Red Tomax's Guide to City of Heroes

I started playing City of Heroes back in August 2004. At that time the game had not been released the the EU so I, like many other European gamers, downloaded the US version of the game and played on the US servers.

Nearly a year later City of Heroes finally recieved a European release, I didn't join the EU servers straight away because of the friends I had made in-game and at the time doing so would mean starting over completely from scratch, abandoning the characters I'd spent the best part of a year building.

Back when I started playing the best source of information for City of Heroes was a great little site by a community member known as Artphobia, unfortunately once he left the game and passed on the website to new owners the updates slowed until eventually they stopped completely. The guide was last seen at "City of Heroes Online" and, content wise, is pretty much as Artphobia left it as far as I can tell.

State of Titan Address - CIT and CGT

20 days ago

As many of you know, you can not currently access the City Information Terminal or City Game Tracker websites. We've been battling some serious hosting issues for the past few weeks and have decided it's time to take more drastic measures.

While we're sure many of you are waiting for the return of these sites, we decided to take advantage of this situation and implement some rather ambitious plans regarding the future direction of both CIT and CGT. We'll be sure to release more details as soon as we have some to share. =]

Lastly, we'd like to extend a huge thanks to everyone for your support and understanding as we overhaul these sites to be even more useful for the community.

Mids Joins the Titan Network! Issue 12 Version Coming Soon!

22nd May 2008

We at the Titan Network are incredibly excited to announce that Mid's Hero Designer is now a part of the Titan Network!

Soon, you'll be able to download Mid's Hero Designer software (and any subsequent updates) straight from www.cohplanner.com!

It's always been a challenge for the US players to directly contact or interact with Mids, considering he is a European player. Now that he's part of the Titan Network, players from both sides of the ocean can feel free to chat with him directly on the Titan Forums!

We'll make a new post as soon as Mids is ready to release the Issue 12 capable version, but check back on www.cohplanner.com to receive any updates, or visit Mids over on the Titan Forums!

City of Data - Now updated for Issue 12

01st May 2008

After a couple of months working through my backlog of missions to put into the database I'm finally up to date on that front, which means it's time for an update to the City of Data project at last.

So if you've ever fancied being a Night Widow but don't have time to spend on the Test server you can get a glimpse of what's in store for you when i12 goes live over at City of Data.

You'll also notice I've put a lot of work into tidying up the display of powers to hopefully make it a lot easier on the eye. The most obvious example is when looking at a power which grants an enhancement to a set of damage types/defense types. Now, instead of listing the an effect for each damage type, the effects are grouped into one item.

Hopefully I'll be able to keep the site up to date with the changes asIssue 12 evolves on Test server.

Discuss this over in the forum or visit my thread on the official City of Heroes forum.
