Screw it, me too.

Character creator is still awesome. That took me about 45 minutes this morning.

And so many powers have opened up on each side, I wasn't sure what to make. I didn't want to exactly recreate Nyx Stele, as that would be boring. But I kept her a Dark scrapper and just switched up the secondary.

I went with Torchbearer to play with Java hopefully. Running around Atlas Park felt so good. And seeing calls for sewer teams to level in chat brings back a lot of memories.

@Stele like the old days.

we'll see if I can get the game downloaded even. I started downloading last night and its still downloading

Amuk has been created! I'm on Torchbearer hopefully can play with Stele and Java and anyone else who wants to play!

After doing a few solo missions to shake off the rust I joined a sewer team and got to around level 11 last night. That's still the way to go if you want to get out of Atlas Park early.

Holy crap I found my keyboard binds folder that I saved from 7 years ago.

That's going to help a lot.

Is there a way to voice chat in the game?

My global handle is Javamancer in the game. Feel free to send me a friend request.

I remember the Super Jump was so ridiculous (you could leap skyscrappers) it was one of the best things in MMOs ever.

I just read that the Homecoming team is going to continue development on the i25 release for the current servers. I'm confused as to what exactly is going on, but that sounds like good news in that we won't have to migrate to an i24 server at some point.

Also, a 4chan team has released their own publicly funded servers. Apparently their big selling point -- beyond asking people for donations -- is "no moderation". Doesn't appeal to me at all, but it's a thing.

Ohhh I see what happened, last night someone anonymously gave them the SCORE source for i25 -- https://twitter.com/CityofHeroes00/s...

This whole drama has been fascinating. Twists and turns every single day.

All I know is, I'm having more fun in a multiplayer game than I've had in years. It doesn't matter to me which issue we're on, just glad it's back.

I think my global handle is jrralls but I'm not sure.

global handle is karmajay

Is there an easy way for us to form a group? For that matter, how does one go about joining groups?

Just hit level 10 earlier, time is pretty limited till after the 16th when I have my Statistics final. Only character I have is Amuk who is a fire/fire blaster. Not quite the same as the original version that was fire/gadgets, but then fire rain and caltrops was a lethal combo before it was nerfed back in the day, lol.

Could see if we can get a channel in the GWJ discord, that way get voice and have an easy way of linking up.

It probably goes without saying that it's a really bad idea to connect to a server whose source code is controlled by 4chan...

How do you put enhancements on abilities again?

Sounds good. I keep looking for people on Steam but it's obviously not showing anyone in-game.

In the ui click on enhancements then manage. Drag and drop from the enhancement bar to open slots. Mouse over each power to see which enhancements they will accept.

You can also combine like enhancements in the same menu. Click on a slotted enhancement and follow the prompts.

Click on enhancements in the lower right, then click on manage and a new window should pop up where you can drag and drop. You can also combine them to a certain point to make the enhancements more powerful

Server transfers are available: https://i.redd.it/ymy7fdcvjiw21.png

So do we want to set up a Super Group on one of the lower pop servers? I will not go to a pvp server, but otherwise, if we want to go somewhere other than Torchbearer, I'm ok with it. The awesomeness and nostalgia of this game has been wonderful when I have gotten to play. Amuk is level 12, almost 13 now. Finding it harder to solo though as I level up as a blaster.

I am vested in Everlasting. FYI pvp has always been battleground centric. There is no open world ganking.

My only real problem with this game is they never had any cosmetic progression so the grind and repetitiveness creeped in quickly.
I could spend hours in the character creator though. I can't wait to recreate my controller and mastermind. the "tanks" were pretty cool too!

Reached level 32 with my stone tanker, grabbed Granite Armor (highest rank armor) then hit /respec. I like how you can immediate 6-slot it with a respec, instead of gradually slotting it over the next few levels. Now I need to hit Terra Volta for another respec slot.
