Also, some people have done awesome work with the character creator--its a fun little bonus to meet original looking heroes.

Missions are entirely too scarce. Replayability is going to be badly hindered by this, because you almost HAVE to do every single quest in a given level in order to have any chance of completing the ones in the next level, and so on.
Powers are still kind of a mess. It's too easy to gimp yourself with powers that don't work properly, and way too expensive to fix an early, crippling mistake.
Group cohesion is mostly nonexistent. We need something like the Task Forces in COH to encourage people to stay together and work on a common goal.
PVP is hilariously broken. No balancing at all. Something as ridumentary as a rating/matchmaking system is essential for an arena brawl like this, and there's apparently no consideration given to the group composition that gets lumped together.
Right now actually making the character is the most fun. Playing it, however, is seeming more like a chore...
