Flight was objectively best for a scrapper. The attack had a knock down that you could exploit in combat to stun-lock an enemy of your choice. 1v1 was trivial if you had faster cooldowns, and watching villains cry in agony as their dumb mastermind was pinned to the ground was priceless.

>>258562012

The character creator for Champions Online was only a slight upgrade, which is saying a lot. And even then CoH put in the ability to customize the animations that your chracter uses.

The power system for CoH is MUCH easier to approach than Champions Online and the enhancements system was an amazing way to min-max characters.

Much more coherent introduction to the world and better quests, even at launch than Champions.

More content and the full separate villains game.

Going rogue actually added in quests where you can chose how to proceed and they would affect how your character advanced and what would open up for them. Even so far as switching from a hero to a villain and vice versa.

>>258562061
I personally loved when I grabbed Air Superiority and Flight on a Melee character and buttfucked ranged/flight easy mode kiddies thinking they could get free kills like low level PvE.

God damn it


Okay awhike ago me and another Paragon employee came to /v/ to discuss this.


I was a PR om the forums along with Lighthouse and other employee's

The truth of the matter was really Paragon studios/Cryptic wanting to move CoH franchise to another publisher due to NCSoft not having the best "interests"in line with the game. This entered a Dispute between NCSoft and the Dev's of CoH with which court hearings were filed and Cryptic lost to NCSoft.

The response after this was to shut it down to work on GW2 and other projects(this was NCSpft plan for YEARS with only Paragon Studios and Cryptic defending it)

With Cryptic out if the picture, some devs left for other projects and few stayed.


Its pretty shitty situation since then.

No like seriously it why almost all CoH fans are upset as fuck when it was getting shut down.

The game was generating a profit for ncsoft and they just decided one day to shut it down. They still refuse to tell anyone why they did this and have turned down almost any and all offers to buy the IP because "We looked to sell the franchise multiple times, however, we were unsuccessful in finding a suitable partner that we thought would support City of Heroes' fans in a manner they were accustomed to for years to come"

They just hate us.

Alright, guys. I missed CoH sadly, only having witnessed life and death of EXTEEL. I have also played DC Online and Champion Online. What can you tell me about the game? If this game gets brought back, i would love to play it if it really is a whole different game. DC Online was bearable but a bit boring while Champions Online was REALLY bad. At least that's the way i remember it. If it matters, i LOVE customization in video games.

>>258558961

>>258552721

5 archetypes with an offensive power pool and a defense power pool to pick from. Apart from archetype, there was no restriction on what combination you used. Heroes and villains differed fairly significantly with heroes focusing more on cooperative play and villains focusing on aggressive play.

>>258565027
Oh, thanks!

>>258563832

>>258564236
It was definetly a step behind CO for character model customization having less costume slots to edit and way less sliders (chest, hips, height and mass if I remember correctly) and in terms of powers you could pick a primary and secondary powerset (which could be attacks and defence, or support and dps, it depends on your role).
But the powersets were very diverse ranging from baseball bats and thuggish punching to swords made of fire and alien transformation and dimensional manipulation. Instead of gear you could augment your powers with bonuses like extra damage, less cooldown time etc and later on you would get additional power effects.
The world was diverse and the factions in the world well mostly very thought out and well designed. There was good variety for quests, bank robberies, super hero strike team missions and more. I'm missing a lot more stuff but I don't want to spend ages writing about it.

tl;dr cooler characters and actual content.

>>258564874

There was a shit ton of 'classes' called Archetypes.

But the thing was with each archetype you selected you were given the choice of a primary and secondary powerset and there were hundreds if not thousands of possible combinations you could choose from.

I can't list them all but just take a look.

http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Primary_Power_Sets

The gameplay itself is somewhat dated as it is a pretty old game but it was solid and pretty fun to play.

>>258564236

I can tell you that almost every attack in the game had 2 animations you could chose between at character creation.

CoH is a little hard to describe as there was just so much added by the end. But to give you an Idea on the hero side one of the first sets of missions involved you joining an almost 'Teen Titans' esque small-league superhero group. You go on missions with your little super team, and learn a bit about each of their personalities (I loved the fact that one of them actually straight abandons you in a misssion when things get hairy.)

You can actually make 5 different costumes for your hero, like if you wanted to addopt a team color scheme in addition to your normal one, and there were even 'costume change' specific emotes.

