1. It launched with PvP and battlegrounds.

2. Cross-classing and ability customization.

3. Superior character builder.

4. I don't need to download 5gigs of fail every time the Devs screw up (superior patcher).

5. Better graphics.

6. Travel powers at level 5!

7. Varied abilities and class specialties (not reskinned magic fireballs )

8. Less bugs than WoW on launch.

9. Stable server.

10. Devs regularly update the game, keep the player base informed and try (at most times) to decrease transparency between the players and cryptic.


It's all about perspective :D

Count your blessings because Cryptic is doing a damn fine job ;)

*blinks*

1. Unbalanced
2. Broken powers and the inability to fix your build
3. Great. Customized failure.
4. Nope just 80 every morning because the game is so horribly broken.
5. Great. Shiny failure.
6. Sweet, now we can skip content and ninja stuff too! Much improved.
7. Yes because Force Cascade isn't at all like Chest Beam.
8. Are you kidding Me?
9. Sure, but there's only 50 people to find a group with at a time.
10. This is different than WoW how?

I find your perspective is excessively biased. I don't care what you "lived" though. None of these reasons are valid as to why CO is better than WoW. Allow Me to illustrate how stupid this comparison is.

1. No customizable UI
2. Insufficient bank space
3. Unusable AH
4. Myriad of broken and unbalanced quests
5. Patches for PvP balance that don't address PvE or break it further
6. Not enough content to be able to skip anything
7. Annoying cut scenes that you can't skip after the first time
8. Stubborn developer who thinks theme is more important than convenience
9. Nothing to do at 40
10. Strange cabbage patch doll "vanity pets"

Look, we can do this all day. CO is not better than WoW. Just get over it, you're enjoying a niche MMO that's got some fun at the core but needs a ton of improvements if it's going to continue in the future. It's not better than a 5 year old behemoth that has catered to its fanbase, has a huge amount of lore and content, and provides millions of players with excellent support and service. Just stop the stupid comparisons. Blizzard's got the staff and the resources that very few others can boast.

11. Their website is stable.

I was level 28 on my upteenth character before I found a single bug in CO, which turned out to be a messed up escort mission that I had to switch instances to do. Since then I've found maybe 4 bugged missions and maybe 2 bugged powers, (and I've tried out pretty much everything). I'd really like to know where all these bugs people talk about are.

I was just amused how, in the same post, you managed to contradict yourself.

Said it before and I'll say it again; Ain't nobody forcing you to stay.

Server isnt stable imo. Everyday it seems like something is wrong with logging in and staying on. Game is horridly unbalanced and melee power set needs som serious TLC.

Good lord...

That's a pretty vehemenent defense of WoW on the Champions forums.

And how did I miss this!!
Yeah, up until TBC came out, then Blizzard just tossed lore out the window.

Just one thing to say:

Crash landed space goats.

Really?

That was awesome, go to hell :P

11 reasons why I don't give a damn whether or not CO is better.
