Hello! A great new costume creation feature would be to put a back-and-forth arrow by the two colors that are selected on the color palette. The arrow would allow us to switch places of color 1 with color 2 and vice versa with a single click of the arrow. Thank you!

I also experience this. It happens to me mostly when I am creating or editing a costume slot. It shows the colors I chose when cycling through costume options, but, when it gets to a certain point in the cycle, the colors change to almost black and almost white without my permission for them to change. I would love this to be fixed so the colors only change when I choose.

Ok, I might have fixed it. If it is still telling you you've already filled out the form, it may be a caching issue. Could you try a different browser? If not, please email me any more entries you would like to submit: kikajess @ gmail . com

Hmm...I'll try to reset the form or something to reset it

Yes! Monday is the big day! I will ask people if they give permission for their entries to be shared with the public. I hope they say yes so we can enjoy the submissions as a community. 🙂

I'm looking for a list of practical service items that should be included in a base built for convenience and buffs. If there isn't one already, I'll make one. Thank you!

I love these tips. Thank you!

That sounds almost too good to be true. I'll give it another chance. Thank you!

I've stopped getting the Mission Transporter because it has never, ever, not one time, worked for me. Is there a secret trick to it? I'd love to know!

Shorter bios fit into the 1023 category. It simply has to be less than 1024 characters.

The main reason I started this contest was because I am frequently annoyed at how much editing of my story I have to do to make it fit into that little 1023 character description area. I figured other people might have bios longer than that, too, they might like to share. That's who I am targeting. One of the parts in the legalities section of the rules and guidelines state: All work submitted remains the contestants' property. We will not claim rights to any writing or images entered into the contest. We will not share contestants' work with any other parties. We will not publish contestant's work. We will not use any of the contestant's work for financial gain. Other than having the contest in game, what could be done to make this more reassuring I'm not after people's writing? In case we do more writing contests in the future (which I hope to), how do you imagine a character description contest would happen in game? Thank you for your feedback!

Character count for this contest will be counted by a word processor that counts things such as an apostrophe as the singular character it is. Because of this there will be a bit of wiggle room when comparing the character limit in a word document to the character limit in the game's character description area.

There are three categories: 1. Hero biographies (1024 - 5000 characters): 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places 2 Villain biographies (1024 - 5000 characters): 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places 3. Best biography 1023 characters or less (One winner only) Partially why this contest exists is because of how quickly those 1023 characters are eaten by our supers' stories. But we also want to recognize the possibility of packing a lot of story into such few words.

Whichever you consider to be your best one, whether it is fresh and vigorous, or wise and weathered. Also, you may submit more than one, but can only win one prize.

Extra points if your bio was written while "doing your business." (j/k that's not a real thing)

Yes. Starting March 14, entries may be uploaded on the webpage: https://tinyurl.com/biocontest The contest is being promoted early to give people time to flesh out their entry. I'll make the entry site more obvious. 🙂

New Toon To-Do List If you logged into City of Heroes for the first time, made your first ever character, materialized into the game, and had no idea what the crack was going on, I highly recommend reading these following guides before reading the New Toon To-Do List: The Complete Newcomer's Guide to City of Heroes: Starting Out with Your First Character orI Just Flew Into the City, and Boy Are My Arms Tired by Robotech_Master Simple guide for newcomers.
