WoW vs CoX RP

What can I say, I like to read and take it fairly seriously. Heck, even stories done in complete fun with massive amounts of 'this would never happen' material does so in a mannor that is even slightly beleivable or funny. _nelz0r struck as one and/or the other. The other stories... ... ... blah...

You're trying to find logic in something that, realisitically, doesn't require it. This is meant as a fun joust at the WoW players and the game in general.

Honestly if someone were to balance the two out there'd be some noticed differences between the two games that just can't be balanced. In example there are certain aspects to some of our melee sets that have the kind of defenses that would shut down quite a few of the WoW character types, and vice versa. Overall a true "descriptive balance" isn't going to happen so just take the story for its fun worth.

Reasons for villains to fight:
All the greedy villains must fight since if WoW conquer us, paper money stop having value.
All those with a vendetta against one group won't want WoW to eliminate that group. No KS. =P
All those who want to be the strongest/scariest will try the new challenge to prove there might.
All the villains with a loved one will want to protect him/her.
etc.

And the two most important: I might be a villain , but it's still my world and i'll make sure it's stay like it is.
All those who sworn allegience to Lord Recluse (wich should be at least half) will fight cause Recluse ain't sharing.



Now can we get back to receiving the 3th part or a new story from someone else. =D

*Insert shrug here*

I'm a critic... and I'm criticizing what has been writen.

Even some of the most unrealistic things I've read held some form of logic.

I have no problem with _nelz0r's, I'm waiting for the third part.

I only had minor questions concerning them...


It's just the other two things that were posted that hit my irk buttons. Because unlike _nelz0r's, they didn't strike as good ole entertaining reading, they struck more as '"you suck" in long form.

I play and enjoy playing both games. I like to read.... Fanfictions provide even more reading when it's not one of my books. I've seen several fanfiction crossover fights between rival games writen by writers that favor one over the other. I've seen them writen for the sake of humor and they were good. They never came gave off that 'you suck' vibe...

But meh.... I will say no more. This is driving the irritation up and if it ends up too high I'm gonna miss seeing what _nelz0r does next.

This thread was ruined it was suppose to be a story now stupid numbers I see enough of this in game, and it would have been better of the original writer finished it not someone else taking credit for what they started.

Hmm..

nelz0r i think a little excitment and story-time might make them shoosh for a day or two more

If you up the CoX charactrers to WoW levels or lower WoW characters to fall in line with CoX then I think most CoX characters would destroy their WoW counterparts whether that is through buffs/debuffs or sheer firepower.

This is probably the most important thing that needs to be realized.

I WANT TEH PART 3 NOWZERS!!!!111ONEONEONE


Paragon Studios, thanks for all you've done. You've made this a great game, and a great community. I see this as six years well-spent. NCSoft, I'm seriously disappointed in you. This is not how you get or keep customers.

it seems as if part 3 and nelzor got zapped into oblivion?


 

Posted

Methinks that nelzor forgot, or simply doesnt care anymore. and while Nelzor's creations are his own please be aware that the other two accounts in this thread were originally posted in a thread titled "what would happen if..." in the scrapper forums.

I asked the rhetorical question of the scrapper community what they thought would happen if the games collided AND purely for the sake of argument, that the differences in HP,MP/END, and damage systems were equalized for the top level of each game. The varied responses came partly in mini-stories, and partly in arguments about facts which in turn gave way to the storytellers for boredom of the arguments. All in all, there were some fun stories woven, and If I ever decide to I might make one myself.

A matter of opinion at best. Personally I like CoH/V better.

Super Reflexes, Elec Armor, most VEATs and I think Ice Armor have slow resist. Not to mention all players have access to to travel powers that go far faster than anything in WoW, and one (Teleport) is completely unaffected by slows.
Willpower, Dark Armor and VEATs have fear protection, everyone else can use breakfrees or mez protection buffs from support classes.
'stick' I think refers to immobilise, which all melee sets have protection from and everyone can get in combat jumping.

Every ranged class in CoH/V has at least one mez, and a lot of the debuff sets have -heal debuffs. As for stuns, again breakfrees or support class mez prot buffs. Or just don't get hit by the stuns in the first place with -tohit debuffs or +def buffs.

Just because it doesn't have millions of people like WoW does, does not make it dead. WoW is the outsider, not the rule.

Oddly, in my almost two years of playing I've never had a single tell of that kind. Incidentally in WoW I got them regularly, even on the Tauren.

Also as a general point, all CoH/V characters can be more stealthy than the average rogue or catform druid by taking the concealment pool, and all can have equivalent or better healing powers than most WoW 'healers' by taking the medicine pool. Not to mention, almost all our powers are uninterruptable and don't require us to stand still for 3 seconds or more watching a little bar get pushed back every time we get hit. Also, almost every buff or debuff power in CoH/V stacks.

Pretty much the only advantage WoW has in a direct fight is the higher level cap and the bigger numbers than go with it. In terms of game mechanics, CoH/V is far superior. As a single example: WoW mezzes vs CoH/V mezzes. WoW ones typically last ten, maybe 20 seconds at most and break if the victim is attacked. CoH/V style holds last up to 40+ seconds and render the victim completely vulnerable and unable to act for that whole time.

*points to the two above posts*

Yeah see thats the sort of thing that was ruining the thread previously...and for the sake of writing stories, we arent necessarily going by hard data and numbers. IF we did then of course WoW would win due to the entirely different systems the games use, but for RP and storywriting's sake we equalize the two games to a certain extent.

You guys killed one of my favorite threads


Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?

Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?
