To what extent will our characters be able to interact with the environment?
ex: Picking up Cars, Benches, Lampposts, Trees
Can I sit in the benches?
Can I actually rescue a cat from a tree?
Return a ladies stolen purse?

This is a good point. I'm not sure how I feel about playing in an interactive environment because I never really experienced that in COH and I dont know if its something that is useful or would even be entertaining enough for them to take the effort in making it happen. But I do think that sitting may be something they could do at the very least. I always felt that should be a must. If there's a bench, and we have butts, why not? It would also be cool if your powers affected the environment around you in a limited way (ex: wind attack could send a car flying). But I dont think rescuing a cat or returning a ladies stolen purse would be worth it.

This is actually a good question. I'm not sure the CoT Devs have covered this topic much (or if they have I don't recall it offhand).
I'm sure there'd be a difference between "non-anchored environmental" items (like boxes or cars) versus "anchored environmental" items (like trees or lampposts) in terms of how easy it would be to implement. Things that could change how the environment would "permanently" look to other players would clearly be trickier to support than more temporary type items.
Frankly I might just settle on getting to sit in any type of "chair" that exists in the game. Not being able to sit in most chairs in CoH was surprisingly annoying to me. ;)
EDIT: even Wolfgang8565 agrees with me about the chair thing lol.

I'll be honest, it is a low priority at this time. If we do not have the time to implement by launch, it will come later on. We know how to do it, but taking the time to do it is the concern.

Yeah I could see how many types of "environmental interaction" would be relatively hard and/or time consuming to do. But I'll still put my two cents in for eventually letting us sit in more chairs than we could in CoH. :)

Much like CoH, if all goes well I expect CoT to be a MUCH more developed game a few years in than at the start--especially because MWM seems to have pre-planned as much as possible to make future development relatively easy.

Don't ask me how my brain works, even I don't know the answer to that. But you made me think of the illbegotten love child of two completely different ideas.
The first idea is the newspaper boy from the movie "Better Off Dead"

and the second idea is accidentally sitting on wet paint

so then you end up with paint stripes on your costume and an angry painter who chases you around for an hour or until you log off yelling (censored) profanities at you. I could even imagine there being a badge associated with being able to avoid him for the full hour.
[hr]I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.
