[QUOTE="fba827, post: 4246353, member: 807"] Yes, I know, City of Heroes is a game that has been around a while now. But, since it seems I can't seem to find a D&D group, I am looking for a backup entertainment distraction. So I was considering CoH and had a couple quick questions for those that have experience with it: 1) It seems to have enough content to keep me entertained for at least a few months -- does it *feel* too repetitive after a while? emphasis on the word feel - I realize there is only so much that can be done but is there enough variety in the way those things are done that it doesn't _feel_ like I am doing nothing but f1 hold, tab, f2 attack. repeat for next minion. ? 2) Is there stuff for me to do alone , or is everything friend/guild/group based? Because sometimes I just like to kill stuff alone and test out skills and combos... 3) Does the control interface simple? I'm not the most coordinated person, though I can get used to things with time. 4) Is the community online seem mature enough? Or is there a general chat that is spammed with fart jokes and name calling the whole time? 5) I would be playing this on above-minumum requiremed specs but just shy of recommended computer specs, by putting down graphic settings, etc, do you think I'll be alright? or will I just be plagued by lag? 6) I know the game has been out a while, so does the community seem dieing? As in, if I log in, will I have much trouble finding other people to group with, or is the server a ghost zone half the time? 7) Any other random thoughts, good or bad, about your experience that a newbi consider it should know? If I pick it up, I believe there is a free trial subscription so I'll obviously get to test the waters somewhat. Just trying to figure if it's even worth the time to get it, install, etc. :) I may think of other questions, but that is all I had at the moment. And, yes, I realize everyone's experiences and opinions will be different. So I'm not trying to say everyone's thoughts will be the same. Just trying to see if there are some common recurring thoughts/feelings on it. [/QUOTE]
