This episode was pretty "eh" for me. It was your obligatory episode where they basically hash out where everyone's at and what they're dealing with. Hopefully they get back to meat and potatoes this week.
I should mention that I've not read the books (yet). I actually enjoy books more after I've watched a movie or show about them. -

New featured items in the Paragon Market™!
Coming in April to the Paragon Market is a whole slew of new items for your characters to further customize and differentiate themselves with, as well as some unique items like we have never offered before!
Liger Pet
Bred for their skills in magic, the liger pet is the perfect thing to show off your favorite animal (pretty much). This half-tiger, half-lion vanity pet is an unwavering companion for your tater-tot eating hero. Why buy a time-machine online when you can buy a liger for a fraction of the cost?
Price: 400 Paragon Points
Vanity Pet
This four legged companion pet will act as a true reflection of your character. Its fine wood exterior can withstand even the toughest super powered attacks. Assembly required, allen wrench included, but other tools will be needed.
Price: 400 Paragon Points
Custom Power Set
Purchasing this item will get you a phone call from the designers at Paragon Studios who will walk you through the process of creating your very own customized power set of unimaginable power. You decide the Archetypes it works with, what attacks and buffs it has, and what the animations and effects are supposed to look like. Please allow up to 8 months for the power set to appear in the game.
Price: 750,000 Paragon Points
There is Always One Identifier
This will give you 5 charges of the "Who Hasn't Clicked The Button?" power. Executing this power while you are one person away from entering an event or Incarnate Trial will highlight name of the character you are still waiting on. In addition, a giant arrow indicator will appear over their head, the game will send them a tell, email them, send an SMS to their phone, call their home telephone and dispatch a local security firm to their house to get them to click the "Enter" button.
Price: 160 Paragon Points for 5 charges. Less when bought in bulk.
Babysitter
Want to get in that Shadow Shard Task Force without worry? Need someone to watch Junior while you blaze through the newest content update? Purchasing this will allow you to schedule a four or eight hour babysitting session where one of several Paragon Studios employees will come to your home and watch your little one(s) while you play City of Heroes. (Maximum four children and eight hours at a time).
Price: 250,000 Paragon Points for 4 hours, 450,000 PP for 8 hours
Clown Summoning Power Set
With the Clown Summoning Power Set for Masterminds, you will be able to command and control your own circus of clowns. The minion pets are three traditional happy clowns, with squirting flower ranged attacks and balloon-sword melee attacks. The lieutenant pets are of the sad clown variety, and finally the boss clown is a vicious mime with a very powerful self-containment attack that puts himself inside of an invisible, shrinking box. Clowns arrive on the battlefield via a single tiny car that they all pile out of.
Price: 800 Paragon Points
Rularuu Costume Change
Changes your character's model to that of Rularuu, the 50 foot tall insane god-like, dimension eating, being that is trapped in the Shadow Shard. Please use outdoors only, as your character may not fit on many indoor maps.
Price: 400 Paragon Points
Bee Bark Upgrade
City of Heroes has dogs. City of Heroes has bees. Now City of Heroes has dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you. This upgrade power will work on the wolf companion pet, the black wolf companion pet, the umbra beast, and the minion and boss summoned wolves from the Beast Mastery power set. It will give those creatures the ability to shoot bees out of their mouths as a ranged attack. "Simpsons did it."
Price: 400 Paragon Points

Here are the winners of part two of our Big Top Paragon City costume contest. We'd like to thank everyone who came out and showed off some incredible creativity. Positron & War Witch both had a difficult time selecting winners.

We held part one of the Big Top Paragon City costume contest this morning. There were some pretty epic entries that made the decision for War Witch and Positron incredibly difficult. Here were their top selections. Congratulations to those who won!
Part two starts at 6PM PDT - get your costumes ready! -
This evening I joined some Triumphant ones for Mission #347594 - Nova Roma: American Empire by @Liberty X.
This had one epic story line! A rift in time, the Roman Legion battling against Germans with machine guns? Kidnapping of current leadership & threatening Paragon City!
Thanks to those who joined me and thank you @Liberty X for the excellent mission!

Quote:If you've submitted your entry before this announcement was made, it would still qualify to win and to be used in-game as inspiration. If you want to re-submit using the new dimensions, that's fine too.Originally Posted by RoboTank
Ok, I take it then that this means I need to resubmit my entry ?

Thanks for the feedback. I've passed this on to be looked at.
-
Unfortunately a change had to be made to the contest - the dimension requirements for submissions has been changed to 512 x 760 pixels
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. -
-
We're currently looking at ways to be more interactive with our players and this was just one of them. Next time (hopefully next week) we'll give mirroring it on the forums a shot.
Thanks for the feedback. -

It'll be on Virtue. Rules are being fixed now

The circus. It's home to the human cannonball, strong men, fire breathers and acrobats. Not exactly a place for Paragon City's superheroes and villains. But now, we want you to bring your own brand of circus to Paragon City. No, we're not clowning around.
Use any combination of costume pieces and head to Pocket D on the Virtue Server, March 28th 2012 at 11:00AM PDT (7:00PM BST/20:00 CEST) and 6:00PM PDT(2:00AM BST/3:00 CEST on Thursday, March 29, 2012 in Europe). You will not be judged by your biography, so make sure that your concept is clear by costume and name alone!
Our special guest judges for this contest will be Matt "Positron" Miller and Melissa "War Witch" Bianco!
As always, each semi-finalist will win an NPC costume code and the top three will win VIP Game Time! Official rules and details can be found here. Good luck!
