Per CuppaJo<\/a> this afternoon (with my comments<\/em>):<\/p>\n

\nNew Zones
\nAs they become available to the players of City of Villains, the following PvP Zones will also open up for player of City of Heroes: Bloody Bay (This is a PvP Zone for Villains and Heroes with a minimum level to entry set at 15.), Siren\u2019s Call (This is a PvP Zone for Villains and Heroes with a minimum level to entry set at 20.), Warburg (This is a Free-For-All Battle Zone for Villains and Heroes with a minimum level to entry set at 30).
\nHo-hum. Not so much into PvP. Maybe. Probably. Okay, in a “real” setting, vs. the Arena, and as Heroes vs Villains … maybe. At least worth trying. It will be intersting to see if CoH\/CoV PvP is more popular than the Arenas are.<\/em>
\nArena \u2013 New Gladiator Battles! Collect all new Gladiator Badges to create a host of new pets you can battle in any of the Paragon City Arenas!
\nHo-hum-squared. Not really sure what this means, but Arena = Boring.<\/em>
\nNames: The number of characters allowed in the name will be increased to 20!
\nTo match CoV. Still too short, but better than nothing (or the previous 15).<\/em>
\nSuper Groups: There will be all new SG Badges and an upgrade to the SG permissions system.
\nUm … okay. The SG permissions are to match CoV, again (or, rather, are inherited from the CoV upgrade), and provides finer granularity of permissions. That said, ho-hum. Though I’m curious about the SG badges. Are those for time served in SG? Or for members of an SG that hits certainly milestones (membership, lifespan, whatever).<\/em>
\nTech Changes: City of Heroes will now support 3D Sound, have added Visual FX Upgrades and Dual CPU Performance Enhancement.
\nHo-hum.<\/em>
\nCostume Creator: Drop down menus are just a part of the UI upgrades for the costume creator.
\nI think this refers to the menu enhancements from the CoV costume creator, which is quite nice.<\/em>
\nPets: We\u2019ve added an all new Pet Window for managing your pets.
\nSimilar, one assumes, to the Mastermind pet windows. Hmmm. Wonder if we’ll get the same functionality (attack! defend! follow!). Oh. Reading on, evidently on the CoV side it’s been estalblished by the Devs that won’t happen (since MMs are supposed to be inherently different than Controllers or Dominators).<\/em>
\nTrade Window Upgrades: Trading with your teammates will be quicker and easier with the new UI in place.
\nThat will be nice. As it stands, it’s annoying. Hopefully trading Infl. will be faster.<\/em>
\nBeyond that, there are tons of little tweaks and visual changes all around \u2013 so come check them out soon on the test server.
\nUnlikely, but I look forward to hearing about them.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThat doesn’t include ED, which is still confirmed will be in I6.
\nOverall, the biggest “bang” in I6 is the presence of CoV. I6 should be considered an incremental release (I5.5, perhaps), bringing CoH into sync with CoV. IMO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
