    Well, I moved over from Defiant during the last free transfers. Union has been great

    I also am kinda back. I didn't really go anywhere, I just mostly stopped playing for a few months, but am starting to play again now.

    A Recreation Pack, whatever gave you that idea?

    It could have that football emote too.
  5. I'll come. I can bring quite a few things, but nothing with -regen (Still leveling them).

    I've got my Empath, Fire/Kin Troller, Kin/Psi Def, Elec/Elec Scrap, Ice/En tank.
  6. I wouldn't do anything too evil, but I wouldn't follow any one set government's of laws, just my own. So, somewhere in between.

    Well... I have no idea. But WW seems to be differentiating between them, so there must be a difference.
  8. So, from the launch day interview we have:

    MMORPG.com:
    What is next for City of Heroes in the coming months?

    Melissa Bianco:
    We’ve created a beautiful world that is Praetoria and I want to support that. We’ve also promised more content, so it’s been a personal goal of mine to keep that momentum flowing, we’re simultaneously working on short-term and long-term Issues so that we can continue to support features we introduce. We have Boosters and Super Boosters coming out and, of course, Matt Miller’s baby – End Game. So just because this Expansion is out the door, we haven’t slowed down, we’re still as busy as ever.
    And from the Razer Q&A:

    [Comment From CoH Fan CoH Fan : ]
    I've really enjoyed the Super Booster packs you have been releasing, especially the Magic and Mutant boosters. What other types of Booster Packs are you working on?

    War Witch:
    Dude...are these all mine? LOL So...Funny you should ask that, we'll be announcing some new Boosters by the end of August, so stay tuned. As for the next Super Booster, we're in the works on that now and you've been asking for it. As for what we'll do in the future, well, we have lots of thoughts from you guys, but now that we're done with Origins, we can do anything we want. So start thinking about what YOU want.
    So we have at least two boosters being announced before the end of August, and it seems that they are not 'Super' boosters.

    So, any ideas on what they might be?

    We did had two rather cool dance emotes in the GR beta, but they were removed (presumably for a future Booster), so they could be part of it.
  9. I'll come. I haven't actually done Hami since he was revamped years ago.

    I can bring pretty much anything.

    Yeah me too :/

    I hope one of the EU contests has that grand prize too.

    Also this means that more GR content is pretty much confirmed

    I've been taking screenshots all over the place ever since NS mentioned this contest back in closed beta... I don't even care about the prizes, I just want to see my stuff in game!

    I decided I'm going to submit my stuff anyway... disqualification be damned! at least my stuff will be seen!
    You could get a friend to submit yours for you, and then they could send you the codes if you win.
  12. I used them to rename and completely re-do some old characters I had lost interest in.

    GR content in AE

    I'm probably missing something, but are the GR maps/enemies available in AE? I can't seem to find any.

    And if not, do we know when? I19?

    Add -project eucoh to the .exe shortcut you are using, or it won't use your EU settings.

    Well the Abandoned Sewers has it's own loading screen at the moment. I was a bit confused as to why it was left out.

    And using Cavern of Transcendence for some images would be great if we are allowed.

    Thanks for the clarification (and all the other answers)

    Now to brainstorm.... I have a lot of screenshots to take when I get home!

    However, because it's an indoor mapset, you may find that there's not a lot you can do to enhance this (maybe ambient occlusion). Would be interested to see you prove me wrong though.
    Yeah I was about to say. It's just...tunnels... and Trolls...

    Also, this got lost at the end of the last page:

    I'm still a bit fuzzy on the NPCs though, Lusca and Hamidon would be great for example, as would some of the signature NPCs and crowds of enemies in some zones, as they are all part of the zone so to speak.

    Looks like a pretty standard one. Dunno what IOM means :P

    2a. Do your best to avoid shooting characters, but on live, we realize that this will be difficult. We'll probably photoshop out any npcs/players that happen to sneak through.

    3a. You'll need to use the provided frames for this contest. Hero side has an new format, for starters.

    4a. Widescreen is not something you'll need to worry about for this contest. Use the provided frames, and you'll be golden.

    1b. Submit as many as you like--there are a lot of zones to cover, and we want to have as many good choices as we can get.

    2b. No.

    Thanks!

    Yes it does! Also, another channel to join is 'Europe United'.

    When you're online, tell us the name of the first character you make (that will be your Global handle until you change it manually, so we can reach you whatever server or character you are on).

    lets start the voting!
    Union. Message me on @Orion Star when you get online. ("/t @Orion Star, message here"). However if you are on a trial you cannot send private tells, so just post here and people should be able to find you.

    I would guess so. They need the shots to look as good as possible.

    You could show a friend your screenshots and ask them to re-take them?
    1. I have everything in all the prize packs (aside from the gametime, I guess), if I win, could I forfeit some/all of it for a Praetorian PD code? :P
    2. Does 'no characters' include Trainers/Contacts/Civvies etc?
    3. I'm not in a position to download and view the templates where I am currently, but are they the same as the current ones? And if so, are the Hero ones adjustable for the location of each zone (Or will you guys do that?).
    4. Edit: What Evilanna said.... Widescreen? Should we make the entries viable to be resized to widescreen format if needed?

    Cheers, and this is probably the best contest so far. Well, apart from the exclusion of the Praetorian PD codes from the prizes. This game has turned me into an obsessive completionist

    Edit again: Two more:
    1. It says you are allowed to submit more than one entry - Is there a limit? Can we submit one for each zone? Multiple for one zone?
    2. Any editing or filters allowed on the screenshots?

    Sorry for all the questions

    That's awesome, cheers for that.

    Although it just makes me more annoyed at the lack of a box release in the EU
  24. Nice work.

    Aeon, lay off the booze
