    While there's no mention of it anywhere in the notes, CO is switched to monochrome and players get the "Dark Champion" perk after login. Probably it is Cryptic's version of a joke :)

    (It looks really nice though. Have a certain Burton's Batman vibe, since it ain't simply a black and white switch, the sky is dark and cloudy too, etc.)



    Yeah just checked it out. The launcher has a couple black and white aspects, then the first loading screen is black and white. Was just a tiny bit sad it didn't go further than that!

    It does go further, but as it turned out (logged in with multiple characters to grab the perk) it is location-based. Namely, they just did Millennium City, and even there only the "outdoors", so if you go in to the club or the academy, that has normal colours.
    But of course MC is the largest zone, and during FoxbatCon most players are there by default, chasing down Foxbat... maybe Cryptic was lazy, or "cost efficient", doing only that monochrome.
    edit: My bad, probably i wasn't patient enough in the morning, or it wasn't fully patched yet. Now all zones have the monochrome change. Lemuria looks amazing this way... sometimes it still takes 5-10 seconds after zoning in the first time to apply it, but apparently now it is everywhere.


    Actually even MC has its limits, if you have aerial travel powers, or a vehicle, and you fly high above the city, near the "ceiling" of the zone the colours switch back to normal :smiley:  and when you fly back down a bit, it turns into monochrome again.


    edit: in the meantime the notes appeared as well... https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/champions-online/news/detail/11127103

    Anthem is adding prestige loading screens to the ingame store!



    I heard in an effort to make loading screens easier to tolerate, players will now receive a free loot box during loading screens which will grant different amounts of XP as well as other things.

    And as a convenient service to players, default loading screens are being replaced with ads for Doritos, Mountain Dew, Oreos, and Red Bull to help players make intelligent and healthy snacking decisions.

    Corsair's Game Launcher good idea, NVIDIA R.O.N spokesperson looks like a bad clone of Linus from Linus Tech tips.

    April Fools is part of toxic patriarchal chronological hierarchy and is extremely problematic. This site propping up this divisive holiday that encapsulates every -ist and -phobia is problematic. I hope the SPLC and MoveOn end tell your sponsors about your problematicisms. Jokes and pranks are hate.

    The corsair launcher launcher was the best and most relatable by far.  It's coming to that point.
