Re: Information for HERO/Champions Fans About The Champions Online MMO
Hi. I am new to these boards and I thought I would make a few comments. I played Champions for quite a while and liked the system very much, I think it was 3rd edition when real life stuff happened and my friends who I used to play it with graduated high school, a few went off to college and I couldn't find another group to join since.
Anyway, my fascination with Super RPGs continued, I dabbled in a few other systems BESM, GURPS Supers, Heroes Unlimited.. I still think Champions was the best and offers the best character creation options there is.
I was pretty excited when City of Heroes launched, the first Super MMO. I was a bit disappointed in the power selection options though. Not "generic" enough. I really was hoping to have actual power creation in the game. If I want a character that has both blue fire blasts and green ice blasts, I should get it
Anyway I'm hoping Cryptic makes Champions MMO a lot more customizable and keep the COH costume creator (but continue improving it). And of course vast improvements on the travel powers system without that speed suppression they added would be really nice.
I really hope Cryptic impresses me with this one. And if the game is successful, perhaps there will be a new wave of players to the RPG and I'll find a group as well
