Issue 14 of City of Heroes went live the other day, with this issue bringing in a really interesting piece of functionality to the game. The ability to create and share your own missions and storyarcs. The idea of adding user-generated content to the game is really interesting, so I’m definitely reactivating my subscription to [...]
After a productive day yesterday sorting the lawn and the like, today I threw myself into some gaming.
After the announcement of issue 12 of City of Heroes I thought it was time to checkin on the game and see what had changed. So, after quickly re-subscribing I patched my client and logged in. [...]
Well, I10 Invasion is now live. I logged in to check it tonight, and good Lord! If the lag is anything to go by, its definitely got a few people back playing the game.
Still, its a really good piece of work. I managed to nab a video of me checking out [...]
I’ve been talking to a friend a lot about creating a hero to reflect the fact I’ve been playing City of Heroes ever since Issue 1. So I finally got around to it tonight.
For the name, I went with The I1 Veteran for obvious reasons. I decided I wanted a grizzled, Nick Fury-esque [...]
The other day I noticed I hadn’t received any veteran rewards in City of Heroes since Issue 8 (in which they were introduced) had gone live. I went in and checked my account details, and sure enough what seemed to have happened is that only my UK account time was being taken into [...]
I set up a test server copy of City of Heroes on my PC last night to check out Issue 10.
The actual invasion scenario itself is great. Above you can see my character tailing 3 dropships as they attack Peregrine Isle, carpet-bombing the streets below. Sadly my hyper-phase power had konked out, [...]
Well, issue 10 of City of Heroes has hit the test servers. The Invasion event is looking to be as much fun as we might’ve hoped.
Here’s a clip of a dropship flying through the city, only to be attacked by (presumably) a Supergroup that someone’s put up on Youtube. Looks [...]
Typical, just as I’m about to cancel my City of Heroes subscription, they go and announce this:
Issue 10: Invasion
It looks brilliant, and a big server-wide story event like this should be really good fun.
Don’t get me wrong when I say I was going to cancel my subscription though, its not that I dislike the game. [...]
I’m such a sucker for MMORPGs. Granted, I’m quite an anti-social gamer, so end up playing most of them for about 2 days before getting bored and chucking it. Including World of Warcraft. Its more a commentary on what I look for in gaming though, rather than the games themselves.
The only real [...]
