It’s once again time for Ask Cryptic, the feature in which Cryptic Studios answers player questions regarding the future of its games, in this Champions Online Q&A. Despite the fact that it opens with the disappointing, though understandable, news that there won’t be any four-armed player characters appearing in the game, there are bright spots. This is particularly true if you’re into Champions Online‘s character and costume creation system, and frankly if you play that game, chances are that you love that stuff. The focus of the community on costume pieces and effects comes through in how many questions are asked about them, but there are also answers on subjects such as event vs persistent content creation and future powersets.
Overall, there’s nothing in this Q&A that’s going to light anyone’s hair on fire with excitement, but it implies a great deal of careful planning within Cryptic. The tone is that of an experienced developer focusing on the long-term success of its game, and that’s never a bad thing. To check it out for yourself, head to the official site.
