What is your favorite thing about City of Heroes?

It can be more than one answer.

POST AWAY!!

That we have one of these topics every month.



No, wait, I take that back. It's the community. And being super.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than... anywhere on the Internet with the noted exceptions of Paragon City, the Rogue Isles (WHAT!?) and Praetoria.

costume creator, full stop.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

I love all of it

Costume creator, the lowest d*ckwad count on the internet, limitless three-dimensional movement no-stings-attatched (suck it WoW), the ability to be freaking anything, free expansions (suck it more WoW), and Ghost Widow's hawtness.

Standing behind Synapse and uping the graphics to Ultra Mode.


Best thing about the game is that you can be who ever you want to be.
Good/Bad
Tall/Short
Male/Female
Handsome/Ugly

The choices are all up to you.

I don't know what I should have as my favorite. :P

I like the lore. I like how you can fly... There are so many things.

That today I20 comes out

I am also addicted to the costume creator. I've run out of room in my sig for all the alts I've created. I need to figure out an alternate means of listing them.

I like the variety in the villain missions compared to the hero ones. Because villains are free to do whatever the hell they damn well please, no matter how absurd, simply because it sounds like fun. About 99% of hero missions are breaking up the villains' party and mopping up the mess they leave behind. Villains do things like take over an underground clone factory simply because they stumbled onto it, or draining the bank account of the ******* that blows it up (by walking up to the teller and asking politely, just to screw with the rest of the bank's patrons).

A lot of things. So much that it's easier to list what grinds my gears about it. I know it sounds contradictory, but the fact is, the only reason I complain so much and so passionately about this game like I do is because I LOVE IT. I've met all my best friends hear, including the love of my life! How do you top that in a game?

So there you have it, my standards for City of are so damn high because my expectations of a game that's given me great memories and great friends is pretty damn high.

The /demorecord feature. A godsend to machinima geeks like me.

And a community of players willing to do silly things for me so I can put them in videos.

Several things, and in no particular order (except perhaps the first, which is what keeps me subbing after nearly 7 years):

Wonderful friends and beloved characters.
Smooth, fluid character movement (unmatched in the MMO genre) that encourages "kinetic immersion."
Preponderance of instanced gameplay: little if any of that "take a number and get in line to fight this mission boss" nonsense.
Perfect balance between humor and "srs bzns" in the lore/content writing, just right for the superhero genre.
Polished subsystems like the auto-exemplaring, configurable difficulty, etc.

I've tried other MMOs, but the only two I've played for more than a month or so are LotRO (from launch, for about a year) and Fallen Earth. I currently play the latter, have for about a year and a half, and love it, but it's so different from CoH (or any other MMO), that it doesn't really occupy at all the same niche in my gaming world. Every other game fell quickly by the wayside, and I've never let my subscription to CoH drop in all these years. What more need I say?

My favorite thing about CoH? That there is no longer a glaring lack of significant endgame.

The thing I seem to be seeing a lot of recently.

Bump.
