    wow! nice wings! i love this game, just seems to be getting better and better! anyways, nice pictures, all of them. anyone knows when I9 is realising?

  • CelestianCelestian Member UncommonPosts: 1,136

    So are those the wings you have to be subscribed 15 months for or are they ones you can get when you create a character. I enjoyed the game off and on but not enough to pay for 15 months when I only played 4. Certainly not going to come back for wings if I actually don't have access.

  • sacreddaykilsacreddaykil Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 396

    90% sure its the one from veteran rewards..

    *btw, where is the I9 Q&A?

  • rehdjacrehdjac Member Posts: 2

    Fortunately then you are 90% wrong. The article which accompanies the above shots states that these invented wings can be used by level one characters.

    Same with the vet rewards wings. you can wear them at level 1 also. I'm thinking they meant that anyone can wear these wings and don't need to qualify for the vet reward to get em.

    Oh right, thanks for clarifying that, I didn't make it clear.

  • shozikushoziku Member UncommonPosts: 95

    Oh, I was finally able to view the screenshot of the wings above. Them are new wings, must be the crafted ones. Kinda gnarly and ragged looking though. lol, must be for the villains, heheheh.

  • sacreddaykilsacreddaykil Member, Newbie CommonPosts: 396

    oh, sry for misdirecting info then.
    so what you said later was, you can wear the one you craft, but the other wings you get with veteran rewards (like angel wings) can ONLY be unlocked by getting the actuall veteran reward?

        The very cool thing about CoX is you can be a bad looking good guy or a good looking bad guy. Lines often are blurred.

    My favorite charecter I play is a Vampyre called Rhasfugal. Now to understand Rhasfugal is to understand insanity. He was

    Joker for kings, made a vampyre.. LOL not your typical vampyre to say the least! Ah.. how I miss CoH and CoV..

    The only game which could draw me away was Voyage Century. I'm just a sucker for ships hehe.

    ok definitely to get the vet reward wings (angelic/demonic style) you need to be a 15 month subscriber and then any and all of your heroes (doesn't matter what level or how old or new) can wear those.

    But, the new crafted wings... They haven't released enough information yet on them to say that only those that have qualified for the vet rewards can wear them or if anyone can, either gifted to you or crafted yourself. I can see quite a stir happening if just anyone can wear them. It'll make the 15 month vet reward feel kinda cheap and not worth reaching for any more.

    To clarify:

    The Wings showcased in the screenshots are wings that can be crafted via the upcoming inventions system. While they can be used by a level one character, they still have to *craft* the wings first. Plus, the Angel/Demon wings granted via veteran rewards  (Which are not shown in the new screenshots) will *NOT* be craftable via the inventions system, and are usable when creating the character.

    Umm, I think you're the only one seeing semi's. Where do you see a semi?


    Edit: lol ok I saw the semi in one of the screenshots. I guess if you're transformers minded it may remind you of those but in this case it's doing what semi's do... making a delivery.

    I thought the same thing at first. But then Optimus is based off of a very generic 80's semi. Why a generic 80's semi appears in COH/V is a different question.  I can't quite read the license plate on it.
  • Der_DeSDer_DeS Member Posts: 3
    The it's a veeeeery big coincidence that it shares the exact same color scheme as the classic Optimus.

    And having a clockwork in the trailer seems strangely fitting.



    We'll see what it means soon enough :)



    Edit: Damn i wish the liscence plate was readable

    Well I guess transformers will sue them. The case will be thrown out. (Just cause it looks and acts like the truck doesn't make it optimus). And then in a year they buddy up with cryptic and announce the Transformers MMORPG to be made by them.

    The license plate reads "OPT 1235"...or it might be "OPT 1357"...I don't remember if they skipped the 2 or not...but basically it's OPT and prime numbers.

    There was a thread on the official site, and the artist responsible said it was indeed an homage to optimus
