L2 vs CoH

I believe that both are coming out in the coming weeks so which are you gonna be playing??

I voted CoH for two reasons.

1. It's the most fun I've had since early EQ.

2. I have no interestest in a game which is by all accounts a brutal treadmill catassfest.

Having said that if people are having fun with, and enjoy Lineage 2, more power to them!

I enjoyed Lineage 2. I can't see myself playing it though with the chat system and UI. Although I haven't played much of CoH, it seems much fresher and varied than Lineage 2. (there is rampant duping and the economy will be a huge problem IMO with or without duping)

I may not play either but if I play one it'd probably be CoH as it's geekier.

WoW looks like a badly drawn distorted cartoon with the option to place a flag banner on your back and call it a cloak. nuff said!

All that and is still blows EQ out of the water.

City of Heroes is hands down the most fun I have had in a long time in any game. Lineage 2 consisted of killing foxes for 7 levels and just naming them something else. No thanks. To quote a co-worker, "Lineage 2, 1000 miles of shit."

I voted CoH.

For me, L2 seemed nice, but I couldn't handle the movement. Click...click...click...click. And if you use WASD, it's very rough and very slow.

I just created "Tampon Man" in CoH last night, so I haven't played it enough to bitch, but where are the PC villains? WTF? PVE is too...static. And where's my Tampon cave and do I get a Tamponmobile? Oh well, for the couple of hours I played last night, it was VERY fun. Looking forward to playing tonight. Oh, the exp bar in CoH is driving me nucking futs. It dings every time I get a full bar, which really only equals a fraction of a level, but I fall for it every time the bar fills up. It goes ding, and I start cheering, and then I realize I'm still level 2. Someone needs to be dragged into the street and shot over this.

The 'Chronicle 1' patch for L2 isn't coming out until 'early June' according to an email I got from NC this morning. I won't be buying it immediately if this is true most likely. Might pick up CoH instead, and then check out L2 later after they patch the bugs and stuff.

CoH hands down, tho they're both very different games. For instance, CoH is fun, Lineage isn't.

And lets not forget that you might actually be able to tell people apart in CoH. L2's character creation could have been designed by a 6 year old mongoloid. We will give them 12 choices total! But you can see little girls in underwear!

Atrocious.

Lord Nagafen reserved on Virtue!

Why Virtue with everyone else on Victory? From reading the other thread, it appeared that for those that preordered, Victory would be up three days before the rest of the servers. Seems like the first three servers will be way overpopulated though.

Hey, the inkies definitely aren't "little." The jiggle factor of the DE girls is friggin amazing. Too bad the PvE sucks so much ass.

I do have to say that the PvP, what little I saw (only 2 lvl 10 chars), is very fair and balanced. Someone ganks you, their name turns red, then ANYONE can now attack them without penalty. I got PK'd a couple times (always at 1/4 health), and each time I was able to run back after respawn and gank the ganker. Revenge is sweet.

I just can't see putting in the DAYS of exp grinding necessary to get 40+ to get to do the PvP seiges or raise a dragon.

CoH for me. Tried L2 and it failed to hook me. Plus I like tights

It is because I was too lazy to look up which server was which....I had a 50-50 chance of being right. I am reserved on whichever one the head-start folks get. Victory....Virtue....whatever

noel · Post by **noel** » April 22, 2004, 5:04 pm

I'm just going to create the same three characters on every server to cover my bases.

Shaerra · Post by **Shaerra** » April 22, 2004, 5:13 pm

But what will there be to do at higher levels? Still just walk (fly) around beating up meanies on the street?

Any groups on Prime tonight?

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » April 22, 2004, 6:42 pm

Are there any shapeshifter powers? I'd like to play a female able to turn into a guy just in case someone freaks out.

Well, no shifting a la ChameleonMan etc..

You can change your shape with some of the sets though, Spines(Spines come out all over your body and you can stay that way as long as you wish and then turn back to normal) and the Stone Armor set(Stones cover your body).

About Shaerra's question, what happens in the higher lvls, still fighting thugs on the streets?

There are Elder zones for the end game that you fight in, still, it's fighting enemies but not thugs in the streets!

We're talking Demons, Aliens, Monsters and so on...

The Hamidon is a high-lvl encounter that requires several teams( a whole supergroup! ) to be able to beat.

The CoH Storyline is also very good! I wont reveal too much, but later in the lvls, if you fight a certain enemy, things will happen to your char that wouldn't happen if you didnt choose to fight that enemy!

I also read a post by Statesman, and he revealed some of the things that come in retail and the upcoming patch. More interactivity!

For example, if you are defeated in one of the 5th Columns Fortresses you encounter later in the game, instead of ending up at hospital, you will be captured and put in a cell in the fort! You need to break out of the cell and find your team-mates to be able to escape.

That is awesome!! I cant wait to play this game!! I only got to play the beta for 3 days. Had a level 11 Mutant Electric Blaster.

Im probably going to be The Raven or Ravenstorm in retail. Whichever name I can get

Oh, how do you get titles btw? Like The Amazing or The Incredible?

Keverian FireCry · Post by **Keverian FireCry** » April 23, 2004, 3:33 pm

Btw if you are interested in CoH, you should read the comic. They have one online you can download in adobe reader files.

http://www.cityofheroes.com/media/comic.html

Under Navigate Comic Book, go to Promotional Comic Book. It gives background on one of the main villain groups, The 5th Column.

Kev!

First title you get at lvl 15. Second at lvl 25.

Ransure · Post by **Ransure** » April 23, 2004, 9:45 pm

Played both, although CoH only for a day... but I must say, thats the game Im gonna buy...

Ransure reserved on Victory

Kwon, and can you pick your title at those levels? Or does it have to do with your skills or class?

Kwonryu DragonFist · Post by **Kwonryu DragonFist** » April 24, 2004, 12:15 am

You have a lot of selections to choose from at lvl 15 and so at lvl 25.

You won't be able to write your own title though, then we would have some L33t titles.
