Latex Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I often get talking to friends who are looking out for the next MMORPG and I also often recommend City of Heroes. Most people haven't even heard of the game and I struggle to describe it in modern terms, people are quick to form an opinion so summarizing CoH into something bite-sized seems like a good idea.Make your own character not just Heroes but catgirls and everything in-between, every mission is an 8 player raid, personal loot for everyone, some good min/max endgame, 48 player raids, lots of RP. That's typically how I try to sum it up, how would you sum up the game in a sentence to someone that has never even heard of it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraAlt Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 The best Superhero MMORPG ever created filled with an incredible diversity of customization on every level including costumes, powers, power special effects, base building, mission design, and more. 2 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
