May I suggest Blueside Pocket D on Virtue?

There's always plenty of...content...there .

Not real response.

A few points

• The Anniversary event was a great test of the server capability and pointed out where we need to make some adjustments. Any sort of "lag" (said in quotes because it's a generic term that players use to describe a number of things) wasn't necessarily on the server itself. There's a lot of technical mumbo jumbo that explains it, but I'm not the guy to do so. We're actually going to be raising the queue numbers significantly (as we did with the Freedom anniversary event), again, because the server itself is very capable of handling it.
• To designate Freedom, Virtue, Union or any existing server would be unfair to the other servers.
• To designate an existing server as a VIP server would be counter productive to one of the stated goals of City of Heroes Freedom, which is to allow former players the opportunity to come back and play with their friends either as VIP (preferable ) or Premium.

We've been very pleased with the sentiment that many (I might even go so far as to say most) players have expressed; They have no interest in moving to the VIP server because they want to play with their old friends and the new players. Most players seem to be viewing the VIP server as "bonus slots" which is just fine by us.

We are not giving any sort of special incentive to playing on the VIP server, it's simply there as an option, if you so chose to exercise it .

My normal form is usually that of a Clockwork Magician...I'm sure there's screenshots floating around somewhere out there

No trouble to be had there, and honestly, I look back at the film with fond memories because it not only opened a lot of doors for me but also introduced me to the filmmakers whom we all remain friends with to this day.

No regrets whatsoever.

Thanks, as always, for putting this together for the Community VK .

You left one out:

Random food talk.

To give a bit of insight,

We'd most certainly love to do this, however each of those Community billboards is placed by hand into the game world, thus requiring production time. As you may imagine, our production calendar is pretty full up at the moment, but we'll certainly take the sentiment into consideration for future builds.

Thanks!

We're going to need a lot more fruit baskets

At this time we don't have any plans on reviving the in game billboards for real life products, although we had considered approaching In-N-Out for a lifetime burger deal....

Just kidding ...kinda

Coyote is present in the new tutorial.

Thanks

Excellent work, as always, Antoinette.

Thanks for your feedback regarding the new loading screens. We are extremely excited about these panels you've been shown and are eagerly anticipating being able to show you the rest of the comic when Issue 21 launches. I have been speaking with Noble Savage, El Topo and Second Measure regarding some of your concerns, and we certainly understand some of the viewpoints being expressed in this thread.

A few things we can clarify really quickly:

• Back Alley Brawler is being illuminated by a gigantic fiery meteor of doom, which at it's position is akin to being a light source as bright as the sun. As such the lighting has a bit of a bright orange hue to it, which has been saturated to an extent. There's definitely no intent of changing skin tone.
  
• Sister Psyche's expression is one of both shock and fear, which we consider an appropriate reaction to an apocalyptic storm of death and destruction hurtling at her from above. As a member of the Freedom Phalanx, nothing short of a world threatening event could evoke this kind of reaction from her.

The above being said, we have been paying attention to your thoughts. We'll be making some very subtle adjustments to the image which address these concerns while still preserving its artistic integrity.

We're very excited to be exploring this new artistic direction with City of Heroes Freedom. This style of comic book is something that's considered new and cutting edge to many comic book enthusiasts and we're stoked to be leading the way among Super Heroic MMO's in evolving our style to embrace it.

So for this Mission Architect Thursday we played Arc #60197 - Becky's Revenge.

It was, like, totally awesome, fer sure.

Have you played this arc before? What did you think? Thanks for the fun Protector!

Note: this isn't necessarily the Dev Choice arc, just letting you all know which one we played .

Don't forget to keep nominating Arcs!

Thanks everyone!
