Playing Champions Again
I have returned to Champions Online. I did miss the game and am having a lot of fun with the patches. I am leveling on Monster Island and just enjoying my time. The game continues to improve and Poz from a PR perspective is a great new game director. I am going to start recording Podcasts again in the next week or two.
Sorry for the lack of updates — new Podcast next week
All,
Sorry for the lack of updates. Dozenz is out of town and Picky and I have been killing ourselves getting ready for the Crossfit minigames later this month. The 2 workouts a day + a 50 hour a week job takes it toll at night. Though I am finally getting back into the swing of things.
Champions seems to still be pretty healthy, but not major news has been announced about the big Q1 2010 patch. Though they a lot of time left to release it. I am still looking forward to a new zone based on the poll they took when the game first launched.
In the meantime I have been playing Champions, Modern Warfare 2, Forza 3, and Left for Dead 2 on the 360.

DevChat Transcript – Nov 20th 2009
Thursday was the 5th Developer Chat, with a focus on The “Nemesis” Confrontation Lair due in November, and was in Q&A format with several of the Cryptic team members including Bill Roper (“Chronomancer”, Executive Producer), Randy Mosiondz (“Arkayne”, Lead Designer), Cormac Russell (“Antiproton”, Rewards System Designer), Chris Matz (“Ame”, Systems Designer) and David Bass (“Daeke”, Community Rep).
We’ve edited the chat down to the actual questions and answers in a easy to read format , but for a full transcript of this and all previous developer chats check out the archive on ShadowDrakken’s site.
[16:14] <~COQuestionBot> <Mighty_Pencil> I know we just got the spiffy new lair, but is anything else stuffed into the pipeline for the future? I don't want to see the nemesis system end here.
[16:14] <+Cryptic_Antiproton> Yes, we've got a new vendor with lvl 40 nemesis power replaces going in right now, it will be out sometime in December most likely. In addition, we know Nemesis content is one of the players'
[16:15] <+Cryptic_Antiproton> favorite features, and we will be continuing to support and expand it as such.
[16:16] <+Chronomancer> We'd love to expand on the Nemesis system to give players even more reasons to make numerous enemies and go through diffferent mission chains. There has been an initial foray into designing a specific Savage track, for example, to take better advanatge of the different motivations of your Nemesis.
[16:16] <+Chronomancer> The Nemesis missions are some of the most complex in the game, but we think the payoff for players is big. So while these will take some time for us to do, we would like to keep this in the plans.
[16:16] <+Chronomancer> Additionally, since we now have the ability to spawn multiple Nemesis on maps, we can start doing a lot more interesting things with Nemesis in other areas of the world. Oh the wicked ideas we have... mwahahaha!