But to give you an idea of what CoH did that most other MMO's don't. They made it a point to add in things like being able to emote-commands to make your pets and stuff talk. It was complex enough that you could actually load in .txt scripts to actually have your character act out a scene if you wanted. Which was great when you saw a Zombie Mastermind yelling at his minions to stop talking about brains and get in a line or something.

Oh, and every content patch was like a new issue of a comic book, with plot details slowly moving forward. And not that pussy WoW 'nothing actually changes' shit either, they killed off their flag character near the end.

The game also seriously rewarded exploration, awarding badges and experience from simply exploring the map.

Powers were customizable far beyond just choosing two sets. You also had enhancements, which were one time use upgrades to improve things like accuracy, base damage, cost or cooldown. Powers had limited slots to which enhancements could be applied. There was a certain level of strategy in tailoring you enhancements to be appropriate to your playstyle.

Massive enemy encounters were frequent, usually on a 4 to 6 hour spawn time. Think of it as the super villain unleashing their giant monster on the city.

Each questline was an ongoing plot against a villain group. Instances were fun and engaging with selectable difficulty, though I don't know anyone who played on anything other than Invincible (enemy level +6).

Guilds were never better in any MMO, in my opinion. Someone else can elaborate on that, its making me sad to think about.

City of Heroes was/is still one of the most unique MMOs out there. You could transition the game to a F2P system with all powers unlocked, but with cosmetic unlocks/crafting and you'd make a fortune. Make a majority of the costume pieces free, but the more fringe stuff and weapon pieces, power colors etc cost dosh or craftable/tradable.

The F2P system they had on release was overall pretty good but a bit too restrictive. I'm still fucking pissed at NCSoft though because literally a week before the game was announced to be shutdown I had bought some CoX funbux and NCSoft refused to refund me.

>>258567809
considering one of the two games is called City of Villains, it's kind of passable

>>258564874

I think one of the best balancing aspects of the game was animations for attacks and the effects on combat.

When you use a skill in CoH, it has its own animation with its own properties. It checks for your position and then plays it and essentially 'locks' you into a position for it.

This meant that there were attacks with very large windups that were interuptable, and that sometimes it was wiser to use an attack with less animation to go through. Like if you were chasing an enemy and knew your attack wouldn't kill them and needed to keep moving.

Other times you would want an attack with a long animation (Shadow Maul comes to mind, a cone based punching attack) because you would regain a little bit of energy as it went on.

The biggest praising from game-play though comes from groups. EVERY class can do it's job. And by that I mean that it can do it's job damn near entirely with 0 support from other members of the team. It's amazing to see a game designed where a Tank is going into a boss encounter with minimal or even 0 healing from another team member.

>>258567838
It was a grind. A terrible, horrible grind with samey instances and shitty balance. It wasn't unique in the slightest except for maybe the suit customization.

>>258567960
It helps that they really nailed the animations for attacks.

Look CoH/V literally was a MMORPG of its own.

In every fucking server you had depth with EVEY SINGLE TOON ANYONE EVER MADE

from there bios which was god tier to the way the looked and changed to the holidays.

You had people literally do Costume Contests and give free shit away and everyone loved it, wont see that in WoW

You had insane amounts of skillsets and abilities that made you FEEL like a SUPER player.

Fuck dude you didnt have mounts you had fucking TELEPORT and real Flight or you could jump over the tallest building

You had REAL guild achievements from simple badges toventire bases personally designed by you and you could hold GUILD VS GUILD BATTLES IN YOUR BASE

raids wwre against gsint monsters that took 100s of players to defeat like Hamedon

Cool missions, a in game COMIC BOOK SETTING

Cool in depth enemies always interesting folklore

ACHIEVEMENTS/BADGES THAT GAVE YOU BOOSTS OR ABILITIES FOR WORKING YOUR ASS TO GET THEM

YIU COULD MAKE YOUR OWN MISSIONS YOUR OWN STORIES TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS

Literally everything abiut CoH was god tier fun noone i have ever met who played it hated the game or did not get sucked into it.

The only thing that coh lacked was mission level looks. It was usually the same settings throughout the game which kinda was lame but so little bad versus so much GOAT

I came in at the start of CoX. I had a plant/thorn Dom and three crabs.

I spent the entire game going through the same instances with little change. The power pools were hit or miss depending on what you picked, like EN/? being amazing for blasters but Elec/? being shit because endurance drain was terrible.

