City of Heroes

[Knight Hood 0]

I just picked up this and was wondering if anyone else plays.

If so, what Server are you on?

[z-Sean McCline 0]

I play occasionally on Guardian as Kyta or Penny Mann.

[Matt 22]

When it first came out there were several people on here that played, but I think everyone that I played with has finally dropped out of the game.

[Vixen 0]

I still play frequently. I've got several characters on Protector.

[Knight Hood 0]

Cool to know a few people still play though. I'm on Justice and I've gotten 3 characters to level 5. I know I should choose a character and stick with it but I just can't help it. Creating characters is so much fun!

Right now I have a Mutant Scrapper with Martial Arts and Super-Reflexes called War Strike. A Magic Controller with Gravity Manipulation and Storm Summoning called Dee Lite (She's my cheesecake character) and a scrawny looking Science Tanker with Invulnreability and Super Strength called Ultra-Lad.

So what are you all playing?

[Asche 1]

How many characters can you have on each server?

[Matt 22]

You can have 8 characters on each server.

Back in the day I took all 5 original ATs to at least 20. My tanker was my highest and was 45ish when I quit. My tanker was ok to start with, then got really boring, but they made changes to make it more fun. Unfortunatly they changed a lot of that and he's sort of screwed up now and can't really be fixed.

I loved my blaster, thought my scrapper was ok, never got into my defender, and at a point got bored with my controller. I think I played every possible combo to at least level 8, which can be accomplished in 3-4 hours.

Not that there's much to read, but you can find the remnants of our CoH forum here: http://www.nprime.net/cgi-bin/forum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=38

I'm playing again on Virtue.

DarkArtemis 10 Scrapper

Ms. Stone 4 Tank

Le Petite Mort 4 Controller

Storm Bear. 2 Blaster

No one over 10. I suck at powerleveling. I'm slow as a mo-fo.

[Vixen 0]

Magnum Opus (yes, yes, different Magnum Opus) at level 34. Invulnerable mutant tanker with a similar backstory to the dude from 'There's Always Tomorrow.'

The soon-to-be-created Modus Operandi, a natural defender with archery. Former science superhero who lost his powers, and now is redefining himself while staying 'on the job.'

The science scrapper Scarlet Thorn, a low-level spines/regen scrapper. A former possession victim of the Circle of Thorns, a chance encounter with Devouring Earth mutagens broke the spell but left the thorn in her heart, and now she can replicate it endlessly.

The Knight Watchman, the ghost of a dead cop from the 1920s with goggles cut from crystal balls that let him see past life and death. Dark magic defender.

The Spirit of Stone, a symbiotic sentient chunk of pavement with earth and sound powers, created from the psychic trauma the city endured during the Rikti attacks.

All on either Protector or the test server in the case of those with powers yet to be officially released. I find I enjoy creating backstories a lot, so all of my characters have one.

[Conduit 0]

I play. I have around 15 characters, none of which are above 20.

I'll list the Characters that I play often

On Virtue I have

Mega Girl Inv/SS Tank

Adam Curie Rad/Rad Defender

Klobber Kid Fire/Mace Tank

Hurricane Annie Storm/Elec Defender

Protector

Dragar Fire/Fire Blaster

Man-Child Mental/FF Conroller

Dr. Magmia Fire/Stone Tank

Perseid Ice/Ice Tank

Myrmidon-0069 AR/Devices Blaster (Halo rip-off)

Infinity

Marcus Gaius MA/Regen Scrapper

Those are pretty much all I play these days. One day I'll pick up my other ones. Pharaoh-Bot, Oslo, Rylo, Gravitus Rex, Elona, Conduit is in there but not under that name.

[Asche 1]

Been playing this for about 5 days now on Protector and wanted to know who I might look for there if your still playing.

My question: Are you still playing? Why or why not and what server?

Okay, it now stands at:

DarkArtemis: 13
Storm Bear: 9
Manolo Pink: 4 Defender.

I'm having more fun as I've actually hooked up with people who know how to group.

They've given free respecs to everyone so you might be able to fix him now.

[Asche 1]

Well I Played for three hours late the other nite and got to level 6 in my dark defender. We ought to do a poll or something to see where everyone plays here on this site. It would be fun to group up now and then.

[Hugin 0]

Playing on Virtue.

[Asche 1]

Going strong on Protector currently.

[Sakurako Hino 3]

Okay, right now my character is on a friend's account. Here is the breakdown.

If you want to run into Silvertalon (my best bud), look for Nogi-Sune on the Justice server.

