Hello all. It's been almost a year since I've last played champions. I decided to get some free superhero goodness because of the new X-men movie...yeah I'm a dork like that. I had a few questions about some of the powers or lack there of.
Force - will there be an AT available for silver members? I had a lowbie Force toon I wanted to get down with.
Power Armor - same as above - Also had a lowbie power armor guy, but I am actually satisfied with changing him to "The Soldier" AT. The mech targeting fits.
Healer AT - is there a healer AT for silver members? Once again...I had a healer lowbie as well...what gives.
Also here is some general questions:
Do you really think GOLD memberships are worth buying?
Does Cryptic/Atari plan to make a decent amount of money with people buying services a la carte rather then the GOLD memberships?
Do people team up as much now? Before i remembered it was hard to get a team. I had/have a lvl 31 character that I was rarely ever to team up with.
I hope to split my MMO time up between Aion and Champions. I need my superhero fix. I tried getting back into the swing with my lowbie levels and man it just seems to suck. Probably because I didn't have the mindframe of patience to get into my old lowbies.
In any case, kinda havign fun with my lvl 32 Ice in Lemuria now.

Welcome back! Let me take a shot at this.
It's possible. They have been adding in new ATs for Silvers every once in a while. You have to buy them in C-store though.
Same answer as above.
Yes, the Mind AT is the Silver healer/support AT. Grimoire also has a bit of healing ability, but not as much as the Mind.
I believe it is. Access to all Adventure Packs, Freeform builds, and the Token stipend are great advantages. I'm a Silver member right now, but plan to go Gold as soon as I am able to.
That's a bit uncertain right now. You see Atari is selling off Cryptic to another company called Perfect World. We really aren't sure what the plans are for the future. If you like we have a nice thread in the off topic section here if you want to read more about that.
It doesn't seem to be too bad. This game is really easy to get by solo, so many opt to run that way. I haven't had any problems getting groups to run lairs and stuff though. It also helps to have a SG.
Anyways welcome back, these free forums are a nice place.

Thanks for all the answers above much appreciated. I didn't know that the mind and grimoire were healer AT. I thought they were simply what they said they were. I was kinda mad that Force wasnt available for me because i planned on a particular concept, but couldnt do it. The game has since improved since the last time i played. which is interesting. a new GFX card build helps too (two watercooled GTX 460s.) If I do end up paying for a super hero game though, it might be city of heroes. Thats what I started with and it also has improved. was hard to make a decision between the two. DCUO is ok right now, but not where I want it to be.

APs? What are APs? Sorry, Acronym newb here. I was a normal subscriber before F2P and Champions didnt hold my interest long enough for me to warrant paying for it. Maybe this time around they can change my mind....maybe. I keep on giving Champions a chance because I love creating my own superheroes. I just wish you didnt have to buy into some ATs.

AP = Adventure Pack. www.champions-online-wiki.com/wiki/Adventure_PackAll of the APs are free for Gold members, but have to be bought in the C-store for Silvers. Right now I only have access to the Demonflame AP and do not have access to Serpent Lantern and Resistance APs.
