Techwright Posted March 11 Posted March 11 When did this go up? I admit I hardly notice billboards anymore (got tired of that Chris Whatshisname lawyer), so it may have been years for all I know. Spotted this one behind and a bit below the Skyway hospital. I must admit, it's quite clever! 5 2 1 1
Turric Posted March 11 Posted March 11 That one has been there for years, but I am pretty sure it came about with Homecoming. I remember seeing it for the first time in maybe early 2020 and wondering the same thing. It is possible though that it came out before sunset, as I was not playing much back in 2011 and 2012. But I am pretty sure I have an old screenshot of that billboard in the 2005 to 2008 range and it was different. 1

ZorkNemesis Posted March 11 Posted March 11 That existed long before Homecoming, it was on Live servers. I have a screenshot on my Steam profile dated March of 2012 where I found it in Skyway City and made a snark about it. 3 Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.

eiynp Posted March 11 Posted March 11 There was a contest way back when to design new billboards and this was one of the outcomes of that 2 1

I left the OG game in 2011 to get involved in the very long closed beta of Firefall. When the buyers of Firefall, The9, finally made their last bizarre trashing of their own property (for reasons I don't understand to this day). I tried to return to OG CoH only to find it closed. I can't explain the last 4 years in Homecoming, though, except that I really don't pay attention to the billboards. (Except Capt Kraken in Talos, but that's 'cause I leap over it on one of my appointed rounds.)

(Except Capt Kraken in Talos, but that's 'cause I leap over it on one of my appointed rounds.) It could easily be a case of this particular billboard being in Skyway City, which is a zone that is very infrequently visited for any reason these days. A good amount of 10-20 content prefers Steel Canyon so there's almost no reason to go to Skyway unless you're looking for a Synapse TF or running old old contacts for some reason. I hardly ever visit Skyway myself and i'm very much a traditional solo player. 2 Currently playing on Indomitable as @Zork Nemesis; was a Protector native on live.
Chrono-Bot Posted March 12 Posted March 12 It's from Live! It was part of a playerbase made billboards initiative. Another one I remember is the zombiecare or whatever it's called billboard that faces the tram in King's Row that came from the same event. I am @Chrono-Bot!
