For all you City of Heroes and City of Villains players out there, NCSoft let us know that there will be a "Double XP Weekend" soon. From 11AM CST on Friday, July 21 until 9PM CST Sunday, July 23, everything you do in the game will get you twice the usual XP. According to NCSoft, the weekend "will give players the opportunity to level up their characters and gain access to many of the new features available in both City of Heroes and City of Villains".

      Hrmm thats funny.... some times I wish I could level slower just because I always seem to outlevel the contacts I am working on, and then miss out on the missions they give.

        Yeah, but most of the missions handed you are dull & repititious. And you're fucked if you want the cool ones. I always wanted the mission arc where you got the Freakshow suit that let you fly, but my Controller was either the wrong archetype or, as you said, outlevelled it.

        And what about avoiding some? I killed planets worth of devouring earth getting to level fitty... not even counting those ancient shadow shard task forces.

        And vahzilok? FUCK THE VAHZILOK. 1 or 2 missions might be okay, but a whole freakin' story arc? Especially after all the damn nerfs? They can suck my dick.

        I cancelled my account 3 months ago and I'm still irritated. >:|

        I think most of the "grind" complaints come from people who try to solo a lot. When I was playing CoH/CoV I usually teamed and yeah, things go by pretty fast.

        'Course I haven't played it this year, so maybe things have changed, but then again the changes that I hear about have all been to increase XP and reduce debt, so it sounds like it only got faster.

      Yeah, CoH/V does have some serious grind starting in the teens. I want to like the game more, but the grinding and repetitiveness of the game wears on me.

      I gave up within the first few months of launch, after hitting the level I got my superjump move. I think that was level 16 or something.

      I gave up CoV around 16, good riddance.
