Please please please double click by your subject line on this page and include a spoiler warning.

Other than that, I adore these pictures and you for posting them. Things are looking magnificent. Your captions also rock.

Interesting. And purdy. Belladonna's costume still looks very similiar to her Night-Widow uniform, which seems to imply that Night-Widow was in charge of creating the uniforms for the female faction of Arachnos.

Which side Vanessa Devore is on and other character placements. Aside from that, not really.

But we've known about the Carnival of Light since before GR was even thought of - and BV has been known as a Resistance leader since Hero Con last year

Not eveyone will know, so I think anything storyline related should be marked as spoilers, just to be safe.


Always remember, we were Heroes.

Meh, not a big deal to me. Just a vague note. I'll focus on loving the pictures as they are. I will now proceed to look for a very specific character...

None of you screenshots show the beautiful starts at night.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

"We" isn't everyone. We all know that "someone" gets killed off by "someone else" in that "one game" when you finally find "that thing", but if I told you who it was before you had ever played "that game" you would probably be irritated at me.

That said, I would think they'd stop scrolling down after the first screen shot...

Is the underground really that dark? Or is it a screenshot artifact?

There's a reason I put the charcter shots at the bottom

It's quite dark in some places - but there's also quite a lot of lighting in some of the rooms and tunnels.

Excellent shot composition here GG!



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

All that shot needs is a follow up shot showing a hoarde of ghouls closing in on her.

Heck, I bet Dark_Respite can make an awesome movie short involving that.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Kinda sort of...

The underground zone(s) are dimly lit in places.
GG's Pics are good representations of the zone(s)

NOTE: While the Underground is considered one zone, it is split up into 3 separate zones. One below each of the above ground City Zones: Nova Pretoria, Imperial City, and Neutropolis.

Thank you for the time...

You don't know them. You know them too well to believe that you know them.

I think it's my favorite screenshot I've taken so far - because it shows off the lighting, shadows and reflections of ulta mode pretty well, plus it makes me look quite badass

That's very cryptic - does that mean you want to see Tyrant?

My favorite pics are from when I managed to get under the map and get angles we never see. These two are the ones I kept because I thought they looked the coolest.

Do you have some more pictures of the enemy groups?

So I can copy their cost- I MEAN admire the new artwork?

There's something I don't see in Praetoria that I see all over the Rogue Isles and a lesser extent, Paragon City:

Wasted polygons and textures.
