    Default Champions Online, Who's getting it/Discussion

    At first I thought it was going to be exactly like CoH/CoV, while there are a bunch of similarities the customization and nemesis etc. just looked awesome. So i had to pre order it . Who else is looking forward to this game and or geting it?

    I know this isn't a free MMO but I saw other threads about this game so I just said what the hell.

    I'm waiting for the open beta before I decide to place a pre-order or not. Last time I jumped into an MMO it didn't turn out so well -Looks over at his AoC box-

    I've had it pre-ordered for a while now and the game looks very impressive. Like most games there will be the OnRPG moron who instantly bash it but for me I am finding it more interesting than Aion. This is one of the few games that steps outside of the average medieval/fantasy genre. Another interesting point of the game is the more active combat system but not taking it to the extreme of Age of Conan where every swing is done by you. So far the system seems to be similar to that of CoH/CoV where all attacks are skill based and there simply is no auto-attack. I will have to wait for the open beta to try this myself since no one in the CB can currently confirm it due to the NDA.

    I don't think it will either but I'm at a very mobile stage in my left right now (hence my location being listed as 'Currently mobile') so I never know if I'm going to have a stable internet connection to support a P2P gaming habit.

    It's a superhero mmo. My interest is spiked by default, aside from that..videos I've seen make it look rather intense. CoX had some fast cool down skills to make it feel a little more actioned out, or to give the idea of a faster powerset. But champions literally has rapid fire.

    It seems to play like an Action MMO. Looks really nice.

    I'm still wondering if it has a auto attack feature or just skills like CoX.

    The coolest thing about this game is the fact that you can get any of the skills. You can pick swords and archery, darkness and ice, etc.

    The customization of this game is incredible.

    Judging by the way they fight, the faster skills are auto attack. Like rapid weak ranged attacks and melee combo's. But the bigger things like charged attack and things that have cast times are single use, like any other skill.

    I could be wrong, just trying to infer.

    Thats what I thought as well. Does anyone know how the pre order works? Like how are you guaranteed an open beta spot O.o

    Heard a lot of bad things from 'beta testers'. Waiting until after it comes out to see.

    Been in CB since November of last year,I could hardly run it actually I Could run it fine with 3d something on low but it looked like a 2 year old fingerpainting.
    It's not room based or like guild wars either. >.< It's like CoH Enviroments but much smaller, well the starting area was.

    No, it's not more open then CoH.Atleast thats what I think. I don't know it just felt alot smaller.

    I could have spent hours on the customization part of this game, alone.

    I got friends over to my house just to make a superhero, it was that much fun.

    When i got inside the game it ran really poorly, and my computer isn't that bad.

    I adjusted the settings to no avail, but couldn't really do anything because it was so slow and choppy.

    I'll look forward to trying it again though.
