The powers that animate with two pistols are all pretty strong, but there's only ~ 4 of them. You'll need to accessorize.

Flesh Forge posted:Eh it's not really any worse than any other MMO out there and better than a lot of them, the thing is you level out of the missions wayyyyyyy too quickly for how they're scaled and really there's no big reason to do them in sequence anyway, most of the story arcs are totally independent of each other. It's at its worst in Vibora Bay when even if you start the unlock absolutely as soon as it will let you, you're still gonna be 40 before you even get a quarter or less through the zone content and it's all 37-39. Which is a blessing, because Vibora Bay has the worst instanced dungeons in the game. "Hey, remember all those horrible same-y warehouse runs from City of Heroes?"

Bluhman posted:I don't even know why that lair has trash mob floors, they just kind of waste time compared to the much more involved bosses. They give a really bad false impression about how difficult the lair actually is. I don't even know why this GAME has trash mob floors. gently caress trash mobs.

I have absolutely gotten my money's worth out of my lifetime subscription. I would probably not pay $15 to access my heap of freeform characters for a month at this point. I might pay $50 once, but not per character. kafziel posted:I suppose let me be the first of ... many(???) people driven to give this game a whirl by the recent Monster Factories. In my case, at least, it's *another* whirl, having played it quite a lot back in the day. Mostly solo, never really got into the high levels or the big group content. I felt a twinge of pride when they hit the Random button and, for a moment, couldn't figure out how to improve on what they got. kafziel posted:My main is/was a freeform attempt at a Heavy Weapons tank. It seems to be going okay, trying it again, but I am running into a bit of difficulty with staying alive soloing. Any suggestions on a good heal power? Or should I just rely on devices? Also, anything to speak of for that build in general? What passive are you on?

I'll defer to Bluh on whether Defiance + Resurgence should be fine, or if there's another passive that would serve you better. Just wanted to be sure you hadn't gone with Fiery Form or something. I will say that my Defiance build is to stack Defiance with Parry and some of the other Dodge/Avoidance buffs. Spreading your defenses out like that helps you skirt the diminishing returns model.

There's a reasonable amount of content to play with, assuming you've never played any of it before. It's fun to dick around with freeform builds until it isn't anymore. There's an endgame centered around gearing up to fight worldbosses that I've never really bothered with, but other people here have. If you want build help, you should spell out exactly what it is you want to do.

I slapped 'em together in an album - some CO veterans might get a kick out of some Milennia Rangers screenshots I took while putting together the footage all those years ago: I still show that video to people. I'm so glad I'm in it.  EDIT: And then I have to explain about Draysha.

Reinstalled to play with the costume editor for five minutes, hung around to see what they've done with powers lately. Looks like electric and fire both got some attention? They have their own stances instead of Concentration, a couple of new powers, etc. Apparently Jack Emmert hopped ship to Daybreak a year ago? Looks like we got a new King of Maintenance Mode, boys...

I think they're all T4 powers, so you can only take one per character. The original T4 powers (still free so far as I know) ranged from "combos with another known-good power" to "you could build around making this power work and it would still be trash". EDIT: yeah, they used to require ten powers from a specific group of power sets, but that was asinine and got removed for the "just be level 35" thing LordSaturn fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Feb 18, 2018 |

Jabarto posted:I"ve been playing this game off and on for a while and finally hit 40 on my first character. What should I be looking at to acquire endgame gear? Flesh Forge posted:It's bought with silver and gold recognition, which you get most quickly from doing cosmic monster kills but you'll need a lot more silver rec so you'll be wanting to do a lot of the other content like Qliphothic War Zone, Nemesis Confrontation and whatever. There's a set that requires a ton of token drops from all the the Rampage alerts too. Look in the Champion Recognition vendor in the Recognition kiosk in MC. while you're working on that, it's worthwhile to farm the nemesis system to get heirloom gear. it's useful both immediately, and then to twink out your alts

I dunno, any of them could be fun. Which one was a goon project again? I'd really have to get my hands on any of them to know what I think, there's so much distance between screenshots and gameplay. That said, it seems to me like a colossal mistake to launch an MMO in the current market, capes or no capes. I can't say I disagree with the facts of any of the bitter comments on massively. The game has been on maintenance mode for years, and it was always kind of shonky and broken, despite how much fun I've had in it and how much it's improved.

if you haven't heard, City of Heroes is back, go over here to figure it out: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3767383 EDIT: I should be clear, in case someone gets their hopes up: there's no server at the moment. there was before, and there may be again soon.

being locked out of the freeform system means you can't do any of the things we've traditionally done to trivialize content, which means you get to notice that the game isn't balanced too well
