Thus far, having rolled five characters<\/p>\n

LIKES:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I like the “comic book\/cartoon” look. So sue me.<\/li>\n
  2. I like the ability to have different default poses.<\/li>\n
  3. I like that the main display shows what level you are<\/em>. Genius!<\/li>\n
  4. In answer to a couple of common criticisms, I did not feel that my powers were repetitive (vs., say, a low level CoX character), nor that the sharded zones were underpopulated.<\/li>\n
  5. Gameplay was very similar to CoX. Well, maybe even more similar (in my limited MMO experience) to LotRO.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    DISLIKES:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The character design light source shines down on the chest awfully hard, making viewing of detail and true color difficult.<\/li>\n
    2. 8 alts? 8 freaking alts? Very disappointing.<\/li>\n
    3. Shards\/instances aren’t in numeric order, and aren’t consistently ordered in any fashion between two machines. So, “Okay, let’s choose shard 145” means the other person’s going to be doing some searching around.<\/li>\n
    4. Running animation (male) is awful<\/em>. The lumbering gait resembles that of the Huge figure in CoX. Bleah.<\/li>\n
    5. Looting. <\/li>\n
    6. Waiting for things to repop in non-instanced missions.<\/li>\n
    7. Equpping stuff – very LotROesque, slotting various types of gear into different types of roles. I’m sure it will eventually all come automatically, but at the moment it’s sort of shrug and drag it. How different attributes affect different things is purely intuitive to me at the moment, and I’m sure I’m not maximiizing the potential of the character.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Overall: I like, though there are things I don’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