After I get back into the swing of things, look for Sakurako Hino on the Virtue Server.

Sakurako is sorta hard to miss, in her sailor suit and all.

[Troy 0]

City of Villains is here. Consider yourselves warned.

[Lemmy Chillmeister 0]

Warned about a game my system can't handle and I can't afford?

Jeeze, thanks, Troy.

[Michael Peters 0]

Does anyone still play this game? I picked it up a few months ago and am looking for a good group to play with, and possibly start a Super-Group with.

I play on the Justice server, character named "Crusader Sanguine"

[Stargaizer 2]

Once I can get the money to pay for the monthly fees (or a free weekend comes back), I'll be back on. I'm pretty sure that most of my chars are on Justice, with my main being a healer by the name of Ilira.

If I'm on and anybody needs a good healer in their group, feel free to ask.

[Mr Fox 3]

Well, I've played this game in the past and enjoyed it but, it just doesn't have enough to keep my interest long term. It is the prettiest MMO out there though. And I love that you can fly, and superleap and superspeed. The travel powers are a blast.

[Omar 0]

I still play. I have 10 or so toons on Freedom, and have created an SG and VG. I have none on Justice Server, but would be willing to get involved in a new SG. Maybe I will get on later and look you up.

[Michael Peters 0]

Sure! Drop me a line. My global handle is @Mechanicus Volt. My characters name is Crusader Sanguine, as I've said.

[Titan 11]

I'm looking forward to Champions, myself. I agree with Fox that CoH didn't really have enough to hold my interest, and I can't stand the control system of most MMOs( 1...2...3...is 1 recharged yet? sigh. 3...4...oh sweet! 1...) and am looking forward to the fully mappable controller and the energy system, which should make some difference. Plus customizable powers, and expanded character creation, including creating your own nemesis. And it's by the team that created CoH, so it's gonna look great too.

[SkyLion 1]

Titan! What's the word bro? Any chance you will return to us at some point?

[Warren Verona 1]

Vivi's about excited as a person can get waiting for Champions. If I have to look at one more screen shot while she points and laughs giddily I'm gon' scream.

Although it does look fun though.

[Matt 22]

I just got the e-mail saying that they are opening up the game to everyone with an account in good standing until 5/3. Now all I need to do is figure out what my account info is.

[SalmonMax 37]

I had a chance to see, and play a little, the stress test beta.

It was pretty interesting. Unfortunately we didn't get to mess with the power customizing, since it only went for one day.

But the character creation is visually pretty spectacular. And I'm HAPPY to report that capes, wings, and so on are in at level 1 this time. There's a lot more 'tech' options too...jetpacks, rocket boots...all kinds of cool things.

Hopefully they've added even more by now.

[Michael Peters 0]

You got into the Champions beta Max? You lucky jerk-face. I've been trying to get into that thing for months!

[SalmonMax 37]

No no, a friend of mine got into the -stress test-.

Just the stress test.

Neither of us is actually in the closed beta though.

We only got to play it for one day.

[Matt 22]

I just got an email saying that City of Heroes/Villains will be free this weekend. I am downloading it now. Hopefully I'll have a couple of hours to play on Saturday.

[Mr Fox 3]

Nice. Question is will you get the upgraded graphics without purchasing the Going Rogue update, or was that a freebie?

[Matt 22]

I'm not sure. It says that "access to Going Rogue has now been enabled on all live servers." It sounds like it is there, but I don't know. I haven't played the game in forever.

[Mr Fox 3]

I've been tempted to check it out. I'm not too interested in playing the game content. Been there, done that with multiple character types to max level.

What I am curious about is the graphics upgrade. It was already one of the best looking games out there. If it's free this weekend with the new graphics I'll definitely sign in and check it out.

[Matt 22]

I can't play these games long enough. I just lose interest after a while. My first character, TUM TUM, is 47th level. I played him the first year and have been logging back in when a free weekend comes up just to try and get him to 50. I'm not even sure if that is the cap any longer. I think my villain is somewhere in the 30s.

[Matt 22]

I took a few screen shots: City of Heroes

It has been a long time since I played, so all of this may have been in the game a while. But you can see the water and reflections. I didn't see anything in the graphics that would make the game more enjoyable to play though.

[Dawn OOC 56]

Man, I loved that game. Just seeing the screenshots made me long again.

[Mr Fox 3]

I would be up for getting a CoH group together. I don't have much interest in playing the game just for the sake of the game, but it would be a blast to start out with a group of you crazy people. That would add a lot to the fun.
