So, I've been an active member of this game as my joined date says, for eight years. I began playing when I was 15 years old, just after my 9th grade year (I turn 24 in October.). I played this game through three years of high school, four years of undergraduate work and now a year of my master's. This is roughly a third of my life. If I were to live to 80 years old, I will have played City of Heroes for a tenth of my life.
I took a few breaks here and there, but always knew that I'd be coming back at some point as I really do love this game. Needless to say, I'm quite saddened by this turn of events. The game was going in a great direction with its endgame and its build up. Back in the day, I'd see people make posts saying, "I don't really feel super." Or something along those lines. After the last few years, I feel like a bona fide badass. One of those times was just a few weeks ago.
I was doing an ITF with a team of 8 people, and we were in the first mission. I think four of them had never done the task force before. Our Tank wasn't level 50 and struggled. My Stalker was much more durable, as he was loaded. Being of a Scrapper mentality, I constantly move ahead. My attention can't be focused on a single mob. If we linger too long, I get bored and want the next one too. But I digress. We were at the last part of the first mission. The team was fighting at the bottom of the steps, and I moved up to the Minotaur on my StJ/Energy Armor Stalker. I killed the Minotaur before it fired off Unstoppable and spawned the ambush.
The rest of the team wiped. It was totally my fault.
However, feeling like a badass, I just trudged through the mob, one by one. Dropping bosses in anywhere from three to six hits like it seems that only Street Justice can do. The rest of the team rezzed or returned from the hospital to find the huge ambush roughly halved. And me, just punching things in the face. A few deaths later from the rest of the team, and we completed the mission.
This entire thing may have been a bit wrong of me, but darnit, I felt awesome.
Now, I suppose we just have to wait for CoH 2. Because no other MMOs appeal to me even slightly.
I have a lot of times that I felt pretty damn awesome in this game. Anybody else care to share their's?
