Chronomancer delivers a State of the Game letter on the official Champions Online website.

The State of the Game address goes into detail on some changes made to the game due to player input, such as a streamlining of the character creation system, and possibly allowing for players to skip the tutorial once completed.

Making Your New Character’s Easier to Make

Both the character and costume creation systems in Champions Online are incredibly flexible and powerful. This has many positive effects for our players, but also presents some problems because of the complexity of the systems. We’ve been banging away at this issue for the past couple of weeks and are currently in the process of simplifying the character creation flow without losing any of the power behind the system. We should start seeing the first stages of this (power set selection) in beta next week.
