Teaming in CoV or I soooo looonely.....

LoLth

I like the team system in teh CoX games, as a hero I can pretty much guarantee a team up option each time I play , sometimes good, sometimes not so good but quite often you get into a team with higher level team mates and you still get to work well (sidekick etc).

Not so in CoV: some lower level alts (lvl 4 MM (merc/dev) , lvl 2 (!) stalker) have had team ups with almost full teams all of the same level. however, my lvl17 mastermind (bots/ff) has yet to find a team. every now and then I get a request from a lvl 3 or 4 saying "can i be team wiv yoo" , did it once ,never again. level diff was too great and the "younger"player literally just hid behind the bots and did nothing (which , lets face it, is my job!).

So, how do others get teams in CoV ? Are CoV players more clannish than CoH ? Are they just playing in character ? So far Melvin has solo'ed up to 17 with a 4 level drought of contacts which has finally been rectified!. But I like the team work in CoH and I enjoyed the teams in CoV with the lower level alts.

Anyone else a bit annoyed that the power proliferation in Issue 12 didnt turn up more pets for masterminds ?

Contact either Monster Bru or Max Powerz and ask about joining their SGs (both are coalitioned anyway so doesn't really matter which), you'll never want for a team again.

Yup, was hoping to see some new MM primary pets too, but i12 will still have me rejoin the game for a while just to check things out (pretty much been playing other games since about spring last year).

I've not had too much problems in finding teams .. I generally get a few tells each time I'm on, asking if I want to team.

If you're on Union I can probably help you out to some extent, but at present I'm working on leveling my L41 MM up to 50 so I can get the new villain goodies when i12 comes out.

I'm currently knocking around on Defiant. must give union a go (defiant seems a bit sparsely populated these day. maybe its people saving up their game time for I12)....

I spoke too soon. was invited onto a team last night. Fire corruptor (20), ice corruptor (19) , MM bot/dev (19) and me MM bot/ff (17).

Absolutely walked through the missions , apart from one (destroy the D-rift) which had loads of red and purples (for me) blood widows, fortunata and mu's as well as lost, circle and a few clockwork. Firepower from the 4 man team was ..... impressive

Try a team with 6 MMs some time .. just don't expect to actually be able to see anything on the screen

I got sick of trawling for teams on the UK servers so I switched to Freedom, not a problem there let me tell you, Blue or Red Side. Although now I have 50ed my Ice/Kin corr the Farm requests never end!

Yeah. Defiant is horrible... especially for City of Villains.

I transferred my main Villain over to Union and don't have too much trouble finding a team any more.

LoLth

yeah, tempted to move the malevolent mechanical Melvin over to onion as well. Hard enough to find a team, let alone an active SG that is willing to arrange SF runs.... also, sharkhead is boring solo.....
