New loading screens?
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

It does?
...Wow.
Also, yeah, overhaul the loading screens would be nice
GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

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".

I'd expect it to not expire as long as they're leasing it.

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:
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
Stuff
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
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
