Cryptic's Steve Nix explains character progression in Star Trek Online

Based on what Cryptic did at the launch of Champions Online, I do not believe that you can depend on any promises or claims they might make related to gameplay. Just best to ignore it all until the game is released and launched. Then see what it is all about.

Champions had it's fair bit of problems at launch and still do, but the overwhelming problem with it is that its so shallow, this more than anything will be it's biggest problem when it comes to holding onto subscribers.

If STO can avoid this problem, and i hope they do, im sure it will be a very nice game.

Do you mind giving some examples of what interviews mislead you about Champions?

I don't remember any interviews promising that Champions will have god-mode that lets players face-roll through 100% of the content.

I don't remember any interviews promising that Champions will have enough content to play multiple times without repeating content.

I don't remember any promises of mind blowing PvP or perfectly balanced powers.

I'm not saying CO is a great game, but I guess I am not understanding what grounds you have to disbelieve what they are saying. As with any game ever produced, knowing the feature list doesn't automatically make it fun or enjoyable. It doesn't mean that it will meet 100% of your expectations.
