I play City of Heroes now and again. Any Merlynites out there also play?

I own both CoV & CoH but haven't played in a long while...

How are you enjoying the game?

I'm still digging the game. The last few free expansions have been pretty fun.

The last issue introduced the Mission Architect, which lets players design their own missions. I understand a lot of min-maxers are using that to set up farming missions for XP and badges. That's kind of lame, by my reckoning, but a lot of others are writing missions for fun. You can even design your own villains for the missions.

The issue before that one introduced a few new power sets, one of which was Shields. There's a big variety of shield appearances available, from simple round ones with customizable logos to energy shields, to other medieval shields, to African tribal shields, to oddballs like a manhole cover. Weapon customization is fun stuff.

My newest character (I have about 90 on my account) is Doc Chevalier, a hero on the Virtue server. He is a dual-blades swashbuckler hero. His appearance is pretty ridiculous, featuring the new Baron outfit from the magic pack, garishly colored in white and pink, and the long-nosed jester mask.

So yeah. I'm still digging that game.
