stuff!!!
I have to say I'm a little disappointed that the helmets are tinted. I cant make it black just a nasty green. And the aura seems a bit sloppy but useable. Anyway... FREE STUFF!
EDIT:
The tartarus helm is freaking sweet! It doesn't look like a bucket helm like the pic on the first page.
(note the nasty green color tint)
Quote:
Seems to me that the green is just part of the environment mapping on the helm rather than a tint. The reflection that is used in the Costume Creator is similar to the middle of Atlas Park, and so it picks up some of the green from the grassy areas. It won't be the same in most zones of the game. (I'm wrong here)|

Edit: So it turns out the same environment map is used in all zones/maps, never noticed it before.

I'm pretty sure its color tinted. I'm out of the costume creator and it looks the same as pictured above. Its definitely not black. It looks like celestial armor.

2) To bad you didn't call customer support. You might of convenced them of your loyality. But rage quitting instead won't do you any good.
3) Just wondering when your in a store and they run an ad that said free bottle of dish soap with the purchase of one bottle and this coupon. You bought the soap but don't have the coupon do you yell at the cashier til they give you a free bottle even though you didn't live up to your side of the deal?
4) now change #3 to game time with extra free perks instead of dish soap.
Awww, adorable mini-Rularuu. I will call it Scootaluu the Stalker.

I really wish they'd lower the top part of the helm just a little bit. Have it conceal the face a bit more and make the forehead unable to be seen. Right now, it kind of looks awkward.

Bug? To use Praetoria to show reflections for every map looks wrong to me.

I assume the "Paragon emblem" is really the Statesman emblem found under:
Chest Detail > Symbols > Statesman (found alphabetically)
Yes? No?
Speeding Through New DA Repeatables || Spreadsheet o' Enhancements || Zombie Skins: better skins for these forums || Guide to Guides
Yeah, that's it.
Gotta admit, I'm extremely jealous as I never expected the Statesman helm to look that cool. Not impressed at all by the Statesman emblem and Battle Fury aura. Those two both look horrible to me. I expected better after four months of time to develop it.

Sure all of these rewards have been "scheduled" to be awarded for many months. But I honestly would be surprised to learn that the aura and CCE have been finished and ready to go for any longer than a few weeks tops. Remember that we've never actually seen either one of those up until like right about now. |

Wasn't straight forward for me. Had NO idea(been unable to sub for quite some time, due to personal difficulties), and only found out about this today, when the ad appeared on the launcher. Be nice to have, but not something I'd get upset about. Hell, I don't even use auras on my characters, vet pets, or the prestige sprints. Not something I really care about, so my feeling is "Meh."

It's a straight forward announcement for 99% of the players, and that's good enough. |

I wonder if anyone has ever been offended by my hero "Asparagus-Man" because someone they know is a vegetable...?
For those wondering where the goodies are, there isn't an in-game notification. The badge was sitting in recents, and the pet in my power bar, other goodies at the tailor.

The entire thing is pretty underwhelming. And My Lord...that aura is very cheap looking. I think this is the first time I have truly complained about something after 6 years of being with CoH...

Really? I actually kind of like it. Strikes me as having a 'contained power' sort of feel to it; though it strikes me as a little familiar but I'm not sure where I've seen something similar to it before.

When I first saw the aura I instantly thought cheap. I'm glad that some like it though. The helmets are...on the female models they dwarf the rest of the body, especially the recluse-like helmet.
At least I have another badge now, LOL!

My Characters
Overall, happy for the 'loyalty' reward (eight years coming up!) but this comes across as almost like someone didn't quite get it.
The helmets are *only* helmets. You can actually used the Valkyrie/Ascendant to look a bit closer to the 'real statesman' look (half-helm over a mask), the aura doesn't look that great. The pet is about 50% too small (you can't really see how neat it is with how small it is) and the Statesman chest-logo has a non-colorable/non-tintable section.
On top of that, the Statesman helmet actually has little structural pieces attaching the nose-guard to the cheek-guard... FUGLY....
It's like they wanted some things and then didn't think that people would want to actually used them like the actual characters.
Added it to my "Charged States" character (an actual gender-bent clone of Statesman that I've had for a few years. A friend and I made a couple of these together.)
Still here, even after all this time!
Yes thank you for all the new Items,An Sorry for being a Pain gang, Got all my rewards :-), so a happy camper again lol. An I resubbed lol.
Might wanna update the name of the chest emblem, I found it under Statesman, not Paragon

To be fair, that's actually the point--to look similar to the items worn by signature characters, but remain obviously different in the end.
