First of all let me thank you all for bringing this wonderful game back to us! I missed it so much while it was gone that I would have dreams of jumping over Atlas Park!
I am over joyed that it has returned!
I dove right in and haven’t looked back. I’ve made a zillion characters and quickly remembered why I love this game.
I also quickly found a hole that plagued me when the game was live.
My issue is finding a group doing something meaningful within the time frame I have available to play. I’m a hands on dad with a full time job. I get an hour in the evening maybe and something like a TF that has the more substantive rewards is just out of range based on how much time I have available.
I still street sweep, do doors and tips with pick up teams but the real meaty stuff is off the table for me.
Then Home Coming hit and I discovered Death From Below. It’s brilliant. I don’t even care about the XP nerf that was applied to it. Being able to run from 1-20 in a few hours was nice but really the best part was being in a focused content based mission that I could get quickly and finish in a reasonable time.
Now after lv 20 it isn’t so viable but still fun and I do them anyway...and frankly..I want more!
I think what CoH would really benefit from is a a suite of quick, compact repeatable missions just like DFB. Maybe you have one for every 10-20 levels with room to over lap. I don’t even care what the rewards are; a few merits, slightly enhanced XP, better salvage, etc. Its the ease of getting a level appropriate task in a central location that I can do as many times as I want in the time I have available that appeals to me. If the popularity of DFB is any indication people would be all over such content!
