 Female: Pace's suit

Merv: Shoes

Male: The Merovingian's shoes (like luciens but dark black instead of brown)

Female: ?

Nice Lovin` these pants, my only beef with collecting tokens is this.. Why don't I get them the first time I complete my cricital

Yeah, that is true, but we still need space for the arc tickets and tokens at the end of it all anyway... plus we already do get reward items at the end of completing crits. 

*vicious tears*

dont get me started on email space...

I'm a bit puzzled about what you mean by the items gained at the end of the crits. The only (usable) items I've ever gotten required the tokens... after each chapter.

Oh, well I'm not sure, never really noticed. Are you sure its not just loot you've picked up along the way? The only time I've gotten an item for completing a mission is on the 'Meet Agent Gray' Criticals and then the mission tells you to make sure you have space in your inventory.

I'll have to test it out on the next crit!

Very sure it's not just loot  " />  I generally recycle everything I get as soon as I pick it up unless it's something I want or will be selling on the market so my inventory (or at least the few spaces I save as "open"" /> stays pretty much empty all the time.

<3 all this new stuff, Rare. But however, i know 9mmmmfuuuuu says it can't be done. Inverntory space.
I mean, we're getting all this new stuff and running out of space to put it. My E-mail is full of guns, clothes, items, ect.
Same with most my 50s. But, Yeah. Nice going! ^_^

Cant have a storage alt when you used your 3 slots to level characters

Um, hawk.. the pants are called "Rave Pants" - "Wildfire" refers to the situation in California - specifically why Rarebit posted the IR instead of Raijinn.

Whilst the female version do look a bit plain and could do with some zips or buckles or some such subtle detailing...

No!  The problem with female clothing in MxO is that everything has weird buckles and stuff. It's almost impossible to construct a sensible faction uniform for women.

Actually Rarebit is capable of modifying textures.  And if he really opened up a texture package, which I am sure he has the tools to do so - he could probably paint some something onto the existing maps.  It's his personal artistic style that conflicts with the overall requirements of the set art of the game that come to light here.  Otherwise - he could make something a bit better I think.  There is what Rarebit likes art-wise and what the game has already in it - and  Rarebit wants what Rarebit wants - and unfortunately his stubbornness is his greatest hinderance.

Why did he change Niobe's costume in the first place anyway?  You should never change a core character's costume.  That's how you identify with that character ... eh - again ... Rarebit wants what RAREBIT wants, not what we want.  And he should really reconsider that and maybe start to change that behavior.  I don't say that to be mean to him - but he needs it.

Raver Pants are a lot wilder that that - take a look at these:

Wow - those are some funky pants!! 

Niobe's change isn't permanant - in pre chapter 8 archives, and Zion intro / graduation criticals, she still wears her old red thing. The chapter 8 ones are designed as alternates, for variety's sake... but personally, I hate her new look. I'd have prefered a black version of her old getup.

 The only retroactive Chapter 8 redesigns are:

 Black suit Ghost has a beard (but only in "present" missions, not archives).

 All agents (including Gray and Pace, excluding imposter and n30 agents) have darker suits

I'd like to see some examples of Rarebit's texture work, if, as you say, he can do that.

Wildfire edition!



 
Those completing the archived chapter 5-8 Zion missions, available when the live story reaches chapter 9.1 (scheduled for update 56), will receive a pair of sleek Zion Rave Pants--just the thing for that hot night out, when you need to look your best (and gain the benefit of level-scaling defensive buffs*).

* All the event/archive items with level-scaling defensive buffs will have the strength of those buffs doubled once update 56 is released.

I am trying to help him with my artistic knowladge about game design and texture stuff.  Instead of the normal "hire a dang artist" - because that ain't gonna happen.  Might as well give him some pointers he can use to give this sad sack of a game some life than just yell at him all the time.

 And at only $80 each!  What a steal!  Do they still owe Keanu some money?

I for one would appreciate if you just let the man work.  I'm quite sure if he wanted your specific aid, he'd ask you for it.  If you really want to take part in the design process please apply for an intern position at SOE. 

Heh, I used to wear stuff like that plus streaks of black light reactive hair colouring. Stick those flame pants on with this top now that would be fun!

Anyways, lets just see what Rare has in store for the next Org, we should see the next IR today. I'm all excited! Go Rare!

Love 'em or hate 'em, I'm just pleased to be able to read a nice, reasonable discussion without having to wade through dozens of bad puns about "bump-mapping" and "pants"

Nice job Rare--any content we get is always better than nothing.

Bump mapping isn't a pun - it's a technique in texture mapping.

Hmm - how to say this ....

It's a way of enhancing the texture of an object, to give it a "bumpy" feeling. Without adding extra polygons to the model. Using a bump-map will give your object the illusion of being textured and bumpy or have tactile feel in the "world". While not really being bumpy.

Spectrality is the lighting - the hard lighting -.O ... if I remember right ... the highlights that make something shiney.

However - there are always puns for Pants!

ELECTRO-LUMINECENT WEAR!
That's that I was lookng for!  Awesome stuff!  I want to make my own outfits out of this stuff someday!

The pants aren't that bad, but really, what'd you expect from a new pair of pants without looking like a total goober? Maybe a little somethin' like this would be prefferred?

Either way, their decent, probably go pretty well with the Area K
