anyone played it whats it like? coh / champions retread?

laters elv

Better graphics, an actual plot, recognisable superheroes you work with and for.

But still similar in vein to coh/champions..

Imo its worth a play just for rolling though stuff with superman and batman and the green lantern etc And fighting Joker/bane and such.

F2P is live.

Looks pretty cool so far, a fair bit more polished than Champions Online, though much of the same thing.

I've created two toons:

Batman wannabe Wraithwing and Superman wannabe Stalwart Sentinel.

If anyone fancies a go, let me know.

Not really got far enough into it to tell.

Only two character slots available. Not seen any restrictions costume wise that annoy me yet, been able to create the toons I wanted with no hassle so far.

Powers seem somewhat limited.

Fire, Ice, Gadgets, Magic, Mental and Nature I think. Was hoping for good old Super Strength.

Apparently you can only do missions to level 30, but again, don't know enough about the game to tell whether thats crap or not.

Think Cap is 50 and super strength may iirc be an unlockable during the levelling paths, but its been a while.

See I have a massive issue with F2P....blah blah blah troll comment...

But seriously...I've toed the line with this game for a ages, is it worth me spending ages downloading on my 2.5MB connection to give it a go, or should I just save my bandwidth? Not a huge fan of superhero stuff, but the idea of getting into a superhero MMO sounds cool. Played City of Heroes once before and wasn't impressed, how does it compare?

IIRC at about level 10 you open up the Mentor path of powers so im not sure Batmans will eb super strength ;)
