CHAMPIONS ONLINE: Kyle Horner, over at the always informative Massively.com, has written up an article entitled, “The First Five Levels of Champions Online“.
If you have been awaiting the arrival of Cryptic’s latest superhero MMO you’ll want to give this write-up the once over twice. Me, I really want to sink my teeth into CHAMPIONS ONLINE on a console. Will MMOs EVER be readily available and functional on consoles? Magic 8-Ball says, “Can’t answer now. Try again later.”
“While playing through the whole of the tutorial, you’ll level up quite a bit. However, you won’t actually get to chose new powers or anything of that sort until you’ve finished the actual tutorial itself. My first run through took me about 45 or so minutes, but once you finish the last big instanced mission you’re offered the chance to level up at a terminal and wow is it ever quite the level up.
At this point you should be level five, and you get to pick three things: a new power, a super stat and your travel power. Yep, that’s right, you get your travel power at the end of Champions Online’s tutorial.”
