I came back to check out Champions Online after being away a few years. I was mainly updating Star Trek Online and intended to play that for awhile. But I figured - what the heck. Let's peek in to CO and see what's up. Not a lot. But I had some fun familiarizing myself with what characters I could. Hanging out in Rencen…
Never let it be said that I'll forget to praise a fix as well as complain about a bug. Latest game update has largely FIXED the female tights/skin contour bug! Examples of the FIXED textures compared to my original post above: In fact I have done a careful and thorough check of all the tights/skin options and have found…
If you don't want to sift through 7+ pages of comments on the above linked thread, the story has already reached MMOgames. They summarize what's already been revealed about the project fairly well here - mmogames.com/gamenews/45608/return-city-heroes-soon/
Why do I feel like we have the Top Gear crew in charge of bug fixes instead of people who actually know what they're doing? I can just imagine Jeremy Clarkson bringing a large sledgehammer into the Cryptic offices while cheerfully saying "How hard could it be?" And Hammond looking frightened since he knows what's coming…
Not really on-topic, but just a comment - if you were to find a picture from this same angle and altitude, but taken 30 years ago - most of those green "park" areas would've been filled with buildings or houses. Detroit is a sad sad shadow of what it once was. It's lost around 75% of its population, and there's not enough…
I assume people have seen Blizzard's new Overwatch game - or I should say - seen footage of the trailers for it - since it's not out yet. Well - I'm intending to do a few character homages based on the characters we've seen so far. First up - a relatively easy one - Reaper
It occurs to me that I may have posted this in the wrong forum. Would the mods consider moving this thread to the PTS forum so that the Devs will more easily see it and the feedback it's getting?
Though to be completely fair - the West Side High School is only 2 buildings itself. So I suppose the Academy is following an established precedent. But that football field with the stands makes me wonder if something like that couldn't be added to Ravenswood as well? Or - following the lore as stated above - maybe that…
She-Wolf, I'm 100% behind all of your ideas. They are all fantastic, and if they were implemented on ANY level to ANY percentage, this game would be better for it. Which is why it's all the more painful for the knowledge - the absolute certainty - that they will not be used or even considered by PWE. PWE doesn't give a…
EDIT: Since a Cryptic Dev actually responded in one of the other threads and said they're working on a fix for at least one of the bugs reported to be updated in the next maintenance, I withdraw my snarky response about unresponsive Devs. Figures - If you actually CALL THEM OUT for not responding, they'll actually make an…
Well then you'll be happy to know that Flash is NOT grimdark at all. And even the Arrow team, when they've had crossover episodes, seems a bit more light-hearted when they visit Central City. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20PefYLWwhs Flash even brings a bit of the cheer with him when he visits Arrow's town.…
Actually I don't think so. This is the first time I've seen this problem. And the other set of pictures I posted should prove that it just occurred in the last few days as well. I did a comparison there with a screenshot I just took days ago where the problem with the bump-mapping had not yet occurred compared with a…
Here's a more subtle example of the problem. I almost didn't see this, but upon closer examination... yeah, it's there. Here's an image I took a few days ago before the patch. And just now - going back to the exact same location and angle, here's the same character exhibiting the glitch. If you're not sure - bring up the…
Ugh... okay that's a pretty bad bug, there. And it's not just happening on tights with skin. It's happening on many if not most skintight options. Basically - any detail that should be raised ABOVE the level of the skin in order to help define a piece is now sunk INTO the skin as an indentation. This image is a good close…
On the other hand - DC is absolutely NAILING it with their TV series. Big fan of Arrow and Flash. Looking forward to Supergirl. (Haven't had a chance to check out Gotham at all, so can't say anything about that one.)
I'm not looking for any technical help, because I know I'm not going to get any. But I've been having this issue for the last few weeks and I've decided it's simply time to move on with my life. I've been a subscribing player for years now. My next billing date is tomorrow - the 19th. I'm just giving notice to Cryptic that…
Great costumes all! I wish I'd been paying attention to the forums the last few weeks or I might've joined in. As it is, you did inspire me to revisit a concept I'd tinkered with back in COH. Cyberman 8 1963 -- Murdered by criminals, New York Detective Peter Brady's body was retrieved be Professor Tani and taken to his…
I need to start remembering to hit that screenshot button more often. I'm missing out on capturing some epic stuff! Back during the build up to the release of the Lemurian invasion, I caught a couple of great shots of my "70s Anime Giant Robot" character, Robot Ronin, in the finale of the UNTIL vault event fighting the…
Oh I don't really intend to keep him - he's just my "Level up to 40 to get the goodies for freeform" character. If I do keep him - I'll definitely go for a name change. I just figured I'd have some fun along the way. :)
I've seen worse "Comic Book Science" before. So the first bit with dousing the civvies I'll give a pass in that regard. Agreed on the rest being very good. I'd like to offer specific kudos to whoever did the voice for the Overseer bot in the sewers - AND the sound design behind altering his voice. The overall effect was…
Oooh! That's about as spot on as you can get! The color may indeed be a bit dark - but not by much. My suggestion - don't brighten it by more than 2 "ticks". And try lightening the cloth parts first before doing the armor. I think the contrast might be all you need to make it really "pop".
I have discovered a serious oversight in the game's character creator. NO RACCOON HEADS. And no real way to make something else work properly. Closest I could get was the "Bear" head. And that wasn't really all that close. Bugger. On the hopeful side - getting the overall proportions correct IS possible. And the Fox tail…
Replaced Photobucket links with imgur links. BTW folks - Photobucket is DEAD as a free hosting service. Don't use it anymore. As a bonus, here's a couple more shots.
Oh yeah! I remember that one now! I really liked that version of Foxbat and the whole setting in fact. I think I was riffing more on Batman Beyond. But it's possible I might've had that version of the character in back of my mind when I created this.
Anybody else still able to access the old site? Or did they remove it completely? All I'm getting now is that bloody Arc site now, even with the mods I made.
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!!!!! Man - talk about a Necro-post! Still - this one looks like it's for a worthy cause, I LIKE that rendition above and I'd never seen it before myself! Looks like it would make for a decent Nemesis. Okay - so here's the deal - I'm pretty sure the helmet is just the basic Full Helmet with no options.…
Might be worth it to give this thread a bump since I'm seeing people referencing it from other, newer threads. (Thanks Flying Finn and others for showing people where to go!) I doubt it needs to be a sticky, since the old site will go away permanently at some point in the not-too-distant future. But until they get the new…
I suppose you're a better person than I am. I personally wouldn't give a damn about the kid with the DWI if I was in your situation as long as he wasn't dead, maimed or at least as incapacitated as me. Bare minimum I'd make sure he or his family paid up 100% of my medical bills, even if I had to sue them and keep going to…
Aaron Allston wrote the Wraith Squadron Star Wars novels. Also a couple of novels which I always hoped there'd be a sequel to - Doc Sidhe and Sidhe Devil. He was also an incredibly prolific game supplement writer. If you've ever played ANYTHING from Hero Games, then you have Aaron to thank for much of the flavor text,…
DC wasn't sure if viewers could handle a movie with Wonder Woman as a lead. Marvel is giving us a raccoon with a machine gun. I'll be there on opening day. :D
I propose we hold a design contest for a Nemesis called "Smart Car". ^_^ Could be a transformers-ish villain - but he has to be GOOFY looking because of the proportions of his vehicle mode. Or - could be that it's one of Foxbat's former sidekicks now on his own as a villain. "I was merely a chauffeur for the clown's car…
