My personal main issue with champions online compared to CoH was how you selected powers. The streamlined approach COH had was vastly superior. I read a lot about the customization of powers in COT but I hope you do not plan on Making power selection as liberal as CO. Having said that, do you plan on looking at other games and bringing in abilities that would be interesting and add different dynamics of play, unique compared to other powers.....ie shapeshifting or the mastermind class.....peacebringers even.

my biggest worry and fear is trying to make the game too standalone losing the things that made COH great......their power pools and heroes being limited to two....was one of those things.

This is simply my humble opinion. Any thoughts?
