Long time gone...

So I have been gone from the game for four years and decided to come back. A lot seems to have changed since then (of course), and i was wondering if anyone had the time to go over some of the major changes. For example, back when I was playing people were six slotting hasten with recharge, and when i look at builds i am only seeing 3 slots now. Did they change how slots work, is there a cap? Thanks in advance!

Slots have diminishing returns after 3, so its rather pointless to go beyond 3.

Honestly, so much has changed in 4 years, it'd probably be best to forget most of what you used to know, make a new character, and learn the game all over again from level 1.

3 SOs that is. Enhancement Diversification uses the total value of individual enhancements and then adjusts them as you close in and exceed what three +0 SOs provided as benefit. Nice chart at the bottom of that page shows the effect most clearly.

That reminds me ... you need to find out what the major global chat channels are for the server you're on. Being able to ask questions while in-game is invaluable, and I'm sure you'll be able to find some folks to actually walk you through some of the new/changed stuff.

Yeah I did set up new characters when I came back, and that has helped some. I used to play on Infinity so have been spending most of my time there, however I see that there are more people logged into Freedom and Virtue, so have been considering a move.

Keep in mind that what you're seeing is server load, not necessarily 'more people'. Freedom and Virtue are the most populous servers, of course, but don't assume that because other servers have a single green dot that they're empty - the servers have been upgraded several times since you played four years ago and there are plenty of people on all the servers.

Infinity in particular is probably third or fourth in terms of population. Of course, since anyone can play on any server, populations are variable rather than static. Many people have characters on multiple servers.

In short, moving isn't necessary. If you want to, go for it, but don't feel that you need to. You don't.

Four years might merit a Welcome Package if you pick Virtue. Are there any specific questions you have? Otherwise, just treat it like CoX II: Similar, but Very Different From the Old Game You Used to Play.

I left to play World of Warcraft and played there the whole time. To be honest,what brought me back was the previews for CO, hehe, but now that I am back and playing I think I will stick around for quite a while, I am having a ton of fun and am getting ready to make my first redside character!!
