Champions Online News - Ask Cryptic

Posted by Keith Cross on May 19, 2008  | 1 comments in our forums

Cryptic Studios has published another edition of Ask Cryptic, where they answer community questions about their upcoming superhero MMO, Champions Online.

You ask, we answer! Thanks to Arkayne, Continuum and BraiNEateR for taking time out of their busy schedules to drop some info about characteristics, Canada, neighborhood design and the costume creator!

Will there be characteristics such as Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, etc? (Gerebrand)

Arkayne (Lead Designer): Hey Gerebrand! We plan to have characteristics in the game that represent different aspects of your character. We are still working out the details of how exactly those characteristics affect your character and by what degree, but we plan to allow players to spend points to modify those characteristics as they progress in the game – it is part of our goal for "complete customization" of characters.

Will there be bosses like Hamidon that will require a large group of heroes using specific tactics to defeat? (Lokana)

Arkayne: Yes there are, Lokana! Right now we are implementing an ancient evil northern god in Canada called Kigatilik who is summoned into the world by his shamanic minion Tilingkoot. Kigatilik has ice demon-hounds, frost powers and a nasty "Curse of Kigatilik" which requires teams of players to react VERY carefully and quickly. It takes focused player coordination to avoid the worst of his offensive abilities, defeat his minions and take down Kigatilik himself. We have bosses like this spread throughout the game so players will have plenty of opportunities for daring heroics on a massive scale!
