ProfPotts Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Ooh... Very, very good news! Cheers for that! ::thumbsup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfPotts Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Well, I've sent the application to Beta test off, but whether I get in or not depends a lot on how many slots they have available - not being able to play their game 24-7, & not having played all their other on-line games probably doesn't put me at the top of the list of applicants, after all.Still, if all else fails, they do say it's only a couple of months now before the game proper is released.Heck - I'd settle for the costume-designer bit of the game... ::wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphere Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I'm definitely getting this. Looks cooler than a winter in the Arctic. I'm already thinking up and discarding characters to start off with. Hell, it'll be the closest I've got to being a PC in a loooooooooong time.Matter of fact, anyone on the boards gets this let me know. I'll definitely be up for joining forces with other Eon-ites and bring justice to Paragon City. Proteus style!!! ::rolleyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfPotts Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Well, I got into the Beta & finally got to try my hand at City of Heroes on Monday... Brilliant stuff! ::thumbsup The downside is that my own computer's Video card isn't good enough to run the thing, so until I upgrade I can only run it on a friend's PC. Still, an investment of a few hours on Monday introduced me to Paragon City & got The Brit' up to level 6 (he can now fly!.. Well, 'Hover' is the technical term - but it's still 3D movement!).The Brit' is on the Freedom server (the English language server for the European Beta - there's also French & German language servers) - a Mystical origin Tanker with Invulnerability & Superstrength (& now Hover - a pretty traditional style hero). The guy's around 6'6", with blond hair & beard, blue T-shirt with golden 'lion rampant' heraldry symbol, red belt & fingerless gloves, black cargo trousers & combat boots.Having spent some of the time I couldn't log onto Eon reading the CoH manual, I'm now itching to get back in the game & head towards level 10 (sidekicks & super groups, yeh!) - that'll have to wait until this weekend at the very earliest though.My friend (who's 'borrowing' my login at the moment) has tried out several characters: Spaceman Spiff (a tiny guy with a huge gun), Firefox (a fire-blasting scantily-clad babe), & The Blonde Bombshell (leather miniskirt & visor - never did figure out her powers) - so if anyone sees them around, say 'hi' from me!To be honest, I'd buy the game just for the costume designer - there's also now a web site that'll turn your CoH character into a professional-looking 'trading card' you can print out as well (according to the CoH homepage).CoH does, indeed, rock. ::biggrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
