Some information on Roles, which I assume help you sculpt your class into a damage, tanking, neutral or healing hero.
[quote=Champions Online][b][i]What’s My Role?[/i][/b]
Unlike most MMOs, Champions Online doesn’t have rigidly defined classes. Players can choose the focus of their hero by the powers they choose, what advantages they put on them, and the statistics on which they concentrate. Another key element to this is what Role the hero elects to take at any time. Set through the Builds interface, here are the four main Roles currently in the game:
Guardian (Balanced)
* Standard Damage
* Standard Bonus Hit Points
* Potency of Healing powers are standard
* Potency of Hold and Root powers are standard
* Resistance to Hold and Root powers are standard
* Power decays at normal rate
* Energy generated when blocking incoming attacks is standard
* Standard Threat generation
* 1 Versatile Passive slot
Avenger (Offense)
* + All damage is increased by 20%
* - Bonus Hit Points are reduced by 50%
* - Potency of Healing powers and effects are reduced by 20%
* - Potency of Hold and Root powers are reduced by 20%
* - Resistance to Hold and Root powers are reduced by 20%.
* + Power decays at 50% normal rate
* - No energy generated when blocking incoming attacks
* Standard Threat generation
* 1 Offensive Passive Slot
Sentinel (Defense)
* Standard Damage
* + Bonus Hit Points are increased by 25%
* Potency of Healing powers are standard
* Potency of Hold and Root powers are standard
* + Resistance to Hold and Root powers are increased by 20%.
* - Power decays at twice normal rate
* + Energy generated when blocking incoming attacks is doubled
* + Bonus to Threat generation
* 1 Defensive Passive Slot
Protector (Support)
* - All damage is reduced by 20%
* - Bonus Hit Points are reduced by 25%
* + Potency of Healing powers are increased by 20%
* + Potency of Hold and Root powers are increased by 20%
* + Resistance to Hold and Root powers are increased by 20%.
* + Power decays at 50% normal rate
* Energy generated when blocking incoming attacks is standard
* Standard Threat generation
* 1 Support Passive Slot

If you've not got a beta key, wait untill the game is released and try a free trial.

AWW SHIT NAH, UNDERWATER, YOU SERIOUS BRO?! GOD DAMN THAT IS SOME HOT SHIT, I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY NOW, YOU CAN FUCKING SWIM. Fuck all that other shit, fucking other dimensions and shit. I want to go SWIMMING.
Where the fuck did I put my swim trunks?!
I really hate how that guy talks.

Oh God I just got an epic idea for a hero.
I'm not telling you guys till I make it though, because I don't want you to jack my idea.
I bet he'll be able to swim.
It's something to do with swimming, right?
He's just making a clone of Aquaman. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

No he's making Manaqua, water providing hero to thousands of third world children. Oh and he can swim and talk to dolphins and shit.

3 Days left until keys are beginning to be dispatched. 3 Days!
Hope I get one. It looks really awesome!
Where do I sign up to get a key?
Hopefully it'll be easier in this than in City of Heroes/Villains to create a steampunk style hero :D

By the way, sadly, although many of you are getting the beta key as early as the 1st of august, it won't be possible to get the game client untill at least the 17th.

[B]Edit:[/B] Scratch that, read my below post.
Read the whole article, thats only for the 50,000 key fileplanet giveaway and pre-order. Those who got the GamerZine keys will be in a closed beta.
Holy fuck i just got my beta key and i'm currently patching.
Same here.
But I was supposed to get my key in 2 days. Oh well, not like I care.
Fuck sleep, I'm gunna go on this as soon as it's downloaded.
I Just got it today, after installing i told myself i would only play for 1 hour as i had to go out somewhere... 50 of those mins were customizing my character... It is VERY in-depth

Fuck fileplanet. Paying to download files is preposterous.
Just pre-ordered it. Looking forward to beta.
You're all very lucky bastards.
I wish I was in. I would probably be very helpful with beta testing, as I have a very good eye for bugs and am running the RC for Windows 7, which means that I would be able to spot bugs related to that OS only.
Oh well, at least I get the open beta and the full game.
I got in and it's patching, but by the time it's finished (fucking Australian speeds) it'll be too late to play.

You think you're the only one running W7 or something?
Got my guy to level 9, it's pretty fun.
I recommend the power armor framework, but I do see a lot of guys with it.
Also, I don't want to leak too much stuff, but:
I made a dinosaur (raptor look-alike) named "I can open doors"
Gaybow to whoever gets the reference.
My key comes on the 3rd.
The anticipation...

Hurf durf in Jurassic Park when the woman says, "Unless they learn how to open doors..."
And then the raptor opens the door to the kitchen.
