So, I started playing Champions Online...

[classicdrogn]

Imageshack is now behaving again, so, pictures! Yay? I don't know if these will be readable if imported into your screenshots folder; ImageShack may be stripping whatever it is the character creator hides the part information in.

first, since it's the top contender for my main char at the moment, male and female versions of the magenta armor:


Alternate heads... I like the eyes-in-black-band effect, but the plain helmets may balance that out. Feedback appreciated.


The boots will be the ones from the other set, but I'm leaning most strongly to the white-mouthplate verison above otherwise, and probably female since as a player you spend time staring at their butt, not the cool chestplate, and dude's butts just hold no attraction for me.

Alternate non-PA female costume, mostly the same color scheme:


Alternate male costume, rather different color scheme:

(Did I mention the random lols?)

Remedy:

(will probably not use that backpack) Remedy's look is based on a character I made for Allods before discovering that PvP was mandatory (as in, there are plot missions that require it, and entire regions where opponent-faction players can use an item that turns on your PK flag and keeps it from being turned off for a few minutes - this really pissed me off, because I LIKE the visuals and classes of that game, and had met a good group of players, but consider PvP to be the anti-fun) though that character was a summoner rather than a healer. With Inventor being a cash shop archetype, however, that path is closed.

Czyyk'thzz:


Crimson Crescent:

(will not use, hate having no ranged attacks)

Steamgunner:

(will not use, hate the slower-than-snails attack warmup)

Hideouts are definitely cool - I was already planning to set one up as soon as it became practical.

Terr, if you're willing, I'm certainly not going to turn you down! I'm going to play around with the character creator some more before making final decisions and starting "for real" @danzaiverwhite, because characters created before you finish the tutorial mission get a second costume slot free, while after talking to a tailor you unlock all the free costume parts to play with, and even though they're hidden in the tailor interface you can load the costume just fine from screenshots... archetype for the second character is kind of up in the air too, I liked ice tank but word here is it's a subpar build, I don't like the Unleashed and Soldier, not interested in Archer, flame guy is obvious glass cannon and not that interesting to begin with aside from visual design of the default outfit, mentalist is crowd controller and I suck with those, Grimoire is only so-so according to the commentary. Meh, I'll probably go with the latter anyway, or Glacier despite its flaws because Czyyk'thzz amuses me greatly.

ETA: Has someone been giving me stuff? I just logged on @siglen and there's a bunch of cash shop parts it now says I own... O_O