By the end of the game I was farming clockwork missions or something so I could gain enough infamy for more IO sets.

I maintain the opinion that anybody who wants this game to come back is having a serious case of nostalgia goggles. The game had charm but it was legitimately horrible. Even as far as MMO's go.

My friends friends dad was a hardcore player. I can't remember his character name, but he was an Elvis-based tanker. My understanding was that Circa 2008ish he was THE best tank on his server. I came over to his house and saw him solo a maximum difficulty zone without taking any damage. My brain exploded out of my skull and became plastered to the ceiling watching him.

Based on this thread, I find that hard to believe.

>>258569507
Thats a pretty vague and subjective answer. Care to elaborate?

It's really odd, there's like a gaping hole where the superhero MMORPG subgenre should be thriving.
I've no idea why no dev has noticed the potential for fame and shekels here.

Oh yeah make sure you have a lot of ram if you want to scan everything at once. 3gb ram were not enough for a full scan of a 600gb hdd.

You're forgetting that you could also select the difficulty of your missions for greater rewards.

And that you were given moral missions that ended with you having to make a choice that could actually affect what would happen to your character later and what missions were available for you.

And the little details like civilians you could click on and see talk about other PC's or facts about the world.

There's just to much GOAT in this game.

I miss CoH so much ;.; i just want to go back to my mmorpg

Why do WoWfags get there shitty game but i cant have mine? Fuck life

>>258569815
More people want to make fantasy worlds or just flat out play it safe by following more prominent MMOs which have always been fantasy.

It's too bad because CoH had all sorts of settings and themes mixed in, there was nothing to stop you playing your Ye Olde Knight alongside a Cyberpunk Nazi Squad Leader. Sci-fi Fantasy Modern settings really are the best, enough of shitty tired Wood Elves and Mountain Dwarfs.

I dislike MMORPGS with a passion, because they seem to drag on with generic creation, stingy players, and most of all bland moves.

City of Heroes did the exact opposite of that and shit on the competition all the way. Everything was unique and creative, the players were bro-tier for the most part, and the powers were fun to utilize.

>>258569489
I don't think you played it near the end of its life.

I don't dispute early CoX being very grindy, but we're talking about early 2005 MMOs. Everything was grindy back then, even moreso than modern games.

But 2009/2010 City of Heroes? Glorious. It's not nostalgia at all, it was a legitimately fun game to play especially with friends. It paved the way for many MMOs and had a lot of shit most MMOs never dared touch. Mission creation, extremely robust character creation, story, sidekicking. Not to mention being one of the few non-fantasy MMOs.

Everything is not a Nemesis plot, even if you say it's a Nemesis plot. If it was a Nemesis plot, then it'd be a Nemesis plot.

Too bad there was NO FUCKING LOOPING OPTION.

Seriously, you enter a new area, music plays for about 20 seconds, then silence. No way to keep it going. No battle music either. It made shit so boring.

I complained about it on the forums and literally no one agreed with me. "I turn off the music anyway :^)"

Speaking of which, the playerbase was the biggest group of dickriders I ever saw. The devs could do no fucking wrong. The forums were a bigger hugbox echo chamber than fucking lebbit. It's why the game saw so little progress in terms of core improvements in 8 goddamn years. They were FINALLY starting to fix things when NCSoft shitcanned it. The fucking irony.

And if the Sidekick mechanic wasn't enough. If you aren't sure your friend can hang with the big boys as Billy Boy Wonder because he doesn't know much of the game you could instead shrink yourself down instead and work off some of your XP debt.

God bless scaling technology.

Wasn't it also the case that in some events the enemies spawned and regardless of your level you could fight them?

You'd best not be fucking with me, OP.
CoH was my favorite MMO of all time after SWG.
No others ever matched up when SWG and then CoH finally went down, I gave up MMOs for good.

But this... I don't even know what to think of this.

>>258569228
If you are capable of a little roleplay it is the best game for creating a character and feeling like you really are a growing as a hero or villain in a detailed world with lots of well designed content.

Does anyone have the ORIGINAL CoV customization music? The really hardcore ominous shit with the thunder and everything. It's the first theme on >>258571407 but a more intense rendition. Is it available anywhere?

Imagine a game where everything good and just happened

Where you could lig in and enjoy a good game where challenge and fun and awesomeness existed

Now i want you to picture things like hioware and ea titles that are shit and everything thats wrong with them. Now think of CoH as what is right with everything vidya
