It isnt like you think. It never feels like you have to use weak attacks to build energy and then use the energy for good attacks. It flows very smoothly.

Honestly, CO is leaps and bounds better than CoH graphically and combatwise. More and better costumes too. And you can hybridize more than 2 meager sets. Except there is one MASSIVE problem which in the end makes CoH immensely better: CO was abandoned. It was. We've had 1 new powerset and just a few new powers in the old sets, 4 or so sweeping changes to power sets for QoL and updated looks, and ZERO expansions. We were promised numerous things and NONE were implemented in regards to being able to be grey heroes or villains and an expansion. The level cap is the same as it was 11 years ago. And I assure you, your data is correct. I log in from time to time and you're lucky if there is 200 people on at once and you can see the amount of players by looking at the maps and servers. It's sickeningly sad. What a waste of potential. First, they focused on vehicles and that was all they did for like 2 years. Then they did nothing. NOTHING. Now they have the predatory lock boxes. Secondly, and to top it aaaaall off; theyve now gotten rid of subscriptions completely. Once a credit card you have in the game expires, you can never re sub again. No one new can sub either. And if you have 24 characters like me, guess what? You have to spend about 300 dollars to upgrade them all from silver to gold so youre not stuck with just one powerset. Hybridization is a HUGE part of champs online. It makes me fking sick thinking about the waste of a game CO is. My card expires in 2021. When that happens, I will never play CO again. Very sad. But Cryptic and perfect world are pathetic.

Most unique names arent going to be reused so that isnt a good reason. This universe has 60k players. So yeah, it makes sense in the marvel universe that you dont have 2 scarlet witches. But it makes no sense here to take something like Frost or thunderbird or insert any other simple super hero name and restrict it to one char. Id take 1000 frosts over 1 person with a name like atomic french fry or a name that is just a description of powers or personality that are akin to calling yourself "hey shoot fireballs from my hands"

Tells someone being polite and asking a question to chill; proceeds to go on ridiculous baseless rant pretending that the lawyers of DC and Marvel arent well known for attacking superhero games and IPs. LMFAO! Love it.

GM Edit: If you've somehow found this thread and not any of the others that deal with this issue, please note that the policy has changed as of September 2019: Im seeing a crap load of rip off characters lately with the complete names (a nick fury, silver surfer, captain marvel, Joker, Iron Man, the hulk and that was just in the last 2 hours). Maybe im wrong, and i hope i am, but i feel like NCsoft could be pressured by Marvel and DC to shut us down over blatant copyright violations like that. Theyll say NCsoft has a responsibility to shut us down in order to prevent their product from being used to rip off IPs from marvel and DC (and whomever else). Come on people. At least make your uncreative characters have a different name. Dont freakin call yourself captain marvel and make your char look exactly like her.

Since NCsoft or cryptic arent running this mug, can we lift the restrictions? There is no reason for us to not be able to have more than one hero with the same name. Far too many generic names like "whiplash", "thirteen", "toxin", (which i proudly own lol on my server), etc etc etc are taken. Even lame ass champions online has no restriction on names being the same.

LOL

That sucks lol. That color scheme for the unique widow helm (for non arachnos characters) is just awful. Thanks for the answers

Can any one confirm this is supposed to be this way?

The Arachnos helmets cant be re colored on non arachnos characters, and the crab back pack shows up in the tailor and character creator for non arachnos characters but doesnt show when you enter back in to the game with that back pack selected. Bug or by design for these issues? Cuz id sure love that female round widow helmet for non arachnos ATs but not stuck with it being purple-ish blue >.<

Some of the restrictions on costumes are pretty bad. Not being able to have 2 different shoulder armors for example. Or not being able to wear the tech knight chest detail on bare skin. Was there ever a mod for this? I mean, there are NPCs with options that we dont have, so it has to be possible. Like that giant bad guy in the armor with the scorpion tail.

...it doesn't show up when i leave the char creator or tailor. Again, this is non arachnos characters. Like my Spine/dark armor user. Very irritating.

