meh...there's still only like 50-200 people on a server...very hard to find a group.
Welcome to Issue 16: Power Spectrum
You wanted more control over what your characters’ powers look like, and you are getting it! Issue 16: Power Spectrum takes City of Heroes’ unparalleled character creator to the next level by unveiling a kaleidoscope of colors for your characters’ powers. Become your own pyrotechnician as you select themes for your characters’ powers and color coordinate the hues of the power effects.
Archetypes have a few more power sets. Auto "sidekicking" and auto leveling for mishs. New Option List of what mobs you want in your mishs. 1 new Epic Power.
But seriously, unless they consolidate servers or get a mass influx of new or returning members for the new expansion "Going Rogue" (which is still TBA), its sucks with nobody there...
I think there's still a lot of CoH players in CoH, mainly because chimps seems to not do a lot of the stuff that made CoH good, though I think CoH has lost players due to its own issues and the fact its basically become a farmfest (more than it used to be)
somehow, it's quite a different game, but I couldn't tell you why.
