Oh yes, I said it.

I played WoW for the trial month and then like 2 months after it. I ended up hating it. Couldn't really get into the whole feel of the game.

Started a trial I got from PAX of CoH awhile ago, I'm hooked. The story is the games greatest appeal I think, plus the lack of overly complicated items and such really makes it superior in my eyes.

The game is fun, something that's usually absent from MMORPGs. WoW seemed like a job, not a game.

Point is, in all reality this is a "late to the party, CoH owns" post, with WoW is inferior overtone.

 

[Wollan]

I disagree.

 

[ManaByte]

CoH is fun for the first ten levels or so. And then you just repeat those exact same ten levels five times. If that's fun for you, ok.

I do really like the collision detection in CoH.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

same.

WoW > friends, family, children, birthdays, holidays, circumsitions, beer, almost sex, maybe a sloppy bj, coke, speed, meth, rape, cucumbers in mayo, tomatoes on rye.

 

[RaySpencer]

CoH starts out awesome, so much fun designing your character and getting into how it plays, the little missions are great, and super powers are loads of fun......then the game get intensely boring, since the missions are all the same, and thats all you get to do, over and over and over and over again.


WoW is a much more solid game, to bad the PvP is kinda lame compaired to DAoC....in the end all MMORPGs are ok games, but shitty RPGs and all basicaly play the same.

 

[flarkminator]

same.

WoW > *

[JackFrost2012]

Yeah, CoH was great!!! for 12 levels. After about 30-40 hours you'll have seen enough, though.

 

[Spencerr]

Meh, it's just an opinion

I personally would rather be a Super Hero than a Woodsman and fight Villians instead of trolls.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Well Millions of people would probably disagree with you. And I mean MILLIONS. lolz on your mmorpg.

 

[Kewk]

In CoH I can't kill other players. No point in even trying it.

How's CoV going to handle that? "Arenas" where bad guy players try to blow up something/whatever, and the good guys try to stop them would be interesting.

They already added PVP arenas to CoH. No need waiting for CoV for that.

[Mupepe]

like everyone said, CoH is so repetitive it's not even funny. God, people are saying the first 12 levels. Bah, I was bored by lvl 9, I only played to get to 14 and fly. And I haven't touched it since. My wife loves it though. and I hate her for it.

What is this thread about?

Somebody who mistakingly said City of Heroes is better than World of Warcraft. They both suck IMO but City of Heroes is beyond ass.

 

[White Man]

WoW > DAoC > CoH > Everything else.

That said, even WoW is worse than Burgertime being emulated by ENIAC.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

I thought CoH was horrible. Every quest was the same. Kill xxx amount of these and find this item blah blah blah. There were about two different texture sets for indoor environments, with the only difference being a random layout. The game was little more than a clickfest with no real stategy. No itemization to keep you interested in character development once you were in the higher levels. There was also little mob variation in the game. And worst of all, the game was a horrible grind. The character creation is more fun than the actual game, which should be seen as a major problem! Also, what kind of super hero game didn't have pvp and villians from the start? Not to mention all of the class balance issues, and little variation in class builds because of this. All of my friends, including myself, couldn't take the self imposed punishment of playing beyond the free month. Trying to still figure out why we were stupid enough to buy it after playing the beta. I wish all of the old CoH threads from around release still existed. I bitch and complained into detail why the game blows ass. Much better than I can do almost a year late. I'd rather forget the time I wasted on the game.



Now WoW has plenty of its own problems, but it did keep me busy for 5 months. And it wasn't agonizing pain like trying to play CoH was. I actually had fun with WoW until I ran out of new content to enjoy.

Thanks, I can't keep up with all these abbreviations.

Carry on.

I don't know, I mean I started CoH after what their 5th major update? Maybe it's gotten better since you guys have played it, maybe my taste is really that different. But WoW bored me at a low level, I'm at 10 in CoH so far and I'm still having fun!

I have played it since #5 was released, I played it today actually. My wife tries constantly to get me back into it. I just can't do it. The levels are, ugh. Some of the new areas are pretty cool. I'll give it that, but the gameplay itself is still major ass. And you're only on level 10. When you get to 20 and realize that nothing has changed since 10 except that you can fly, you'll see.

Buh?

 

[SaitoH]

To the OP: Sounds like you were bored with WoW and looking for a change. Such is the way of MMO's. People get burnt out on one game and play another, then another. It's a vicious cycle that I know all too well.

^_~

CoH was fun in the short term, but not nearly enough content to keep me going.

 

[Tellaerin]

[SyNapSe]

I won't quote it all but I pretty much agree with what CP said. The best part of CoH was the character creation.. The quests were incredibly repetitive and led to one of the 3 dungeons layout/textures in the game.

It was a grind past 10 as the grouping system was a spazz fest. One good thing was the instanced dungeons for even individual quests I suppose.. no more fighting over some mob spawn. Unfortunately that got ruined by the lack of dungeon designs and textures.

 

[Scrow]

oh right, city of heroes. yeah i've heard of that. isn't there a city of villains sequel coming?

would've made more sense to setup CoH much like WoW where there's rivalry between horde and alliance except in CoH instead of horde and alliance it's heroes and villains. could make for some good PvP.

or am i making a fool of myself and that's already the case?

[krypt0nian]

Actually COH is shit compared to WoW.

The combat system si the only cool thing. Everything else is str8 up broken.

I wanted more than anything to love COH but its really half a game.

Wait for the upcoming Marvel or DC MMO to take what COH did and run with it.

 

[siege]

Eh, both of them pretty much suck. In WoW, you sit around in town at level 60 waiting for enough people in your guild to login so you can do an instance you've done a hundred times already. In CoH, you just keep making characters over and over, because it's the only thing fun in the game.

 

[Pimpbaa]

I played CoH before WoW and enjoyed it, but there is no way in hell it's better than WoW. CoH gets so incredibly boring, no variety in the quests, no variety in the areas, uninteresting drops (just those lame enhancements and insperations). Plus it takes so incredibly long to level (the monotony makes it even worse). To say WoW is more like a job compared to CoH is one of the most mind numbingly stupid things I've seen on this board. Anyway, I'm still really looking forward to CoV (I'm a sucker for punishment).

Excuse my ignorance but how is this any different than WoW? Granted, I didn't play WoW very long but it seemed to me that all the quests were essentially identical.
