on the heals. The new gear is pretty useless, at least from my tests, justice is far better.
