Booted From Mapserver

I just bought the game today and I have spent two hours trying to play it only to be booted from the mapserver countless times. I've been able to get in about 3-5 minutes of uniterrupted play time and then it freezes and disconnects me. I am praying that they figure out how to fix this issue because the game could be a potentially awesome one . . . goes to show ya, TEST IT BEFORE YOU SELL IT!!!!

Tedious so fast that it cannot justify the monthly fee.

This is the very first MMORPG I have tried. After playing it for a month, I am definitely not impressed. I knew about the monthly fee and read many differing reviews so I decided to give this game a go. The character customization is the only thing I really enjoyed. Afterwards, the sheer amount of just running around and clicking the same buttons over and over again just to attack, attack, attack. What this game seriously needs is something besides talking to an npc or attacking. The incredible amount of time it takes to level up and complete later missions of just fighting, fighting, fighting made me truly ask myself: why is this worth $15.00 a month? I could get more fun out of the original Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy. I would only recommend this to a person who is both a true comic book and MMORPG fan.

It seemed like it would be fun...

...so, I bought this game yesterday. I was pretty souped for it, as a friend of mine had purchased it and he seemed excited about it. Installation and registration went smoothly. I entered the character creation screen, and I noticed a problem. The character model looked very, very strange. I figured it might be a RAM problem, so I took the hard drive out of my laptop, and moved it into another with more RAM. Still, same problem. So, I spent four hours straight attempting to fix this problem, including updating my graphics drivers. Same problem. Turns out Cryptic Studios neglected to provide rudimentary support for laptops using Radeon Integrated Graphics chipsets for this game. The textures on the character models and in the world are either not visible, or translucent/ghostly. Go to the Technical Support board at cityofheroes.com, and find the topic labeled ATI Radeon 7500 check-in, and you'll see a lot more people suffering from the same problem I just recounted. Even worse, NCSoft/Cryptic has no viable method of customer support for this problem. Further, they don't plan on providing one in the near future.

So, in short, make doubly/triply/quadruply (izzat a word?) that your computer can run this game like butter before you even consider buying it.

Wait. Even better. Don't buy it unless you have a GeForce card.

Dont buy this game

NCsoft is a rip off there tech support is a joke if you have problems the chances are slim to none of getting it fixed.
after three weeks of e-mails and answering stupid questions like are my cap locks off? I never did get my problem fixed.

A heck of a lot of fun - very addictive

This is my first MMORPG, and I'm hooked. I love the character creation that virtually guarantees no two characters will look or be alike. My character's name is "The Blue Buttdart" ha!

The combat system is well done, but what really shines about this game is the UI. The heads up interface takes only a very little time to get used to, and really simplifies a ton of choices. The key pieces of information you need are always on hand.

There are tons of thugs roaming about the streets, so when running about during a mission there's lots of opportuniuty to get some more experience. The selection of superpowers is truly huge - also insuring no two characters will come out alike.

I am looking forward to the update that will allow people to play villains and do PvP combat.

Probably great

I'm sure this game is fantastic...that is if you can actually play. I've had it for 2 weeks and have not been able to play once due to various reasons that have not been determined by tech support yet. My suggestion is to visit the site and read the boards before you buy. Hopefully, you'll be able to determine if you will be one of the lucky few that can play the game with little or no issues. I will continue to try until my free month is up and then I'll move on or return to other games I play. Good luck if you choose to buy.

stuipidest game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw the reviews here and was so excited to get the game. I read the instruction book a kazillion times and watched every trailer on the coh website. Well, I happen to live in a town where the only internet available is dialup. However, i was able to play halo pc despite this problem so i didn't think this would matter. Here it comes. I went to execute the game and it wouldn't let me because "you have to run the updater first" okay clickity clich-gasp! 1375 hours was the approximated download time and it never dropped and if i disconnected it started over. Screw that! I sold the game and bought a psp.
