Hang one, one step at a time SMILEY

Very cool indeed, is the female version their fedora or another hat?

Also, yes, that chopper is very un-millitary.

Sounds sweet!  Hoped there was a lvl50 version.

But im confused ,

"His combination custom-weave fedora and bandana "Patcher's Headgear" "

Is there a hat version to or what??
#36300233335 05/09/2007 17:22:45 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007
Oooh I like the combination. Too bad I'm nowhere near lvl 50. Glad to know that I'll have something to do when I get there, though.

Anyway, that helicopter is...odd. Maybe problems arose from removing them, so they just changed the model hehe.

#36300233354 05/09/2007 17:43:41 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007
Hmm... is that item... a fedora and a bandanna put together? Interesting..

Though the actual patcher buffs aren't all that great. I'm not a fan of the healing radius.. more for the actual healing..

I think Rarebit said he was looking to make the Area Heal just for teams.
#36300233360 05/09/2007 17:50:56 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007
I'm confused too, do you get the combination item or what?

I wasn't talking about the Area Heal restricted for Teams thing (which I still don't think should happen).

I mean, when I heard about clothing to help patchers, I was thinking "Whoo, Healing Bonuses or Healing Points!"

Not "Whoo. I can heal farther. Yay."

It's just a wee bit disappointing..


#36300233363 05/09/2007 17:57:10 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007

I am predicting that everyone on Vector (Not just patchers) will be wearing this item. Frankly it's too buffed. The 33 dmg resis on 3 different resistances coupled with the 10% IS regen.... Well that is just insane! Even though the Sakura has 15% i'm sure alot of players are willing to give up that 5% for the resistance.

Is the Sakura bandana a thing of the past??? Hmmm...

It isn't IS Regen, it is IS Cost Reduction.  Personally I would rather have the Regen but then again I wear the Yuki SMILEY

Now, some will wear black (Sakura) Others will wear White (This Patch Dana)

That is a sweet helicopter design.  That would be cool if those types of copters would just fly around all over, without any specified path like the Generals do. 
#36300233380 05/09/2007 18:17:01 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007
Helicopter? .... Oh. I figured that was the blank model used when the texture hasn't loaded yet.

Uh... isn't that what it is? It just looks funny if that's actually a new model.
#36300233410 05/09/2007 19:08:21 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007
Oh wow, that hat looks awesome, looks like it's got a design on the fedora, too bad you can't see it in closer detail SMILEY
#36300233417 05/09/2007 19:12:34 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007
can we have it without the hat plz?????

I seem to remember some people asking for a hat/bandana combo a while ago.  I'm always impressed when a lot of little details like that come together to make something new and awesome.  I have the feeling I'll be getting this little number for a lot of my characters, the only thing I'm curious about now is what form the lowest level version takes.  Nice job Rarebit and Co, just be careful you don't step too far towards 'end game' items. 
#36300233463 05/09/2007 20:41:13 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007

when is this comming out?

#36300233481 05/09/2007 21:07:12 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007

Yeah, the chopper's just bugged, texture hasn't loaded.

So, the level 50 version's the bandana with the hat? I'm guessing the third (low level) item will be just the hat?

Why should they implement items that enhance healing damage? AOE heals are overpowered already, no need to provide more fire.

And no Star, that isn't a Generals helicopter and the texture has loaded. It's the one Rare used for the MxOROFLCopter. I wonder if we see these flying around anytime soon.

Maybe the General needed new copters.  Anyhow, everyone say hello to the new hat/combo that will be taking over more heads than smith.

Most people are level 50 so we do need more end-game items.

#36300233572 05/10/2007 01:43:41 Re:Image Retieval - May 09, 2007
A bandana and a hat at the same time  - coool! This looks to be a popular item and I can't wait to get my hands on one, though it'll be a while yet before I do.

Hmm, we've seen a level 40 item and now a level 50 item, do I dare dream that level 30 players will be able to participate and gain their own unique item...possibly those cool shades fumigator was wearing?
#36300233576 05/10/2007 01:57:47 Image Retieval - May 09, 2007
It's already been confirmed that theres a 30 version.

It's also been confirmed they all take up the hat slot (unless rare changes his mind) so i wouldnt get ya hopes up for the shades.

Those in that pic were just Effie's Shades anyway so it will be easy to replicate it unbuffed as they are avainable.

Maybe I used the wrong term here.. I don't want to see every level 50 running around wearing Seraphims, Area K, Patcher 'Dana etc all looking like identical little lemmings.  While I have nothing against level 50 content in itself, I'm against certain items being so much more powerful than others that nothing else is ever worn.  And i'm not saying this item steps over that line, I'm just reminding our Dev team to keep an eye on it.

I think this is very much the opposite, some will go for the IS regen and the Sakura (Black) Dana.  Those for Resistance will wear this White Dana, with a little IS cost reduction which I dont think is as good as regen.  Id do think the going rate for a Sakura Dana will be taking a big old dent though SMILEY

Meh Ill use it for whatever is yet to come. But I hope we can all at least get duplicates and not only get one and once fully broken its gone for good. Hope we can get another if it fully breaks like the Pandora Box missions just need to do em over again =/ But It wont replace my Commando Beret. I bring that in with style =P. But if the IS Cost Reduction does help out. Ill bring a new thing in style for sniper's =P

Awesome - I wasn't too bothered about the shades I'm just glad that I can participate and clog up my inventory even more with special items! It'd be nice if these quests were available to soloists too - I finally levelled up to 30 so I could do PB only to find that all the guards are l36!! I know the aim is to encourage team play, which is fine by me, but it just means it's one more thing I can't do at the moment. So anyway, it'd be nice if I could just do this quest and get all the benefits from it without having to assemble a team or level up a few extra levels.

I guess I should just do more team play, but since I like to take my time over missions I fins most players tend to whizz through without me, leaving me behind checking if there's a hackable computer or taking screenies of the new NPCs or information!
