Yeah, the Nemesis Staff is pretty sparkly when seen up close ...  😅

Not even remotely what I was referring to.

Excellent screenshots and posts! Been awhile so I thought I'd update everyone and see the results of this thing that I started.

 

Screenshots of Yore is my first foray into sharing a topic. Normally I just ghost around or search specific info, this time I wanted to share and invite feedback. I will be the first to admit that I am not so savy with the media and I tend to get bored easily. As a result attempts were made to hijack my topic. At the time all this was all well and good as life, work and Covid were flexing their collective muscle and things were busy. I have since been laid off, sold my house and moved to the other side of the country. Things could be better, collectively as a whole country, but I am optimistic. We will get through this stronger and more determined. In that spirit, lets post ScreenShots of gatherings and events to remind us of the good old days.

 

May this post find you and yours safe and well.

Legacy screenshots eh, I have a few of those.  Let me dig some up that I posted to Steam many years ago during the "freedom" days.

 

Here's a Hami Raid from Protector, one that didn't take 10 minutes but took more like an hour.

 

December 2011 when one of the NCSoft admins decided to give Protector an impromptu Praetorian invasion.

 

"Zwill, I asked for a pony."

 

Anyone remember the BOSS_NAME of VILLAIN_GROUP bug?  I had that happen once.  I got turrets as the enemy group, as opposed to a lot of people who reported Storm Elementals.

It's not really scenic, but I was very impressed with a fellow player's avatar in the original game. At the time, we didn't have all the costume options and creativity we do now, and I'd never seen anything like it.  If this belong to any of you, kudos to you:

Before wings and hooves were added to the game. BZB and his old sg-mate, Joshua Glass.

 

 

 

Same time period. Back when soloin hordes of rikti was considered difficult.

My first saved screenshot, 11/6/2005. We had no idea what it was, but it was purple in Kings Row and were like 'what does it do?' 'I don't know...' 'Should we attack it?' '...you first'

[CrudeVileTerror]

Hell yes, @_Kai_!

My first experiences with Rogue Robots, Banished Pantheon, Nemesis, and Malta were all in Kings Row.  Some high level players left their ambushes unattended, and I stumbled upon the remains.

And I wouldn't have it any other way!

When Capes and Auras were cause for awe.

NAKED RIKTI!

 

 

Thanks, @Bill Z Bubba!

I've missed them so much.

I saw this character when I was playing Elvis (Hunka Burnin' Love) in 2008 and it inspired me to make SO many Rocketeer-style heroes.

Hamidon coffee break!  This is what happens when you're in the Hold Phase and you don't have any Holds.

Lots of us have been using DeviantArt since way back, but today I was organizing my various favorites folders and came across these two concept pieces. Uploaded in 2015, but I have no idea when they were done. Click the link to see them full size. I’d love to see CoH using Unreal 5 or similar.

Those are incredible.  I'd love to find a bunch of the original COH concept art, now...

I may have posted this elsewhere. But this was a very early screenshot. I think circa late 2004 or sometime in 2005. As you can see - the coloring on Nemesis and his staff was originally somewhat different - a sort of gold/silver look. I know the later and now current look is more consistent with his sort of "steampunk" brass design sense. But I kinda miss this early version.
