Champions Online Open Beta - Grab Your Keys FAST

Ok, I finally beat the starting area and man, honestly, this shit isn't fun. At all. I had more fun backflipping around the training area than I did fighting mobs that can kill me in 2 super power hits.

In City of Heroes/Villains, you can get a temp flight power at 5 and 10 by doing 3 Radio/Paper missions and then doing a Safeguard/Mayhem Mission. You can also buy temp flight packs or get them from certain story arcs.

At launch, needing a way to get around was a problem. It is not anymore and hasn't been for at least 3-4 years.

Back when I played City of Heroes, you didn't get flying until you were like level 10 or 20. but that was during like chapter 3 or something.

And then it was slow ass flying...15 minutes to fly one end of the zone to the other.

Your travel power wasn't really useful until you'd leveled up a lot.

That's because you were using Hover, which wasn't a "travel" power, but rather a power that gave you defense and allowed you to keep your position in the air without suffering the usual accuracy penalty. It was never meant to be used to travel and is generally not taken unless you already have an Anti-Air power, as Air Superiority is much more useful. However, you NEED to take one of these two powers to take Flight at lvl 14 or later.

Seriously, the game is much better than it used to be. However, Champions DOES handle travel powers better than CoX.
