Welcome back!

 

I thought I was moved when I cast my first sound effect in the tutorial, but it was the opening music when first approaching City Hall in Atlas Park that really got me.

I first played CoH on a laptop without a dedicated graphics card.  It is amazing how good the game can actually look.

I was lucky enough to find Homecoming fairly early. Not at the beginning but within a few months of the public date. 

 

I was all nervous, made a character - I mean I had been able to use the character generator before with the City of Chat thing, but then I was in Outbreak...... and nothing worked. Quick reload and OMG I am really playing the game and the MUSIC hit me like a smell keying up memories. 

 

Then it was a matter of remembering how to do binds and macros. 🙂

And find Ouroboros, and the Field Analyst, and oh yeah Galaxy City, and, create and edit my chat channels, and what the hell is an an Amplifier and ooOo I can Teleport to contact, and wait did I just use Practiced Brawler while stunned? And a billion other new or new again things ...

Welcome (back) to the (concrete) jungle!

 

Because it is new, at first chance, grab all the exploration badges in Atlas Park and unlock your new green travel menu button.  Then be sure to tag at least one exploration badge in each zone you visit.  You'll appreciate it later when you need to reach a previous zone quickly.  Also watch for exploration badge tours.  Some kind souls have taken to guiding and guarding teams of new characters, helping them unlock all the travel power zones in short order.  It helps when it comes time to do the Numina Task Force.

Yeah, it was the sound effects when you choose your origin - that's what did it for me. Actually the sound effects and music were the biggest 'its real' generating feels when I came back. How about that whoooosh sound when you log in! Glad they found a way to bring that back in.

Welcome home!
 

Can't wait to see you in-game!

I've been back since August 2019.... and I'm still not 100% sure this is really happening.
