[20th Anniversary Q&A - Question Submission Thread]

A question for everyone.

 

How did you feel about Enhancement Diversification? What was the general opinion surrounding it? Were you worried about any backlash?

[The Officially Unofficial Weekly Discussion #75: Do you (or have you ever) run teams deliberately that were not 1 or 8 characters and what is your ideal team size?]

Me and the wife run a duo. This gives me a break from the steamroll and presents much more of a challenge. It's nice to play a more difficult version of the game sometimes.

[Favorite characters you play]

Shield/Psi Tank

ill/Storm Controller

Storm/Ice Blaster

Electric/Plant Blaster

Necromancy/Dark Mastermind

[City of Heroes 20th Anniversary: Time Capsule Event, Q&A With Original Team, Costume Contests]

A great way to celebrate. Pity about the contest times (my early start always kicks me in the pants where these things are concerned) but the rest of it sounds good. Can't wait to start farming some goodies!

[What year is it?]

The CRT monitors have got to be a clue as to the year. Although there's far better tech than that so it's a very odd mismatch.

[What does City of Heroes mean to you?]

It's very important due to the fact its about the only game my wife can play that I also play. She's bloody terrible at just about everything else. Watching her 'play' Left 4 Dead was hilarious.

Don't hesitate. Got it in my rig and its fantastic. Price vs performance, temps, all good.

[New computer - ultra mode looks fantastic]

I'm currently eating a toasted sandwich and running my game on a computer and it looks just fine.

[The age old question.....]

I feel we should bless the pool if its going to be so much fun...

[Why is Kinetic Melee still bad?]

They have tons to do with limited time and resources.

[To respec or not...]

I was very lucky with my main. The laser eyes change meant just swapping an enhancement out and that was it.

[Wolfgang smergnof base builder]

This has nothing to do with the above post either but UP THE IRONS! Seeing Bruce in May!

[Is relying on procs good game design?]

You don't 'need' to rely on them at all, people just like to.

[Can't use the transit to get back to Atlas. Stuck in Kings Row.]

That’s why you should play red side. The ferry entrance and exit is the same!

Lol no wonder red side is pretty bleak, that's one of the only reasons to play there!😉

[How confident are you that your build is properly slotted?]

With my main, 100% confident. Over the course of 3 years I tweaked it. OCD tends to take over. Luckily the changes currently in beta only mean that I have to swap out one enhancement. Respecs at 50 are a pain in the arse.

[CoH Original CD preorder pics, Beta Manual & email :)]

Still go my CoH big box with map, comics etc. What a day. Didn't even know what an MMO was.

[one single word]

Doughnuts

[NCSOFT & Homecoming License Announcement]

Who would have thought it all those years ago. Well done people! 🤘

[Where did you go post-Sunset?]

I went to Champions and got bored within a month (managed to bump into a coh friend there though). Then I tried DCUO. I loved a lot about it except for the low level cap, lack of zones and the main game really being the endgame. Then I played Lord of The Rings Online for over 700 hours with my wife until I was done with that. Somewhere in between all this I also tried WoW, D&D and Tera. Nothing held my interest really.

 

I gave up hoping any of those 'spiritual successor' games would be in a fit state while I was still alive.

 

Oh and I forgot, Star trek Online for all of 2 minutes.

[If anyone needs brain exercise…]

I want to learn german as I'm a Rammstein fan but I'm far too lazy.

[MutantsRUs and Preferred Origins]

My main is a mutie due to my love of the X-Men movies. There's something about them that elevates them above most MCU movies for me. Can't even put my finger on why.

[Do you think City of Heroes helps make you a better person in real life?]

Not in the slightest. I'm a nice enough person out in the real world but in games I'm a complete nutjob.

[The Old Days]

My very first Frostfire (which went VERY badly) led to the creation of "The Predominantly Dead" sg. We never teamed again, however it was funny at the time.

[I can't believe I got that name!]

Managed to grab "Freezing Furnace" for my Fire/Ice Tank. I thought I'd have a worse problem with an elemental name.

[OCD!]

(Without playing the victim) I have severe OCD and this is something I do, too. Nice to see I'm not alone in all these habits lol.
