So am I the only one that felt joy any time my nemesis killed some hot-dogging tank? No one ever defended against knockups and the gravitational pull downward that followed (except me of course:smug:)

Super Strength yeah? It honestly was the standby for most of my Nemeses too.

Less hilarious when they go "gently caress this poo poo I'm out for the next Alert Nemesis while I can still grab it," leaving maybe three or even four people that can't take those lumps to tank, but still.

sadly unfunny

I played a poo poo ton of this game but it really made me appreciate the value of defined class roles

I think the last build I did was probably my opus. It was a Str/Ego/Dex PFF/Claws tank where I went all in on Str . Couldn't get moved, and all I had to do was full charge two attacks one after the other. It had an easy flow and looked cool. Perfect for tanking a Strength Nemesis too.

I liked this game. If it got all the attention and resources WoW gets I'd be happy as a pig in poo poo

edit: wait what am I thinking? they still have a loving anchorman questline bleh

Hey guess what! This game is apparently still online! Somehow. Also there's a free Freeform character slot in the in-game shop until the 17th for the zero people who still play this. There hasn't been a post in five months, that tells you how active things are, but maybe someone still has this thread in their bookmarks or something and was waiting for an excuse to replay a dead MMO. :effort:

It's good that CO is still going. It'll be the saddest consolation prize in the event that CoH shoots itself in the foot and gets shut down.

My reaction was How the gently caress does this thread have a new post, let alone three new posts?!

It's so weird because for no reason at all I looked up this game just this morning to see if it was still running.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

free Freeform slot is worth grabbing if you have any interest in CO, or any interest in checking it out in the future

that slot is the game. its not worth playing without one

True, but I still log into CO once every 3 months or so, just to take an occasional break from CoX.

I still say ChampO beats COH in most design respects, but it was a ghost town at its best times and there's nooooo loving way it could compete with the sheer nostalgia hit of CoH rising from the dead yeah.

I guess this game still exists? And they're giving out a freeform slot until the 30th? So yeah.

I mean I haven't played it in like three years but maybe someone was looking for an excuse to.

Was just coming here to post this. Free FreeForm slot!

(and can't post for 4 days!)

Cryptic: Hands out a premium character slot which normally sells for fifty bucks (I think) for simply logging in.

Also Cryptic: Monthly player count still goes down https://steamcharts.com/app/9880

Mind you that could just be some holdout regular not logging in yet for the month with those numbers.

Free FreeForm Slot!

If you have even the slightest bit of interest in playing this game, you'll want to log in a grab it this week(they normally go for $30). You can find it on the Bonus tab of the in-game C Store.

Anybody who has tried this game F2P but never tried a freeform character, you should definitely do this, freeform characters are very interesting :)

I wonder if you can claim this if you've already claimed one in the past.

Guess I'll find out tonight

Yes. They do this once a year or so.
