Title: City of Heroes
Post by: Kurtt on May 05, 2009, 12:26:54 AM: Anyone playing/played this recently?

I picked up the new Architect edition off Steam the other day, and have so far levelled a super hero called Wraithwing to level 8. Fun so far, and a nice break from the fantasy themed games I've played to death recently.

If anyone fancies giving it a go, I'm on the Union server :)

Cheers,

Kurtt

I found it incredibly grindy. And it started giving me repeatable quests at level 5 :S

The crafting system they added is nice but doesnt take away the samey aspects that stop me playing long term, i do go back occasionaly to play my Mastermind, Madam Robotics with her horde of cyber mayhem. or any of my other heroes/villains all in the teens/20s that get deleted and started anew :)

Have you played through many player missions so far? Are they any good?

I haven't as yet, I got too distracted wooshing round the skies of Atlas Park :D

I'll give them a go at some point though.

Post by: Darkstirm on June 16, 2009, 01:51:38 PM: This was my very first MMO and I first played the US version when it came out.

I'm now back as it's still the best game to pick up and play for a short time - the Sidekick system alone makes it easy. Yes it does get grindy but get a good team together and you really don't have time to remember what the hell is going on.

Anyway - I'm back on the EU servers. My current aim is to hit 50 so I can open the Archtype. Green Emitter is my main hero with GIGObite my main villain.

The Architect missions are fun. Some guys have gone to a lot of trouble to create variety and fun (I briefly joined the fashion police beating on hideously dressed villains. So they make a good alternative to the game's standard missions.

And it runs on the Mac now. Added bonus!
