Im sorry I dont have the strength anymore to defend CO from these negative posts since I have been playing hardcore and having the most fun in years. So I will just say u are wrong game rocks case closed, wow Killer.
I have had a chance to play CO and the charater creator is fantastic the game play seems a little lean but have only played a little and plan on playing more before saying its boring or just not my game.
As far as being a WOW killer. That is highly doubtful MMOs by and large are Fantasy based and it will take a Fantasy based game to unseat WOW. I personly hope the SWTOR will unseat it but I know it to is a niche game it may become a big niche but still only a niche.
CO could be the top dog in Hero games a genre Im not super into.
But as someone said each to their own.
I'm willing to give CO a fair look and see if I like it further.
Asheron's Call, Champions Online, Dark Age of Camelot, EVE Online, EverQuest, Lineage 2, Star Wars Galaxies and World of Warcraft.Waiting for SWTOR
Yea well see I envision this genre beating the Fantasy Genre. All the movies coming out have been bigtime comic book hero stuff like Transformers and GiJoe and just wait for Avengers next year Thor and on and on. The potential here is bigger because we havent even gotten into Space Heros and Villains, Galatic Empire like the Kree Skull wars in the Fantastic Four books. Co may get into a bit of that but its gonna PWN the Fantasy games when you got like a Silver Surfer Character with LightSpeed and Hyperspace cosmic flight going on missions. Villains that want to destroy a SUN and the Heros that have to stop them. The Living Tribunal, Thanos kinda stuff, real cosmic Epic stuff coming. The Future is SuperHeros.

The future IS superheroes, for DCUO and MUO. If CO launches on consoles they may last a bit longer then DC. Everything you just mentioned were from other IPs..... ....
I would have to agree with others in this thread and say....
"It's just you."
Well half the people in this thread agree with me ..so ?
I guess ill play the free month, but i wont be paying for this game after that. Have fun to those that enjoy it
edit. Actually i think this game really needs another faction like "villians" to add more dimension to the game. Depth to the gameplay is really lacking ..

So, it means that whether a game is boring or fun is entirely personal preference, and not something that can really be quantified.
I found CoH/CoX to be boring after 1/3 months however I have friends that enjoyed it for many years.
To each his own, you just haven't found the right game for you.

