Ok played my 3 days and felt that while it wasnt CoH it was worthy of exploring further. Bought and have been having a blast. Did my first Polaris tonight and it took about 3 tries but we got it done.
Joined the dragons playing as Mikyo Mikkaku Shinichi. Im usually on the refugees channel.
One thing I wanted to point out, yes we were spoiled with the character customization. In that regard CoX was exceptional. The customization ins TSW is not bad but you cant compare it to CoH, actually nothing really does.
Where TSW really shines is in the story. The writing is superb. Not taking anything away from CoH but TSW shines in this regard. As we all know it is the story that drives the game(at least for me). Without a good story it just becomes farming and grinding. I havent encountered that yet on TSW, not saying I wont, but I havent faced it yet.
The puzzles actually force you to think and there is something to be said about not being so overpowered that you can walk through any zone with impunity. In TSW you must constantly be aware of your surroundings no matter where you are because if you get swarmed enough...well there is always an anima well.
Its a game worth playing. I havent been on COH much these days because on many levels its too painful to play knowing that I wont have any CoX in the future. So instead I will go and annihilate monsters in the TSW.
Hope to see most of you there.
