So Tell me About Champions Online

Its still a relatively new MMO. I have not played it, but I have seen some videos just because I was curious to see another game that Cryptic has made. I was instantly impressed by the Art direction. And the customization seems really fun.

I've heard CO is already starting to suffer, and was curious as to why? Seems like a fun game. I wouldn't mind giving it a try!

Maybe STO subscribers could get access to a free trial for CO, or vice verse. Just a thought.

    Just answer my question. Last I checked this was the off-topic section.

    Wow, your parents obviously didnt teach you manners, and you come across as an idiot to boot.

    Heres a thought, since this is the STO forum, might it make sense that you would find alot more CO players on the........ CO forums? They should be able to answer your questions alot better, dont you think?
    Perhaps next time you will use that underdeveloped brain and at least try to come up with a better approach to your issue.

    What your trying to do is troll. You want people to tell you abotu CO, so you can compare it to STO, and then deride the developer. many people have doen this, many people have gotten banned. Take a hint.

    It would make sense that there are CO players on these forums because I've seen them. They just haven't seen my thread yet.

    You're probably right, maybe I am a troll, I just don't know it. Obviously I come across as one. Time to go rethink my life.

    No, not at all!
    Cryptic connectet this two games.

    If you bought 6 month of CO, you got access to closed STO beta.

    Champions engine is way better: fly, dive, swimm etc.

    Tried to swimm in STO? You just walk into the water, lol!

    Our large guild stopped playing CO because they do not fix the cool stuff like a great world open pvp boss on monster island and there is no real story line, just missions. But the make your own nemesis content is awesome.
    All the balancing while CO was live was a pain, too. Find your template new every few weeks.

    The first events were very good, too. But the winter event allready went smaller. I think CO will be good, if the put ressources to it . if not it will just be like COH but that even faster.
    I had way more fun doing Ackley run in SWG then anything in CO.

    So CO is still a fun game. STO is making fun, too - but I am looking forward to Old Republik now, after seeing SToO.

    Except that he'd need a CO sub to talk there. Same company, same forum policy.

    Unless of course anyone has anything else to add.

    Infact,

    As well as trying to troll, I would also like to know if STO subscribers might be able to get a free trial to play CO, and vice versa.

    Hows that for trolling?

    In short... CO pretty much sucks... great character creator, horrible content... and WAAAAAY too much 4th while TRIBBLE. If you want a good super hero mmo, play CoH... yes, older by many years... but a better game. Or, cross your fingers for DC online to turn out good.

    Its new, it has blemishes.

    But for Super Hero combat, CO is the only game imo.

    I cant play CoX anymore, too slow.

    Did you even play past, like, level 5? Auto punch to build up "rage" or whatever it's referred to in CO is boring as helll. CoH is nonstop clickity click power after glorious power.

    I prefer the faster combat in Champions over what is in CoH. Both games have their advantages, though. I prefer the content and storylines in CoH over those in Champions, but I like the character creator and combat system from Champions.

    But CoH messed up with the implementation of the Architect system. Now the only that happens there it seems is Architect farms which Ravenstein finds boooooooring.

    Maybe in a year or two Champions will catch up with content.

    But anyway, if you play STO you can know the basics of Champions in like 5 minutes. Same engine, similar concepts. Except instead of tooling around space in a spaceship fighting Klingons you run around Canada and The City in spandex fighting large hams.

    DC Online will be fun and Free to play!
