No, that's what it used to say on Fileplanet too.

Still messing with different powersets.

Electricity and Fire are very overpowered at the moment, Shockstorm with the toggle is like having a genocide button. Melée based sets really suffer in MilCity unless you play defensively, which makes it seem even more out of balance.

Oh and I love that if you invoke Earth Flight in midair you fly on clouds.

My first toon:




This game seems like a worthy follow up to City of Heroes, but I still think it has a lot of pitfalls. It's nice to see that they've picked up on some of Warhammer's better concepts and implemented them into their game. Public questing, instance queues.. but the lack of a large persistent world sorta kills it for me. I am enjoying it though, and their subscription model (which is offering packages if I remember correctly, including six to twelve month packages and lifetime subs) is better than most. I still take up issue with the cost of these games when you have to pay in monthly installments on top of it though; the clients should be free!

Still.. I might be tempted into a six month sub.. just to keep playing with the character creation :P

Also: I take back what I said about respec. I'm dumb.

I created another character yesterday this time focussing on double sword melee...
Very nice melee combat that seems to be fairly powerful.
I took the teleportation travel power! It's very fast since you can keep spamming it and you're able just to teleport out of hot situations....

It's also pretty funny with what people come up with.. I've seen Samus Aran running around, the Tick and these guys:

I won't pre-order. I don't want to pay $50 for a game and $60+ for a sub.

I'm loving how you can respec everything, but you can not respec your basic stats, correct (strength, dex, etc)? You can even create new costumes for your character and share them with your friends. I think that's a simply terrific feature. I imagine within a week of this game going live there will be costume websites out there :)

So if I understood right from what Grift said I can share my characters costumes with using images? It's accessible from the tailor menu and then save and load I think.

If someone wants to try if it works here is mine:



I am not sure if using tinypic will make it not to work since it renames the file. I'll post the second character when I am happy how she looks. Now it's kinda like random + a bit tweaking.

I tried the game with controller too and while its surprisingly good there is some strange issues. Like if there is 2 items next to each other I can't lift it with controller. Because the confirmation "key" is digital pad up and in this situation it just keeps selecting what to pick up. I didn't really try but seems like I can't access any of the menus with the controller either. Then again I sit so close to keyboard I can just use it quickly when needed.

Incorrect, you can only respec your last ten levels at the moment, however if you are under level ten you can also choose to redo your basic stats as well.

I would guess that the full respec will be one of the microtransactions that they offer when the game goes live, along with renames.

Ew. That's horrible. That's easily no better than Scamco or EA selling unlockable items on the XBL Marketplace. It's borderline pathetic.

That is just my speculation. Mind you it isn't much different from the current policy of charging for server transfers etc. in other MMOs.

Yeah controller support isn't 100% yet but the game plays great with one otherwise.

Yea.. but monetizing make believe shit when you're already charging a monthly fee is pretty damn awful regardless.

I have to give Cryptic a lot of credit for the LOST references in this game :P

The TV station mission in Millenium City has a familiar tone to it as well.

I guess the parodies make sense as Champions was originally conceived to parody (and avoid the licensing costs) of Marvel and DC.

XP rewards for quests have been dramatically reduced :(

They are up now but good lord is it a clusterfuck of epic proportions. I don't think they thought through maxing everyone to level 40 because the powerhouse is full of people speccing up and heading out with all the insane powers that are alright in a small team but in an open area like MilCity they kill playability before any mobs!!!

They re-extended the beta period until 5PM today, neat. The only problem is I sorta blew my free lvl 40. I can't respec, and if I wanted to re-roll I have to play the tediously long tutorial again.
