From the latest producer's letter!

Quote:
No, I Mean It: As the development team’s New Year’s Resolution, we are going to be even more active with all of you through the forums, Facebook, dev diaries, and Q&As about the Incarnate Trials, Lore, and all the great features we have in development. You’ll see more interaction with the old hands like Dark Watcher and The Television, as well as from some of the fantastic new talent you may not have met yet. We’ll also be bringing you some rewards for your continued loyalty, like Double XP “Weekend” from January 27-31, and keep your eyes peeled for an announcement next week on plans for our seventh anniversary this spring.
Edit. . . From the COH Facebook page. Oh my oh my oh freaking MY!

Nice! Interesting Eagle creature you have there.

It is from the CoH Facebook page. (I should add that in an edit.) Any way looks like we will be getting more "monstrous" features added to the game.

Am I the only one who thinks that looks pretty silly?

Nope. It looks like the Swagger Soaring Eagle if he was a Super Hero.

The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?

A: You crash into another one.

Yes!

Actually if we now get 'more' realistic animal heads, I can create my Egyptian pantheon of NPCs for AE.

That and a whole avian society would make for a good AE story arc. I can see me having a good time with this pack.

That bird head may be the first time I have anything negative to contemplate about a CoH update, especially when compared to all the other costume / anatomy meshes that could have been proposed instead...

But in any case, real psyched to see the staff wanting to get even more involved with the gamer community. It was already one of the things that made CoH stand out.

Just because I said the bird thing was interesting does not mean I liked it just so you all know. I am just happy to hear about double xp

The bird does look a little silly. At least the head does. The talons could be pretty cool. Although I can't see having a bird toon, I like that is so very different than anything we have. I look forward to seeing some around. I hope that they are other new animals with the pack, too.

If I use the eagle head for nothing else, it does give me a few ideas for AE arcs.

Major T vs the Birdman of Perigrine Island

Coming soon to an AE near you!

I think it looks... interesting.

i don't know if I'd make a character like that myself but you never know.

Might want to reserve the name "Knight Owl" just incase.

Just wanted the name.

But I have to admit, T's suggestion of using this for mobs in AE might be ... interesting.

This photo was posted in the thread about the new Vanguard Loyality program.

All City of Heroes® players who maintain an active, uninterrupted account for the time period beginning Feb. 1, 2011 (12:01 a.m. EST / 5:01 a.m. GMT) and ending Apr. 18, 2011 (11:59 p.m. EST / 4:59 a.m. GMT) will receive a set of special rewards including a brand new bad...ge, a chest emblem, an emote & the Vanguard pack,
But it looks like they are teasing with a few more goodies from the Animal booster pack. The lizard legs look new. And on the far right can see a feline head.

So now the big push is on. With the upcoming 2xXP (or is it XXPP, maybe XPXP -well no matter how you want to say it.) the push is on to get my first level 50 Tank. He's gotten up to the low 40s. Actually dinged twice druing an ITF run this weekend on a team with Dev Null, Moonroach, and Janlee. (Sadly the "Sonner ITF signal" went unanswered. ) He also was the frist one to die.

So this weekend I will be focusing on getting Thorgest up to level 50.

What will be your Double XP Weekend plans?

I for one am going to squeeze in as much time as possible to get my first Corrupter to 50. If I succeed in that (he's at 45) my next project is currently at 25. I was trying to push that brute to 35 before the weekend but it doesn't look like that will happen.

Lyrina Kyton- Arachnos Widow Lvl-50 Happily
Ivan Spectre- Arachnos Soldier Lvl-50 on
The Grey Guard- BS/Sh Scrapper Lvl- 50 Protector
Ivaniva Spectre- WP/SS Tanker Lvl- 50
Bakuhatsu- DP/DM Corrupter Lvl- 45

I'm going to try and get my tank, the second character I ever created and one that has sit at mid 30s for years, finally up to 50.

Race ya to 50 Ny!


Ny, look at that, Shiny!







Now that Ny is distracted anyone that wants to "impede" Ny's progress will of course be rewarded.
