I was interested before. I am more interested now. Good one. Hope is not a strategy |

Sounds good, kinda like CoX enchancements but this time it wont be silly non game "coins " but actual items that fit your story/progress. |

So long it doesnt end in my epics > your epics and total irrelevant loots like a sword wielding super villian dropping a gun im open for everything |

Looks great to me! |

I just hope they do loot pick up like CoH as it just appears in your pack or whatever. I have wasted too much time in other games looking at loot and deciding what to take. I really love the way CoH does it. |

What makes a good MMO? Good quality, good customer service, good business model, good fun. |
This sounds really fun to me. The more I learn about this game, the more I like it. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I also like the idea that getting gear will be part of game play: either earning loot by defeating baddies, or buying stuff at an auction house, with in-game currency. I really don't like other models that just want me to fork over real cash for a virtual item that I'm going to need to be useful, especially when I don't really own the item I just "bought." This reminds me of good old-fashioned gaming for fun and getting rewards along the way: a hundred times better than paying someone real cash for a random chance of getting loot too, like in the StarWars game. |

Yep it looks good. I think the important thing is that they are putting in the basic elements for a good economy at launch. (aka Dana O'Shea) |

I really am getting excited about this game! For the most part, I've been trying to keep my distance, in case I get disappointed. These days, I don't know if my computer can run the games, and whatnot. However, I can't help but be excited. I hope I get to play this game! And by the way, it was a well-written article. Really got me even more excited about the game than I was before! I'll have to blame YOU if I can't play it! *laughs* What Happened With SWG Went Down YEARS AGO! Please Try To Stop Whining About It In Every Thread I Read. Mourn It, And Finally MOVE ON With Your Lives! Thanks A Heap. |

Excellent article. I especially like the idea of being able to "turn off" an effect but keep the powers/bonuses it gives as if your character just has those powers naturally. Great idea. Looking forward to seeing more. |

I just saw new gameplay footage on G4tv's MMO report, and Champions is looking 100% better than it did before, graphically. I had been really turned off by the cel-shading, but it looks very toned down now, and my reservations about this game have been eliminated. Can't wait for July 14! |

The cell shading is a toggle I believe. Hope is not a strategy |
