Symbiotic Hat Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I'm looking for a Champions Online beta key. I was on vacation when the mass giveaway went down a couple weeks ago. If anyone has a unused key, or even a key that they've already used and don't play, I'd be much appreciative if they'd send it to me. I hate paying for an MMO type game without being able to try it out first. If you don't like it your stuck with a $50 coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minifig Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Sorry Jeavis, I don't have a key to give you yet. I'll keep you posted if I can though. I'm a life-time suber, so I may get some keys early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbiotic Hat Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well since you loved it enough to get the lifetime sub. What are your overall impressions of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic Book Guy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Didn't think you'd need a key for the Open Beta. Wonder if I can get into the OB as I was just in the CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a key for the open beta. Seems like a closed beta if you need a key but hey, what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic Book Guy Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Fileplanet seems to be the only ones giving out keys, and only if you're a paying member, which is ****ing stupid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted August 18, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted August 18, 2009 Has to be the fastest thing I've installed and then deleted, what a PoS. 2GB download for this crap, I want my bandwidth back :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that the starting area is terrible but it gets much better once you pass lvl 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted August 18, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted August 18, 2009 I didnt even get into the game, it decided it needed patching, even though I downloaded the full new client from Bileplanet as per the games website instructions, and after waiting for 2hrs for it to try and download a 3GB patch and receiving 24MB of it (on a 20Mb connection) I gave up and deleted it. Plus it was moaning about not supporting win7. If I had known it was this rap I would have gladly given you my key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbiotic Hat Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks everyone, but I managed to get a key from a German site. I haven't gotten to play yet but I'm sure this weekend I'll have plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I played it last night, finally.. and I must say its pretty horrible. I uninstalled it Just not my cup of tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic Book Guy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Seems a lot of you are just as bad as the members of OnRPG, they install something, play a few minutes, and then uninstall it. The starting area needs to be fixed, however once you get past that part of the game it becomes amazing. Far better than CoX. However, I just wish they would have put the ability to play as villians within the game, not just heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game isn't interesting in the first place that's a problem. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I agree. Its like music, the first 30 secs will make you listen to the entire track or skip to the next song. At least for me :p Btw when do you get the ability to fly around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Don't blame gamers for not giving certain game a reasonable amount of their time, blame the games for having boring gameplay mechanics. There's something wrong when you have to spend hours just to 'like' the game. I can't remember the last time I played a truly boring game, continued to play it for hours and then suddenly enjoyed it.

Comic Book Guy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Btw when do you get the ability to fly around? It's between level 7 - 9 that you can buy the ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minifig Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Why on earth would you buy a lifetime sub to an unreleased game? I've been playing since July. Closed beta. Well since you loved it enough to get the lifetime sub. What are your overall impressions of it? I absolutely love it. Once you get past the first initial stages (which I don't think Smeltn did ...) and play it with a group of friends, it's LOADS of fun. The PVP is a blast.

Minifig Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 hey Andrew-DB if I liked COX and Wow would you think I would enjoy this game? You will LOVE it. Don't bother with a file planet key .. you'll just be wasting your money. The Open Beta ends the end of this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
