City of Heroes

and another 😄 this is the last one for now i'll pick up later 😄

Cool pics. The game looks really exciting!

its supposed to be its live action fast paced you choose from 5 different archetypes scrapper, blaster, defender, tanker, and controller. Then you choose how you came by your powers your origins mutant, technology, science, magic, or natural. Then you build your costume from scratch as far as i know it has one of the biggest character viewers ever but that's just what i think (not sure) so i'm waiting very impatiently

and another pic 😄 this shows a fight in progress if you look carefully you can see a guy teleporting

I'm probably going to get it. They're eventually going to have expansion packs where you can be villains and have lairs.

Which one is teleporting? Is it the thing that was hit by the laser?

oh and to jedi shmedi why would ya want to drive a vehicle when you can fly, run at super speed, teleport, and superleap from place to place 😄

well you also get the option to play as a hero who solely relies on gizmos to battle evil.... like batman.. he cant exactly fly so he also has a plethora of vehicles at the ready should the need arise

well if you look in the right corner next to the guy in blue and white you can see an sorta orange haze or mist then look at the guy farthest to the left i think that where he was is the haze and where he's jumping through the hole is where he pops up but that's just a guess 😛

ummm i don't think so the developers didn't put vehicles in the game maybe in the first expansion but not yet ya see this is how it works when you make your character you pick the archetype and origin then ya make the costume then you fight evil up to level six i believe after that you get to choose from the power pool it has several different things in there like super speed, flying, invisibilty, medicine, teleporting, and leaping (there are others that i can't remember) that's where you pick your transportation pretty much

but here's another aspect your character can be defined by the origin such as the cosumes if you pick a man/woman who relies on technology you can make there character more cyber looking with different costume parts designed especially for techonolgy but then again they don't get different color skins and such like the mutant would 🙂

so really all that was just to say you can't get vehicles yet 🙁 (sorry i get carried away when its a game i like 😛

Umm.. yeah read the website.. they cant make a game about heroes and then not include the people like bruce wayne, or cyclops types who cant "Leap tall buildings in a single bound" .. not all heroes are like that

if the entire game consists of everyone who can jump mad high or fly.. then its a stupid waste of time and money, cuz then noone relies on anyone besides themselves... thus there is no need to make it multiplayer

i have read the website (several times) there aren't vehicles and its definitly not a waste there are thousands of people just waiting for it to come out and its not very wellknown yet so as soon as it comes out its going to be HUGE 😄

so why is it necessary to band with other people? it cant be that hard if you can do everything by yourself 😖

because these gangs are gigantic it kinda works this way also

-thug- you can mow em down, eat em for lunch , smash their little heads
-lieutenant(sp?)- at normal levels they can be a match for a normal level super hero
-boss- on of these bad boys can take several heroes to conquor there strong and mean

then there are different type levels of course

-city zone- this is a relativly safe place
-hazard zone- a single hero on a high level can come in here to practice and fight without having to completly join a team also no citizen can live here (they are basically training zones)
-trial zones- in these no sane hero let alone a citizen will go into to far without a team by his side to help him battle evil
-elder zones- these havn't exactly been officialy placed on the website et but this kind of zone is made for enormous teams that even when they are in this mass it can take several hours to conquor one

The game comes out on April 28.

yep and i'm dyin for it like ya wouldn't believe but i got the preorder disc so i have a chance of gettin into the beta later

Yeah, I got it the preorder disc today. Haven't looked at it yet, though.

oh ya should the trailer is pretty cool and you get some good screen shots and the pre order guys should get in somewhere in mid march so the rumor goes

I would recommend everyone waits til the price drops and they fixxed all the bugs with the initial release

well they have been doing beta tests for awhile they had some at the beggining but the beta testers we've talked to have said that there's about no bugs at all they had some small lagging in heavily populated areas of the city but nothing serious the day they let the pre order guys in will be the ultimate stress test

Gambit88, which power did you get?
