That time for the CC is criminal (at least for me), midnight on a Sunday 😅 Any chance of NOT having both costume contest exactly at the same hour? That may help some people to participate at least in one of them EDIT. Or maybe, not on the same day of the week (ie: Saturday and Sunday) And of course, thanks a million for all the effort! The above would be just icing the cake 😄 This. Also having both on Sunday makes it impossible for people who work Sunday evenings to take part. Still, everything you folks do for us is awesome and appreciated, even if we sometimes whine to try and get our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momentarygrace Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Congrats Homecoming, congrats City of Heros devs old and new, and congrats to all of us who love this game/our Home! I already love the event! I love the winter event presents, so this is great, plus variety of ambush spawns, keeps it fun, and the old school ones are awesome! Love having some old 'friends' show up to help! Looking for this - I'm the kind who needs it spelled out - how long is the time capsules event running? Is it all month (May)? I looked but didn't see when it ends either in the announcement or today's patch notes - how long do we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today (April 24th, 2024) marks the 5 Year Anniversary Homecoming's first shard (Torchbearer) coming online. It's been an incredible year so far, not the least of which was Homecoming being granted an official license to host City of Heroes™ earlier this year. While that alone is cause for celebration, this year also marks the 20th Anniversary of City of Heroes (which is officially observed on April 28th). As such, we have numerous festivities planned! New Annual Event: Anniversary Time Capsules May is the month in which we celebrate City of Heroes' Anniversary. This mainly involved a new annual anniversary badge, but we wanted to go the extra mile this year. We are introducing a brand new annual event: Anniversary Time Capsules. Starting on Tuesday, April 30th, these time capsules will begin appearing all over Paragon City, The Rogue Isles and Praetoria. Within them you'll find a range of goodies including some brand new vanity pets, new temporary powers, new badges, new temporary costume powers, Anniversary Tokens (which can be used to acquire most of these rewards from Luna in Ouroboros and Echo Plaza), as well as some additional surprises from the past. Of course, a new anniversary badge will also be available this year: Reunited Be sure to check out the patch notes on Tuesday, April 30th for full details! City of Heroes 20th Anniversary Q&A Next up, we've invited the original City of Heroes team back for a special Anniversary Q&A. These members of the original team will be participating: Melissa "War Witch" Bianco - Lead Development Producer Christopher "Back Alley Brawler" Bruce - Senior Animator/VFX Artist Floyd "Castle" Grubb - Powers Team Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney - Powers Team Hosun "Black Pebble" Lee - Brand Manager Keetsie "Tunnel Rat" Braz da Cunha - VFX Artist Kevin "Freitag" Callanan - Community Team John "Protean" Hegner - Designer / Writer Phil "Synapse" Zeleski - Powers Team Stephen "Rockjaw" Reid- EU Community Team Sean "Dr. Aeon" McCann - Designer / Writer "GhostRaptor" - EU Community Team C.W. "Pohsyb" Bennett - Programmer "TheOcho" - Community Team "JLove" - Senior Artist "Fireman" (aka Bass_Ackwards) - QA "Hero 1" - Designer / Writer "Manticore" Designer / Writer "Dark Watcher" - Senior Programmer Head on over to this thread to submit your questions before 11:59PM EDT on Wednesday, May 1st. After that we'll begin gathering the answers to post up later in May. City of Heroes 20th Anniversary Costume Contest! Finally - what would an official Homecoming Event be without a costume contest? Well, we'll be hosting two contests (one on Torchbearer, one on Reunion) towards the end of May, with several members of the original City of Heroes team joining us as guest judges! This will be an anything-goes (within the confines of our Code of Conduct) costume contest with no specific theme. Bring your best costumes! When? Torchbearer: Sunday, May 19th @ 10:00PM UTC (click to see 10pm UTC in your timezone - the contest will take approx. 1 hour) 3:00PM Pacific time 6:00PM Eastern time 11:00PM UK time 12:00AM Central European time Reunion: Sunday, May 26th @ 10:00PM UTC (click to see 10pm UTC in your timezone - the contest will take approx. 1 hour) 3:00PM Pacific time 6:00PM Eastern time 11:00PM UK time 12:00AM Central European time Where? Echo Plaza. Heroes and Villains can reach Echo Plaza via TUNNEL Teleporter, Long Range Teleporter, or Pocket D (Truck near AE section). Prizes! Due to event taking place on a limited number of shards, the permanent golden title will be applied to a character of player's choosing on any shard. The overall best costume will win: A permanent golden title: 20th Anniversary Costume Contest Winner The Fashion Victim Badge 1500 Prismatic Aethers 50 Anniversary Tokens The runner-up best costume will win: A permanent golden title: 20th Anniversary Costume Contest Finalist The Fashion Victim Badge 250 Prismatic Aethers 50 Anniversary Tokens The 4 runner-up costumes on each shard will win: A permanent golden title: 20th Anniversary Costume Contest Runner-Up The Fashion Victim Badge 100 Prismatic Aethers 50 Anniversary Tokens Please note that multiboxing during these costume contests is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification and prizes being revoked. Finally, we'd like to extend a special thank you to the community - celebrating 20 years wouldn't be possible if it weren't for each and every one of you! See you in the city! Not seeing the Patch notes for the Anniversary event. Q: Where do Praetorians redeem their Anniversary tokens? Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
