We have the Nemesis editor and that could be expanded upon. If you desire to be the "bad guy" yourself that is not hard thing to do in Champions. Use a little imagination make your backstory to fit the villain role and when you get around to making your nemesis just pick any "good guy" story or even create one of the main…

It is hard for anyone to predict the plans for any of the 3 Cryptic Studios games for 2022. I kept telling people last summer over on the Neverwinter forums that the failure of Magic would have repercussions and a sale of Cryptic Studios could be the most possible outcome. Also I don't think you spend 103 million on a…

The link at the top of the forum here says "Wiki" but sends you to http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page which I assume is the dead wiki. As for maintained by the staff, both NW and STO wikis are maintained and worked on by very few players at best. I made this page long ago for NW and actually had a…

Amazing you managed to send that many whispers all inside a minute. At least you don't have to worry about me blocking you. As a personal rule, if I block a player in chat, I give them amnesty on the first of the following month. So even, if you are that much of a pest, you get another shot at my iggy list every month.…

I just noticed we don't even have an official wiki here anymore. How did that happen!? Neverwinter and Star Trek gets a wiki and we don't? I donated a lot of my time on the Neverwinter wiki and now it looks like carp. A mess of click bait ads and clutter. Star Trek has a Home Depot ad at the top. Another popped up while I…

Thank you, I am currently getting him leveled up in the game now. I just closed out on Neverwinter, gave away all my stuff and handed the last of my guilds off over there. The community wanted me to stick around, but the game is not the one I signed up for all those years ago. Believe me when I say, no to little change…
-
Vanilla forums is a mess, I lost my signature on the Neverwinter forums, it is pulled from the same source as the one I have here. Could be worse, we could have all woke up this morning with our heads on backwards. Have fun! :heart:
-
The game is incomplete without it.
-
A: People. Why would I play a game without them?
-
Hello? Did my posting just get censored??
-
Champions is better off without any changes. You guys don't have to trust me on this, just go read the forums over on Neverwinter... Since April of 2019 they;* pulled the Foundry and burned it. * reworked all game mechanics into simplistic "cookie cutter" classes. * removed most common events stating, they no longer work…
-
To be honest, I don't know if @kojirohellfire is trolling us a bit or seriously out of the loop on game history. Doesn't matter either way, success is measured by the fact, the game is still online and playable for over a decade. Could it have been better? Yes. It can get better, as there is no sign of it stopping. Marvel…

@spinnytop I pretty much agree with everyone who told you that you are mixing real world science with comic book fantasy. As an author, I always shy away from writing about science fiction and stick with fantasy. There are millions of neckbeards, who debate things about Star Wars and Star Trek, right down to where the…

