CoX and this game? And...are some of the things people have been asking for in CoX gonna be implemented on this game? Some of which I have already read is "Power Customization" which was one of the biggest requests. What else? Auras? I want to know all.

A nemesis feature is in the works where you can create your own arch-rival. That is really cool. A lot of the game play stuff is up in the air. Basically we wont know until we can play it. :D

Well, the Nemesis Arch-Villain idea was also discussed for CoH, and that didn't happen. I worry about speculating that this game will have the features that were discussed for CoH, but didn't happen.
On that note, I do hope that they do Multipower and Power Pools well :)

The real question is: Is anyone here crazy enough to pick C.L.O.W.N. as a nemisis? :D

Looks to me like CO is planning on delivering many thing which CoX could have benefited from but may have been unable to deliver due to the way it was programmed.

Power customization, build-a-nemesis workshop, and the features pages says something about a moon base and underwater city.:eek:

Wow - I'm SO hoping this game is as customizable as the P&P version. I have so many questions! :)
What personal stats will a character have? Will have have ALL of them?
Strength, Intellect, Ego, Speed, Dexterity, Physical Defense, Energy Defense, Ego Defense, Attack Value, Ego Attack Value, SPEED, DCV, ECV? Oh wow the mind boggles...
What powers out of the Hero system will be allowed? Will we have the Multipower pool system? Will we have Variable Power Pools? Flash? Entangles? NND attacks? Explosive attacks? Desolidification?
How about Modifiers? Will we have elemental bonuses? Weaknesses? Obvious Accessible Foci? Inaccessable foci? Irrational fears?
How about combat? Will we have knockback effects? Will we have destructable environments? Will we be able to pick up and grab things and hit people with cars, manhole lids, etc? Will we be able to blast through walls? Throw boulders? Grab opponents and throw them?
Man this could be great...
I want to know all.

All I know, is that Spring 2009, is a long time away. Especially when "Spring 2009" means "december 2009" or "1st quarter 2010" in dev speak.
Hopefully there will be a *lengthy* Beta before that where we find out the real answers to these questions.

I'm fairly certain auras are in, since I saw a screenshot of a flaming robot.

The persistent arch-enemy concept was my pet cause back in the day, I'm just thrilled to see it here. Really looking forward to Champions finnally delievering on some of CoHs missed potential.

All I can say is that if this is half as customizable as it says...I'm gonna need a lot of respecs

There will be some similiarities just because the same company developed both. I expect Champions to be more advanced in many ways because it uses a newer game engine. When Cryptic wrote their game engin back in 2002 or so none of the progammers had ever programmed for an MMO. They made some guesses that turned out to be wrong in the long term. Some features they had not thought much about at all proved to be wildly popular, ie customization. But there is bound to be some similiarities.

Hate to say it, but I think that was not an Aura you seen, I think it was probably a toggle shield. The screen shot that makes me think there will be Auras is the one with the blue glowing eyes. That made a believer out of me. But I just wanted to be sure.

I wonder if respecs will be available right off or if we will have to wait a couple issues like we did in CoH?

There's one thing I hope that CO will NOT have in common with CoX. The fact that you easily lose interest once your character reaches the mid 30's. You have your primary tier 9 power slotted and have played around with it a bit. Then you start to wonder what there is to look forward to while trudging your way to the level cap.
At that point many people see nothing exciting in the future of their character (as far as character development is concerned) and roll an alt instead. In my case I'd do that, only to shortly thereafter start asking myself if I really wanted to get another character to the mid 30's and once again get bored with it. Next thing I know I'd be cancelling my account, only to return every now and then if I got bored with whatever other MMO I was playing.
This is apparently the main reason why so many CoX players have taken such a long time to reach lvl 50, if they have done so at all. I hope we won't see the same phenomenon in CO.
