And yeah, given we did the kickstarter, we kinda have to charge for it. Also, well, it keeps us running and developing.

I wish we had a publisher or someone advancing us the funds, we're doing our best with what we have.

Nah, I totally want to give it to everyone. I just can't.

Crasical: see the end of the video. Technically, we have player powers, they just don't have animations, so right now combat looks like two people standing next to each other till one of them no longer has a red bar. Then one wanders off. We're currently working our tails off on fixing that.

Can't wait to try out City of Stoics

Personally I appreciate you keeping this thread updated, I think I follow the CoT twitter but hardly ever actually see what it posts. If you don't post here I might miss it whenever it's ready. Despite CoH reappearing, I'm still really eager and hopeful for this successor, whenever it's ready. Thank you!

Exactly this. I am genuinely looking forward what a modern MMO taking lessons from City of Heroes and the scores of post-WOW MMOs could do.

I'm so desperate for a modern superhero game that it's making me crazy.

I love CoH but I can't really play it anymore. It's just too old and I've seen so much of it.

If a modern MMO could somehow have the same level of movement as Just Cause, I'd flip out.

A lot of the alignment missions for Rogues and Vigilantes are kinda... off.

Like one time, you hear about a young sidekick who is posting all kinds of secrets on social media. To show him the error of his ways, you have some of your friends in Malta (???) kidnap his grandmother, then lead him on an elaborate chase and lead him to believe that his mentor has been killed... then at the end, grammy dies of a heart attack, the young hero attacks you, and you have to put him down. Ah well, lesson learned.

https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Mission:Tip_-_The_Dragon%27s_Whelp

On another one, the player gets a personal note from Positron telling you that the Fifth Column have filled out all the proper paperwork and are going to have a perfectly legal parade, and although he doesn't agree with them, it's all aboveboard, and you're not to interfere, mmmmkay??? Okay, so what's a hero to do? Why of course, you bust into the nearest Fifth Column base, hack the computer, and reprogram the Wolfpack robots to fire on the civilians watching the parade!

The vigilante ones you get in the rogue isles are specifically for heel turning so yes they're messed up.

I think that would take some insane reworking of the game to do something like that. Nothing has changed in that regard.

trick arrow is extremely good and fun now, it might as well be a new set

elec affinity is okay. just fine all around. i like it enough to play it, but i like it more on controller and MMs

that sonic blaster secondary looks like shite but i haven't played it so maybe i'm wrong

i am completely brainfarting on other new-new sets though. not counting pools.

EM doesn't suck complete rear end anymore!

iirc the beta stuff right now is basically just upping speed caps on travel powers but not much else. Stuff's kinda at a snail's pace

i guess energy melee's rework was enough to be new all over again, yeah. some new mechanics, one new power.

saying it 'doesn't suck complete rear end' is an understatement though since EM is now competing for one of the best melee sets in the game.

Feeling the itch to play again. Apparently it's been 400-600 days since I've logged into my homecoming characters.

Where do people play now? What builds got buffed/nerfed? Did they ever figure out how to make the Sentinel archetype cool and good?

e: turns out the homecoming discord has live server stats and at this moment Excelsior has 430 players online, Everlasting 270. Everlasting is the unofficial RP server according to a year old reddit post.

Carful with that build. Storm is great but melee heavy MMs struggle with it. Necro maybe the most since their AI is hot dookie.
