If your being serious about starting one of them i will say CoH/V Theres too many reasons why CoX is a great game so ill just say why its a better choice than WAR.

I recently finished playing WAR after playing for 2months. But heres how i see WAR o and before i start if you want good pvp dont play this game since you wont get any pvp after the scenarios in tier 1 (1-11)

WAR is all about rvr since rvr gear kicks the shit out of pve gear by a long shot. So everybody does RvR but heres the reason why theres no pvp. It is easier to grind influence points if you avoid any combat and just do the castle keeps. So whenever a castle is being defended trust me you wont be attacking it. Mainly because its broken system since the hero's will **** any WBs that try to attack it while theres people defending.

WAR quests are tedious and very boring after Tier 2 and since scenario's are hardly played in T2 and T3 you have to do them or PQ and PQs are not worth the time imo.

The graphics look great sure but when it comes down to fighting warbands even with a good setup i can bet you still lag.

Classes are outbalanced too i saw this in T3/T4 and for Dest its in all tiers. Order have shitloads of Warrior priests and Bright wizards and Dest just have a boatload of choppa's Dont be surprised if your playing a scenario against/with 5-8 other choppa's.

I could go on but i wont. Like said before the games not too dead from T1-3 but it sure as hell aint lively.

How is it now? I mean, all the reviews and stuff are old, soo...

Its still great and even though its been out for a while NCSOFT are still bringing out new classes and new content for example the Shields class which is like a tank/dps type class for heroes and the newly added user content which in theory makes the content this game has to offer the the re playability infinite.

Is it worth a go?

Obviously. Its cheap and theres a free trial BUT i would not recommend the free trial to anyone who is serious about picking the game up. The content the free trial offers is passable in a day and pretty much in one party too. It stops at level 13 which took my last 4 alts a day to get to and it took one party but mainly because i was the leader so whenever someone said they had to go i wwas able to quickly fill the spot.

Is it very grindy?

Lol ! No not at all and if you are noticing any grind that means you are not playing the game properly. This is a party based game and even though it is possible to solo (experience needed) its not recommended and it sure as hell aint as fun. The cap is level 50 remember but with that said you wont even notice it. Since every few levels you just keep waiting to unlock new things for example.

level 13 - Travel power
level 20 - Cape
level 30 - Aura's
level 40 - Epic pool
level 50 - Max level !

With that said theres also Task forces to look forward to that unlock at certain levels which are similiar to raids and last about 2-5 hours. Trust me your going to want some pizza and a drink before starting one of these.

How is the PvP?

Surprisingly enough i never got round to doing pvp properly when i resub in a few days imma respec my spines char and give it a real try. From what elegance has said it seems to be really fast lol.

Population?

Now the population....Its lower than most popular p2p games i aint going to lie about that. But the real question is do you notice it?

No you dont. Making a FULL team takes me 15mins at the most. And its much easier at lower levels then making a full team for TFs take longer because im very selective about what classes i bring with me.

The community is amazing so theres a lot of player events as well as Community triggered events like the Rikti Raid





Believe it or not theres 50+ people there if not more and this was all made because a few people were bored lol

Also like to note im on the EU servers and our population is significantly lower than the US.

And what server should I go on?

For US its Freedom

For EU its Union




No it really doesnt like i said before it depends how you are playing. If you start to feel it getting grindy you are playing it wrong.

I wish i would be able to take some people who are interested in the game through some of my parties i bet 99% of them would subscribe after playing a day with me on CoX.

Anyways if you have anymore questions pm me! i play the EU servers so i cant help ya ingame :P Shit i typed too much >_> answers your question though so READ IT!
