No word. Every time you ask about beta dates, the devs kill a kitten and push back the date by a week.

Not asking about beta dates, just...there hasn't been a patch or any kind of real news for months. It's like they have forgotten about this game. I'm like more info on everything.
Ultra mode, the only thing I can see is that it only updates lighting and shadows. Was hoping they revamped the engine for better models/textures to make the world and the toons more life like rather than just making shadows and reflections.
One of the hardest, *hardest* things about Co* is the waiting when told of new stuffs.
The second hardest is the realization that indeed... it's not right, and won't be fixed anytime soon, and you'll never be able to play it the way you thought you would and planned for...

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

You do know that this is City of Heroes, not Champions Online?

They said "CO*", not CO. Note the asterisk.

CoX or Co* refers to "City of Heroes/Villains".

For months?*blinks* We already know that we'll get a new update and Dual Pistols(for thos who preorder GR) in March, with a few fixes and new things in that same update*points to Dual Pistols Open Beta forums for Patch info*
We just knew about i17 two weeks ago, and we already know that GR will most likely come out on July, and i17 also has a date as far as I remember.

On Friday (IIRC) there was briefly a 'closed beta' ultra mode section that hadn't been created correctly and was visible.
Its pretty likely the Ultra testing will begin early next week from that little hiccup by on of the Community team

If you're referring to the thread with the screenshot of the guy standing in Ouroboros, that was not Ultra Mode. That was an artifact (or feature) of ATI video cards.

Nope. It was a beta forum section that had been set-up but someone forgot to lock down. It was visible for maybe 10 mins tops.

Personally though, I can't wait!
I do happen to have a great gaming computer .. I play CoX with every graphic option, bloom, etc. set to max. Doesn't even hiccup, and looks great .. but it still leaves me wanting more. It's a sharp looking game .. especially considering how long it's been out .. but a facelift would be fantastic !
Definitely looking forward to trying out Ultra Mode ! (Hmm .. I wonder if they did any updating to the PhysX support for newer vid cards? Now that'd be a nice surprise!)

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I really liked the dirty touch of this maniac mansion.

That's not a general texture overhaul of the textures and NPCs in the game though - just a couple of PI story arcs |

City of Heroes = Game based off of a fiction comic book series. Why would you want it to look real(er) than it already is? Just curious....
PS. On that note running on water would be nice

The majority of people that really care about graphics either already have a computer that can run it, or are planning on upgrading soon. There's always gonna be people playing on older computers, no matter what game we're talking about, and any new graphical updates will most likely pass them right by. This is why they're making Ultra Mode instead of Ultra Standard.| I know not everyone is excited about "Ultra Mode". I've seen posts from people who say their computer is an older model and/or simply not capable of any really good graphics. |
My computer would be on the older end of the scale, and a laptop, so there's not much I can do about upgrading without buying a new computer, so I'll most likely be unable to see the shineys, but that doesn't mean I'm not excited about it happening. 6 year old games need to be updated graphically when the hardware dictates it if they want to be 7 or 8 year old games. Whether you can take advantage of it or not, Ultra Mode is a good thing all the way around.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

i pretty much agree. not buying a new video card just for what looks like shadows cast by a sun in the sky, and shiny water. I really don't care that much about either. Now, if they release Praetoria screenshots and show VAST improvements Ultra Mode could have, and it's just there's only so much you can do to 'upgrade' an old zone...|

I'd be much more excited for a Costume Creator overhaul, to bring it more in line with what the competition does. Asymmetrical pieces, 4 colorable sections instead of 2, sheaths and gun holsters for the love of Dual Pistols...get the costume devs to work!
