i know NUSSING about how most travel powers are flinchy and not a pain to use properly.
and i also know NUSSING on how power tool tips are so complex to understand at first glance you need to digest them like a legal document
AND i know nussing on how max level costume edits cost a mint for even minor changes.
I KNOW NUSSING, I SEE NUSSING!
Without fear of reprisal from anyone that matters I say: Boo CO. It just ain't good.

I'm not in the Champions Online beta, so I'll outright say that if Marvel Universe Online was dropped for being unable to compete with the current MMO market, then Champions Online probably won't be an incredible improvement. Reasoning: Spidey fixes everything.

Additionally, lest we forget, Bill Roper from that fantastic game known as Hellgate London is also on the CO staff.

Hey, Hellgate: London is a pretty decent game. It had a really horrible start, and was pushed out before it was ready. But it is a good bit of fun. There's a serious lack of post apocalyptic MMOs out there you know. Of course, Hellgate was sort of.. MMO lite. You could chat and team up with other people, but there really wasn't much reason to.
Good news though FireWyvern. There is a single player version included with the game. Same basic storyline, but you don't get the Stonehenge expansion stuff. But you can still play. You don't get some of the improvements they made (skill balancing, mail system, that sort of thing) but it still works fine. And assuming you can find a copy somewhere, people will probably practically give it away.

Bestest news of the week! 
I started checking a bit on ebay and i'm wondering...

Would that have the single-player version in it? Some advertise that the box is still sealed.

Then please explain what you meant and what the proper "context" was. Because whatever you said made no sense to any of us. It looked like you were claiming that while CO only gets 7 powers, CoH only gets 10.

Yup, it does. The multiplayer and single player are the same game. It uses the same client and all that, just when you load up the game you have the choice of playing single player offline or multiplayer online. Of course, now that the servers are shut down, you really don't have the option for multiplayer anymore :P
Ah well, maybe someday. Hanbitsoft, the new owners of the IP and game are going to be adding more to the game and putting the servers back up... in Asia. Bandai has the rights for the North American/European multiplayer release still. Supposedly Hanbitsoft wants to release again in those areas, but they have to work out the legal details still.
It should be noted though that Single and Multiplayer characters are separate. If you start in single player you can't bring a character from there to the online version, if and when it ever is released again.

Alright fine, I'll keep this short and sweet: I was talking about the power trays only being able to hold 10 powers at a time in CoH.
I was just saying that it might be the case in CO as well.
It would be easy for someone new to CoH look at the first tray they get and say "oh we only get 10 powers? lame" and quit.
Of course, I cannot confirm or deny anything of that nature.

Yay, thanks a lot NekoAli.
The multiplayer thingies aren't really important for me. I just want to see all the lore and if there's an ending. I really want to know more about the Truths and all that stuff. =)

That's not quite true, the CoX and infact almost all MMOs i know have a spinner bar on their trays, fact CoX's has an arrow to easily set up another, and control and alt pop one up temporally; of course this isn't true with all MMOs mostly they do that in options or a right click. with CO there is no current option to add another bar, everyone has tried, extensively.
Point being unless CO changes that idea, one can't use all of their powers to their fullest and that's never fun.

Well Pinny, I CAN CONFIRM, 7 powers, thats it.
They can pull my beta, I dont care, Its been uninstalled for ages now, cuz it sucks. When you tried offer intelligent & constructive feedback, they ban you from boards, so I didnt even bother.

heh. Sadly, I can't tell you about the ending. I'm not even sure if the game has a proper ending, since they planned to expand on it over time. But I never got a character all the way to the end, partly because of the whole having to create different characters of single/multiplayer. And partly because I am a terrible altoholic in all games. I will say I did always find it fun to play. Not very deep, but hey... you get to shoot zombies and demons in the head with high powered weapons. This is never a bad thing

I am pretty sure you got more then 7 powers. Now the bar has only 7 but that doesn't mean you can't switch between different bars. Like COX has 10 powers per bar but you can add more.
Sure it's different and I don't like it too much, but it's nothing to get so negative over.

I try to, i like their concepts and animations truthfully, and i love to toss out a fist, fire, ice, bullet, etc salad, but the current state is that you don't even get to use all your favorite powers, just the top 7.

Simply put, it's not the same case. You can't have multiple bars like you can in CoX.
Either way while I agree that people maybe knocking it, having not tried much or seen much for that matter, that could develop a liking to it. It's too soon to judge. For the most part we know character customization is superior to CoX but I've already stated why I do not like the way it's being handled and that's because it is a multiplatform which is questionable already. It's new territory for MMOs so call me skeptical.

Just a little something...but couldn't it be that they did it to favor making alts?
In CoH, you're forced to make alt if you want to test a fire hero after playing your ice one. If CO allow full customization and mix-matching of powers, wouldn't give as much powers as you want eliminate the use of alts?
Sure a few people would still make them for RP, names and costumes....but all the "pure gamers" would make 2-3 max then be done with it...

No way, they did it because a keyboard is more versatile than a controller. Simple as that and it doesn't take a person in beta to know that.
I cannot confirm or deny that, there, is an awesome post.
