kevinrbrown Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I never, ever thought I'd be back on the streets of Atlas Park. Was there for the protests when the servers were being shuttered; thought, 'welp, guess we had a good run'. This is amazing. i don't know how or why or WTF with this, but I am so glad someone cared enough and did the hard work necessary to bring back our City of Heroes. 19 2 10 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techwright Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) Welcome, Home! The game is not static, so you'll likely want to read up on all the changes made since 2019. Travel options are one of the big changes. It's a lot easier to get around these days. We've new zones, new power sets, new costume pieces, new mission givers, a new strike force on the red side, etc. Lots to see and do. Not certain what your play style is like but: Excelsior currently has the largest crowd Everlasting has the largest role-play crowd Reunion is the European server Indomitable and Torchbearer have fewer numbers, but that's what their people often prefer.

I hit level 4 and was like, '...I am SO SURE you did not get to choose a travel power at level 4, even when the game was on its last legs.' XD UIX changes are amazing. I used to play exclusively on Virtue, so if you know you know, but frankly Double XP sounds great to me at this point in my life. Also will probably try out the previously unlockable classes because... well, why not? Never had the opportunity to try them before. Kept creating new characters before I ever hit the level cap. 😛 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that in addition to the low population servers having double XP, you can visit the S.T.A.R.T. vendors (formerly the P2W vendors) and under Temporary, choose boosts that for a trade-off in influence will grant x0.5, x1, or x2 XP. There's a start vendor to the Atlas statue's right, and another in Pocket D. There's one up on the ledge near the base portal in Mercy Island as well, if you're red side. I don't recall where the gold side one is, but most players don't start with that side their first time or two, so it probably doesn't matter. Depending on when and where you're online there are players with lots of spare cash (INF) who like to watch Atlas for new players and give them a cash boost.

Without_Pause Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Just an FYI, I've enjoyed my character far more if I leveled them without using a 2x XP booster. I can't imagine using one for a set I have never played. 1 1 Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Emma Strange: Ill/dark Controller. 5. Project Next: Ice/stone Brute. 6. Waterpark: Water/temp Blaster. 6. Mighty Matt: Rad/bio Brute. 7. Without Hesitation: Claws/sr Scrapper. 8. Within Reach: Axe/stone Brute. 9. Without Pause: Claws/wp Brute. 10. Chasing Fireworks: Fire/time Controller. "Downtime is for mortals. Debt is temporary. Fame is forever."

Marshal_General Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I think all the servers have increased xp. We level way faster than I remember from live. Do a posi 1 and 2 and you will pretty much end up skipping several zones of content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmperorSteele Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 You say you played on Virtue? You'd probably feel at home on Everlasting, as that's where the RPers largely congregate. Bring a lint roller, lotsa Catgirls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
