COH 3 day report

I just purchased this the other day.  I'm loving this game.  I had previously only played SWG and got really fed up with that game.

The first character I made was a Gravity Controller with Storm Summoning secondary.  Damn this is a hard class to solo, but I already knew that ahead of time.  It just took me a little while to figure out the stratagy for taking on multiple foes.

Next, I spent way too much time playing with the Character Creation.  I think I made and remade avatars for about 3 hours

Finally I created a blaster with both primary and secondary based on energy.  Hot Damn.  The ability to take down the enemy was astounding.  I'm not sure that I would play this character all the time though, as there appears to be not stratagy involved with this archtype very much (could be wrong at higher levels though)

    Well I am on my second day and to save a new topic I will post here. I have made a assault rifle/Device tech blaster [lvl 6 atm] and I also have a super strength/inv mutant tank [4 atm], all on freedom. I can see how the game can get repetitive but it is easy to work around it. The player interaction is pretty neat. A supergroup set up a HUGE hide and go seek in KR yesterday that went on for a few hours. That was cool, but someone found me :(. Having 3 knockback abilities on my assualt riflist makes soloing easy and watching a thug try to excape by jumping a fence, and then shooting him in mid air [cha chk BOOM], knocking him 6 more feet in the air, and then watching him fall 16 feet is histarical and will never get old. Nor knocking 7 mobs down at one time with a single M30 grenade LOL. God I love this game.

    Let's see if you're still saying this after two weeks. Then if you still have an account after two months, then I'll believe your review ::::02::

    Is that a fact? Ever seen the power Impale (Spines). It also roots enemies so if they are fleeing they get stuck on the stop.

    I don't disagree that Scrappers would get beat badly in PvP, but they do have a ranged attack.

    Yeah Scrappers were my main Bit8H in beta, since I found it insane how they and other meele chars could not run and swing at the same time ala Anarchy Online.  Funny thing is I made a Meele Blaster in beta to show them that a blaster can do what a scrapper is suppose to. I think the skill was "Energy Punch" (I forgot havent played this um game in a while).. Anways with that skill (which was meele) I could chase Mobs all over the screen as soon as I would get within range of the attack it would automaticlly launch.. So they have the ablity to have run and attack but they just dont allow it for the true meele chars, its just a Blaster thing.. Imagine that lol

    LOL thats Cryptic for ya, thats just amazing...Poor Poor Scra,  err any character but Blaster.

    Scappers should be the uber leet classes. I mean, they have fewer hit points than other classes. Why did they gimp them?

    Scrappers are not gimped, per se... they're just more specialized than other classes... nobody takes on a boss like scrappers, just as they were intended... Devs can't really do anything with blasters because, then, all the minmax kids, who are very vocal will be in a complete uproar... this includes if you buff all other classes, minmaxers see that as nerfing their class... it's a lose-lose situation... there is no correcting a mistake with the unforgiving MMORPG community...

    That said, in PvP, no only will villains have different classes, but a controller can mez a ranged character without thinking... a blaster, for all his greatness, will barely be able to dent a tank and any ranged character can be decimated thoroughly by a melee character with teleport foe.  This is to say nothing of melee characters who can just fly up to the blaster and hit with a move that disorients, even while taking hits...

    Blasters are great in PvE, don't get me wrong, if you're a minmaxer/powerleveller or have any love of being Uber ASAP, Blasters are the way to go... but to say they will own in PvP is short sighted and foolish... of course, if you choose to believe that, go ahead.

    And these are just one on one fights... in team battles, the cry will be 'get the blaster' if they really are this uber class that some of you believe them to be...

    Also: You can't disqualify someone's opinion just because of your experience.  If someone likes the game, then they like it, you can't say they don't like it now because you got bored of it before... how could you not "Believe" a review?
