Can someone describe it please? you create and design your own superhero or villain and you have the option of going around and patrolling the city doing missions for contacts, or teaming up to protect the city, the planet, and sometimes the multiverse. You level up by getting xp and increase in security clearance or threat level the higher up you get the more powers you will have until you max out at level 50

i played for 2 years after release. It was a much better game during its release than it is now, theyve messed it up with patches, but if you were to start playing now you wouldnt know the difference.

Having played most MMO's made since 2001 this ranks up as my second favorite behind World of Warcraft. There is nothing "hardcore" about it like most other online games and its really just pure fun. Throw in the comic book aspect and its a blast.

You design your own hero, from costume to his backstory. Then you go through the city taking missions from contacts, other famous superheroes, and thrashing villains on the street. Villains range from your basic batman level street thug (you rarely ever fight just one villain at once mind you, its like a real comic book, your hero with fight around 15+) to some badass alien, high-tech villains.

Story arcs made the game most fun for me. These are like epic stories for your character that, if it was a real comic would result in several issues leading up to a climatic battle against a heavy level villain and usually saving the city somehow.

The game really makes you feel like a hero which is why i liked it so much, but now im waiting for Marvel Universe Online, which should be similar except i doubt the make the mistakes with MUO that they made with CoH. Until that is released though, Hellgate London (an online game made by the same people who made Diablo) comes out on halloween and im really looking forward to that.

If anyone out there plans on playing Hellgate London let me know

As long as frigging Spider-Man can't beat Surfer, or something insane like that. I realize play-balance is an issue, but if they ruin the characters in MUO I'll be upset.

Also, is it real-time in CoH? One of my concerns is that MUO will be too limited, not free-form like the Spider-Man series or Hulk: Ultimate Destruction....which would be orgasmic as MMO's.

You will be able to go anywhere in MUO, streets, top of buildings, inside buildings, anywhere. I dont think people like spider-man and the surfer will fight each other, but heroes like that would help guide you and give you missions. In some cases they might help you fight villains. For example if you have a long series of missions given to you by professor X and it culminates in a battle with The Blob, colossus might escort you on the quest and help.

Also, the storylines will follow actual comic storylines. For example, Captain America had he been alive when the game was released he would have died in the game when it happened in the comic. Or if for example, another onslaught type storyline occurs, the same thing would happen in the game.

yeah i've briefly played with Nvr before

Interesting. Sounds fun.

Though I'd be just as happy with straight deathmatching and tournament-style stuff. Fighting A.I. villians wouldn't be nearly as fun as annoying the hell out of a real person by jumping around like a schizo as Spidey.

haha, well you could still do that . . . group up with a team of other people before a big battle against a villain like juggernaut and instead of participating just jump up and down while you watch them die. Or better yet, do a /dance and watch your character do the moonwalk while juggernaut slams your party members into the ground. Thatll get them annoyed lol

I have this priceless image now of me doing the moonwalk as Spidey whilst Cap gets impaled on Juggernaut's fist. Thanks for the visual.

I'm SO buying this game.

Actually yeah, there are story arcs you can initiate at different times. If you actually pay attention to the stories, they are pretty interesting. Generic missions are cut and paste, but there's always a fun reason why you're doing it.

Anyway, I'm on COH. I'm a level thirty-something Scrapper on Freedom.

we should all get on the same server

I'm usually on Victory.

Are you still making those 'comic poster's cards?'

Since I don't really have my computer anymore it'll be a while. I really want to apologize to everyone over that. I guess I'll make a formal Announcement.

so uh..... city of heroes, huh?

...yea...

City of Heroes is indeed a fun game. Too bad none of my characters can go to different dimensions yet.

what level are you?

I didn't know you were a queen ?

anyone on the infinity sever?

Alright, time for a move to the video games forum. I like this game, and this thread, but it's not where it belongs.

I play it probably ten hours a week or so. It's just a fun game to play, really. And if you don't want to play it for a while, just cancel your subscription and pick it back up (within three months) and your characters will all be fine.

Anyway, if there's a move to get everyone on the same server and Hero/Villain side, I'm game. I'm up for either Freedom or Liberty.

I just started City of Villains recently its really fun, the super powers r awesome

It's either 21 or 22. It's been a while

And I'm under the Infinity server.

From stuff I've heard and read, this game seems awesome. I may very well get it.

Yeah, you should definitely try it. There's also some good videos of it on YouTube. I like how they use some type of mod to create certain characters for the game.

I have always been more of a villains guy, so I may get City of Villains. Also, it was said in this thread you could even battle multiversal threats? Also, do you have any suggestions on how I should build my character(not how he looks, that's for me to decide).

Multiversal threats? Now that's something I didn't know about. It must have been something new that I didn't know about.

I'm not sure what kind of built to suggest you with.

I may be a brute.

I may be a brute. I think that may be an add on i know they just introduced time travel as a new feature

Yeah, I have this game....

My server keeps disconnecting when I play it for some reason! Not cool. mad2

My terrible luck beats yours.

Right after I bought this game, my main computer was fried by a lightning bolt.

This crummy laptop can't even run Runescape without crashing, and if I'm lucky it can barely run Youtube.

I played COH for a few weeks last month and got bored of it after lvl 30 but the character creation is the best thing about this game. Don't think I ever seen two people who looked the same except for one supergroup where they all wear the same costume. Deffinatley the best character creation in any mmorpg I have played, although fun and unique to begin with like nearly every mmorpg it gets boring quick. Will deffinatley pick it up again at some point in the near future.

Darn! That's screwed up there. There's gotta be some way to fix that.
