When I launch score.exe, the game goes to the loading screen and then crashes to desktop with no visible errors. That's it for me, I guess.
You have to use the tequila executable.
It should be in your coh folder.
Dont bother with trying to login right now, the servers are exploding. This is just a test anyway. Trying to find people to form a guild later on.
As for the gameplay, nope. not wow at all.
- You play a hero/villain in a semi open world with tons of huge areas. You go wherever you want and do whatever you want. There are pvp areas and they have their own rewards, like especial limited usage skills. You do quests in those areas and if you run into enemies, well, defend yourself.
- There are no classes really, your character is entirely customizable and can pretty much be anything you want. You pick an archetype, then two powersets from a fairly big number, then you customize your character to look like whatever kind of clown you are into. You can even customize the sfx of your skills.
- The game has an aligment system, you can be hero, villain, rogue or vigilante. You get access to some different areas depending on that, and some of the same. There are places where you can be social, like clubs and shit, they also have minigames with rewards.
- You can build your own guild base, huge places where you can store shit, and get gear/buffs.
- Every skill you have has slots, how many slots depends on your choices at level up. Each slot can be used up with an augment that will increase an aspect of said skill. There are also craftable augments that increase many parts of the skill in smaller increments, or grant unique effects, and also sets, by having several of those aguments you will get special effects. There are also raid augments which are really strong.
- Past cap there are other ways to make your character better, like new superpowers and shit you can get.
- Consumables cannot be stored infinitely, you have like 16 slots, so in any given adventure you can be shit out of luck if you use them all and arent finished, which makes for an interesting way of preparing yourself. These consumables can be bought in lesser versions, dropped in average versions or gotten in the stronger versions through some mechanics i never looked into. Meaning what consumables you have at any given time is kinda up to luck and what you decided to keep and use. Its a great mechanic that gives weight to your decisions on how to tackle enemies.
Overall is one of those unique games with great mechanics that everyone that loves rpgs should play at least once to understand them. Other than that the community is nice, people actually talk instead of farming like retards, and the game accomodates for a more relaxed gameplay.