Hey people, I haven't been on Champions for some time, been busy with Neverwinter. I wanted to comment the same as I see most people are stating above. It is a crying shame they keep removing nice things. It appears Cryptic is having a lot of issues, and the community manager even locked us out of commenting on it over in…
-
Some players on Neverwinter launch the game in safe mode and windowed (not full screen), if they get rejected they keep trying until the game loads fully. After that you can swap to full screen. Again that is only a solution for some players. I am so very proud of the Champions, only 3 pages about this subject. Neverwinter…
-
No all three, the issue is connecting to the server. All 3 games plus the PS4 and XB1 are effected when this happens. Believe @kaizerin when they say they are working on it. This is not helping them at all.
-
This is only a connectivity issue as all 3 games Neverwinter, Star Trek, and Champions are on the same server. But the players here on CO are much more relaxed about this problem. Have fun! <3
-
Too bad we don't have a Foundry or you could make the story yourself. The odds are against the developers running with this idea and even less of any hope that a Champion version of the Foundry would ever be in our future. About the only other idea I could come up with, would be to get the RP crowd together in the city…
-
LOL I read about this on Facebook, they were crying about the $20 monthly sub. I don't understand how one can whine about it? My friend bought the $15 pack from the store that gives you a lot of costume pieces from the LTS. I would rather pay $15 one time than $20 per month. The LTS is $300 and I would pay that before 18…
-
I use a PS3 USB controller (sometimes) but mouse and keyboard are the best input devices. I do not own and XB or PS, I just bought the controller because it is cheap, durable, and plug and play (no special drivers required). After you get the joystick working for the PC then you need to get a program such as Joy2Key…
-
Sadly this product is no longer sold by ThinkGeek. They were sold for $13 each or $20 for both. This would have been perfect for many of the more typical champion models.
-
@flyingfinn and @pantagruel01 If you boys would look at my link above, you would see there is a possible way to capture the 3D models without extraction. 3D Ripper DX in that article hooks any model from any 3D game running it through the Direct X. Therefor you are hacking Direct X and not the game. The game remains…
-
I know this is NOT 3D printing... so to speak but it does work in a similar and cost effective way. Tutorial on Making (almost) any game model into a 3D Papercraft Model. I know the learning curve is very high on this, but there are some free software solutions, and tons more tutorials on this subject.
-
You could have fooled me, at present Neverwinter doesn't work on most Windows 10 machines. I have to use an older back up PC with Window 7 installed. My new HP with Windows 10 won't play it. Yet Champions here plays on any machine in the house, well I haven't tried the microwave or toaster oven yet. ;) I am not in love…
-
I am afraid it is about too late in the day for this idea to work; but had they implemented a Foundry "lite" version here on CO. They could have charged zen for extra assets. I know of several Foundry authors who would have spent a lot of money making quests and this in turn would bring in more players for the great new…
-
What boggles my mind about all of Cryptic's PWE games is this; How did they take the same game engine and made it get cruddier along the way? RANT WARNING!
-
*Clears her throat* First I noticed the mention of "Absolutely not a cheap knock-off of City of Heroes and City of Villains." True, but Cryptic is the same company that made City of Heroes for NCSOFT to screw over. So yes, this is by default "City of Heroes" but not by name. So Bandit Xaviera can bite me! "MARVEL FANS,…
-
Yes, that is one tough customer. I have only done it once with a full team. If you need something new to do in the game, make it. You don't need a Foundry editor to make your own player quest. Try this; Ask players for help and have 4 nice rewards handy but don't tell them about the "rewards" in your inventory. Get a full…
-
My definition of "dead" is City of Heroes. If I log into the launcher someday and the game is no longer available, then it is dead. Right after GW2 launched players started trolling on the original. "Why are you playing this dead game?". As time went by the original Guild Wars suffered a massive population loss. But then…
-
I haven't done "everything" but the stories are much more thought out than Neverwinter. I played Resistance over a few times. I really like to tell creative stories as well be part of creative stories. I feel Cryptic has more freedom with Champions in this aspect. Because Neverwinter and the characters are the IP of Wizard…
-
I will explain why I don't mind a 35 zone limit by showing you a link to a recent discussion in Neverwinter. Please read this, speculation or hard fact encounter powers cause lags. This is the wiki article I published to explain the issue. The reduction could mean less lags for the game. However I look at it as, Cyptic…
-
I only downloaded the Arc Launcher separately to get some "promo items" then uninstalled as it is just PWE trying to push their games. I never tried Steam nothing against them but again, I just don't see the need for a massive game catalog to run (or ruin) the game. Should Cryptic ever decide to enforce the Arc Launcher as…
