  1. I really like the song, but that recording quality is just awful. I had to turn it off 1/5th of the way into it, with the harsh hisses, scratches and pops.
  2. Now that's keen, as all Graver pieces are, but especially as it's not the usual pose one sees when it comes to superheroes.
  3. Much potential do I see.

    How did I miss those? Excellent use of commissioned art!

    Speaking of numbers... just out of curiosity, is anyone as NCSoft (or perhaps one of you player-programmers) thinking about adding something that will allow us to see what salvage each character has? I'm tired of running back and forth from the vault to WW to see it, writing it down in my little notebook and then trying to plan what I need. I'd use Excel to track it, but it's too cumbersome for when I'm actually in game.

    One thing I would like to see is a single screen viewable by the account holder only, that lists all characters in the account on all servers, with the date and time of last login (among other info). So I can see at a glance if any alt is about to slip into 60 day consignment house limbo.

    Seeing what each individual character is holding in their various inventories would be a nice perk. However, I think, if it hasn't been mentioned or added yet, that with such a feature has to come a mode in the vault that shows certain information only to the character owner, while other information is made public to all viewers of the vault. Inventory would definitely be one of those.

    Definitely.

    I am wondering if the little check boxes in the in-game Options screen will mean that only we will be able to see our characters' info or if it means it won't show up on the Vault at all.

    Personally, I don't care if people see my characters' stats and powersets, but I would like to keep things like inventory and Influence/Infamy assests private. I don't need me no mo' spammers looking for handouts!

    Oh jeez... I had to go and do it. *sigh* until they make me a monitor that'll display this I guess this will have to do.

    No idea about them either. I do know though that someone who won the costume contest for the CuppaJo party, was having a fit on the forums last year because he never got even a sketch after 6 months.

    Hate to tell you this, but most places will put paying customers first. Contest winners sometimes get very very low priority, and some never see pieces.

    I was under the impression that the whole "I didn't get my art!" thing was due to a miscommunication and an email failure of some sort.

    This sounded like a fun idea to me. I don't have nearly as many characters yet - but I did manage to fill out the entire alphabet.

    I mean it's not much but hey it entertains me to do it, Guess that's all that matter. Still learning a few other things. Not sure how to put take 1 object out of a picture yet. (i.e. I want to take one character out of a screenshot without bringing the whole background.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Careful, Photoshop noodling can become an addiction.

    For the specific desire to remove a character from an image, I generally use the Extract function under the Filter menu. It can be tedious for some things, but it's generally quicker than most other techniques.

    Of course, remember to copy your image first, in case you mess up. "Undo" is my all-time favorite button, but sometimes it's better to be working with a copy rather than the original, even if it just a screenshot.

    Here's Sparky in his new armor. Unfortunately it probably won't slow his frequent trips to the hospital.
    And here are two of my villains sporting the new armor.

    How did you do the pose for Heavy Metal? Was that done with a demo edit? Spectacular pose, and very villianous! I'm rather impressed.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Definitely a demoedit, which Sparky is darn good at. Looks like the cop is in the fly pose.
