Hopping around just seems to be what I do. I figure I cycle MMORPGs once every three months or so; sometimes longer, depending.

That said, I'm still having a blast in CoH. I'm in a superhero mood, I guess.

I checked out the test server briefly, but I didn't have a character high enough level to visit Croatia. So, I tooled around with Archery and Sonics, and they were pretty neat. Nothing world-shattering, they're just powersets after all, but cool nontheless. CoV is what I think will reinvent the game.

So what does Archery fall under? Blaster? I've been curious about that.

It varies: there's Archery (attacks) and Trick Arrow (effects like hold), and a Sonic Blast (attacks) and Sonic Debuff (debuffs). Class-wise it breaks down like this:

* Sonic Blast (Blaster Primary and Defender Secondary)
* Sonic Debuff (Defender Primary and Controller Secondary)
* Archery (Blaster Primary and Defender Secondary)
* Trick Arrow (Defender Primary and Controller Secondary)

Interesting... so a pure archer is a Defender? Hmmm...

When Archery goes live, I'll probably remake Kestrel into an archer as that was what I originally intended him to be. I guess the question now is do I go Blaster with Archery and Grenades or Defender and pure archer?

I need to log on the test server and scope it out, but I totally forgot how to do that.
