I10: Invasion Wallpaper

To celebrate the launch of Issue 10: Invasion for City of Heroes, we had the art department whip up some snazzy new Wallpaper. Thrill to the new images of the Rikti as they invade your desktop! (Too much? )

Check out the new Invasion Wallpaper here!

cheers,

Very nice!! Might try for some widescreen ones plus I know there's at least one loony out there running at 2048x1536. And you really should hide the spoiler one behind something. Don't get rid of it (it's my favorite!), just hide it behind a "ZOMG s01l3z!" link or something.

I would have to agree.. some widescreen wallpapers would be nice for those of us running widescreen monitors (I know.. we're still the small minority) Indeed they are nice for those who can se them though. ^_^

Awesome, I was thinking recently that the wallpaper section needed an update. Since the last one was around I2 on the CoH Side I think.

An idea though, whip these up before the issue launches as promotional materials and distribute them to the news sites.

This may be a lot to ask, but can we get widescreen aspect ratio (16:9 and 16:10) wallpapers sometime?

Glad you like 'em!

I'm not too worried about the spoilers. I do realize it's an issue for a few people, but there have been a lot of "teases" about that particular element over the last few weeks, and it will soon be fairly common knowledge. (And I do apologize if I ruin the surprise for anyone, as I can be touchy about that kind of thing, but I don't think we can easily put a "spoiler!" warning over the image. I'll mull it over.)

As for Widescreen variants....hmm. I confess it never crossed my mind. Let me discuss with the graphic design dudes, and see what's possible. Probably won't happen for a little bit, as they are super busy, but I'll certainly bring it up.

cheers,
JS

Thanks.

If nothing else, others with a border would help - I can use the bordered ones on my 1680x1050 and just have a black background. Doesn't work *quite* as well with the full ones.

It can't be much of a spoiler when the image of him is already plastered all over the cover of comic issue 20.

May I just say, "Holy crap, Jesse!"

When was the last time we got new wallpapers for CoH/V!? Probably when CoV came out... Thanks!


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Thanks Artic! I like 'em, but kinda wish we could get ones of the Rikti Heavy and U'kon Gr'Ai too

Hot.

Can we get one of Vanguard for the win? I named my new laptop after them! <_<

Fantastic stuff!! Obviously I most like the second wallpaper ( ) but I'll be sure to use 'em all at one time or another!

Oooh!! o.O

The first one is the first wallpaper to push this off my desktop since it won the screenshot contest back in december 2004.

...

Yeah, I don't change wallpaper very often.

<QR> My only issue, as with most desktop wallpaper, is that because the windows task bar is at the bottom, a more appropriate size would be 1280x1014 instead of 1280x1024...

Probably not feasible, but you could reconsider the placement of "cityofheroes.com" which right now is mostly blocked by my windows taskbar. (Maybe that's an advantage...)

Thanks Jesse The wallpapers look spectacular, but having a 1440 x 900 (or equiv) option would be icing

GJ on the schwag!
