Something like... You spawn next to a base camp as a random chaacter. a giant voice fromt he sky orders you to charge across the land with a dozen other players who all look exactly like you. You encounter an enemy force. You manage to live. but many of your comrades die. You are now ordered to charge headlong into the enemy base. You get killed during the assault. Alternate paths include being ordered to do nothing allowing you to stand in place for hours waiting for action. Or better yet, spawning as the Peon class at which point you start en endless fetch quest for gold in a small mine 20 feet from your start location. FUN! I thought the game played different.

Wait, what does "objective" mean again? Rob As an objective observer, I can definitely agree that both WoW and CoH are horrible.

Wait, what does “objective” mean again?

The main reasons I dislike CoH are as follows which if you go through the post above are the bad points you mentioned about WoW yet you love CoH. 1) Grinding 2) Lag 3) All zones are occupied by idiotic players 4) The UI. 5) The awful awful audio 5)Areas are very hard to move around in due to sameness all over 6) The horrible tooltip and help systems Can someone who is objective look at both our posts and confirm to me this makes no sense. PS - See Ismails comment on girls. There is an insane percentage of female players on WoW I disagree with alot of the stuff above

" So the game you're criticizing... the combat works like that of a game you like. So why are you criticizing the combat system? There are plenty of girls playing WoW. You said it yourself, 6 million subscribers. I know at least Kara Krahulik is playing :) Grinding again: You're the one who started a new game... so this is what you were going to get. Otherwise if a particular class had a more "interesting" start why would anyone play anything else from first blush? These comments are just meant as food for thought. If they get obnoxious feel free to tell me. :) I won't comment on EVERY entry anyway, I mean, you're playing for a month. “The ironic part is, once I figured out the combat system, I briefly thought I was playing my empathy Defender from CoH. ”
