    Yea it is cool to do what I love and my passion is games lol and really I wasnt trashing COH i love the graphics and the chacter creation was the best I have seen in a game but I am not a story guy I like killing or building and the once and a while chance I may catch someone to own . It was good to get away from EQ though it made me realize how much I missed it and the friends and guild I had made in 5 yrs .

    7.) kill clumps of mobs....
    In ALL MMORPGS YOU KILL CLUMPS OF MOBS......you most really not play mmorpgs man.......all yo udo in them is kill...craft...quest...killing while doing the quest....killing while trying to get the materials to craft......and kill.....even at times unless in a safe area you kill during your down time.....



    I guess you've never played EVE-Online =) I have to admit this game does sound very monotonous.

    I agree, all there is to do is to kill clumps of mobs.  I think it will change once the expansion comes out.

    @Otlano-->;

    Anyone that thinks mining is the only thing you can do in EVE is either shallow in having tried it and not having understood, or they simply havn't tried it and were as smart as to base a judgement on something they havn't tried.

    I liked Eve also and only left because all my friends left. Mining was not my favorite thing to do though so I mostly did agent running. Didn't do a whole lot of pvp either since the biggest ship I got to before I left was a Bellicose.

    All i can say is let COH evolve. I like the game and been playing since beta. I like it much better then SWG and EQ (SWG is farming for minerials fun?). My only gripe is powers. You should be able to fine tune them more (not with just enhancements) and more of them.

    If all you like is D&D kinda games then COH is not for you. If you played marvel heroes or DC heroes when you were a kid. This game is for you.

    I am looking foward to COV to kill the people that annoy me and become a viillian (you have people the annoy you and all these kinda games)

    No mining wasnt fun but once you got deep crust extractors up it became fun than you just sat back and collected you 5k recsources daily. There wes much more to do than just mine. The game wasn't the worst I have played but it was far from the best but I like alot of the aspects the dancing , musical abilitys, and the different crafting. It was good for a change from the same old thing.

    Oh for the love of...STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT CITY OF HEROES! If any thing its refreshing to play a MMORPG where I don't have to spend hours upon hours trying to find a freakin' sword so I would die as soon as I leave the freakin' town! Oh, and not to mention...NO TOWNS! The whole game is just one large city, so you won't spend hours trying to get from Town A to Town B. Am I the only one who enjoyed this?! And the missions ARE quest! And with City of Villains coming out, well, that just gives you MORE of a reason to enjoy this game! Quit bitchin' and start enjoying it. Its not EverQuest...Its better! And did I mention how it dosn't look like TRASH, unlike some games...*glares at RYL, EverQuest, and The Sims Online*

    And Every other mmorpg is larger. With mob after mob, grind after grind and boring combat your point.

  • NurgleNurgle Member Posts: 7

    I got bored of this game roughly 6 hours into Beta., Character customization is the only thing this game has going for it, after that go read an actual comic book and fire up another MMO. My reccomendation is to stay away from this unless you are solely in it because of the Super Hero genre.

    The warrior's intention should be simply to grasp his sword and to die.

    You are judging a game based on 6 hours of play in BETA? My recomendation is to stop giving reviews of games that aren't even complete yet.

  • NurgleNurgle Member Posts: 7

    Yes I am judging this game based on 6 hours of gameplay. The game was complete in the final Beta stages and it was hella boring, I had a lot of friends try the game out after public release and the verdict was the same. I have Beta tested several MMO's and did not feel this game deserved any of my $'s . The 6 hours I played is a very good indication of whether or not you want to log back in or not and I for one did not. I have played other more non-linear MMO's where I could not wait to log back on, but the "more of the same" content over and over was and is a huge lag pit for this game in my opinion. So unless the game has changed from

    Scenario #1

    A) Talk to [insert name here of Policeman etc]
    B) Go beat up bad guys [insert name here of Policeman etc] told you to beat up and find useless item
    C) Find useless item
    D) Rinse and repeat

    Senario #2

    A) Run around beating up mobs of thugs.

    Then it is the same game as when it was in Beta.

    The warrior's intention should be simply to grasp his sword and to die.

    The story arcs aren't just for reading. They only record what you have done. This is why you don't think there is content. Your perception isn't going past the fact you are beating up bad guys which could be due to powerleveling. Pay attention to why you are beating up bad guys and you will see the content. Thats true roleplaying content. Taking on a role isn't just moving a character over here or over there but also taking on the persona of that character. You accused CoH of being a poor fps or something like that but you thought that only because you treated your characters like fps game avatars with skills.
    Don't get me wrong. I'm not slamming you for it because thats just your play style and that should matter only to you.
    Most have us who are defending CoH have said this game is more for the casual gamer though. We have only been jumping in arguments because the detractors have been saying this game sucks because its not fitting their gameplay style.
    I did find EQ's crafting to be a grind but I wouldn't know if its better than crafting in SWG since I never did crafting except for the scout stuff while resting at campsites. I played a scout/rifleman. I would have liked that game if I had more story content but I got tired of just doing the same plain missions over and over.



    As Otlano has stated above and  has hammered me on this for at least a week now this game has content you just have to read it and its a very big rp game you have to roleplay your chacter according to the story its a comic book and for us who are use to living the game by exploring , camping , hunting , and crafting  this is not for you. This is a game for casual players not power levelers you will get bord .

    Thank you goliath. He is obviously not reading the missions because that is not how they go. If you reduced all quests/missions/tasks in all the mmorgps like he is doing with CoH's missions, all you get is "go kill this stuff and get items then rinse and repeat." At least CoH has story content in these missions then the rest but its pointless if you don't read they missions. Yes the first few levels, your missions are going to be a little bland but they pick up around 5th level.

    There is alot to do in this game, whether you see it or not. In general, yes, this game is more for the casual gamer, but that does not mean a hardcore player cannot enjoy it as well. You need to make your own content, whether it be by provoking mobs and setting up a huge battle or playing hide and seek for influence with the lower levels or even setting up a race. There is alot of stuff you can do, these things may not be fun for everyone, but they are for me, and for the thousands of other people that dont waist there times on the boards becuase they are having too much fun enjoying the game. Even before the patch when I was 40 I STILL was able to enjoy the game for many hours a day, if you cant find something to do, thats a personal problem. You are no loss the the community, no one will miss you, theres no need for you to go bashing CoH based apon your personal opinion because most of the people that enjoy the game wont even read what you have to say you will just be feeding your crap to others who feel the same way as you do to begin with.

    CoH is lame, it is boooring. I betad for a few months, and for some unknown reason continued playing after release, giving those bastards some more of my hard earned $$. This was probably cuz a bunch o my friends were playin it. Then one day I was like wait just a minute here. What I am doing right now in this stupid game is the exact same thing I have been doing since I created my character. Character customization being the only thing this game has going for it. Sure, you can read all of the stupid missions, and call it content but it all boils down to this.
    I do not play any Fantasy MMos as they have grown old, though I do plan on checkin out WoW. Currently I play Eve, it is kickass, I love it, tons to do, very deep, involved game. It has plot, crafting, quests, PvP (lock n load style), in short, it pwns.
    ***********WARNING SPOILERS DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE GONNA PLAY THIS CRAPY GAME***********


    1- I think this gang A is up to no good
    2- Whoa they ARE up to no good
    3- Find their HQ for me
    4- Whoa holy crap! they're just bitchass pawn of gang B
    5- Gang B is up to no good
    6- They stold some crappy artifact, we NEED it
    7- Find their HQ
    8- Whoa holy crap! they're just bitchass pawn of gang C
    rinse and repeat
