Questions have been sent by players. Questions have been answered by the devs themselves. The latest update on Champions Online‘s Ask Cryptic covers concerns regarding hero powers, costumes, and in-game content.

Shofu was curious as to how powers can affect hero “archetypes” in the game. Will specific powers have more effect with certain pre-set character builds? According to Arkayne, “archetype” abilities reveal just what the devs are aiming at. Some powers will benefit from it, some won’t.

Furthermore, players have the option of minimizing or maximizing their powers early on the game. This will help them get used to the game’s system. The devs will be employing power advantages and limitations once players get used to the MMO.

As for the costumes, expect a lot of customization when the costume pieces are rolled out. Some of the notable items are beast-men heads (from cats to wolves), insect heads with varying mandibles and antennae, and other monstrous head pieces.

Also, players will be able to maximize their characters in terms of looks. Avatars can have a “chunky” look but no so much like that of the Blob.

Lastly, Cryptic Studios is looking at putting together elements from the game and the official website. They plan to let players who show off everything they have in the game through the website. Various “in-game” resources such as character pages, superteams, and game info are being looked at by the developers.
