City of Heroes on the other hand… if you’re in a reasonably-sized Supergroup, your secret base can be a really handy way of getting around, since it can be kitted out with teleporters to every zone. Add to that the base teleportation veteran power (if you’ve been playing long enough to get it anyway) and you can go to any city or hazard or PvP zone with two zone transitions and a short walk in between (but then you have to wait ages for the base teleport power to recharge). Rather handy, as is resurrecting in your base’s medical centre instead of the hospital if the hospital’s in a less convenient place, having access in the base to your personal vault for invention salvage (and an invention workbench – just needs some sort of black market/consignment house terminal for bases now and you could do all your invention needs without moving), inspiration collectors and dispensers… a shame that the whole base raiding and items of power thing STILL isn’t working properly though. Every time they try and bring the Cathedral of Pain back online it all falls apart and they have to take it away again.

Pretty tempted to reinstall Oblivion and have another go at it.
