I'm just going to give you the very basics, and you can have the joy of discovering other stuff as you go along. The Homecoming Wiki, ParagonWiki, the in-game /help channel, and the Homecoming Discord server are all good sources of help to go to when you need to know something I'm not covering. A lot of that stuff, you'll learn better by doing it for yourself. This advice isn't meant to be comprehensive, by the way I'm not going to cover all of the different tabs in the options menu, or tell you how to do everything. Also, I would recommend doing your first few missions solo, so you can move at your own pace and not have someone else dragging you along at their speed-although if a friend invited you to the game, it seems likely they might want to show you the ropes themselves, so you should certainly let them help you out. Learn to walk before you run, and other clichés like that.

This advice only covers starting out in the City of Heroes or City of Villains factions. Let's get you started adventuring, shall we?įirst, a couple of caveats. If you're following along, you should have just completed the tutorial, and have emerged anew into the city with all its wonders. Welcome, at last, to the City of Heroes (or Villains)! In previous guides, I've gone over basic facts about the game, how to create your character, and some of the terminology you'll encounter as you play.
