City of Heroes

Any suggestions? The content is so repetitive but I love everything else about it I just dont know what to do.

Get friends and join groups that do a lot of unofficial stuff. The official content is quite boring, after all.

The Babes of War on Freedom usually do a lot of unofficial events and are very good at it, in my opinion. They would be a good choice for you if you really want to come back.

However, CoH is an aging game and will possibly be replaced by Champions anyways, so play this or the waiting game. Your choice...

Unless you want to try out EVE Online; which is the only MMOG I think is worth a monthly fee at the moment.

I suggest recruiting teams where 1 or 2 members are +3 or 4 your lvl and do their missions on invince. Lotta fun, just recruit right.

Get yourself into a Super Group or Villain Group m8, most have Group events happening each week, i also know of a Costume contest that happens at least 2x a week on the Defiant server under statue of Atlas

Well I play on virtue right now hek im still trying to find the right at for me I have such a complex personality, I think the ats on villians side are better but cant get into playing redside.

My real life friends arent into these kinds of games sadly, so I guess all I can do is find a good super group well thanks everyone, eve I may try.

Only cure for the generic content problem that I know of is to group a lot.

Join Repeat Offenders or something.  Also don't run so many paper/radio missions see if you can get some people you know who like story arcs or task forces.

Heh I think this is the first time I have ever quoted myself.

In case you do not know this.  Repeat Offenders a specific sort of "theme" group that often happens in CoH often on random servers.  Usually organized via the CoX forums.  Repeat Offenders specifically takes all Defender teams and uses them offensively.

Alot of times what these people do is someone comes up with some kind of "super team" concept that they like, for example of all ice controllers or whatever, and then they post the idea on the forum get a list of people who would be interested and then agree upon a server make a supergroup expressly for this super team concept and then the entire super group sort of levels together.

Some of these are sort of on the fly just for fun sort of thing.  Others like Repeat Offenders is sort of their main thing and less of structured or specific idea behind.

I would suggest getting involved in something like that.

gestalt11 has a good explanation of what I would say more generally. I think one way to keep it interesting is to find non-traditional ways of doing things. Lots of different groups like running TFs with just defenders, as he as mentioned.

But many far more random groups like to do similar challenges - I know all-Stalker LRSF teams have run on serveral servers well before the recent buff. And they did that specifically in reaction to all the people doing it the "obvious" way and not wanting Stalkers.

I do pickup groups all the time, and like to see how I can vary depending on what the strengths and weaknesses of the group are. But my personal preference is seeing how *fast* I can do things, because that always adds a challenge. Not even specifically leveling up in hours or anything that broad. But I have a record of 18:22 on the KHTF, 15:30 on the Eden Trial (back when it was bugged so you could cheat past the mold wall), 32:40 on Cap SF (should be able to do that much better). And in line with my first comment, I never insist on a particular make up to do it.

And even when I'm not timing myself, I pride my leadership on being fast so the team is always busy. No pause between groups, minimal time between missions. And chatting between throwing punches, if you type fast. :) I try to make it a very active experience so you can't get bored with it. I think that fits the style of CoH better than a lot of games too. It's a fast-paced MMO with lots of enemies, fast missions, and speedy travel.

And yet, I too take time off now and again. Just this week in fact I felt like it was time for a little break from the game. But I'll be back in it soon enough as always happens.

Doing TF's/SF's in a speedy manner is really fun although I do enjoy running them regular. A group of friends and I do a bunch of different ones each week like, such as LGTF and Ice Mistral
