Ongoing upgrades (1st November, 2006)NEW GALLERY!You may have noticed that the site has now gained a Gallery link in the top navigation bar. Originally I was a bit concerned about bandwidth usage of the site and so I limited the size of uploads and pictures on the forum. As I now have a better idea of the usage the site generates I can be a bit more liberal.
Sadly offsite hosting of images has
meant that some photos have been lost as the offsite hosts delete the
images after a certain period of time. I have therefore decided to
include a Gallery section to the main site to allow everyone to
celebrate their in game (and otherwise) experiences. This will mean
that your images should stay around semi-permanently (computers and
back-ups willing!). The download limits for the gallery are much more liberal (512k and 1024x768 image sizes) and this should allow the posting of any in game screenies that you may take without editing. This limit will not allow a realistic video file however. Should you require a larger limit to enable you to upload video directly please send me a personal message and I will enable this for your account. Best wishes as ever.

CITY OF HEROES: SAMPLE CHARACTERSThis site is now offering a regular feature called, imaginatively enough, Sample Characters". The idea behind this is to provide a reasonable build in the various Archetypes available in City of Heroes. It is aimed at the new player and as such the characters will all be playable, without respec, straight through to level 50. The builds provided by this site will be simply described and an indication of the type of playstyle or team role they are best suited for given. There will not be any in depth discussion of the build, as this is more properly done in the forum or through the more advanced Player Guides section of the site. Additionally, there will be an irregular spot given to a particular featured character. This section depends very much on the submissions by forum members and is discussed here if you are interested in submitting your own character for inclusion. There are a few conditions for inclusion, such as having reached level 50, but they are discussed in the thread. This section will cycle regularly between the various hero archetypes (Tanker, Scrapper, Controller, Blaster, Defender), but will not include Kheldian builds. After all, if you have already got a level 50, you are hardly a new player are you? If there is sufficient interest shown (and I have the time!) then this may be expanded to include City of Villains sample builds also. This section has an RSS feed: (Sadly the feed looks messy at the moment [Early Sept, 2006], but this is a work in progress and should improve over time) |
