Since the NDA has been lifted, I am here to tell you , It is a sweet game. Where to begin, hmmmm
ok here we go. Look here for more info: http://www.cityofheroes.com/
1. charater creation: This is the start of making what your toon a hero, You get a chance to show off your ability to create great costumes. I mean millions of differant designs and colors. (no capes thou ).
2. Starting out: Like all heroes you start out with basic powers A primary set and secondary you get one power per set at lvl one. the power depend on what type of hero(archtypes) you want to be. and then the higher levels you go the more power you get. now you think. Everyone will be the same. who wants to play that. Ahh Your hero can have the same powers as another but his power strenghts and weakeness can be differant. How is that novawop? tell us tell us!! Ok OK.
Powers also have one standard power slot or enhancement slot. each power can acquire a total of 6 slots. now in these slots you can increase the way the power acts.(ie: accuracy, range, damage, duration, etc,etc) These enhancements drop off bad guys and you can buy them from the stores.
3. Enchancements: also have three different Lvls 1: Trainers everyone can use these. 2. dual origins two classes (example: Magic-Mutant)can use these and have a better adjustment then Trainer Ench. 3. single origins these are set for one class (just mutant). these are the best.
4. Now Bad guys. there are differant types of bad guys. the common thug, the Leitanant(sp?) and the Boss.
5. Now I dont want to rune any more. BUt I will say this. If your heroes dies you do not lose any equipment or powers, after lvl 5 if you die you get debted to your experience and have to rebuild this.
you do not have to craft anything. you do not have to group constantly, and you can just have fun.
I hope you all enjoy what information I revealed I am enjoying the game alot more then Everquest.
If you want to find me I am on the primary server just give me a yell and Ill side kick you a few lvls.