Something where an invading force forces heroes and villains to unite. And more snow places! Hell i dont remember if there are snow zones already

That bottom part was so cringey though

I just want more costumes honestly. Middle eastern stuff Various feather things and bird inspired stuff like champs online has Ability to have different parts on each limb Well, i guess the ability to change color of the prestige powers would be good. And super speed letting you run up walls.

For what? lol. Remember when people could play games without needing all the non sense stuff like daily login rewards?

Ah, ok. Thanks.

but ive never used a transfer before. When do we get this option?

All 4 servers are packed. Dont worry. And welcome! Be forewarned, the weekends are madness because of the amount of people playing. Dont get discouraged when/if servers are full or go down. During the week i literally had no problems at all. So do stick around and try on monday if the weekend ends up chaotic like last weekend. LOL my server, excelsior, is down as we speak. IDGAF! Im just as hyped to play as i was last week and having a freakin blast.

Also, someone said you can use speed run to climb buildings in CO. That is not true unless that's changed since the last i played CO which was just 2 months ago. You cant even climb over low curbs with speed in CO lol.

Champs Online is a half assed game, that's why CoX is better. The ONLY pros CO has over this game are 1.) Hybridization. Ill admit, CoX's lack of hybrid classes is really weird. By 2012, they should have added it. Just as an example: In champs online i have a character named Riot. He uses the various guns in CO. But as an energy builder, i use night stick skin over the 1h melee weapon class. CoX does force you in to being stuck with dual pistols, for example. You dont get to use a variety of guns, ala The Punisher. 2.) The char creator in CO is a little better than CoX. You can wear 2 different shoulder pieces, for example. 3.) The graphics, of course, are better. And the action-tab target hybrid style is nice. HOWEVER! 1.) Ill take the lack of hybrid classes over the lack of power options in CO. There are no elemental/dark/light/energy melee classes in CO. Literally NONE. There is ONE kinetic melee class. No plant powers. No real pet classes. No shield defense. No actual weather control class. Although ill admit CoX's shield defense set leaves a lot to be desired. I just want a good shield throw and some acrobatics like Captain America has. CO's auras arent as cool as CoX's. Not by a long shot. 2.) I mean, CO's char creator gives more freedom of what to wear and how, but CoX has better armor pieces and more of them. Would like some feathery stuff so i can make my native american named thuderbirdd who controls the weather, but whatevs. So it's kind of a wash between the 2 games. 3.) The graphics arent THAT much better than CoX's. But the important stuff is what CO lacks. Barely any thing added to the game in its entire existence and ive been playing since early access. They promised us we'd get villains or at least grey heroes. Got none of it. Neither game has proper environmental usage. And neither game lets you throw around your enemies properly. CO is a joke. It feels like nothing more than a costume simulator. Hell, even PW's website, Arc, lists CO as just that. Theyve given up on the game. It's stagnant and boring af and they refuse to add more stories to it. It has had ZERO real expansions in 10 years. ZERO. It's like a forever beta. Im sticking with CoH until city of titans comes out. It's the most superior super hero game out right now. And if NcSoft screws us, i guess i wont have any superior super hero game lol. DCUO and Champs online need to have a baby.

NCsoft and cryptic are both aware of our servers. But it wouldn't even really be a licensing agreement. It would be a contract that says we can only pay you what we get after the PROVEN cost of running the servers. If people get bored and the game becomes barren again, then so be it. Hopefully NCsoft is paying attention to the SWG legends and other private servers of sunsetted MMOs and realize they could make a little profit for literally doing nothing. They dont have to help, offer new content or do any thing else. Let amateurs create content just modding for elder scrolls/fallout games (and so many others). Not to mention the create a adventure options. It can be done without some sort of licensing contract demanding payment for x amount of time.

Goes to ncsoft. Our admins/mods/devs provide proof of payong for servers bills, show how much theyre raking in, and the rest to ncsoft. Im willing to pay to play.

1.) Are there any kind of bird type masks or helmets? Champs online has them, so i thought maybe i missed them in the COH creator. 2.) Can we have only one shoulder piece or wrist piece? In other words, instead of the gunslinger shoulder armor of the ox skulls being on both shoulders, is there a way to have just one shoulder covered? 3.) Not really a question, but i noticed there are no feathers (like native american style stuff). Did i just miss them or something?
