Dunno. I do remember COH cracking down on things afterwards, and rightfully so. Do we want take the risk of thinking every copyright infringement we see is an employee of " Company X"? Not a shot at you (apologies if it sounds like it), I just know for almost 5 years a lot of us have had the "servers and forums are down...oh crap, is this it?" feeling enough times to be cautious. We're overprotective, but with reason.

I thought I'd read it somewhere..

Early in January 2005, Marvel sent NCsoft screenshots of characters it claimed represented copyright infringements, but apparently NCsoft had suspicions that Marvel itself had actually created the heroes it submitted as infringing content.

In a move I’m sure no one expected, NCsoft asked Marvel whether it was responsible for the heroes it had submitted. A month later, Marvel did indeed admit it had created the heroes it alleged to be infringing in four of the images submitted with the complaint

So, no, playing COH and running around as XSpiderManX with a dead ringer costume will not make someone at Disney/Marvel be glad for the free advertising. It'll just make them release the hounds...on us. If any of us sound like a broken record, it's because we remember the past when Marvel came after COH on live and would rather not poke the bear. 

Wasn't it some Marvel employees making Marvel characters on CoH back in the day?!

Either way, I imagine playing CoH and creating similar characters would help inject some "needed" interest/funds back into Marvel & DC etc..

It's definitely made me pick-up a few comics recently

I do hope more people use this thread to post AI artwork rather than using the art-commissions one

I drew my character..

Kiri Otoshi - Brute/Claws/Invulnerability

She's a kind of crossover between Wolverine & Electra Assassin

Make sure you have the appropriate chat channels added to your chat window. I'd have to check but they're named something like "NPC Cutscene"

 

 

Edit: Checked. It's "NPC Dialogue" and "Cutscene Captions"

Thanks, I'll give it a try

If you refer to speech, then no.  Comic speech bubbles communicated the story, just like in the comics.  Some cut scenes have sounds like explosions, as I recall.

I'm not seeing speech-bubbles either. Just characters waving their arms around and nodding etc, as if they're supposed to be talking. I'm referring to a few missions but the one that sticks in my mind is the one featuring Veres in Kings Row

I've fiddled with my audio settings but I can't seem to get them to work unfortunately

"Board Transit" missions require you to go to a train station or a portal that allows to travel to other zones. For your case I'd imagine you are in atlas park, go to the train station (Marked with a T on your map) and the mission will be listed as the first destination at the top of the list.

Thanks, I can continue now!

[Where's Manticore?]

I'm on the mission 'Rescue Manticore' but I have no idea where to find him. It only suggests 'board transit' on my compass.

I've searched the maps but can't seem to spot him on any either.

When I click on contacts, Twinshot - who gave the mission just says that we need to find him (great help she is!)
