Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game It turns out I'm @Redshot21. I wonder if I need a better handle, but I only get one chance to set one -- I don't know whether that's 'ever" or because I'm on a Demo account. On Protector, my Level 4 Mutant Scrapper (Lord Kronstien) was left standing directly in front of the medical center in Skyway. As mentioned before, I need to get OUT of Skyway and back to Atlas Park. I have an ongoing mission in Atlas park at a warehouse on the southwest corner of the zone map -- the problem, as I mentioned, has been getting there. I don't have any movement powers to make running the gauntlet any easier. If someone can get me back there and back on track for the mission I'd appreciate it. It would also help to get another couple of levels -- or eventually to get enough levels that wrong turns aren't universally fatal. On Champion, I have a Level 2 Magic Scrapper (Kaishaku). He was left standing near Ms. Liberty after getting killed once and taking out a few random thugs including some Level 4s. I don't have any missions for him and haven't even been to City Hall to pick one up, and have no contacts outside the Tutorial adventure. I have a couple of variations on Redshot (a science blaster with a machine gun) on a couple of other servers. I don't think I'm going to be using them anymore. He just isn;t very efficient and I can't prevent thugs from closing distance in a hurry after I start shooting at them. I'm wondering when my heroes get to be super. So far the thugs are close to forcing my hand as far as what I do. I'd like to have a car to get to mission sites, but the only cars in the game appear to be random distractions.

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game I think I'm currently on Protector, but I'm not sure. I'm trying to get to mission in an abandoned warehouse against a gang called the Skulls, if that means anything. EDIT: Yep, Protector with my current character -- Lord Kronstien, Level 4 mutant swordsman (Scrapper). The warehouse is so distant that I've never even gotten close to it. If I could team up with somebody, that would probably help, but who'd take on a noob?

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game One problem I'm having on one of my servers (the one I've played on most) during the demo) is that the mission site for my current arc is VERY far away from City Hall and the Medical Center. I have yet to even get close to it. Right now I have to turn around and go back to Atlas park to get trained up to Level 4, then go right back out and try to get to the mission site. I don't even know what it looks like. I sure wish I had a movement power to make things easier, but I have no idea how movement powers work.