-
I have been using this for my screen shots. You can view my Gallery here on Primus and read my comments about this feature. Also Demolisher is some kind of demo editing program (open source). I haven't tried this program yet, all I can say is it might be worth the look.
-
I am not in the game at present so this could be incorrect, but I will check later and correct this if I am wrong. /bind [key] Target_Self $$ PowerTrayExec 1 [##] Of course the ## is going to be where you have your "Bionic Shielding" placed in your powers tray. Top row is 7 to 13, bottom row is 0 to 6, 14 and 15 are travel…
-
So far this first gift (free car) is pretty cool unless you have one as my Princess has a bike. So I had Juryrig wrench off the sonic weapon and put on her bike, still a cool gift. But the costume emblems were pretty much useless, maybe somebody liked those. I was just about to get online for my next gift and they are…
-
I had to endure 10 of the concerts just to get my "Dancing Queen" title. I don't think it would be so hard to get more "acts" together. If you think about it, Dr. Destroyer should make an appearance to play an electric guitar solo of "Night on Bald Mountain". They wouldn't even need to get a copyright or permission for…
-
My "Model 286" was trying to place her fake accent. Someone suggested it was American attempting to be British, others said it is British attempting to be Venezuelan? Model 286 said it sounded more akin to rusty iron being dragged across a large granite slab. He appreciated the vocal talent it required by a mere human to…
-
I don't know if you are aware but there is a parser "geared" to all Cryptic games, no plugin needed. I don't use a parser but I understand what they do. I just don't geek out on statistical math. https://sourceforge.net/projects/combatlogparser/ This one includes the source code in case you are paranoid, and it will run in…
-
Actually Cryptic has more control over things than you may choose to believe. I have played all 3 Cryptic games without the ARC or Steam Launcher and still do to this day. I was curious about another game but it will not allow me to play any other PWE games without using their ARC launcher. The day Cryptic makes the…
-
The real odd thing is, Cryptic pays another agent to handle the forums. According to what I read on their plans page they are charging $1200 per month or more. I contacted and politely asked "Vanilla" when the forum issue would be repaired, if I could get some idea or estimated time. They politely told me to mind my own…
-
There is a Nemesis Rampage ... look it up. It requires 5 live players. Just like the common Alerts. What I am suggesting above is either; A. developers add robots to these alerts and rampages when the population is too thin. B. players wait until the population is greatest during "special events" and que the Rampages and…
-
I pick up APB's and find it very difficult to get Bursts. The problem with these alerts is they get bugged and you need to form a team just to fix them. My friend wanted to do the Nemesis battle but again this is something for level 40 (like Rampage) and there is never enough players interested in doing these events.…
-
Thanks for clearing that up. I thought this was pointing out all the sonic supers because he illustrated Shriek and Ultimate Echo Echo in the first post. @avianos If you feel they should make a sonic super combat role, you should tell Cryptic. Write up a nicely worded letter (such as you did in your first post) and mail it…
-
I recently attempted /GenSendMessage Auction_Root Show This works for Neverwinter and Star Trek, but not here. It seems to access the Champion's Auction you MUST be in the market at Millennium City. This will make the window open anywhere, but it has no search or posting ability.
-
I have my character set to 4' 8" tall (yes in the tailor) but if you are saying the game is inaccurate the "fictional" height doesn't matter. If my character is taller than 4' 8" then the distance is greater and the speed is increased. So let me break down some math;HeightDistanceSpeed on FootSpeed on Bike56 inches1 mile80…
-
Really? No one has said Silver Banshee?
-
This what I did to measure (estimate) the distance. After getting the ground tile size I ran over the map counting a few. The ironic thing, I did this for Guild Wars (original) and estimated the character to be 6 feet tall. Someone on the forums told me that I was wrong and size of the contents are "enormous". Some…
-
I think this is the finished siggy. I plan to link this with my Primus Database account whenever Vanilla fixes the broken bits.
-
While I am not a forum moderator, but I can tell you it is a bug and according to the moderator here it is being fixed or will be. Cryptic has been aware of it since the 4th and needs Vanilla (the company running the forums) to do the actual repairs. As soon as they get it fixed my siggy will reflect my Champions and not…
-
I pulled Model 286 demo bike out of his bank today and dusted it off. I guess I never realized the guns on it do a fair job on some of the otherwise mundane city missions. For example; in "Ninja the Scrolls" you are told to get 20 arcane scrolls from Demon gang members (not the devils but the more human looking ones). I…
