    Eh, forget it then. I'm lagging a bit due to my cpu and if you can't do anything after hq it's pointless anyway.

    During the Trial, you get only 2-3 skills.
    Right after the Trial is when you can assign skill points for the fun stuff.

    This game had potential but cryptic has NOT done much to improve it.

    Yeah, the words Cryptic, and Optimised can only be used if the words "Is poorly" is thrown in the middle. They use and unstable game engine that they are still trying to get the kinks out of xD

    Offtopic Yoda: Laggy they are, complaints during f2p OB they will have.

    you can play outside of the Tutorial if you have a Friend Referral Key. the Friend key is level capped, i think the lvl cap is about lvl 15 or 19 . i forgot. anyway. here are 4 keys if any of you want to try it out, you can probably find more keys in the forum.

    CORAF-8DQHW-C3LR8-BWAPL-3KWBF (Claimed)

    CORAF-8DQKE-AWR6B-BMPJN-HLRKY (Claimed)

    CORAF-8DQ4A-GRXRT-D49NN-BLABN (Claimed)

    CORAF-8DPTY-8GGXW-UA8KR-DFBJ8 (Claimed)

    Meh, I mostly just goofed around with the hero maker than played the game, I won't lie though, the first mini-instance with the cannon is pretty sweet, and facing a super villain is kinda fun.

    They actually fixed up optimization a LOT since it came out, I had the same problem as you but when I last tried it it was smooth as eggs on highest settings.

    Also there's no need to get a head start in the game, this game is probably the fastest leveling I've ever played. I got from 1-30 in a total of about 4~5 days if that (not counting 24 hours a day, just playing around 8~10 per day). 30-40 is a bit tougher and would probably take another 3 days or so but it's definitely very fast...lol.

    Hell, I could hit 20 on a character within the first day of playing it, where to quest can be very confusing though which is why I got stuck at about 32...I ran out of places to quest and my only quests left are level 33~34+ but from what I'm told you just gotta do the higher ones and there's enough to reach 40 from quests alone not that I mind grinding.

    All I'm going to say is at the very least once you hit 10~15 try out demonflame with a group of other people, it's awesome.

    Okay, I have been reading the Champions online forum and this is what I gathered: the f2p model will be basically an extended version of trial (i.e give people a taste of what a subscriber gets). The f2p players will be so gimped that there will be no reason for them to suffer through playing this game without becoming a subscriber.

    So yeah, when I heard that this game is going f2p I tried the trial (before I heard about f2p I would never have even considered trying the trial). The trial was decent with good appearance customization but the game falls short compared to all p2p games and even some f2p games in terms of lack of engaging quests, mob variability and general fluidity.

    In conclusion: if you want to be a f2p player don't bother with this game. If you want p2p there are are way better games out there to be wasting money on this game.
