With Issue 23: Where Shadows Lie, we'll be rolling out a new look for the City of Heroes website and forums. I figured that since so many of us spend hours looking at the forums, why not let the Community have a say in what the skin of the forums will look like?

Take a look at the options below and be sure to cast your vote above!

Option 1

I like #1. Yeah, #2 is more dynamic, but I like the poses better in #1.

Plus, #2 overemphasizes Skullcrotch McCrotchyskull's notable lower body feature.

When are we getting the female costume pieces of that costume? I really like it!


Thanks!

Meh.

Option #1 for me since it has more detail for Shadowhunter.


 

Posted

I really want those gloves/mask of hers!

Number 1 for myself as with the poses i feel that you can see more of the details on each person.

Edit: Plus she does look more her actual age in #1 thanks to the facial expression.


@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

It's really ... blue.

Why not both as an option? vBulletin does allow for multiple skins to be available to users.

Everyone is going to see number 2 all the time the way it is, as it is the new login screen with issue 23. Because of this, I am voting number 1.

Also, hopefully next time we can vote for staying logged in longer between browsing sessions. >.<

I prefer #1 as well. Penny just looks better in that one, and Shadowhunter looks like a teddy bear. A big evil teddy bear, but still.

Penny looks weird in both. I like the action portrayed in #2 but Penny just looks silly. She looks less silly in #1 so my vote goes there.

From those two, I'd have to say #1. However, I'm not really keen on either of them, to be honest.

I voted for Option 2 because they're actually... doing something.

Though I'd prefer it if it actually looked like superheroes doing superhero things. *cough*

#1

#2 has too much goofy face on the right.

Penelope Yin is a Signature NPC. Players generally do not get access to Signature NPC costume pieces. So, "signs point to no."

I like #1.

I don't always need to see heroes/villains in action poses. Sometimes I just like a nice clean pose.

Rest assured, they're both good skins, but I can't help but feel some concern of this rapid phase out of Statesman when I believed it was said some things would be kept in his memory feels a bit ill timed.

Not only that, but you seem to be pushing poor Penny harder than her mother did during labor (Assuming *SPOILER* Vanessa was like any sane woman any wanted the kid out when contractions started) and between her being said to be the world's most powerful psychic (though apparently downgraded in the upcoming SSA to ONE of the world's most power), her recent promotion to the Freedom Phalanx, the completely unique costume which no player has anything like (besides hair and face), and unique powers, and again, the pushing of her onto the players, you may yet end up with another situation like Statesman.

Now the truth is, I DO like Penelope Yin, but if you keep putting her in front of everything else (I mean she has nothing to do with the Nightward, much less Shadow Hunter who pretty much makes only a cameo) then it may draw some feeling of resentment even from me, and then your third SSA at this rate will be "We're killing Penny."

Anyway though, to give an answer, I kind of like 1 since we're basically going to be getting 2 as the login screen.

Totally.

(I'll talk to the design team and see if we can't get a red layer put on with saturation turned way down so we're getting a subtle red to complement the fora body. No promises, because I'm not sure how their schedule currently is.)
