City Of Heroes: Friday's News In a Nutshell

Hey gang. I had the day off today so this is the first time I have had a chance to update the news. So here's the wrap of all of today's news.

From CuppaJo:
Thusday Throwdown Feedback!

Thanks to everyone that participated in the Thursday Throwdown on Test. We all had a blast! Post your feedback on the event and bugs here. If you have screenshots or demos please post them in the Screenshots and Fan Art section so we can keep this thread all about feedback!

Here's the thread

Thusday Throwdown Feedback Pics!!!
Vyvyanne had this to say about the Thusday Throwdown:

Sorry all, I was in untargetable mode for most of the fight (I turned it off occasionally so that someone would get the joy of killing me ) I wanted to tell ya'll that but dialog in the arena is not usually seen.

I needed to be invincible so that I could see what was going on. Not much chance of that when I am kissing dirt...LOL. (secret: I am not very good at staying alive in PvP)

My powers are that way because I made this character back when we first opened the server for testing purposes and it is easier to test with all the powers. Most of the other staff that was there had just made their characters for the event and/ or don't use them for testing purposes.

Thank you all again for the help though. The repeated unsuccessful matches that my team had were actually very helpful in finding/ solving some problems with the Arena.

He also had this to say:

I had posted in the screenshots thread but just wanted to post here as well.

Thank you all for your help yesterday!

I know communication was bad but it is very hard for 6 people to communicate with 600 all at once and try to perform tests. We have taken note of the suggestions regarding pre-event communication and are working out ways to improve the system.

Thank you all again for the help though. The repeated unsuccessful matches that my team had were actually very helpful in finding/ solving some problems with the Arena. It was as frustrating for me as much as you, trust me but in the end we helped in finding issues that the programmers can work on and hopefully have resolved soon and in the end we were able to get in at least one large scale battle. I am glad to see that at least some of you had a good time.

P.s. I promise to remake the SG and fix the colors for next time :P No more Vyv's bananas!

And to wrap things up CuppaJo let us know that the new Top Cow CoH Comic will also be available in electronic format.

Ok - Just for you Ripper - We will make the comic available in electronic format.

Well, not really just for you - but either way, we are going to make it available electronically.
