The roles system, Cryptic's novel method for incentivizing well-defined roles to promote balance groups in the class-less Champions Online, is just one topic we discussed with Game Designer Aaron Safronoff. Learn where the game is at on the road to beta, what gives Champions Online its distinctive look, what prompted the recent addition of exclamation bubbles (i.e. Wham! Biff! a la 1960s Batman), and much more in this 10 minute interview from Leipzig GC!
The roles item sounds great. Sort of stances, I gather from the interview.
I wonder what sort of variations to group dynamics this will bring. Will there be preferred stances.. will people covet the tank or support role? Will someone be like "gee I am always asked to be the defensive stance in our group!."
Interesting *wrings hands*
