CoH...Best MMORPG I have ever played.

First off. I am totally tired of all the bashing I am seeing on these boards. Yes, there is not nearly as much depth as the fantasy MMOs, but you cant expect that as, first off this is the first incarnation of a Super Hero MMORPG, and they are still working at it, and secondly, its a totally different genre, where its not as easy to create that depth. If you go in to this game expecting to be immersed in giant storylines, and effecting the world, dont play it. Not yet, I am sure that will come down the road.
I have played UO, EQ, AC, and Horizons, and this game is more fun and more action packed than all of them IMHO. You are a hero, your job is to kill mobs, or take out the evil mastermind, and you have to be ready to to this time and time again. Those of you who continue to complain that there are only kill XX missions, or take out this boss missions, should just leave the game, because that is your job as a hero. Thats what its all about. Personally, I love it.
What makes it the best MMO i have played is the combat. FULL OF ACTION. I love the fact that you are fighting for long periods of time, and busting lots of mobs at a time.
This is totally different from the Fantasy Genre, and I still am waiting to fill that void. Dont think that this game will do that for you. It will not. Its different.

Oh god, if only this thread would stop the bashing posts. I don't have any idea why people who bash feel such a strong desire to do so. It's like they feel they must be ignored by people who like this game, who consequently don't care if they got bored after 2 weeks.
I just hope this thread isn't going to turn into one of those topics too. Hehe, Thanks for trying though.
This is CreativeName's fancy schmancy sig. Let the 'ooh'ing and 'ahh'ing commence... Now.

Great post, guess all the naysayers have no wity retorts or semi logical comebacks. Your spot on when you describe this mmo as opposed to all others. This is a game based in a super heroe universe, nothing like this have been attempted previously. Obviously there will always be individuals who complain and want to shoehorn "content" in just because it's prevalent in other mmo's. Oh, I'm sure they'll agrue that on page 11 of issue 157, of the X-men, Forge creates a device for Bishop to use, or something. bla bla bla. This game is a different animal. Your a hero, you fight evil in all it's froms, that's what heroes do, patrols, missions... Or maybe Spiderman 2 (the movie) this summer will show Peter Parker "craft" new webshooter's out of a tin can and some banana peels for 2 hours... sweet.
I'm sure everybody would love to have a game that has everything they look for, whether it be fighting, crafting, virtual properties etc.. and that is why there are so many mmo on the market to appeal to a wide range of types. I never cared for what I consider "time wasters", and for me at least COH is a revelation. I get in, meet up with friends, fight evil, enjoy the story lines, get out. It surpirses me to read these posts complaining about stuff this game never said it would have, at least upon initial release. I think people become sour because this game does something arguably better than all other current mmo's, and that's the fighting. I'm sure it must suck for those who know this game was never structured to what they considered their optimal mmo, which means they'll have to go back to the other games which have fighting that pales in comparion to COH. I would be pissed too, since COH has proven to have such a good base to build on.

what mmorpg isnt? and..er. i might be wrong but aren't/weren't you a big lineage2 fan?
fulmanfu to be honest with you CoH is one of the only games ive found extreamly repeditive, maby after u play a game for 3 years u think it is but 1 mounth? CoH has to be the most repeditive game ive ever seen and maby ever will see, when i first got the game i was amazed, but now i realize it wasmt really ment for hardcore gamers, IMO CoH wont last, who knows maby CoV will bring it out of the hole.

No, i never liked Lineage 2. I hated that as well because it's just a hack and slash game. And not all MMO's are as repetitive as CoH was. Usually in other MMO's you'd craft a bit, kill some monsters, go on a quest, explore, raid and do PvP every once in a while...

Repitition is in all mmos
Hz: Collect xx of yy / Make xx of yy / Kill xx of yy / Take x to y
AC2: Drink potion, kill xx of yy / Take x to y / Run through dungeon to get to other side
KO: Kill xx of yy / visit zz, then kill xx of yy / collect xx of yy from zz mob
Every mmo has the same basic system - If you like it you like it, it you don't you don't.
I like CoH because I do not have to camp mobs (with the rest of the server because everyone knows that mob xx has the best drop). When I group, I group, but when I solo, I want to solo - That is why I like the instanced dungeons of CoH.
I group for TF missions & if I just feel like hunting in Perez Park, Boomtown or Fault Line, but most of the story arcs I do solo.
And I agree with the original poster - this is the best mmo that I have played (who could forget the Rikti Invasion at the end of beta? - can another be coming soon?)

Dont get this game expecting great storylines??? Wth r you talking about? Where do super heros come from?...Comic books. So why shouldnt i Expect Great stories with massive and involving quest?
CoH fell very short of being a "super hero mmo" .............cuz atm its just lvl grinding in tights.
Couldnt agree with you better, I realize now that repition didnt kill it for me, Its the story line. You kill things constantly just to get a new spell then once you get it you have to do it all over again, Yes you are right about the AC2 Hz and NO but thoughs games have storylines, better rewards, more consept. CoH was just not put out there for hardcore gamers. Not a RPG at all IMHO.

I don't understand the problem with the storyline behind CoH. I like the storylines and am waiting to see them in the comic books they are going to be distributing.
I like the story arcs & tf mission stories - Heck I even like the background low lvl stories that set the stage for some of the later story arcs.
CoH has a very good over all story line, very good & detailed back story & plenty of potential for future stories.
I'm not sure what some people want. And I am glad I don't have to try to figure it out.

They are old Static MMO players. they think in terms of games like UO or EQ where the storyline is complete from level 1-X as soon as the game launches, so they see there being "no story line" in game like CoH or AC because the storylines are instead of static at launch updated and continued as the updates roll out.
In the end all of thier posts are meaningless anyway, no one listens to trolls on open boards anyway.
