I am delighted that, unlike the image which inspired this thread, future title-only advanced searches of this sub-forum will no longer prove to be fruitless.

With the DA gate closed, Statesman offered up his crotch for you to grab whenever you need zoning.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
My eyes were drawn to the illuminated star and heroic looking bands surrounding his cape and shoulders. I think it's a cool pose personally.
I am eagerly awaiting instructions for how to change the login screen for myself since the City Splasher no longer functions properly.

Normally we get big triple Ds thrown in our face, so fair is fair to have something else.
I'm more annoyed by the lack of an actual crotch in the crotch.
Yeah, I would prefer to be able to change the image to something like the official wallpaper they have with the breaking star.

Yep, we've gone from Statesmongler to Statescrotch. Awesome, eh?
I miss my Going Rogue screen.
Dude, calm down with the gay panic. Nobody is going to think that you're gay just because your game's splash screen has a picture of guy in tights and a dance belt, shot from a low angle. Sometimes a superhero is just a superhero. Your male privilege is still intact.
City pf Heroes Freedom, putting the..crotch in CoX since 2004? (or whenever)
But seriously..it does look way better than stupid states vs generic robot minion, which pretty much everyone seemed to hate.

And this. I actually think this splash screen looks worse than the last one. At least he was fighting something. Him standing around looking like he's about to bust out an Elvis move doesn't look like an improvement. |

IMO, YMMV and all that jazz.
EDIT: Actually I prefer the GR and original screens. Wish we could get those back somehow.

Where on earth did anyone mention anything about there being a gay panic related to this pic? Or anything related to sexual orientation at all? Lack of some portion of private parts, sure. But how on earth is THAT related to orientation or gender issues?|

the robot looked great and made up for Statesman looking so meh
now we just have a meh Statesman
States has obviously been taking lessons on the heroic stance.
I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

So how do I change the load screen again?
By the way - what does States keep in those belt pouches? Cell phone? Car keys? A sandwich? Smokes? A little black book containing only Ghost Widow's phone number?
Inquiring minds want to know.

He'd have a cell phone, because we can ring him on the STF - but I don't think that he'd need a car

STATESMAN'S CROTCH!
Be well, people of CoH.
... looking at the login pic from a compositional standpoint, I could swear the thing was lopsided; the two eyecatches (despite the thread title) are the first pouch on the left (well, Statesman's right) and the glowing star. Both are significant blocks of non-dominant colour, making them stand out sharply, and the problem is that as a result of that, the eye is naturally drawn to that little bit of red-and-blue space between them.
Given that's States' external oblique/abdominal muscles, it... doesn't communicate a lot. Even less than his crotch, probably.
