  • Unfortunately, BOTH City of Heroes and Champions Online have quite a crappy attempt at PvP. CoH's PvP was great when it first came out, and then even better when CoV came out. But from there, it went down hill because of the number of, what the dev'…
  • Love the list of failed MMO's. It's amazing to read & see what actually worked, and what didn't, and why. NC Soft is a smart bunch, even with failed MMO's - they know how to handle it, it seems! Anyway, one thing I don't agree on is your 2012 …
  • The questions here seem to only be related to Champions Online because it was an interview with Bill Roper. It's nothing we haven't heard before, and it's correct to say that comparing MMORPG's success to WoW's is overkill.   However, something I…

  • Champions Online is your answer to this topic. Wait for more videos to come out regarding the travel mechanics and the combat mechanics.. you won't believe how realistic it is   Flying will eventually, once you hit top speeds, give you a sonic bo…
  • BETA Buddy keys are like finding a 10 dollar note on the street nowadays. No BETA invitation contains a buddy key anymore, it was only when the first few waves happened.   Most likely those who HAD a buddy key have given them away by now.   …
  • I'd assume $14.99 USD per month for subscription as per most mainstream MMO's.
  • Yes, you can pick up particular objects and throw them - this have been stated a few times, plus discussed on the official forums at Champions-Online.com

  • Exteel isn't too bad, but it doesn't have "classes" as much. It depends on your loot and what specific weapons you have. Some weapons heal, etc. www.exteel.com You can also try MangaFighter. It has classes, but a little on the "children game" side…

  • Originally posted by isolor As far as costomization goes, I think that their Character creator is the best I have ever seen.   City of Heroes? Champions Online? Where have you been for the last 5 years?

  • I'm keen on Aion as well, even though most Eastern MMO's lack in good gameplay and end up being grind-fest arenas.
  • I'd consider ... both. Though PvE is great content for the leveling process and playing with friends, PvP helps in end-game content; City of Heroes for example (pre i13), was fun to have a bit of PvP action when you have a few minutes to spare.
  • I agree with most of the points stated by the replies. You may have spent time writing this from sratch, MMO, but it seems you haven't played the game long enough to really understand the difference between Brutes and Tanks. On another side, howev…
  • Originally posted by noxdraconis my guess is that it comes down to institutional memory and culture, not intent.  That is, I don't think Jack is setting out to remake CoX, but it will happen anyway.  ~nox  Thank you! This is exactly what I was t…
  • Just because Champions Online fits the same genre as CoH (superheroes), it doesn't mean it's a complete copy. Sure, the development team are the same on both games, but I feel as if Champions Online is the game Jack wanted City of Heroes to be. …
  • Originally posted by enthrone I think the game will launch as a paid game with a subsciption fee and will after 3-4 months become like guild wars for a time, before they remove all the fees and introduce an item mall.   The game is nice though I …
  • Jack has linked CoH and CO together so many times, it ain't funny. And there's nothing wrong with that. Like Jack said himself, CO is like CoH, but better. It'll allow players to do what CoH is (currently) and was lacking. Cryptic's first MMO was …
  • Most likely some of the features or engine development (Cryptic's new engine being used for Champions Online) was being developed when they first started production on Marvel Universe Online (which was scrapped, since Microsoft pulled out) in 2006. …
