Need Info on grouping in CO!

Castillle

So like..I played this a long time ago and back then, the only team missions you can do in CO are...The lairs.  We were able to do an adventure pack but it was just serpents lantern and I was mostly just like..."Bleh-.-  "

 

So NOW! Id like to know from you guys how grouping this game is like..Now!

 

I heard somewhere that there was a pve version of zombie apoc and I thought that sounded pretty fun.  Also, have there been lairs and stuff like that added to the game?  o.o

 

And the biggest question o.o  Do you think that the game is as group friendly as City of Heroes? o.o

It's no way near as group friendly as City of Heroes in terms of xp progression but at the same time you aren't hampered if your not in a group, like COH.

 

The zombies thing is an event with Blood Moon, which happens once a month I think.  

I don't think there's been many Lairs added since launch but what you do have now is adventure packs.As it stands you have Serpent Lantern, which is a bit tedious, Demonflame, a magic based adventure pack which is pretty tough and the new one Resistence, which is IMO the best of the bunch in terms of fun. 

There's also a new group quest chain that ties in with the events after Serpent Lantern.  Apparently these updates are going to become regular.

 

The community seems to be a lot larger now as well, which obviously helps with group.  I don't just mean silver players as well a lot of people are actively looking for people to try the more challenging version of the Destroyer factory, token farming, and so on...

 

As a game it still has problems but grouping wise it is better then previously.

Hmm..Well that sounds nice..But I seriously played the living daylights out of the lairs from dr destroyers lab to bronze king to therakiel x.x

 

Seriously! for about a month, my gf and I were doing groups everyday for ALL the lower tier lairs, maybe 2 nem cons, then therakiel!   We get to do bronze king and the other one in monster island which had you falling in lava everyfew days or so o.o

 

o.o  I dont really mind not having exp for them as long as I get groups fast o.o  I have like..8 level 50s already and I have no intention of doing the quest grind again especially since they removed the tough civilian missions x.x

 

By updates, do you mean adventure packs? Or lairs?  And nooo I dont mean blood moon! I remember there was a post somewhere in the forums saying that they implemented a thing you can queue for that is just like zombie apocalypse pvp map except like...its pve o.o  or is that a blood moon only?

I think the Zombie Apocalypse is a Hero Games thing, (can you tell I haven't done them at all? :P), actually so yeah you can do that any time.  Sorry for the inaccuracy. It sort of is more pve then the other heroes stuff as your just surviving against waves of zombies.

 

There's basically the new Comic Series missions, which are like I said before, and the adventure packs. The last lair they implement was Therakiel, since then they haven't added any and probably aren't likely to as they have this new comic series thing.   TBH if you have 8 lv50 I'd say you've seen most of what this games ever going to offer :P

Castillle

o.o  Rats! I was hoping theyve added more stuff already but apparently not x.x Its a shame because CO is soooooo very fun when you hit that sweet spots of right amount of challenge along with the right amount of background changiness o.o

If you have lvl 50 character in CO they would be Gods there

Let me to point out a few things they have done for teaming:

1. More adventure packs and comic serie. Demonflame, Resistance and just out of the oven Aftershock(comic series is like an adventure pack but on installments).

2. Project awakening and Stronghold prison got reviewed and they scale to team size, those are in the lvl 23-27 range.

About Bloodmoon, it is an about  monthly and it is mainly about open missions

I didnt get to try serpent lantern in a team but what how is the scaling handled?  Like Citizen missions where AoE is king?  Or is it balanced more like Lairs with tough enemies and/or Enforcers?
