Whirly: good to go

My career of evil has begun. Maybe not evil – misunderstood perhaps. Or, just unaware that my actions negatively affect others. I like that. My new City of Villains (CoV) toon is just dumb.

First thing after installation is to patch. 85 megs isn’t that large. I didn’t expect it to take almost 24 hours. I opened ports, tried finding alternative methods, everything, anything. 24 hours later I entered the game and created my new toon. I played through the tutorial before realizing it was exactly like City of Heroes. It was City of Heroes. While I had reopened my account, I hadn’t added CoV.

I created my new-new villain, he’s just dumb, and stumbled through a completely different tutorial. I’ve built an Ice/Ice Dominator. My dominate button took a long time to charge and I haven’t used it yet. I have only a vague idea what it does. Dominate I guess.

I’ve only reached level 3. To avoid mistakes I’ve been doing research before adding anything. I don’t want to make a major mistake with this build.

CoV uses the same engine as CoH, so the look, feel and controls are the same. The controls are a bit wrong. Mouse look is backwards, WAD controls are missconfigured from game standards, easily corrected with control options.

I would have stayed up too-late playing more, but I couldn’t log in. Maintenance, patch? Not being able to play is a deal breaker. The excitement is electric /shrug.
