Well I'm not gonna pay for image hosting. I have my own webserver, I just prefer not to increase it's traffic load if I can help it, so I don't put stuff like screenshots up on it.

I'm not using bitmaps either... I was using the game's actual screenshot function, which saved them in jpeg format, so no conversion should have been necessary, and they're all smaller than a meg, which is what photobucket claims to be the file size limit...

Yet they still get shrunk

That would actually be a great veteran reward to create a charachter or make one huge. Just like those freakos in Robotech you know?

It would be a neat toggleable power -- might be tough riding in elevators, tho'!

Same here. I have a paid Photobucket account and they never touch anything I might upload to it. Well worth considering over those horrid popup ad-prone sites such as ImageSlock.

[/ QUOTE ]You don't get pop-ups on imageshack if you know how to use it correctly. I.E. linking directly to an image. :|

Screw it, not like I'll change your mind.

Since you can't link directly to an image on the boards though, people have to go there. I don't click on anything that comes up as imageshack any more, I HATE the popups.

As for photobucket, have you tried resizing it yourself to something smaller (it might come up larger than what PB resizes it to) there's also image compression, you lose a little resolution, but not enough to make a huge difference.

The big robot is HILARIOUS though!!! You sure are a nice guy to stand around taking requests.

Now I wanna be huge

Yes, you can. You right click the image, hit properties, and use the link that's shown there. I use that link on every single one of my images, and have never, I repeat *never* had a problem with ads since this method bypasses looking at it from an imageshack "page."

They even give you a direct link URL at the bottom of the page everytime you host a pic.

I went to check out Imageshack and xs.to... But since xs.to sent me my validation email instantly and Imageshack still hasn't... 30 minutes later... I went with xs.to.

Here's my screenshots in a much higher resolution

I may mine my demo recordings for more screenies later. Or maybe just upload the demos

I would love for that to be a power.

Maybe its code for a new powerset that hasn't gone live yet or maybe a powerset that was eliminated from the game but the code was left in. From what I can see from the screenshots he scaled up pretty cleanly.

Actually, it scaled up that easily because you can make your character any size between 4 feet tall and about 9 feet tall, and everything has to scale properly for that or else it looks bad. I figure that all the costume pieces are designed to maintain their aspects as they are scaled up and down.

That would be interesting in PVP. What would you do? Try to fight him or go "OMG A GIANT HES GONNA KILL US!!!!!"?


 

Posted

Yeah, we were all telling him to level up and go PvP

If he had we probably all would have followed him... He'd have had an army for backup

That would be better if he was named Gulliver.
