City of Heroes vs WoW

Julian says:
geyness. im at home to 'study' hehe
mroc says:
you still coming up this way this afternoon?
Julian says:
played CoH till 5 am lols...
Julian says:
yah, ill put them glasses in me beg
mroc says:
yay
mroc says:
and lol at CoH
mroc says:
sounds like a wow addiction
Julian says:
its gettin that way, started doing missions more like wow instances and i was puller
mroc says:
haha
Julian says:
but was reading the manual and got a bit disinterested in "blaster" class - all the diff types of blaster have virtually the same power... except mine was the gayer variety
mroc says:
owned
Julian says:
now i've got a "scrapper" which is a rogue i spose. high accuracy, -defense attacks. +defense myself with super reflexes
mroc says:
*goes to read up on CoH*
Julian says:
differences in game are kinda coo - no.1 best thing about CoH over wow and others is the charachter generater is SOOO complex. takes me like an hour each time i make a new toon cause im making hundreds off diff costumes!
Julian says:
but the power trees are distinclty less complex than wow, but the game play is simplified so you never need "heal spec druid" or something
Julian says:
and most missions are mini instances in "dungeon" style, so the maps are slightly diff each time and the difficulty is scaled both by how many peeps in your party and you can choose to increase difficulty too
mroc says:
Well wow would be more simple if you just removed the 3 hybrid classes
mroc says:
interesting
Julian says:
also there is no loot in CoH in a good and bad way.. there are "enhancements" instead, which are like the "mana ball" things you used to put on your armour and weapons in final fantasy if you've ever played that
Julian says:
but you put them on your spells/powers instead. one good thing about that means instead of going hunting for "fire res" gear with good stamina - u just put 2 slots onto the power u want to upgrade and go find those particular enhancements u need (so you could have any upgrade you wanted)
Julian says:
i upped the gfx to max cause they are a bit simplistic, then it starts to look a bit better quality - but my comp shat a brick because the viewable environment in CoH is huuuge wheras WoW they've designed it so no ones gpu gives up the good fight - so i need roughly another 512mb ram and probably motherboard/agp with more bandwidth
mroc says:
so basically half a new computer
Julian says:
yah dang it
Julian says:
i guess i can live for t he moment with "performance" graphics... if you call that living
Julian says:
hey did u see the evil easter bunny video adam sent? ROFLMAO HAHAHA! its great
mroc says:
yeah just watched it, so funny
Julian says:
i thought it was gonna be an ad or something. really well made though hehe
Julian says:
i love when he's in the lift hahaha
