I would be looking for my new badge "The End Was Nigh" for all characters logged into the game during the end times. That would be a pretty sweet badge.

I'm listening to that now and I agree. I would probably cry and show my kids the video when talking about my first game as well. This is breaking my heart.

Are these events leading up to a larger more inclusive event? I know nothing like this has been hinted at, however, playing in the low level even it seemed to come and go quickly. I never felt pressed to accomplish anything and the invasion seemed to mind it's manners and stay out of the way to a degree. I had really hoped to see a longer more widespread event. It was enjoyable for the short time it was around.

I didn't see that they fixed the character select screen yet. I can't seem to get mine to retain the order I arrange them in, even with my "remember account name" box checked.

[/ QUOTE ]are they just appearing in some random order, or the pre-i12 order? if the former, try going and deleting any playslot.txt files in the city of folder.

I'm gonna go with randomish. They most asuridly are not in my pre issue 12 order. I can rearange and save the order if I want to play on one server.... however, if I start switching between servers I find that everything starts getting jumbled up. I have on occasion (at least once since this patch went out) had a crash switching servers. is it related? I'm no programmer so I wouldn't know. The evens usually "seem" go transpire in this order....
log in,
select server,
order charecters,
select charecter,
play for some amount of time,
log out to log in screen,
emidiately log in and select diffrent server.
this has cause me to
a) have jumbled up charecters on the new server or
b) hang up and crash wich prompts a crash ticket.

I know you I'm not who you were talking to but I thought i'd through my situation in on the subject.

Updated a few images. I'm working on a painting now that will have three charecters in it. Nightwing, Mary Marvel, and Metamorpho. The drawing are just roughs for the actual painting but I said as much in each entry lol. Check thiem out and let me know what you think.

Overdirection kills all those little sponteneous things that happen when an artist is creating. I find my pieces 'die' when I try too hard for a certain look. If I just 'let them happen', I continue to enjoy them for months (or even years) to come.

This is so true, I think people might have even heard it discribed as the painting or artwork "speaking" to thiem. Sure as an artist I have things I want to say in a work, but the work wants to say somethings right back.

So instead of posting a new thread everytime I drop something on my deviant page I figured I'd just bump this thread. So with that being said, here's two new additions to my city of art, and this time they're in color. let me know what you think.

on a side note... if anyone want to send me an email or pm explaining how to rename a link I put in the body of a post, please feel free. I'd love to know. Thanks again.

Here's what I like to hear. What "feeling" do you want it to have, and what specifics do you need to see.

1) I want a high impact feeling to the piece and I'd like to be able to see most of my charecters face and emblem.

2)I want an epic feel with more of an action shot rather than a charcter observation.

See the diffrance is how an artist will go about not just the background but body pose as well as a ton of other things. Always ask for what you want, but remeber ask for what you want upfront and honestly and the more restrictions you place on an artist the rougher it maybe to meet your vision. Everyone has their own process so really consider chatting the artist up some, see what they need by asking questions and going with the flow.

Thanks for the complaments. I added a few more murals up. They're older but I needed to add thiem. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks guys, I can be pretty lazy with my updates but check on me every now and again for new stuff

So, I posted a few more pics up on my gallery. A few pencile scratches of just a couple of my charecters. I'm going to try to do something more complete as the year comes to a close and the next one starts. So pop over, take a look, and let me know what you think.

Happy turkey day to everyone who's in it to win it.

In warburg, as a stalker (at least ninj) if you die in a mission and then respawn to the hospital hide does not recharge. Only after zoneing or reenetering the map will it be fully recharged and able to toggle on. Don't know if it was stated yet but 3/4 of the way through the thread I decided to bump to the last two pages.

On a note to the lag, if it's simple lag people may want to make sure supress other player effects is on. Mine reset and I didn't realize it for a couple of days.

Thanks guys. I've got tons of stuff but I always seem to be doing something else. Hopefully I'll have more stuff up quickly.

Hey, I just started a deviant account and, well, hoped I could get some people to pop on over and look at some of the work up. It's not much right now like 4 or 5 images but it's something and with time new stuff should be up semi-regularly.

Thanks.

Let see... I like Issue 9 all right but I'm not over whelmed or anything.

-I would vote on the market for the best new feature, but the lag it creates on the bussy servers makes it tough to really apreciate. +Instead I vote of IOs

-I would have voted for costume peices as my new shiney, but unless I get lucky or want to spend a ton of money, I don't get that new shiny. So imo thats not really a game addition for the masses. Even if they would have been vetran rewards people would have known eventually they would have the new costume peices. +instead I vote on enhancement sets, at least the're dropped enough that I may actually be able to buy what I'm missing without needing a main to drain money off of.

-I like that there is an economic system now to provide an alternative to the npc shops.

-Like most tutorials the Invention system seems fine.

-Over all I vote Issue 9 as "ehh, it doesn't suck."

now we have something to do when we stand around, lets get some new stuff to do when we're not. New powers and new epics ftw.

Marvel is putting money into Cryptic, only for Cryptic to give money back to a major competitor's ally company? (Top Cow/Image are now attached to DC in some way, not sure how financially tied they are, but all the Widlstorm stuff has somewhat crossed over with the DC universe recently with Infinite Crisis and all).

Image is/was a house of creators with seperate creative companies all published under the same umbrella company. When Wildstorm jumped ship to DC, it was Jim Lee and his flagship comapny that made that jump, and in doing so left Image comics. Thats why wildstorm title can be seen in some DC crossover events, because it is a DC owned property now.

Thats not the same as a one-shot special made between two companies that they both would see a proffit from. Like the DC/Marvel epic event sometimes companies decide to share a little to get more face time with the fans, and to create hype. Just because they've worked together in the past doesn't imply ownership.

Marvel wrote up an offer for whatever man hours and development obligations they would want from Cryptic and Cryptic jumpped on board. None of those obligations was the sale or impending sell of City of. If it were there would already be news of the merger. It may happen that someday Marvel does put out a City of comic, because when you run a comicbook based game and are working closely with a publishing giant like DC or Marvel you may actually make a good contact in the proccess. Maybe it will never happen, but it could.

The death of the City of comic is because sales could not sapport Cryptic giving it to all of it's player base for free. So the introduced the online download. The sales have never really been sapported by non-players and so the capital was still not there to keep the comic alive, this isn't a judgement on the comic it's just a fact. Money has to come in for money to go out and when you don't meet your profit goals you reavaluate how you're doing things and if you can continue. In this case it was a no.

We can guess why all we want but the fact remains that the City of comic was never popular enough to be pushed out by some lame strong arm tactic. If anything Marvel would look at as a great way to generate intrest in what they're doing with their partner Cryptic. I personaly think the comic didn't make it because it was static boring read that failed to bring in out-side readership in numbers big enought to saport it's self.
