Until that fateful patch, no one knew exactly how the statistics system in <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/city-of-heroes">CoH</a></em> worked or how things were calculated out.  But, with that feature now a standard part of the game, it has become a very invaluable tool.<br /><br />But perhaps you're not up to speed on that.  Perhaps you've never taken a look at all of those new digits and fancy words on the screen.  Well, if you're looking for a basic starter on how to take advantage of this system, the comic blog <a href="http://www.yellowspandex.com">Limited Edition </a>has just <a href="http://www.yellowspandex.com/?p=330">posted their look</a> into the stats.  It's a brief walkthrough of some of the basic features -- good for anyone who hasn't gotten their feet wet with the stats as of yet.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/01/17/crunch-numbers-like-the-bones-of-villains-in-city-of-heroes/">Crunch numbers like the bones of villains in City of Heroes</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sat, 17 Jan 2009 15:00:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.cityofheroes.com/game_update12.html">Issue 12 Beta</a> for <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/cox">CoX</a> </em>is currently <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/08/city-of-heroes-issue-12-enters-closed-beta/">in Friends and Family stage and closed to anyone else</a>, but bugs do happen, and one forum poster has accidentally accessed the Villain Epic Archetypes. <br /><br />He's generously taken plenty of screenshots and thus given us the first real taste of how the VEATs will work.<a href="http://s104.photobucket.com/albums/m184/lestatwc/CoV%20Stuff/"> </a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/ncsoft/">NCSoft </a>haven't objected to his sharing the information with us, but have reminded us that VEATs are still being worked on.
