Hi all.

I studied film making in university, so I'm not worried about using the /demorecord to change poses in-game, as I've storyboarded a one-minute 'ad' for my SG. I intend to use edited in-game footage to get my shots, but I'm a bit confused on two points:

1)Using either FRAPS or Windows Video Encoder (I have Movie Maker on my PC, so editing isn't an issue), is it just a matter of using the program directly when the game is running? I'm a little confused on how that works.

2) Obviously to have an uncluttered screen, I need to have my screen emptied of various bars and am wondering aside fromt the obvious hotkeys if there are specific commands to do so and also restore them after filming.

Any comments and questions about this welcome.

As a proud Stalkery member of this fine organisation, I can only praise my leader for such magnificent work.

My first look at such a thread, and it's kind of appalling. Whilst most people are generally in favor of this decision to at least get a compromise solution to the problem, a relatively small minority go on and on about the problems instead of praising the attempt at a solution.

I'm with the 'thank you devs' for not only listening to the playerbase, but also opening yourself up to public scrutiny and criticism. You can't please all the people all the time, and this has to be one of many game issues that needs attending to. Let it play out on Test and continue to get feedback.

To the critics: Get on there and do the same. Don't throw hypotheticals at the people who are making the game for you, get in there and HELP them. This is pretty much the purpose of the thread. Otherwise, all you're doing is literally what you've accused the devs of, which is throwing things up there and hoping they stick.

And for the record, I'm in favor of the change. It's a good first step, as far as first steps go.

I have to honestly say this has been the singlularly most enjoyable 29 pages (and climbing, I'm sure) I have ever had the enjoyment to read.

I'm not a parent, but to say this made me grin from ear to ear was a small understatement. Sister Flame I think is possibly the greatest hero to ever have been created in CoH history (though she shares equal billing with all the other kid heroes out there) and made me so incredibly glad to be a part of this game.

I don't care about the doomsayers on this game or people who go on about what needs to be fixed about this game anymore.

Sister Flame and her parents and everyone like her are the heart and soul of this game and I am genuinely honored to put the now-famous Sister Flame Fan Club sig into my own.

Wyll, if the amazingly cool Sister Flame and co. stop by Virtue one day, I would be honored to go for a swim in the pool or play tag anytime at all.

Hi everyone.

Wasn't sure if this was the right forum to post in about this, but I'll give it a go and see what happens.

I'm sure it'd surprise noone to hear that when I saw the trailer for Iron Man, I got inspired to try for a Technology Blaster who could inevitably fly with rocket boots of some kind. My problem was and is the implementation of that kind of look. Perhaps I'm not looking deeply enough into the various types of looks in character creation, though I felt I gave it a good try.

Ideally, I'd like to see something utilising the Vanguard armor (which actually does look like armor) or even a model resembling the PPD armored suit I've seen people wearing over Halloween. Are these options completely unavailable to someone wanting the high-tech armor look? Anyone who's a bit of a costume freak is more than welcome to respond here and I'd appreciate any and all comments.

Hi everyone. My hero, Burnum (over on the Virtue server) is somewhat of a homage to a Hulk 'what if' comic story where he was part of an Australian Aboriginal tribe. I've been wanting to make a piece of art with either a CG rendering or good quality painting. Ideally I'd like to find something similar to what was in issue #20 of the City of Heroes comic with a piece by Douglas Shuler depicting the Vanguard League. I can edit from there, adding what I need.

Alternately, I'm happy to submit a screenshot of Burnum and anyone who'd be willing to give a try would be more than welcome to. Burnum's my second character ever, and quite beloved to me personally, as the look came together quite quickly and has been slowly evolving ever since. I'll get a screenie of the lad and post it here for an idea of what he looks like. Any help sincerely welcome.
