classic non-AE/non-farmie guide ('leveling quickly' is not super accurate for the new version of the game. still good info) https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Strategy/Leveling_quickly also helpful https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/New_Player's_Guide_to_Life_Outside_the_AE_Building From zero to level 35/40 (suggestions, not definitive) After 35/40 there is tons of content.

More constructively, for each character folks can already do this on the test server, Heck folks can already do this on all servers in Bloody Bay, Siren's Call, Warburg, Recluse's Victory.

too late.. this idea sucks. i'm not saying you suck, just this suggestion.

I should buy you a pint at some point. Fremont & Sandy, Prescott & Cully, the mess of 39th & Sandy. And hopefully you haven't had to do too much driving since Friday night, it's icky and no one knows how to drive. I'm a fan of the mess that is Sholls Ferry/Beaverton Hillsdale. (yes I've been to Portland) ..at least portland intersections can be colorful with lots of helpful signage.. and what are the white things? force fields?

I do eet for the XP man!

Tanker Super Reflexes/Claw is really straight forward. But don't sleep on Shield Defense and say War Mace (shown below)

..and your other post "Good AT/build for a handicapped player?" Answer: Forgiving without too much timing or clickiness? Tanks and Brutes fit the bill. Alternately a Brute might be a good fit if you are worried about making mistakes (tank goes down it might be the only tank on the team). (Broot = ~10% less def though) Tanky Tank Suggestions Primaries (solid without too many clicks or management): Super Reflexes Shield Defense (SR light. See image below) Invulnerability Secondaries (Hard hitting or smooth damage without fancy combo mechanics): Stone Melee (hits hard and knocks targets down) Dark Melee (has a nice heal mixed in with solid attacks) Claws (can effectively use just a handful of powers. some folks just use three) Axe Melee War Mace Energy Melee (it hits hard even if there is a weird combo "Use Total Focus then choose one of three options" Martial Arts When you are ready I can show you a Bane Spider (Arachnos Soldier) that feels like a tank that adds some range, debuffs and stealth while not being complicated to play. But that's a story for another time.. A note on Shield Defense = 40% positional (Melee, Ranged, AoE) defense very early with SOs. (46% shown below)

it's a regen tank.

flea..

devs posted images of two different coins in this thread.. as a c l u e . .

uh, i don't think there is a reboot. link if you know different. Homecoming did get an official NCSoft license but that's different.

Magnifico! Great job, Troo. I am still loving this costume. It just works, hovering around blasting everything.

Hey there, way to pick up the weekly topic! You're a hero! I emote only through the menu and sometimes I'll type stuff '..em/doublefacepalm' or '..em/shocked' rather than doing the animation.

So close.

There could never be too much of that.. maybe I should avoid saying 'never'. I am all for reskinning mix and matched powers to create different power sets.

I believe some plans were paused in anticipation of recent news. Perfect time to start eyeballing a return. I don't think you've missed much. Oh wait, @Jimmy.. so that's something.

the thread above had 50+ replies a player can check out

yeah you should likely have gone fire/dark corruptor as it appears you like doing damage more than debuffing. (i prefer rad/dark though) we can play corruptors hero side if you prefer that content.

Hammer Star "oh that tickles" StarHammer.costume --- guess that build ---

Some good tips in here which are still relevant.

"The Game is not Balanced around IO's"..... should it be? Is end game balanced around IOs? Are there SO only characters participating in endgame content? Are there builds which don't leverage uniques and procs doing Dr. Aeon Strike Forces?

hypothetical banter aside.. Congratulations Homecoming team!

I was just typing this suggestion!! But if they've played hundreds of characters it's likely been tried, C'est la vie Massive control and massive damage don't really converge in COH until very late game. Mostly, it's choices and trade offs.

also in the news City of Heroes Homecoming talks funding, the City Council, and the impending content drop 'Our prime directive is to keep the servers online and available to everyone' https://massivelyop.com/2024/01/05/city-of-heroes-homecoming-talks-funding-the-city-council-and-the-impending-content-drop/

Wait, what is a 'schrodinger'? Am I going to get a bunch of naughty links if I google that?
