I’d heard a lot of people say it was very slow and old school, but it’s actually not that bad. The combat is also better than I expected. I think I heard something about the Homecoming team tweaking the graphics, so that might have something to do with it. I especially like how moody the villain starting area is. They’re clearly not state of the art, but this is still a very nice-looking game, in a cartoony sort of way. I am impressed with how incredibly well the graphics have held up.
In a cosmic irony, we may now find ourselves in a world where TSW refugees flee to CoH. With the wealth of costume and build options, I can see why so many CoH refugees ended up in The Secret World. Each character took me at least an hour to create because I just got lost in all the options. I never thought I’d say this, but it might have too many options. I tell you, that character creator could consume my life. I’m not sure if it’s something I’ll sink a lot of time into in the long term, but I see the appeal. I’m still very early in the game, so my impressions are very basic, but so far I’m enjoying it. However, I didn’t like the aesthetics of savage, so I used the ability to import and export costumes to quickly reroll with psionic powers instead, which seem to fit a bit better. I went brute as my archetype, initially with savage melee and regeneration as my power sets. To that end, I’ve now made a villain alt to play solo. It wasn’t a good way to learn about the game, though, as we mostly just zerged through things. I focused on pistols as my main power set and went with a Victorian-inspired outfit - I was thinking Helen Magnus. I rolled a blaster, mainly because Bree told me it wasn’t a good choice for a newbie. I’ve been meaning to give CoH a try - having never played back in the day - for a while, and it seemed like a good team-building exercise, so I opted to swallow my stage fright and join in.
This past Wednesday night, nearly the entire Massively Overpowered staff gathered together to play City of Heroes on the Homecoming rogue servers whilst being livestreamed by our own MJ Guthrie.
