  • City of Heroes and City of Villains were awesome. I guess not everyone agreed, because they don't exist any more. Personally, I do not want a game that is attached to an IP and I have zero interest in playing someone else's character. I want maximu…
  • I enjoyed the Secret World story chain right through Tokyo and all the Issues. I never liked dungeons, though, and didn't like stealth missions. Not wanting to run dungeons kept superior equipment out of my hands. I almost always played solo, though…
  • Thanks very much! That was very helpful. Is there any reason not to spend all my hero points on any ability I can? I've been hoarding them. I have to admit, I don't give a Skritt's ass about the story. Maybe some of the specializations will be fu…
  • ...and a follow up question. Are Hero Points good for anything else than working on specializations? I have a stack of them saved up.
  • Thanks. I guess that my main concern is that I don't have to end up grinding the stuff to finish the game. Augment kits will make me stronger, right? (Sorry for the elementary question - it has been a long time since I played the game and I forget)
  • Originally posted by Po_gg Originally posted by MudHekket One basic question I have is: What should I sell to vendors?  So far, I've been selling everything I don't equip to vendors to get enough money to buy a few blues at the AH. ...->…
  • Originally posted by Ortwig Just curious -- why don't you want to run dungeons?  They're a lot of fun, and you can gear up in short order with just a few runs. Because I don't enjoy the pressure of other people depending on me.   If I screw up i…
  • Thanks for the offer to help. I appreciate it!   One basic question I have is: What should I sell to vendors?   So far, I've been selling everything I don't equip to vendors to get enough money to buy a few blues at the AH.
  • I have no idea what stat spread I should look for. If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I blew my savings at the AH already, which helped a lot from where I was, but I was basically buying whatever would give me the most attack (with hit…
  • I loved running around blasting zombies in the modern town of Kingsmouth. Then I got to zone 2 and, while the towns were cool, the desert felt a bit like another fantasy game. When I got to zone 3, I realized that I had to do more dungeon grinding o…
  • From a business standpoint, the MMORPG genre has never been healthier.   If you want to know what the public will respond to, you need to rely on market research, like all the major companies do. Relying on what you personally want in a MMORPG wil…
  • It is important to distinguish artistic decline from financial decline. A game could be doing one but not the other.   The MMO genre is not in financial decline.  More companies may be competing for the pot, but the pot itself is not shrinking.  …
  • I think that there is no reason for MUDs not to be much more popular than they are.   Successful MMORPGs are inviting in ways that most MUDs are not, even when they could be.  MMORPGs tend to do a much better job of getting you right into the ac…
  • The word "hero" isn't helping because it clearly means different things to different people.   In my limited experience (but one that included EVE) sandboxes tend not to be ideal for people without long consecutive periods of time to spend.  Not…
  • Thanks.  I have now posted to the Guild Forum looking for a guild.   Can you tell me anywhere in particular I should go if I'm hoping to find humans to play with?  I own all expansions.  How do I find the "zaishen mission of the day"?
  • Any particular places worth trying?   Does the War in Kryta make a difference?  Is there a good place to hook up with groups for that>
  • I followed those links.  The character guides tell me that my first choice should be combat or crafter! So, how different is it to play different kinds of crafters? Also, the guide seems to suggest that there is no tanking role per se, just mele…
  • Originally posted by Zyrena Originally posted by MudHekket There are no pure combat characters are there?  Everyone is a crafter, right?     You don't have to craft a single thing if you don't want to.  However, you will be spending a lo…
  • The only real penalty for dying in PvP is wear and tear on your weapons and armor, other than faction penalties for killing the 'wrong' factions.   Can you say more about how bad this penalty is?  So far, PvP sounds fantastic.

  • There are no pure combat characters are there?  Everyone is a crafter, right?   What are the best factions for: A melee DPS specialist? A tank? A rifleman? A pistoleer?
