Ooh, new splash screen.


airhead

 

Posted

I am not in the closed beta for i21, but the Beta client is on my NCsoft launcher, so I start it after every update just to see if I'm in.

Well, after today's 200MB patch, this screen greeted me:



The screen is the same even if you run the game using -cov or -uiskin 2.



Note to mods: in the past, we have been allowed to discuss things in the Beta client that are still accessible to everybody, such as costume changes.
This new splash screen can be seen by anybody who has the Beta client installed, whether they're in Closed Beta or not.

This is what 3700 heroes in a single zone looks like.
Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!

Poor Recluse - he and his spider friends are getting pushed aside in favor of the loyalists as the main enemy for the heroes to fight - the devs really do hate red side

I'm getting two vibes off that image.

"I'm gonna hug the **** outta you!"

"CAREBEAR STARE!"

I still want to know why a BCU is such a menace to States. Either he forgot to slot his Alpha, or someone in the art department reaaaalllllllyy must hate Jack.

i think the BCU/ACU/9CU are pretty cool looking, other than that no idea why they would be a threat to states lol

Since States is an Incarnate, I'm still waiting to see what his Lore pet is.

It's just symbolic of the loyalist menace that heroes have to fight

If a BCU is all the menace they can muster, I've got an SO'd Trick Archer who'd be more than happy to stop the invasion single-handedly.

It's just to set the general mood for the post-GR game world

Aww man, another light colored splash screen?
You really want to kill my eyes huh?

And did we ever get an answer as to what's wrong with State's face? I swear he just looks... you know!


 

Posted

Yeah, that's a fail. States would send that robot thingy to the moon. To the moon, Alice! Do you hear?!

This also ties in with the new streamlined starting location choice - Primal Earth or Praetorian Earth - although there should perhaps be some indication that red side still exists

I believe the term is Derp face


Especially on the current splash screen on live, he looks positively derp in that.

It says Freedom. Dom is short for Dominator, all the nod redside needs.

Historical evidence suggests: Positron.
