The option that was easiest to redesign to fit the changed layout based on player feedback won.

Bah, then why even have a poll in the first place?

of course my character is a carnival ringmaster who can turn into a jester and a tiger, so I can't complain much about not fitting a superhero theme

Option 1 por favor.

Yep, and we know how well things will go on the next poll.


H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50
Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster
CoH in WQHD

85+% Option 1
14+% Option 2

What do we get? OPTION 2!

Why bother having the poll in the first place?

A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

Behold, a solution as elegant as it is timeless. As you can see, my copy of Photoshop was abducted by miscreants but I think the point is clear and I give Zwillinger my permission to use the new design at his leisure.

Reread the thread - this isn't option 1 or 2

The orginal 2 options both had ManBearPig and the Tummynator to the sides of the forum - but player feedback pointed out that both designs didn't work well on smaller monitors, so they had to scrap the whole idea of chaarcter pictures down the side, and make a 3rd option, which was similar to the existing Statesman banner - that meant they had to use cut down versions of the more dynamic poses, as cut down versions of the standing poses would have looked weird because they were designed only to work with as side images, unlike the fighting poses which were designed to be used in several ways, just like the Statesman and BCU fighting poses.

That's right!
Those dastardly tyrants behind CoH...
Suuure, they might let us come up with themes and designs for costume packs...
And they might let us pitch powersets and zone revamps...
But we see their real evil at work by going against this poll's result!!
Rebel! Rebel!

This is a slap in the face!

You heard it from GG; people standing is weird.

Seconded.

Both characters look much cooler in the one we didn't get.

Which we voted to get, mind you.

Make a banner using only the top halves of the 2 standing poses.

My PhotoShop-Fu is not the best. In fact, it downright sucks. I leave it to an actual expert in the program.

Why do you need the whole top half? The heads work well. (Warning: really crappy photoshop job.) NOTE: I horizontally flipped them to face the logo instead of the feeling of turning their backs on the logo.

Their bodies could even peek out from behind the forums via fancy CSS (although I don't have a lot of faith in Seattle's fancy CSS department, to be honest).
