Champions' Art Corner shows Golden Age costumes, new Powerhouse locales

Word of warning :

Although it IS labelled "Golden Age" on Champ's don't be fooled. Jef exclaims the basics, but it is really costumes inspired by the '90s era of comics, particularly Liefeld and Lee.

This is a bit of "fail" with me, since the 90's were something else; not sure what, maybe the Twinkie Age or the Tin Age. ;P

For a minute I thought it was Cryptic being really funny, but sadly, just a writing screw-up. The lack of a self-correcting punchline should've tipped me off :p

the new pvp arenas are the real story...

It shouldn't be news if its just new stuff added to their item shop.

It should only be newsworthy if its something they added to the base game that their subscribing customers can access without having to pay extra.

very well said..:) Anyway I'd like to share with you folks this article here: Florida lawmaker seeks to make dwarf tossing legal again, try to check it out, it's pretty interesting..:)

Reminds me of all that "Youngblood" and "Supreme" comic art. I liked some of that but some was over the top silly.

The great thing about the Champions-Online enviromental team is that they listen to and regularly communicate with us the playerbase.

They initiate official threads if suggestions mount on a topic or redux improvement that they see potential in, and regularly chat to the players about possibilities.
The costume competition catwalk came from a thread that was discussing both a new pvp stadium and the ren-centre amphitheatre which has inadvertantly become a duelling centre when that was not really intended.
A load of suggestions came forth about that and Tumerboy (lead enviromental dev) then made an official thread to brainstorm about it, and all the forumites poured their creative suggestions forth.

Can you actually believe we have a devoted costume contest area that is themed as televised fashion show with camera-men, theatre foyer, a lit catwalk with lights all around theatre edge, custom backgrounds for different themes of contest, a backstage area, a 5-seat x-factor style seated judge's panel ..... the list goes on and on.
Devoted PvP holo-arena with different enviroments such as Millennium City, Desert, Canada, Monster Island, (possibly) a water-filled Lemuria scene, Vibora Bay, Box Wars (A room filled with every weight of throwable objects), Lava Arena, and a Boxing Ring thats larger than Carlos' Gym in Millennium City.

Look at the thread and then check out the 11 screenshots on the website. Its still beta development with details still being added but it is astonishing stuff!.

Also: Sorry, I don't understand Jeff.
I don't understand the title here and people who are labelling Josh's latest art as 'Golden Age'. The wording from Brad (art lead) goes:
........................
HOT ON THE HEELS of our Golden Age costume set release, we wanted to explore some signature styles from other distinct periods in comic book history. This set recalls an era of edgy anti-heroes who went to war with crime fully decked out with weapons, equipment, straps, pouches, and more pouches! Not only does this set perfectly capture that feel, it also answers the call for more universally useful accessories which can be combined in any number of ways.
......................

Hot on the heels of the 'golden age' set we've already had.
This new art on the 'Power Up' website article is clearly labelled as '90s Heroes set'!.

O.o

The Golden Age costume pack was released a few weeks ago, and is really nice. This stuff is the "Modern Age" spoof of 90's anti-heroes. It's only concept art at this point.
