I'm actually in the middle of working on a follow up to my first one, which might not need too much tweaking - I've actually planned out several more to expand the intro to the game world, and feature some info on some of the bigger plot elements like the Paretorians and the Coming Storm - so technically, the intro comic is set before the Praetorian invasion and zone revamps anyway

I thought your comic used a fake background anyway? There's no where near that many buildings behind City Hall that you see in your comic... *shrug*

Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

It was a bit of both - but the style of the background was still more like the current buildings rather than the new ones we seem to be getting in I21 - a lot of brick and fewer windows, compared to the glass and curves of the revamp.

I promise to keep my mouth firmly shut in future....sorry GC fans but I do liek the idea of the new tutorial. It just sounds a little bit too like the intro area for a certain other super hero game....but then again, it'll have the CoX playstyle and look and feel so that can only be a big improvement.

You can relax; I have your answer at last. She usually goes by "River", but also answers to "Fred". (She's a Whedon fan. She is not, however, a Vahzilok fan.)

(Yeah, one of my characters is, in fact, meant to be the awakened spirit of the Gemini Park creek. A pic.)

Dyne_, maybe you can have her go villain or rouge, saying that she's NOT happy with what was done to her park. (Love the toon and concept.)

Perhaps have her go fuchsia instead.


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.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Sepia. For the time travel angle.





And a very obscure reference to a show that only had two or three episodes (translated from nihon-go "all the good colors were already taken!").

Heh, possibly.

So they are really going to destroy my favorite starting zone? That's about right for where this game has been going lately. Incarnate trials and now F2P are making this a game I don't recognize anymore.

ETA: Yes, I know they're joking, the joke was just that painful.


Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.

When you see the facelift for Atlas Park, you'll hardly recognize it either

So is Atlas Park getting this wonderful "comic book" makeover too? I'd love to see them trying to have a costume contest while being attacked by zombies or alien spaceships.

But that's the same as now - Rikti and zombie attacks happen in the current atlas Park all the time

Lol not 24/7.

I don't see the point in preserving the current Galaxy City in Ouroboros either unless they are gonna do something cool like letting us go back in time to meet Galaxy Girl, the Regulators, previous incarnations of the Freedom Phalanx, or other heroes from the past like Atlas or Talos, etc..

It's because they don't like to totally remove content from the game - it's why the old Positron TF is still available from Ouroboros

I did. June 9th was my natal day...

You all know this is the change to the starting Tutorial for Red/Blue side right?
Both heroe and villian wannabes will start in GC and make a moral choice where to go next. Bye-bye Breakout/Outbreak hello GC.

That's correct.

Mercy Island was created with the specific purpose of tormenting anyone dumb enough or crazy enough to want to create a villain, and hopefully deter them from that path before they get to L10.

I'm embracing this change.

It shows a more in depth immersion into the lore imho.
