Valentines Event
Fleeting Whisper just got a nice, clean tux from Serge. He's put away his fighting gear to get ready for the big event.
The Facemaker says Sally Lee Brown is "absolutely radiant". Sally was particularly obstinate about keeping her shades, but all was forgiven when Glenda got to play with her hair

Anyone notice that each of the "ushers" has that pointy black stuff at their wrists? You can see them well in Whisper's photos.
I played around in the costume creator and discovered that they actually have the "tied" glove option selected under the sleeves instead of bare hands. Sent in a bug report but might as well mention it here.
Is this an accident or a clue to their true nature?
EDIT: cool pics Whisper, thanks for sharing!

I have cleared out my entire Screenshots folder, and will be tap-tapp-tapping on the PrintScreen button throughout the Event. I already have a "Wedding 2008" subfolder ready to receive them when it's over, and I will be posting an Album of the best of them on my Photobucket account.

Though it still has the Trenchcoat inside/outside colors problem.

Well at least there's a workaround for that. Set colors linked and change the primary color to what you want for the inside of the veil, then unlink the colors to set everything else.

Manticore, If I make it to your wedding, could you promise me that:
1) You will never make a deal with the devil to have the marriage annulled, and make everyone forget they know your secret identity;
2) You and SP will not invade Hell and get Shalice killed by that very same Devil with his killer halitosis;
3) You will not get kidnapped by Amazons and have your previously undiscovered son shot at the end after the rescue.
Cause you know...it's all been done. :P

I am not sure i understand. Can these new costumes also be earned by doing a special mission like the V-Day missions? Or they can only and only be earned by spending real money for them?

So what is it about Valentines day and CoX? For the last three years there has been something new introduced that seems specially tailored to annoy people.
This year: a $10 package with very little highly specialised emotes/costumes in it.
Last year: The Valentines day bug (which haunts us still today)
The year before that: Costume options were made avaialble for inviting x number of people to play. (They corrected this misstep last year)

One comment, Bow Tie (Shoulders) for males and Huge already exists. If it's now available for Female characters, that would be a new addition.
And a question to go with it: My first thought on seeing these was that the jackets would be in Trench Coats, to lock out capes, but apparently, they're plain Jackets, AND there's the Wedding Veil. Is it possible for Female characters to have the Veil, Wedding jacket, AND a Cape?
[/ QUOTE ]
I have both Coat and Back options on Obsidius (Huge model).
Flapping tux tails AND a cape?!?!?! TWO capes systems on the same character?!?!?! Jay, you rock!
[/ QUOTE ]
this may have been a bug, Female toons and now if what you say is correct Huge toons can do this, but male toons cannot. If this is a bug you better get all your back details with tux in asap before they fix it.

... No it's not a bug, the only reason they can't say it's true for sure on males or Huge is that there is no veil part for the guys.

You can still go to the wedding event without spending a dime
Other than that, it's a V-Day event for your alts.
Edit: the special add for this year's V-Day event is the wedding. The Wedding Pack will be available indefinitely - but it made sense to release it during the romantic season.

True, but I could easily do a cape on my Huge character. None of the Back Options are locked. I have to wonder if that's a bug though. However, it's currently possible to do both a Cape and Tux on Huge or Female characters. But NOT a Cape and a Veil.

Last Valentines, for reasons that has never been explained, The servers began sending 2 to 3 times more infomration than normal. The net result was It would bombard slower connections to death.
The closest they came to even addressing the issue was to stop zombie from wandering around in Dark Astoria This fixed a symptom of the actual problem but failed to address it. After all. Zombies wandered around before valentines day in Dark Astoria.
It's a bug that most people on DSL don't notice unless they look for it. The problem has become increaseingly worse even for some high end users though as more stuff is added. Wentworths, A Rikti Invasion, Scrapyard. All of these can peak 16k incoming if you hit it at the wrong time.
... Never once noticed it, nor do I recall anything about it on the forums... But, whatever.

How about someone recording this and then posting up in the news section for all to enjoy?

We will have media available of the special live wedding event between Manticore and Sister Psyche (as run by Sean and Jen Dornan-Fish the real life couple behind the pair) so that everyone can relive what is sure to be a magical moment in City of Heroes / Villains lore.

Thank you so much. With only 300 people (minus those enacting it) being able to get in, many will be disappointed. Plus those of us who just won't be able to make it.

Thank you.
