City of Heroes

One thing I don't like much with the later content the progression through the game is far more fragmented now and easy to miss some of the better content as you level up plus levelling up so rapidly now though somewhat offset by the improved team level adjusting stuff. Wish they'd made some changes to Perez once they introduced The Hollows as well as it gets sidelined mostly now but I miss some of the gameplay in that zone.

You can always disable earning XP in the options if you want to do story stuff

I've moved to Excelsior as my old SG are reforming on there by the looks of it.

Nah I still want to earn XP I just preferred the pace of the game before they added certain content.

What hasn't helped on the new servers is that they have boosted XP for a while so out-levelling content is just going to happen anyway.

I've settled on Torchbearer and Excelsior for now.

So get some debt? Slows down your levelling. I remember I had a Rad/Kin controller, Qinetiq who, it felt anyway, was in a permanent XP debt state from about level 30 right through to mid 40’s at least. Because of her powers she had to get into a mob to debuff them and buff the scrappers and tanks. This usually meant getting hit with AoE and any bad guys that weren’t target locked onto a tank. I died. A lot.

Talking about dying, Super Reflexes seems a lot better than what I remember. I'm not getting hit a lot at all - they must have buffed it because I'm sure I was one-shotted a lot by bosses back in the day and cursed not taking Regen.

I'm absolutely loving this still - it's aged very well and I've had some absolutely insane runs with some very unusual team combos!

Level 28 at the moment.

I’m still enjoying this (Homecoming) on a casual basis, dipping in and out now and then (usually Rikti raids etc). It’s like a comfort blanket from the past.
