Hey guys, i just downloaded the 15 day free Trial for COH/COV (City of Heroes / City of Villians)/

I was wondering, what servers do you play on ? What Builds do you like ? I am totally new to this game, but a long time vet of EQ1 / EQ2 / WOW / DAOC / Dabbled in AOC.

So feel free to use terminology of the MMORPG world at your pleasure, becuase i will understand exactly what you mean !

Hope to see some of you guys in game !
 
Well I haven't played in such a long time. I don't remember any of the classes anymore but I enjoy any ranger or attacking from the distance type of class. I remember City of Villans being a Graphics hog over City of Heroes. The one thing I do remember which I though was great was a character called Taxibot I think. He was a human player who was maxed out and would shot in global chat if anyone needed a teleport to safety or a rez. He would accept donations with in game currency if you wanted to help him/her. I thought it was great that a player was role playing in the game making it a memorable expierence. That is why I really got into The Matrix Online(b4 SoE took over) and LOTRO. Sadly I am not playing any MMOs ATM. I beta AoC but I want to rebuild my Comp. to run it maxd out and smooth. Warhammer is coming up. I have the code for closed beta but never got link for client so I'll wait for the reviews to come out.
 
I have an active account of Virtue, but I haven't been playing much recently. Really, if you're looking for a populated server, Virtue or Freedom is your best bet.

As far as build goes, that's all a matter of preference. If you're more into melee: Scrapper, Tanker, Brute, and Stalker. If you're into ranged damage: Blaster or Corruptor. If you're into buffing/healing: Defender or Corruptor. If you're into crowd control: Controller (my personal favorite) or Dominator.

Every class can solo pretty decently, so there's really not much concern of "Oh, if I pick this archetype, am I going to be permanently attached to a group's hip?" Controller and Defender are a little more group oriented, but that's mainly just because they have certain powers that only work on group members.

A great site for more into is the Paragon Wiki.

And, by the way, if you do decide you enjoy the game enough to buy it, they now sell it at Target for $20, which includes the full game for a month. It doesn't come with any of the box material, but it's probably the best deal you can get right now.

Anyways, hope you have fun!
 
Ok, i have a few more questions.. are you guys Villians or Heroes ?

Also, i have the 14 day free trial.. it does not seem to let me change any video options, and my mouse is inverted and since there are no options it makes me want to delete the game and never play it again lol.

Is there only no options in the demo ? Or is it like that with the full game ? Becuase i cannot play with my mouse inverted like this, it makes me crazy, not to mention if i keep playing like this i might stay this way forever(Cross your eyes too many times and they stay crossed ? >_< ).

That's strange. I know they have restricted some things on trial accounts (to prevent gold spamming), but I don't see why they'd limit video options. You were able the option menu and it just doesn't work?
 
No, i could not even find an options menu anywhere, in game or at the login screen..

Where it be ? lol

On the area if the screen where it shows your hp, endurance, and exp bars, there's the word "Menu". (This will be in the upper right-hand corner if you haven't moved anything.) Click "Menu" and you'll see something like this. Choose "options".

(Typing /menu in the chatbox or hitting "\" will also open the menu with "Options" in it.)
 
Guild Wars FTW
City of Heroes FTW
Guild Wars 2 = Going to be FTW

There is options in the COH trial all you have to do is go to menu and then options.

we are heroes! but will be makin villian characters in the future. also my global is enrion for everyone to add. make sure to play on freedom
 
i played for 4 years, and had to stop for various reasons, i MIGHT come back, but mostly likely not...

Tips to people who are starting out : Research the builds, just becuase something looks cool on paper, doesnt mean its good.

Knockback is the most annyoing thing in the game while on a team, so be carefull with it

Ice/em tanks, ice/em blasters, rad/psi defenders, fire/kin trollers, illusion/rad trollers, and spine/regen scrappers are FTW, good at pvp, and good at pve
 
I'm just going to wait for Champions Online. Combat system seems to be more fluid than CoH.
