Are my screenshots not good ? Or are they so great they strike everyone speechless?!
Or do people just hate screenshot threads in the screenshot forum? :P
I like the dynamics of the first one, even with it's overglows every where... and the Rikti charging down the hall is good too. The others are a bit dark. As for no replies, who can say? Nice graphic card btw...
lol Well thanks 
All those green glowishness-es going on is the result of emps spamming heals. xD They seem sorta darkish I think because of the an....anti.....a-whatever filtering and bloom effects turned on during in-game night time (you can see the street lams turned on in the heavy one), but I've gotten used to it.
Strangely enough this is a what, 2 1/2 yr old computer and I've just now gotten the cajones to bump up graphics to the max and found out it actually lags me LESS (thank you Bill for the message you said in PinnBadges, turns out it happened to be the same for me too ! XD)
The screenshots are good, fairly clear to see whats going on. I didn't comment it as I've seen the event or screenshots of such a lot. Cant' say for everyone else though. I've just been on the invasions to the point that I see a screenie and think "oh cool a Rikti invasion" but it doesn't jump out at me much. Kinda like a STF or LGTF now. The screenies may be great, and chances are they are, but it doesn't grab me as the first few times have, unless there's something about them, like a certain angle or something I haven't seen before.

Huh.
I totally missed the graphics level in my original scan of the thread.
I'm also pretty sure I've never seen a Rikti bust out a giant axe on me before! I'll have to look out for that the next time I go into the giant lagfest in the center of a zone again.
Very nice shots! I'm envious of your graphics card (and processor, most likely).

I know what you mean about that ! You can only take so much of the same thing over and over. That's why I tried to pick out the coolest looking screenshots.
The first one I picked because of that Gravity controller's power that summoned the flying dolly being launched through the sky, along all the other things going on.
I think the focus of the last one, to me, looks best when you look at the Portal Corp sign. It looks pretty cool illuminated at night like that, and the screenie looks to be a little tilted in angle (I wish it were even more to really push the focus on the sign).

Heh yup, I'll admit as having two gravities to 50, one on either side, I'l never get tired of seeing Propel, either in game or in screens.
Hmm yer right, I didn't notice before the last screenie is kinda crooked, maybe due to the invasion itself, kinda adds more feel ot it. The Poral corp sign liek that does look bright. Reminds me of the Portal Corp signs in the Portal Corp maps in the last 4 or so mishes of the Quaterfield SSTF.

Greetings Heroes !
As you are aware, the Rikti are invading our already less-than-peaceful Paragon City. The Rouge Isle Vanguard branch also reports Rikti activity.
You must be prepared and know your enemy!
The battles with Rikti will be most chaotic, thus we will provide you tips on combating the enemy. Be on the lookout for Rikti Drop ships, which will attack the city by dropping Rikti bombs. To assist in the battles, our Vanguard HVAS will be available to assist in battle. It is futile to attempt to attack the Rikti from within their homes, so we need all our forces focused on the invading waves. Your main goals are to hold back the waves of invading Rikti and rescue any civilians from harm's way.
That is all, Heroes. Now get out there and save the world!
