OH COME ON MAKE IT HIGH COLLAR!!!!!

It may be a recoloured version of the other Merv reward, but that just looks sexy.
#36300346074 10/31/2007 12:57:14 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
its nicer than the Red one IMO. But /meh...

#36300346075 10/31/2007 12:58:16 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
Disappointing, but I won't knock it until I see it game.

Fits pretty well, on second thought.  Approval.  Much approval.
#36300346087 10/31/2007 13:21:37 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
A bit disappointing on the recycled factor, but happy about finally getting the black version of this coat.

I can understand why some would be dissappointed at this being a recycled texture of sorts, but the black looks way better than the red in my opinion and is worth completing the archives for.
#36300346091 10/31/2007 13:29:56 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
Heh, with the Zion pants already revealed, people still thought we were gonna see something brand spanking new? I don't expect to see any 'new' clothing items, ie. clothing that isn't already in the game, for Machinists but am still looking forward to it.
All that said I have to agree with Proc, I love the black. While the female version looks like black leather the male version could almost look like black sued or dull black leather, although its probably just the lighting on it.
#36300346092 10/31/2007 13:33:09 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
Who cares if it's recycled.  I've been asking for one for ages. w00t w00t.
#36300346094 10/31/2007 13:37:52 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
That is awesome! I cant wait I've always wanted a black version of the coat.

Well, not me, but I do know the demand's been there forever. Still, I'm surprised its another coat - can only wear one merv item at a time.

 So far, the arc rewards are decent, but not spectacular. I'm still hanging on to hope for an awesome agent suit for machines - they did break the usual Zion-Mech-Merv pattern after all.

An "Agent Suit" is just a suit, that's slightly green, and has a tie clip.  Seriously.  That's not special.  At all.  The black suits are close enough.
#36300346099 10/31/2007 13:43:55 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
I think it looks awesome, thought it would have been nice to have a dfferent item of clothing so you could wear both merv arc awards at the same time, this still looks very nice.  Now let's just hope Zion doesn't get another beret and the Mechs some other kind of glasses =P

Good lord, no!

It's pure black, with a white undershirt, and tie clip. The black suits available to us now look completely different.  Besides, the *exact* same argument applies to the Zion/Merv rewards - they already look similair to existing items.

No.  Only smith had a Black Suit.  Fail.

Er...why no collar?????

Other than that, not too bad.  I probably won't bother getting it, as I already have the red one, but I'm sure there are people who love it.

Agent suits darkened to Smith level for chapter 8. Fail.

YEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

I've been dying to get my paws on this coat. The red one clashed with my green hair so badly, I couldn't wear it!


Wow.... I actually have something to look forward to in MxO. Go figure. :D
#36300346116 10/31/2007 14:05:01 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
Smith's Liscense plate? IS5416.

Isaiah 54:16?

See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc;

Black smith.

Also, yeah.  It's been said many times that the agents' suits are slightly green.

EDIT: *CENSORED* is up with my text coming out black, and not reverting to default, ever? Guh.

#36300346119 10/31/2007 14:07:22 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
I was talking about the MXO Agent suit - which is indeed black, if you turn off the green filter.  At any rate, there are currently *no* female suits in existance ingame - Pace's suit as the female variant would solve this - leave the Captain getup for a quest, or something.

Not bad (even if "Hum déja vu"SMILEY but I would have preferred to see a black leather coat like Shimada or a coat similar to the Merovingian's coat.
But the best will be a gas mask !

Also with Pace's suit it happens to be one of the many "One body type only" items meaning that unless they found the suit for the two other body types then a Female Agent suit aint happening.

I'm betting on shoes to. We need some black Lucians anyway.

#36300346132 10/31/2007 14:26:03 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
I've still got faith that Rarebit can work within the limitations of the system to make it work.
#36300346140 10/31/2007 14:43:45 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
Very very nice... not sure I'll grind for it, at least with my main as I already have the red and love it quite a bit, but it's a beauty of a coat none the less. 
#36300346145 10/31/2007 14:50:45 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
I wish the flames had a more metallic or silver color instead of a shinier or lighter/softer black. But it still looks sexy.


No, black suits aren't at all the Agent suits. Texture's different, color's different, shirt is white, there's a tie clip. It's a lot better than the current machello suit.

#36300346209 10/31/2007 16:56:00 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007

As inclined as i am to get it, and as much as regardles of what i say i know i will, i really hate wearing anything that everyone else around me is wearing, drives me nuts about this game. Custom code crafting, a man can dream.

Likewise. The actual Blood Noble coat that the NPCs wear has a highcollar.
That alone would set it apart from being "just a recolor" of the red version.
... Not to mention collarless coats just look silly. SMILEY" />

EDIT: Actually, it looks like the female coat has the proper collar on it. So it's really just the male version that's currently inaccurate. I wonder if it can be changed this late in the development period, though. Hopefully.

All the rewards are duplicates of NPC items. Black/red doesn't exist. Thus, giving it to us would be a bad idea. 

Merv things that are cool that do exist, yet we don't have?

Blood noble shirts (both genders), blood drinker/drunk clothing (all of it, both sexes), ALL lupine clothes, a lot of the demon army clothes, Succubus dresses...etc.

It is entirely possible that these items of clothing are one body type only, similar to Pace's suit. If, however Machinists gain access to Pace's suit in this update then that means that either the models have been found for the other two body types or Rare has managed to alter them. This would leave the possibility for those types of clothing mentioned being available in the future.
#36300346260 10/31/2007 18:53:15 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007

I would still love to see Seraph's coat be an arc reward SMILEY

Also, when did it say zion gets pants!?  What do they look like?  Linky please!

#36300346261 10/31/2007 18:54:29 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007
If I remember rightly, when the Area K was created Rarebit had to play with an existing model in order to create versions for other body types and genders.  It's not impossible for single-version items (like the outfit of the Suits gang) to be adapted to our six basic skeletons, it's just a lot of tricksy work.  Seeing as how he's left the Machine reward until last I think we might be in luck. 

Oh, and isn't that someone else's sig you've got there Croesus?

Even though it's just a recycled version of the red coat, it still looks pretty cool regardless. This would match well with the new black Hosh-Chaps. I say we get a recycled Commando Beret but in black for the Zion reward. SMILEY

Although, I think I'd rather see Vesuveus' coat as the reward instead:

I remember when the Demon Army one first came out. No one could see the design at the time because there was no "gloss" filter enabled like we do have now (also it was a high collar).



If anything, I'm for:
*) The REAL Blood Drinker coat with the high collar
*) Giving players an option to trade in their existing demon army trench for a "official" demon army trench v2 (the real trench you see them wearing)

This would be kick *CENSORED*, but thats just me.

#36300346349 10/31/2007 22:11:25 Re:Image Retrieval - October 31, 2007

All those would be cool to get, but having something that even NPCs don't have would be cooler. Hence, no recycle content complians.
