I'm not usually one for old news, but last week's Ask Cryptic passed my inbox somehow, and it's an awesome entry into the information we know about the game so far!

I want to know about Knockback (KB) - which is a very key combat element in the PnP Champions game, and I want to know how and to what degree it's going to be integrated into CO. (circeus)

Heretic (lead powers designer): Knockback will be an integral part of the Champions Online gameplay experience. We are carefully considering the practical implications of this as well - for example, no melee character wants their enemies to be knocked out of their melee range as a matter of course, though there may be situational points where this may be desirable. We are working to accommodate both considerations, along with many others.

Will we have different back options than just capes and wings? (i.e. jetpacks, quivers, sword holsters, etc). (Jags_Powar)

Absinthe (lead character artist): We will have capes, wings, horns, spines and backpacks (which include jetpacks, etc.). We are still finalizing the details on whether or not we can get your weapons to display on your back all the time. But don't worry - there will be plenty to choose from!

Very awesome stuff there, and I apologize for not getting it out there sooner!
