No it doesn't.

You are right, they are the same. One focuses on costumes and body, while the other focuses on body and faces. The faces in CoH are quite static even with the sliders.

Aion is a newer game and has more then customization going for it. It's gameplay will rival WoW's, L2, FFXI, EQ2, AoC, ect... But not at the cost of great character creation. Conan told us we'd have super character customization, but Aion has better, at least for females...

A million games? Not exactly I can think of a few that have facial sliders:

Ryzom: Hands down the best character creation, faces and bodies' sliders have drastic effect.

Vanguard: Very good when they had the facial sliders.

AoC: Sliders only do so much.

EQ2: You hardly notice a difference whatever you do.

CoH: Again not much of a difference.

WoW, L2, FFXI: You pick a face, no sliders.

Hmm what am I missing?

I never mentioned gameplay, i don't care about that, that wasn't the point of my post.

And yes it was a saying, i didn't mean a million games.

ryzom, i'll agree, great customization

Vanguard, facial sliders, body piece sliders, tons more races though

AoC you  do get some nice alteration of your characters, but ill agree there.

EQ2, but beyond just facial customization, theres a wider variety of races

CoH, tons difference.  Facial customization has sliders, and a wide variety of faces and masks.  On par? not quite.  But then you get costumes. More then body, your character created in coh is everything, his hat, his shirt, his pants, his shoulders.  It's all created and styled by you.  Which is why you very rarely ever see 2 heroes/villains who look exactly the same.

WoW l2 FFXI, i agree.

By saying a million other games did it, i meant and which is obvious. "It's nothing special that stands above the crowd".  And it's not,

CoHs is.  You can say it has good customization i don't mind i won't argue, just don't say its close to coh. because its not.

While there isn't a lot of games out there to say are super better.  you still just can't say aion is doing anything worth mentioning in a way to hype the game.  Talk about it's great gameplay, it's flying, it's etc. I don't know.

Unlike you guys, i've played more then asian mmos, so sliders aren't something revolutionary.

Reminder, in Aion you can use a crapload of dyes to color your armor parts, in Aion you can use the looks of an armor and add the stats of another armor, if you end up looking like someone else, it's cause you wanted to do so, and even wanting, you'd have a hard time with all the sliders in the character customization tool. CoX system and Vanguard's are way weaker than Aion's, im 100% sure of that.

My first MMORPG wasn't Asian so I do not understand why you want to paint with broad brush strokes.

With NCSOFT acquiring the CoX from Cryptic it isn't far fetched to believe they can come close with Aion in character customization.  I strongly disagree with your assertion that it isn't close because based on the footage shown that is all over the internet from Korean beta testers it is very convincing.

No No No ! ! !, this is what i Hate! AoC Failed, more people where coming to us, now Warhammer Fails again, and player come also to us. Please children stay with your Game if you only have Bad Things to say? become Mature.

With people like Dawn playing (who say an unreleased game has "Failed" and all the Warhammer people are coming to Aion to say "Bad Things") I don't know if this game will be worth it.
