City of Heroes ThunderspyGinyu Force EditionLinks:https://thunderspy.net>What is City of HeroesCity of Heroes is a now defunct MMO centered around Superheroes. It was published in 2004 by NCSoft but was shut down because it didn't do well in Korea, even though it did fine in the west. In the late 2010s, a secret server of it was operated, which eventually led to several private servers of it popping up. >What is ThunderspyThunderspy is a private server of City of Heroes, with several unique features, developers that STILL develop and work on the game today and a lax attitude to player conduct.>How can I play it1. Go to https://thunderspy.net/guides2. Download Sunrise Launcher3. Create CoH folder on a partition, preferably on an SSD4. Create a Sunrise Launcher Folder inside the CoH folder5. extract contents of Sunrise Launcher Zip into the Sunrise Launcher Folder>What special features does Thunderspy have that sets it apart from the othersJust to name a few: Full Pet Customization, Unique Power Sets, Streamlined crafting, Improved Character creator, complete reworks for some power sets, streamlined housing, uncapped mission scaling
Kinda full (but not exhaustive) list of server-specific features.1. New costume parts, fully modeled 6 years after the game leaked.2. Normally, the moment you outlevel a contact (questgiver), any missions attached to them vanish and you can't continue their storylines. Now, missions scale up to your level, no matter what your level is. 3. Several improvements to character creator. Full color picker instead of a pallette, unique power animations, improved sliders for more model customization4. Enhancements are tiered into 5-level thresholds and enhancement decay is completely removed. Typically enhancements would rapidly lose their effect as you level up even once beyond their required level. 5. Important currencies were summarized into 'Merits', which can be earned from both group content and solo by completing story arcs. Most crucial items can be bought from Merit Vendors for Merits or Influence (basic currency) and the prices were drastically reduced to make character progression more streamlined and less grindy. 6. Crafting was massively simplified. Typically, there were over 100 different types of salvage (crafting materials). This has been reduced to 6 types and different rarities within said types. And any needed materials can be bought from vendors for influence. Big focus on streamlining character progression without trivializing it7. Very lax moderation8. Various new power sets and archetypes were added and some including Defender and Mastermind have gone through massive reworks9. There's a single player version of bases called 'apartments'.10. The logout time it takes to gain the badge tied to one day job (Rest mechanic), was originally a full month. This has been reduced to 6 hours11. Recently, new emotes were added. https://youtu.be/v5C-W8s4fMI12. Smaller bugfixes.
Gameplay fingerpointersPowers = abilitiesThere is no conventional 'gear', in the armor and weapons sense. There's only 'enhancements' that can be slotted into powers to make them stronger in some way. Enhancements can also be part of a set with additional effects. You can also later acquire or craft guns and baseball bats in the form of temporary powers.
It feels weird going back to paper missions after doing those trials.
>>2267879Yo put this on gamedate to see if we can get more players
>>2268148The fuck is gamedate? Some kind of dating patform?
Slowly making progress getting contacts in Nerva
Dead server, features arent that great, your client looks like hot garbage.Play Homecoming server where they improved on everything have way more features and theres actually people to play with.
>>2271155The only 'features' homecoming has is the arbitrary tedium of the original game. >enhancements lose their effects 2 levels in>missions vanish from your log when you level up>salvage is so convoluted that no-one bothers with keeping materials>general grind is such a pain that everyone just afk farms in AE missions
I feel like CoH is finally ageing especially in terms of its costume creator as more complex character creators are released.
>>2271155Damn took only 8 posts this time for the console wars to start
>>2272232None of this is true.You clearly haven't played on Homecoming.
>>2273250>>2272232Holy shit nobody fucking cares at this point can we just talk about City of Heroes at this point and not console war for the thousandth time we're like 7 years into private server shit it's pretty clear who's gonna stick with where and nobody's ever gonna change peoples minds. Everyone knows what each servers like by now, and made their choice years ago.I just want a CoH thread for once, its been years just once.
>>2273940Make one that isnt specifically about a private server and there won't be any "console war" make one where if you want be fair and just give out the options but be honest that homecoming is officially given the ok from NCsoft and has active development and has added a lot to the game plus has a modern client with modern graphic settings. The screenshots above look straight from 2005 when CoH came out. Homecoming has any resolution, field of view settings, advanced lighting, ambient occlusion and more...plus thousands of players...I hate that you call it a console war cuz this isnt the same thing as that. If you wanna use that stupid comparison though its like trying to shove the original gameboy into someones lap when they have the gameboy advance. Not xbox vs playstation type shit. Literally old vs new(and still being updated)
motherfucker I'm about to dissect every post you've made.>>2271155>improved on everything and have way more featuresPatently false on Homecoming, but true on Thunderspy.>>2273250>none of this is trueLiterally all of it is true, as it was true in the original live game, and only Thunderspy changed it.>haven't played HomecomingAlso false, and even if it were true, Thunderspy gets plenty of HC refugees who tell us how shit your fucking server it.>>2274373>Advanced Lighting and Ambient OcclusionMisleading, these were in the live game on shutdown, and are in every server.>Thousands of playersConcurrently? That's a lie. Maybe in terms of total accounts, but if that's the metric Thunderspy also has that.>Still being updatedFalse on Homecoming, true on Thunderspy.
