Pictures from an Exit..bition

The thing that really, really impresses me about Champions Online, is how it really has a 3-dimension, detailed environment for you to play in.


Lasers! Pew pew!



They have radio towers that you can actually walk into. The radio towers have equipment inside.



Very tall radio towers too...



I finally got to make my Nemesis. After the first Nemesis mission, it was nice to see everyone clapping at me.

The Nemesis mission took place in a museum, and there were some nice looking pieces there



submarine?



Not sure what this is. OpenSuSe fossilized?



This is a nice set piece from one of the missions.

But if anything, that mission was representative of what Champions Online is like. Beautifully detailed environment, clever missions, dynamic battles and mobs, but ultimately, full of bad balance and bugs.

After I entered that mission and completed it, I realised that the door had disappeared. It was still there, but I couldn't click out. I sent a ticket for a GM, picked up a book, and started reading.

Half an hour passed. No GM.

I quit, and logged back on, but it brought me back to the map.

Finally, I asked my supergroup: how do you get out of this? They offered some suggestions. Submit a support ticket and wait for 10 hours (9.5 hours left!), relog (tried it), or join a pvp queue and teleport out. The last worked, fortunately.

But yep... I know that when the free month is up, I'm taking the pictures away, and memories of something that could have been great but ultimately was not. Something like AoC.
