Were any of you able to get a screenie of the new power pool color customization? Would love to use a Super Speed color screenshot.
I actually had customized SS on two of my chars. Not sure about other pool powers, will have to check the demos.

Need a shot to show a character defeated or grieving. It's for the "Reaction" section to show how we all felt "punched in the gut" when we first heard the news. I know I sure felt that way.
I think this one might work for that: http://imgur.com/w1Wz4wM
Or, for "shot down mid-flight" (well, jump... still fits):

We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

Here is a mockup of the layout.

This is GREAT! It explains everything, and provides excellent supporting evidence and information.  Do we plan to use this on the www.savecoh.com site at some point? Personally sounds like a nice idea to me.

Website Update!

As of now, our story is broken up into 8 sections, or "chapters" as I view them. They are:

Our Story
Shutdown Notice
Reaction
Legacy
Rally
NCSoft Responds
The End
New Beginning

Each section will expand to show its contents. For the most part the sections are done, just needing panel art here and there. I'll put a call out for them here and on Facebook, plus fiddling in Icon for the first time to see if I can create some.

The Legacy section was very content heavy and required a lot of time researching supportive articles for the various subject matter. It's a great section, though, as it concisely shows off some of the game's best features. The way everything's progressing, I may need another 2 weeks to finish it up.

We have a great blank space below the expandable sections that would be good for featuring our most current stories, videos, updates and call to action details.

Attached some screenshots of the page. We will have 2 content sliders on the right. One scrolling Top Stories, the other scrolling various Calls to Action.

Don't worry, I know this webpage is image heavy, but I've prepared the code to load the images on scroll, so it won't bog down most systems. It's built for Chrome, but also works in Firefox, Opera, and IE8+ (bleh). I'm unable to test it in Safari, though.








Sprinkled some animated gifs in there for fun :) Here's one I think you guys might like, thanks to @Brightfires for submitting. Maybe we can do some banner ads off of this concept. We could show off some powers, and use the motto, "For the love of the game"... dunno, just pondering :)

Hey, probably a little late in the game, but if you need somebody who has a major in creative writing, I love to offer my skills to look over the dialogue and stuff like that. Let me know if you all need any help!

Yes! I will probably take you up on that :)

Hello all

Sorry for the delay again for getting you an update. Had some RL stuff that backburnered this project.

To be honest, this is my first major website project - and it's quite the undertaking, but I'm still plugging away! and it's almost done! I want to apologize for not being a good guesstimator on time. I realize now a project of this size takes more than a couple weeks, if I want to get it done right.

As of now, I've purchased a domain name and paid up for a year. I've been working in Icon 1.7 A LOT getting the screenies that I have been needing. Icon is a lifesaver! :)

For the most part, the website is complete. There are some bugs that I'm working out and fine-tuning, and I'm checking off the last of my "things to do" list.

Here are some more screenshots of a couple of sections so you can see some of the progress:

Part of Legacy Section.
Part of Rally Section.
Part of Response Section.
