Anyways since its been a month since Paragon Studios got its name, shouldn't we be getting its logo on some of the loading screens and stuff? O.O

Yeah there is still Cryptic logo on loading screen, too. I hope we can get new loading screen with GR.

Also welcome to the forums.

the cryptic logo will probably stay as even tho the game is now owned by NCsoft and developed by paragon studios it uses the cryptic engine. that's also probably why the cryptic logo appears on the new GR web site

Since it takes so long to load a zone, /signed.

I'd put the blurb from the hazard zone guys on the relevant loading screens, but that's just me, I guess.

Little bit of a bump for this thread with the addition of asking for widescreen support for loading screens (along with similar support for the login screen, server-select screen and character-select screen).

I'd prefer black space down either side of a loading graphic to a stretched image of the place I'm about to load into.

Especially with regards to the login screens; its a bit like having a beautiful house where you have to duck to get in the front door and the ceiling in the foyer/entry hall/atrium/whatever is 4'6" high.

I'd like to point out that it does NOT show here in the forums. Only Paragon and NC's logos. I do expect that their "contract" to show allegiance for the original code will expire at some point though, and frankly it's been almost 2 years since the handoff. I wonder if it'd be "soon".

This. More "true" widescreen support would be nice. I wouldn't mind a 16:10 stretching a 16:9 screen, mind you - and yes, multimonitor screens would still stretch. But they'd look better than whta they do to a 4:3 screen (which, TBH, looks odd to me now - I had a monitor go out and got a temporary replacement 4:3 screen. Everything looked "wrong" again after all this time. )

Unless we get a significant change to the underlying engine(s, depending on your definitions,) - that is, enough to define it as significantly original and different from what the game was developed with - I'd expect to see the Cryptic logo for some time to come.

For the zone loading screens, they honestly need to be completely replaced and given a little consistency (And the Blueside ones need to do away with the WordArt >.>), along with:

Login screens? As they are, I'm not too fussed about who's logos are on it, really. On the whole they could do with a spit-shine too, and maybe a new "dual" one (Heroes AND Villains) too. But that's just me, I guess. >.>

It does surprise me there's Cryptic Code in GR. Sure there's code in CoX, but the actual code limited to GR only?

Also, they could do something way cooler than just a static loading screen. They could stick your character on the screen doing all sorts of emotes/powers while loading, or some information screen displaying information about a zone, a villain/hero group, AV or something. Sure it would increase the cpu load I guess, but hey, other MMOs pull of "seamless" zones with just a few seconds pause for loading.

Considering how small the game is and how little is really loaded I'm surprised how long it takes to load, unpack, initialize, whatever...

so.... /signed
