Simply put, I've never played CoX, but being a fan of the superhero genre, this looks really interesting!
I see that users are already using the Avatar Builder, and I want to try it out, but I don't know where to download it. Any (non-trolling) answers would be appreciated!

Take my post with a grain of salt. I am not an official MWM Mod and therefore may be some errors in it.

Right now, it's not possible to download the Character Generator.
And issue 0 will be open to some of the backers.
I heard something about a second chance, where you can back them up again and get access as well. However, it didn't start yet.

As far as I understand, Kuraikari is correct.
I believe only one or two users have gotten their hands on the AB, and that was by special appointment.
The recent costume contest was an internal one for Missing Worlds Media personnel only.

If you want to get your hands on the Avatar Builder, you need to do one of the following:
(1) Meet up with a MWM dev (probably in NYC)
(2) Be a Kickstarter backer from five years ago and receive your instructions on how to download then access Issue #0 sometime in the next 0-30 days
(3) Wait for the Second Chance funding (no details have been released about this yet) to gain access to the Beta (aka an incremental build sometime after Issue #0 but before Issue #1)

Bingo!
I'm a Kickstarter backer from five years ago... who should I tell to receive my instructions? :)

You know... it would be nice if MWM actually made an official post about this, but they just posted a semi-cryptic response in a thread a few days ago (that I can now no longer locate) about all of the KS Backers making sure that their email addresses were up to date so they can receive the information. I would suggest talking to other KS backers to figure it out. Good luck

Makes you feel confident that MWM has their messaging apparatus in tip top shape eh?

Make sure your email address is up to date. They will contact you.
Just a random FYI...
MWM is "based" out of Washington State. We have quite a few devs that live there.
While we do have a fair number of people that live in and around NYC, location has nothing to do with access to the AB. Devs all across the world have access to the AB. Just in composition, I know it has been accessed by people in the midwest, Florida, the mid-atlantic, Washington, Singapore, and of course NYC.
The AB is downloaded from a private site, so no physical meet up is required. We're beyond that point.
Just FYI.

And one step closer has been revealed...
Admittedly, getting it from a private site is not yet to "download the launcher from the interwebz, then let the launcher worry about it." But it is better than "here, take this flash drive."

I believe the Issue 0 will not require a direct download but should be through our patcher.

Another new launcher. Hope I won't forget which one is used for what. Well still better than to download the game new everytime a new patch is out. ;)

Does the patcher have the ability to download new versions offline at the end of a gaming session like the one for the old game did?
Spurn all ye kindle.
I'm sorry who thought you were going to need a physical object to have the game? This isn't the CD era anymore.

Don't think they thought it was physical object they needed, but rather having to download the full install for every patch instead of just the differential data.Now we know that Issue 0 will launch with a proper launcher a patching system.
Yeah Cabbit has been referring to a "patcher" for months now.

Sorry, I'm still researching bits of information, as I am a member for 4 days now. And didn't know the project until then. :(
So I was kind of worried, as Alphas, Betas and test environments often are a standalone file.

I believe the plan involves doing a lot of infrastructure building and testing up front: hence the launcher from the get-go, as that will require testing as well, and will facilitate rapid iteration once they start applying fixes and adding new content to the game.

On the bright side, the video stated 2018, 2019 is in a few weeks. My guess is any day now.
As a child, I thought my name was handsome, cause that is what everyone called me.
Most likely the reason why they have asked KS backers to make sure they have a valid email registered there.
That would have at least been my first step in the actual roll out of such a release.
