     Are there vests? Just wonderin'

     Oh yeah, about how far can the super jump power thing make you jump? Like, going by how tall your character is.

  • RJCoxRJCox Member Posts: 2,686

    Yay!

    Ask those questions you've always wanted answers to!

    1) There are several costume options where you look like you're wearing a vest, like the Flak armor and such.

    2) Super Jump is huge, definitely not just a minor boost, you get some major distance/height.

     One thing this game lacks though is Superhero HeadQuarters.... What would the X-Men be without theirs? Or the Fantastic 4?

     Later on after release hopefully they will add in new things to the game. If they do, you can count on this game to be one of the best on the market yet. image

    It's in the plans, one of the top priorities after release by all reports.

    So are the Headquarters going to be Guild Halls? That is pretty cool. And my question: how is the game at higher levels? (if there wasn't a real low cap in the beta) I was just wondering because in alot of MMORPGs you run out of stuff to do.

    Yeah, the Headquarters will be kinda like Guild Halls (or SuperGroups as they're called in CoH), no real details yet on what they'll do if anything other than just be a meeting place, etc. With no loot/inventory really there is no real need for a Guild Vault or Guild Storage or such, so who knows. Any game is going to get repetitive when you play it asmuch as the typical person plays a mmorpg. I'd have to say CoH's biggest fault in my opinion is lack of content, don't get me wrong, there's a lot there, but I see it getting repetitive fast. But I'd rather a game be released with a lack of content than poor gameplay and bugs. Content can easily be added, bugs seem harder to work out. And CoH definitely has the bugs/gameplay down.

    How is the lag/network conditions. I heard that its very low.....and also how is the community/like players and such......and is the city very big or can u cover it quickly......and can you have a friends list or join a "group" and stay in it while ur off line?

    Lag is great, easily the least amount of lag I've ever experienced in a beta so far. Even during the stress tests when they had everyone go to the same zone I experienced VERY little lag. As for the community I've never had a real problem finding a group. The City is pretty big, seperated into seperate zones, quite a few of them. There is a friends list and grouping, and if I understand what you mean about staying in a group even offline, I'm assuming you mean Guilds, yeah, they have em, called Supergroups (Picture the Avengers, Justice League, X-Men, etc).

    With the NDA off, I can post the only complaint I have against this game: Rampant KSing.  Any player can attack a mob which another is already engaged in and receive a portion of the exp.  This means that potentially a newbie can trail higher level people and receive a portion of the exp.  This also means that legitimate honorable players have their exp cut by dishonest children.  The popular rebuttal that there's enough villains to go around is entirely untrue, especially when you have to kill 10 of X mob.. which spawn locations are limited and mobs of said type can be hard to find.  Who needs villains when the "heroes" can screw each other over?

    Actually since they increased the spawn of the mons needed for such quests and added the new servers I have had NO problem finding the mobs I need for my "kill 10 X" quests, me an a group were doing those exclusively yesterday for hours on end with never a problem finding what we needed. Yes, KSing is a problem, but I don't think it's all that huge of an issue, easy to get around, go get indoor missions, then the mobs are all yours.

    lag is no problem. even framerates are awesome. one day they had several hundered mobs spawning inthe same spot and we were AOEing them like mad with not a hitch to framerate

  • bountydogbountydog Member Posts: 27
    i don't think there is enough to do in this one to justify me buying it. there is nothing to do in this game except "arrest" crooks and i do mean nothing. after how many push backs this game had i was expecting a lot more too it. its a very very shallow game. you will probably be happy with it for about a month maybe 2 then most people will be asking where the rest of the game is. ah well guess i am waiting for WOW. good looks and a stable game can only go so far i need a little more meat to my games. maybe in 6 months to a year they might have enough in there to be worth a purchase. image

  • KuzzleKuzzle Member Posts: 1,058

     Haam, refering to them as children is agism. Don't be a communist.

     bountydog, If you think the game will be dumb don't post in it's area. It's that simple.

  • bukshotbukshot Member Posts: 277
    Thanks for the info guys!, Cant wait till open betaimage

     Anyone got any cool screen shots? Maybe you could put a link or something.

  • bountydogbountydog Member Posts: 27
    why wouldnt i post in its area i was giving my opinion on the game if you dont like my opinion tough

  • KuzzleKuzzle Member Posts: 1,058
     Whatever, dude. I really don't care about your opinion. No offence meant, just stating that people who's opinions differ from mine's opinions don't matter to me. Just wondering why you'd go to forums about a game you think looks dumb, that's all.

  • bountydogbountydog Member Posts: 27

    one i dont give a flying fart what you think or dont think image2 i never said it looks dumb what the hell did you readimage the game looks great and is very stableimage what i said is is that the gamplay is shallow and it doesnt have much content image i also said 6month to a year it might be worth buying image i posted this so people that arnt drolling fanbois know what a person that isnt and never will be a drolling fanboi thought of this game so far. image now normaly i wouldnt even post something like this off just a beta but they have said they are not going to add any thing more to the game till a month or more after release so whats here now is what is going to be there for release and i wile after.

    now if im not mistaken this is the city of heroes general disscussion board  i belive i was talking about city of heroes most people would assume that if you want to make a post about a game you GO TO THE FRIKIN BOARD FOR THAT GAME image

    Flame off gentlemen. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, even if they differ from yours, as long as you don't openly smash others for no reason.

    I like the game very much and i like the charactercreation because you can do so much but i won't be going to buy it because i like crafting building and that is not in the game so that is the only reason why i don't buy it because i can only have one game subscription so i look for a game where there are some crafting options

    any idea when the open beta is lad's and ladies?

  • bountydogbountydog Member Posts: 27
    they are not going to have one they are having an limited public beta

  • ramadinramadin Member Posts: 1,304

    Yeah, no open beta.  The game is really great, its so cool you can fly and char creation is the best ever.  No crafting and no loot kinda bums me out though.

    whaaaaaa i've applied for all the beat's still nothing .....i HATE being in the UK :*(

  • HaamHaam Member Posts: 6

    If I'm not mistaken, if you got the pre-order and registered before the 7th, you were guaranteed beta entry.  After that they'll only select a few more for beta.  Around the 21st or so, they close beta.  Then about the 25th they open it for the pre-orders to get a head start and go live around the 29th.
