*Apparently this was really early art*

So...?

Just found it neat.

Nice to see something besides the mechanon loading screen.

Been forever since I last saw that artwork. Always liked it.

Yeah, I remember that from launch. So, does this mean Shadow Destroyer spawns when Qwyjibo is at 1/3 health and tries to turn him into a Qliphothic monster?

Actually, that would be kinda amusing. When Qwyjibo is at 1/3 health, Shadow Destroyer appears and activates a timer. If the timer reaches the bottom before Qwyjibo is defeated, turn Qwyjibo qliphotic, add a bunch of health, and spawn a handful of Shadow Colossi.

If we're just discussing Champs art, here are some of my faves from over the years:

Concept art, I guess. Looks like Destroyer was depicted having a more direct role, like the Lich King in WoW.

That's shadow destroyer though.

I know the difference. I also doubt the real Dr Destroyer being alive was in the cards back then. If you check the audio tracks in demo editing, all of Shadow Destroyer's lines in the last cutscene of the Nemesis arc are labeled DrDestroyer_NemAmb, suggesting that this may have been a new Dr Destroyer and Cryptic changed their mind later.

The lore suggests otherwise. More than likely they didn't want people to know the difference so just labeled him as Dr. Destroyer.

So we have Defender and Destroyer, are any of these other characters in the game?

jellycupsowbug · May 2016

I believe the big one is called Qwyjibo. x3

Seriously, though, I like a lot of those costumes. It kind of makes me want them to be in game characters, but I've never seen them, even in nemesis missions.

I think they're meant to be players....

nacito · May 2016

I support the loading screen change too ;-;

This one always is amusing to me. The one attacking Tako has about the most brutal sneer ever. He's completely unimpressed.

Lower left guy is rather skeptical of Tako too.

It would be awesome to have a ROTATION of loading screens! Some of the old ones are cool, why let them languish?

markhawkman · May 2016

because Mechanon sucks and I got tired of him last year?

Actually STO does that and it's kinda neat.... except when it cycles to loading screens that are for previous season releases.

Actually.... a while back the STO community manager ran a screenshot contest to add art to the loading screens.

A change of Scenery is always nice

Loading screens should have tips for players. Stuff like "Block things" and "Tanks should hold aggro".

The second loading screen does; the message goes by too fast to notice it most of the time.
