I’ve discussed the sci-fi/fantasy/post-apocalypse/horror game Numenera, the origin of the Powered by the Apocalypse engine, Apocalypse World, as well as the natural fantasy RPG from Japan, Ryuutama. Lately I have been thinking a lot about games that I want to play but haven’t yet. Whether you call them tabletop RPGs, TTRPGs, pen-and-paper RPGs, or just D&D because that’s the only one you ever play, Tabletop Tuesday is a great way to see my thoughts on the hobby. This is simply an opportunity for me to talk about a different branch of gaming, one that has been near and dear to my heart for some time. (It's fine for me because I don't do PvP anyways.Hello, adventurers, and welcome to another edition of Tabletop Tuesday that does not, in fact, fall on a Tuesday! If you’re unfamiliar with this segment here on Adventure Rules, worry not – it’s a fairly easy one to grasp. There's options (FFA PvP zones, Faction-based PvP zones, Arena matches) unfortunately, like I said, PvP isn't very well balanced. Okay PvP kinda sucks, it's not very well balanced, there doesn't seem to be a very heavy PvP following in CoH/V. (some you would have to be either very bored, very stubborn or very stupid to try though ) ) While some will do it better than others, *ANY* build *CAN* solo PvE.
If you're looking for PvE, the game is great for it. (CoH in general doesn't seem to have that many, but that could be because it's not the uber popular MMO) Of the high-pop servers Virtue seems to have a fairly low number of them. The lower population servers have less of them. Like all MMOs, unfortunately CoH has it's share of elitist "veterans", who are more than happy to berate someone for not playing their character right. This does mean there is a bit of a steep learning curve at times. It is true that certain archtypes/power sets are more suited for teaming, more useful in teams, or just much better suited for teaming (with inexperienced players), a team that knows what they are doing can make anything work. Unlike most MMOs, CoH does not have "required" classes for teaming. It really shines when you're running with a good team though. And if you're playing solo, it's not that great, still not horrible though.
If you're looking for heavy character customization, interesting power sets and capabilities in an ever expanding world (that you don't have to buy the new expansions to get access to the next content), you might like it.ĬoH starts a little slow, honestly, like all MMOs. If you're looking for spawn camping, grinding for gear, sitting in one spot killing the same thing over and over again to get your preciously small amount of XP. However for the last several months my internet has been unreliable, so I haven't even bothered trying to play (it will flake in and out, lag up a lot, boot me a lot.) Well, way back when I had reliable internet.
