Hi, im sorry if I post this in the wrong place. This is my first time ever playing CoH and I have some questions that might seem dumb. 1. As this is my first time is there any recommended archetype? 2. If I choose a villian archetype, can I still play as a hero? 3. I have a full time job and will only be able to play sporadicly, so im gueesing team up wont be a option, is there anything I should think about when I want to solo? Thank you!
