You don't have time to play every arc in the game, but you can hit the highlights, and the newer zones and storylines tend to be the better ones. You must get some hunting in, and do it in a group for maximum particle effect awesomeness. Ride the rails, read the billboards, fly to the top of Atlas' globe, take one last long look inside the dreaded office map, and stand inside the donut hole. So go redside, at least once! Don't forget to undertake a mayhem mission, in which you rob a bank, defeat an iconic hero, and are actually rewarded for destroying inanimate objects like cars, dumpsters, and telephone booths.Ĭity of Heroes is filled with interesting places and strange points of interest that border on pure Easter eggs, like Drenched Donuts in Faultline. But City of Heroes provides a home in the Rogue Isles for your characters with darker impulses, those who enjoy a bit of light kidnapping, robbery, and world domination. Don't forget to play around with travel powers you can't fly, superjump, or teleport in many games!įew MMOs allow you to truly play a villain at best, you're playing some shade of grey with an ugly face, a bad guy who's just a little bit misunderstood. In fact, Paragon gave all players access to the VIP server, so you can even try out power sets that never made it to the cash shop, like Bio Armor and Martial Assault. It doesn't take long to get a new toon up to 20 or so, meaning you can easily try out archetypes and power sets you always meant to get around to rolling but never did. It might seem pointless to make a new character so close to the end, but leveling is speedy nowadays, especially if you group up with other lowbie characters in Death from Below and take advantage of the permanent double-experience buff. Do it! Be creative without even playing the game. I've even tricked non-gamer relatives into wasting a few hours making superheroes. I've more than once found myself designing costumes for characters I never got around to playing. I'm surely not alone in thinking that City of Heroes' character creator tool is a game in itself. Today, I'll tell you 10 things you should do in City of Heroes. But make sure you enjoy the game that exists right now, too. While there are still soldiers fighting for that slim chance NCsoft might sell the game to a willing investor, the likelihood is that it's game over for Paragon City, at least in its current incarnation. As we've been covering for the last month and change, NCsoft is pulling the plug on City of Heroes come the end of November, and the genre is faced with the loss of yet another pioneering and ostensibly profitable MMO long before its time. SWG was my favorite MMO of all time, and I was devastated to see it canned for licensing reasons, but I wanted to do it justice, and hey, at least I had my second-favorite MMO to fall back on, right? City of Heroes - now that was a game that had staying power! A year ago to the day, I grudgingly, sorrowfully published Ten things to do in Star Wars Galaxies before it's gone.
