I'm a pretty big fan of CoX myself, but seriously, do you work for paragon studios.....

I16 is funny to me though, for years people have been asking for customization on powers, and they've always said "NO, not going to happen, it's not in the mechanics to do it, and we aren't going to change it!" Then Cryptic gets to make a comic game in their original image, and puts power customization in, and NCSoft/Paragon rushes to implement it.

Again, long time fan of CoX, but I think CO has potential to fully take CoX's place in my heart.

@Ruffianopatsu:

What they actually said back then was 'It's possible, but it's a huge amount of work and we can't justify doing it right now.'

All that changed, of course, when NCsoft bought CoX and there was a lot more money available. Things like the marketing survey suggested powers customization was coming, and the devs started dropping increasingly heavy hints. That was in 2008. They haven't rushed it out to compete with CO, they've been working on it for over a year now.

Too little too late. They played with this idea and teased us with it for years. Now when their first major competition comes out they release it? No... way too late.. not interested.
