Pride comes to City of Heroes Rebirth! This is the start of a new but humble event that we'll be running during most of June. During the Pride event a rainbow will appear in the skies of Atlas Park, Cap au Diable, and Nova Praetoria. Anyone who logs into the game during the event will receive the Proud badge.

• A rainbow will appear in the north sky of Atlas Park and Cap au Diable as well as in the east sky of Nova Praetoria.
• As you watch, the colors of the rainbow shift and change. Astute observers may notice familiar colors in the mix...

Testing Guidance

Testers please verify --

• Does the rainbow appear properly in the sky?
• Does the rainbow ever disappear? Please note time of day if so using /citytime
• Does the rainbow ever become too bright, too indistinguishable, etc?

Known Issues