Aion v3 "RELOADED" - A glimpse into the future of the MMO genre
I sorta like the game myself but not enough to buy it. It just seems lacking in certain areas. When I heard they were gonna have public quests in it like Warhammer I thought it would be realized at least in the same fassion. The failure of WAR was that the whole of the gaming comunity wasn't able to play together, and in WAR the PQ's suffered because of that. You could say the world was too big. In CO they just don't have enough PQ's and to me it just didn't seem biig enough. For those folks that didn't play WAR, PQ's literally were all over the place. Sweeping from the common flat lands to the hils and on into caves, there were even PvP based PQ's. Basically at any level range you were at there were 3 areas you could go quest in with at least 3-5 PQ's surrounding anywhere you were at. I figured this would be a BOON in story telling for CO. I imagined this bad dude over here got his little story that dude over there got his and so on and so on. I sorta expected The city and rural areas of CO to be littered with little PQ stories. It though, wasn't fully realized.
PvP was fun I felt but I also made sure my toons had all the critical skills for survival, Example if I had a melee spec he had abilities that turned off travel powers and also regen or invul. If they didnt have defenses I used the travel powers that get you out of trouble, tunneling or teleport. This though I feel is where the game sorta was bad show for some. Those no inclinded to read the descriptions of the powers and just hogpogged their heros together when entering PvP. They get destroyed and that made some bad karma for the game. They still really need a little more focus in the balance area(not nerfs). I sorta felt that all the power frameworks should have everything you need to have a mostly complete character that can cover 2-3 build types. Example there are no heals/support/dps powers in the MIGHT framework, I envisioned them having more choices in a single framework like I always wondered how we would make heroes that could fill other roles yet seem to function to whatever framework they belonged to. An example I guess of what I was thinking it would be like was might would have a yell or battlecry to buff teamates, or like passive auras to regen teamates health that would function differently than how a heal or buff would work from another framework. Now I undestand that seeing how we can draw from other power FW you could pick and choose what you like, I just thought there would be more choices.
With all that said CO is still a fun game, especially for newcomers and casuals. I just thought CO being basically developed at the time it was, with so much other good things to draw from other MMO's that it would be better realized than it actually was. I myself loved PUBLIC QUESTS in Warhammer Online. They were everywhere in WAR. They also gave reason/life to the mobs in the game. There wasn't alot of areas where mobs were just standing around waiting to be killed. They mostly where in PQ's and the mobs that weren't in PQ's were mostly odd and end wildlife. Every area had a little story to be told and I thought with this being a hero game a PQ system like war would rock. The game community all being able to play together would have avoided the failure of WAR. When Jack Emmert said they where gonna have PQ's in an interview I saw him in. I was so happy. How they went live though with what they did. It just pales in compairison to WAR and its a shame too cause CO will not suffer from population probelms of WAR.
Shame too I was hoping CO would come through for me. It was just lacking for me. I still may get it down the road after I tryout Jumpate and some other MMO's. Right now I just can't commit. Have fun you all that like the game, it really isn't that bad. I think over time it has potential to get better for sure. Oh, and sorry for the novel. Lol...
To the OP if you played CoH, then what you are really feeling is most likely that "I've done this before." It plays a lot and I mean a lot like CoH, with just some minor improvements here and there. It's like playing the game Cryptic should have made with CoH. CoH is still more fun in my opinion, but that is just my opinion.
I think the best thing about CO is character creation area, making your superhero is done well. The tutorial is fine for what it is but after that the game just doesn't compel me to play it anymore. The missions are straightforward and simple the quests line doesn't draw you in for a primary PVE game. You don't feel attached enough to your hero to continue leveling, and that is a problem the game has. No reason to group it's pretty much a pure solo PVE game. Instance after instance it doesn't feel like a game world, ala AoC. Combat is rather simplistic and one dimensional, energy builder then nuke ...rinse and repeat zzzz PvP is bad. One arena full of random players duke it out for no reason. This game just doesn't have that "it" factor to keep you motivated to play. I'll most likely play till Aion is officially released, since i enjoyed it much more.
I agree, I fell asleep while playing the Open Beta. It's one of the most boring MMO's ever released.
How the hell is CO boring? you guys are fos. Explain to us what is boring in CO, give us the info please.
Not Boring: Character Creation,
Boring:
1. The same tutorial mission with every new character, takes the fun out of creating a new character.
2. Once your past the tutorial, you have two zones to choose from, after two characters I got bored of making new characters.
3. The quests are all very static, same places each time, same objective each time, low replay value.
4. Standard WoW type quests. Fed ex quests, go here kill x, go here retrieve x for me, and escort missions.
5. I tried 3 or 4 power sets, all very similar. 1. build up power, 2. some kind of nuke, 3. an AoE.
6. combat, combat, combat gets boring after a while. But there is no engaging plot lines for quests like City of Heroe. Sure the quests where fun to read, usually done with humor, I never got into them as much as City's, felt like I was saving something (or someone).

That's how i feel about the game right now. If it was free to play i would spend 50$ on it but paying a monthly fee for CO is a no no.
I doubt ill play past the free month aswell, there seems to be no replay value after you make your main toon. They really dropped the ball with having villians as another faction, it would atleast act as cool dviersion with world PvP happening. But as is the game doesnt hold much longevity.

Sorry bout that. I dont like using Internet lingo much, but thats all that i could come up with at the moment.
Getting a little frustrated I cant get inot the game. CO is down for emergency crap right now.

same here, It had been pretty smooth at least until now though
Yea well see I envision this genre beating the Fantasy Genre.

its just you, im having a blast =D
It's pretty fun for me.
Quests actually have something to do with a story, and not just random things such as CoX.
It could be thing where, if you're not into the whole super hero cheesey action setting, then you might not like the game in general.
But I can dig it.
Groovy.
Was gonna buy this tomorrow but tbh it sounds a bit crap.
1. I love World PvP
2. I hate Arena PvP
3. I detest instanced zones, thats why I quit AOC
4. I Played COH to lvl 50 but quit on issue 3 when they took out all the fun.
5. Played WOW for 4 years and am at this moment in Wintergrasp Queue.
Based on the above info I think am gonna hate this game :S
i was going to get this game today, but this game has poor PVP(juat an cage match), how can a super hero game have poor PVP...
