Okay I got the setup downloaded in like 6 minutes with another downloader while the 25 hour one was sitting around 90%. Just patching and I should be trying this out soon.

Hey, don't forget to post some screencaps people!

Also, i must say i really like the "penalty system" for death... you have 5 stars below you character's portrait. everytime you die, you loose one. If you have 2 yoru character works at 100%, below that he works with penalties, and above that you get perment bonus untill you loose it. It takes a LONG time to get a star back, so you need to be carefull, while at the same time you get reward to perform well

Okay, slight dilemma. Came up with a design, can't think of an archetype I want to use.

Name is gonna be either Lagann or Henshin, not sure yet.

Suggestions?

Use fire, fire and more fire.

I'll post YOUR screencaps.... HAH!

Okay I finally managed to patch and get online. Beware the fiery Hobo!

A shitty picture, but Lagann (who uses Archery because fuck everything you guys say <3 ) ran into Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright the other day.

OK WOWWWWW

I finally got to download the patch. So I had tinkered with the free trial of CO twice before and found it okay, but none too impressive, Now it's just plain HORRIBLE!

Back before it went free, There were these things called "Frameworks" which were what passes for Archetypes now. And at the bottom was the custom Framework where you'd pick and choose based upon certain fairly reasonable parameters.
But there were far more frameworks. For some dumb-ass reason(money) they cut the number of powers in half and left me with the most generic(and limited) things in their list.

There was once a power framework called "supernatural" It was a mixture of chain attacks, claw attacks and spooky magics. When I came back the second time, they were nice enough to split this crazy-varied framework into two thematically different ones. Supernatural: Chains & Supernatural:Beast and because they had the same source, if you were in one framework, you could still take powers from it's Sister set. the "Martial arts" Framework worked the same way, allowing you to take any of the other "Martial Arts" powers which included Single Blade, dual Blades, and Fighting Claws. I also think some others were similar but can't remember which ones

When I heard about the archetypes I just assumed they took out the custom framework or maybe had Archetypes with focused power choice parameters but the option to vary. The first was cool with me because of the aforementioned linked frameworks, the latter I viewed as an actually superior character creation system. But this is WAYYYY worse. There aren't even linked frameworks to make slightly different characters. And Holy shit did they jack up their costume creator. No thanks, sorry to ruin everyone's fun by coming in and talking shit, but since I was chatting it up with Krylo here about it, I figure'd I'd give my final opinion after giving it a look.I'm sticking with my CoH.

Still enjoying this. Can't really explain why, but I am. Lagann ended up breezing past Mister Vanilla Milkshake, mostly because I made a lot of stupid choices with him. So, I ended up dropping MVM, and created another character. Interestingly enough, yet another faceless creature in a suit. That's right...

FOUND YOU.

He's sort of friendly, I guess?

He doesn't like it when you mention that...

He's also disturbingly shy.

Looks like he's gone hunting...

Yes, I know, I'm entirely unoriginal. But seeing as pretty much EVERY THIRD CHARACTER is an already established character, I figured I could do someone a little more disturbing.
