City of Heroes: Homecoming Brings Back Players Choice Awards

Ever feel like Architect Entertainment is just a grind fest for farming and leveling? You're not wrong—those arcs are everywhere. But City of Heroes: Homecoming is reminding everyone that AE is also home to some seriously good storytelling. The Players Choice Awards are back, and they're all about honoring the arcs that actually make you stop and read.

If you're a dedicated Homecoming player, you already know the deal: AE is packed with missions designed to power-level your characters fast. That's just how it is. But buried under all those farm maps are player-made arcs with real narrative chops—the kind that make you forget you're playing a 20-year-old MMO.

The Players Choice Awards originally ran back when the game was still officially live. Now, Homecoming is bringing the tradition back to the server. It's a chance for the community to spotlight the arcs that deserve recognition for their stories, not just their XP per minute.

So what does this mean for you? If you've ever poured hours into building an AE arc, this is your moment. If you're just someone who loves a good plot twist in your missions, you'll want to keep an eye on which arcs get nominated. Either way, it's a win for the creative side of the community.

We don't have all the details yet on how voting will work or when the awards will be handed out, but the return of the Players Choice Awards is a clear signal: Homecoming values the storytellers as much as the farmers. And honestly, that's something worth celebrating.

Will you be nominating your favorite AE arc? Or are you just here for the double XP? Let us know in the comments!
