More basic Champions questions

[Markus]

will we have costume slots, or a way to change our costumes easily?

will there be capes, auras and effects, if so can we change them easily? are they available early on?

Will it be as soloable as this game? As in no team required ever?

Do we know what the computer requirements are yet?

Will there be bases? or hideouts?

Will there be PvP? If so will it be necessary or will I lose out by not doing it?

Will there be unlockables? (I hate them but they seem to be everywhere)

Will farming be allowed in CO?

How close to the RPG will the game be? If I go through the pen and paper book, will I get a good understanding of the mechanics?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

will we have costume slots, or a way to change our costumes easily?
I have read yes to both, and I believe you earn extra slots like in CoX.

will there be capes, auras and effects, if so can we change them easily? are they available early on?
We know capes are in at character creation along with wings, as are some glowing bits like tatoos. Don''t know about auras.

Will it be as soloable as this game? As in no team required ever?
You can solo all the way to the max level, which is 40. The recent Massively interview mentioned that there are some "group quests" that take more than one person to complete, but nothing required to advance.

Do we know what the computer requirements are yet?
Nope, sorry.

Will there be PvP? If so will it be necessary or will I lose out by not doing it?
Yes there is PvP, butt it is not necessary. It is arena-style as there are no playable villains. I think I recall reading about both item and EXP rewards for PvP if you chose to participate.

Will there be unlockables? (I hate them but they seem to be everywhere)
I don't know what you mean. If you mean unlockable costume pieces, then yes. If you mean archetypes like Keldian or WoW's Deathknight class, then no as there are no classes or archetypes in the game at all. Its all custom built.

Will farming be allowed in CO?
No idea. Farming in most games simply means killing certain creatures over and over for either exp or more likely specific loot. If thats what you mean then I cannot imagine it being disallowed. However it sounds like you are mostly coming from CoX and I realize "farming" means something a little different there. Just keep in mind Champion's mission system is completely different, and I doubt as exploitable as CoX's.

How close to the RPG will the game be? If I go through the pen and paper book, will I get a good understanding of the mechanics?
I cannot give a perfect answer for this one either. They have the full IP rights to the game and can borrow any amount of lore or mechanics they desire. However the #1 thing the Champions IP is bringing to this game is customization. Powers and players still have advantages, but they have said you cannot really give yourself weaknesses in one area to improve another. Yet this is coming from someone who has never played the pen and paper version or the computer one so take it all with a grain of salt.

Well, I hope that helps! If you have any more questions just post them and I will try to answer best I can!

No. It's mostly for Lore and the like.
