Hi, this Bill Roper, executive producer on Champions Online. And today, we’re going to show you how to build a character.
The character creator in Champions Online is huge, it’s deep. The amount of things that you can do with the character creator are really pretty spectacular. Champions Online is all about customization. That means not only use it to look at your character, the color of the costume pieces and the amazing amount of selections on different pieces of gear that you can wear but also things like change in the hue of your power once you have them, the amination points where they come from. And it just goes on and on and on. Everything that we’ve done in terms of the character creator does make me an expansive and expandable as possible as well. You need to create your character—
The first thing you will start with is power sets. They are basically designed to be different backgrounds for your character, different ways you kind of express the beginnings of the building. The game benefit is obviously on how they impact different statistics, those statistics then fold in two ways or it take super stats so you’re really, really strong or really, really fast and how different things happen like how often you create the strikes or how well you dodge or how well damage you do or how fast to regenerate energy. So, they’re all really tied in and what they are is fanatic groupings of different types of again classic four color common super powers that you can choose from either in a package which allows you to take a thematic set or if you want to go into a custom framework and use every power in the game to build—a great example would be is that I wanted to make let’s say a character called thunderhead where I want to have the concept of commanding storms. I could use a lot of powers and skills from the electricity power set but then I can also put into darkness let’s say to represent the thunder clouds so I can imitate some might powers and have the explosive contusive powers and abilities or maybe four so I could push people back like with storm and winds. Again, it’s all about the design and the character of the concept and then how I can go and choose different powers and different sets and really create that custom experience for play. The best part to me, the character that now comes to life which is getting in and plying with your—we known that a huge, huge thing that has a draw for anybody who loves super heroes is creating what you look like. You’re able to make that iconic figure in the world.
Our costume creator is amazing—selection you have, the detail you can put in, the colors, even the body morphology. We’re encouraging to go through and just be wild and put all these different elements onto a character to make something that’s really going to stand out in the world and be an iconic representation of the hero that you want to play. Everything is presented for you in really simple drop down menus to go through and select from. And if you’re like me, and you just like to have some crazy ideas pop up and then pick and choose from them, you can actually use the randomized button. You can just click on random several times, see different iterations of ideas for characters and then very simply go in and walk the elements that you like. It really makes it a nice way to almost speed browse in the different options to build the character. The amount of options is really amazing. And the great part is that the more you play the game, the more of these options you could earn and unlock. Just like you see in comics. Sometimes there are heroes that will share a name or share a concept for a name. We know that’s going to happen but the important thing is that why put that name on the character? I’m going to get the name that I want so really for that last finishing touch on my concept. There’s many options that we can give our players the better. We try to make sure that there’s all those things there that players can build on both from the beginning of the game, they’re going to say—as they go throughout the game.
