Very cool proto-guide here for all the simple lists of Champs Online things you want to know (and that the UI should tell you, but doesn’t clearly). I plan to print this out and keep a copy by my computer.
And there’s the Champions Online Wiki. Cool!
And we already have a Dev-endorsed CO character builder – championBuilder.
I’ll have to check those out!
Very savvy move to have an officially sanctioned hero builder. CoH needs to go that route, because Mids is foundering.
Honestly speaking, I stopped hero-building my toons in CoX a long time ago — mostly due to familiarity with the options available, partially because the introduction of Inventions made the whole slot planning thing silly.
