WoW copies CoX?

I think this is interesting. The context of the cost to change builds is (I gather) quite expensive but I think it's a testament to how good the dual builds system is in CoX

Very interesting but no where near as cool as the Mission Architect as a concept.

Now you know what will be in the next WoW expansion pack....


I really should do something about this signature.

Its quite common they yell 'OMG TEH COPY!' on fansites between MMO's, when another MMO happen to have the same feature. Afaik WoW announced dual build long time ago.

and tbh, dual build works better in WoW then CoH, due diversity of builds towards 'job'.

Yeah that dual- errr... 'specs' patch has been known about for a fair few months and was highlighted on the MMO sites. Mind you they charge for it!

I'm continued to be astounded with gamers addiction to WoW, I've never tried it personally as the visual style of it doesn't exactly ring my bell. The mere mention of the acronym makes me smirk.

Hey guys guys this game is [censored] but I've not tried it okay!

Dual spec's have been clamoured for for an age in World of Warcraft. If you really want to talk about WoW jumping on something that CoH/V semi-pioneered it's their Achievement system.

(Which, by the way, is implemented a lot better than the Badge system we have).

You know, I think it was named "WoW" purely for ironic reasons, because it certainly fails to provoke anything even close to a "Wow!" reaction.

I dunno, when you first do a Zul'Farrak instance, look down from the top of the zigguraut and see what awaits, my first thought was 'Wow.' And then 'Oh hell.'

WoW needs that, christ does it need that.

I'm honestly surprised that the SK/Exemp system hasn't been adopted by more games, it adds such massive flexibility to who you play with, when and how.

I haven't tried a P00 sandwich either, but something tells me I wouldn't like it.

I am more than happy to take the advice of millions of gamers who advise others WoW is a grindfest that takes up way too much of your time to do anything else. That (on top of the visual-look of the game) discounts it for me more than anything.

I said I haven't tried it Extremus, not that I hadn't read about it extensively and a lot of the critical reviews on the MMO, Slight difference. Besides... no smoke without fire 'n' all that.

Doesn't matter - if someone registered here and said that CoH was a horrible, boring monotonous game with absolutely no merit and they'd only gotten to, say, level 10 or 15 I severely doubt there'd be many people going "Whelp. He probably just read paragonwiki and didn't like the look of the content he's not done yet.".

At least that would be somewhat first hand.

With the exp rate changes and such in place now, even I'm finding it not that much of a grind doing quests and instances. You don't -have- to raid if you don't want to. Just like you don't have to PVP or do professions.

1-58 is still somewhat of a pain compared to Expansion Content, even in a fast duo.

Plauge Lands, blagh.

That may be the case, but personally I believe that WoW would not have the almost parody-worthy Infamous reputation as a time-consuming grindfest if it was just gamers that dipped their toes in it metophorically-speaking, levelling up to Lv15 before quitting to slag it off ad-infinitum.

For me personally, having read that you need to put considerable time into it to remain relevent in PvP and maintain a guild, The time involved on-top of the look of the visual-style of the thing, I'll happily admit I'm not interested. I don't need to try it to assertain whether I'd enjoy it or not.

Still, If you do, If anyone does, has the time and likes what they see in-game... great! - enjoy!.

Top Ten World Raid Guild =/= Guild.

They're no different to Supergroups.

And what about the level pact? WoW was earlier with that, OMG COH COPIED WOW!!!! DOOOM I SAY!!.. And they copied superspeed from FWO, they had superhuman running before CoH was even launched

WoW in my experience, got more and more boring the higher you got. Specialy when naxx and alike came:

Oh joy oh joy!! we can spam 1234 for the next 20 minutes on a mob with 574839574985734 HP! So cool!! Man that was boring.

Tank and Spank is indeed dull (hey it's what the majority of encounters in CoH are), but come on - the dance with Heigan? Things like that could do with more emulation from other games.

But... but... but skinning beast corpses and collecting herbs and flowers is fun (and lucrative, although my undead herbalist feels... weird )

Gathering is fine, and a great source of income is having two gathering professions, Mining is a definate cert (Being used in three professions) and Herbalism is used in two. Leatherworking is the main for Skinners, but a few other professions need Leather as well, and you can level it easily plus get a crit strike bonus.
