Hmm, is Binary Boy gonna move, 'cause it's nigh on impossible to get near him without getting killded by the local gangs atm.
I can't get the gloves/hands easily, but:
a) I could get them by the means ZaneZavin described; and
b) I don't want them.
I don't have an urge to collect every new item or piece of clothing that comes along. There's nothing wrong with these gloves, but they're not my style.
Now time for me to use my persuading powers and seduce a lowbie.
Thankfully my alt is the right level for this zone!
Robot gloves might look cool.
I hope they don't glow, or if they do only during specials in IL... (if they're an IL glove). The only thing I hate about the Quicksilvers are their glowing streaks, which looks cool for a bit then the novelty wears off when a lot of people wear them, and they glow, quite strangely, at the feet... I would have personally preferred them to glow from the hands during special moves only (but I don't think that would be possible as it seems like the glow is flagged when the wearer is in IL)
If these gloves do have an animation, I hope it's subtle... like a couple of sparkles... hmmm....

To be fair, MxOs content can be quiet sparse as it is, and at first glance it looks like if you have a higher level character you have been cut out of this content unless your willing to grind another character. (Unlike the lower level Headless or Industrial Fedora which you could still get)
But granted, we dont know all the details yet so mabey we should wait till we get more before making asumptions but if they dont give out more details, we will have to guess.
Well that just makes me want to cancel my subscription. Guess this game is all about the 50's?Lvl 18 - Recursion
Yeah, but, but... hands is glow.Correction, hands and feet is glow. I loved Cap's drawings on this particular issue and the short stab at the glow was funny as anything, the hands glowing can be attributed to the gloves, fair enough... but the feet? How? Why? Where? Huh?

And both the feet and hands glowed while using the ability? Was it an in-combat special move, self buff or something? I take it then the visual effect of the glow couldn't have been edited by Rarebit or Dracomet to just glow at the hands? I can understand the point of people wanting to see something from CR1, but in my view, someone who's CR1 experience lasted about 30 minutes due to a rubbish PC and dial up connection, the glowing at the feet is a little strange considering that the item causing it is a pair of gloves! Obviously thats my opinion, I'm not campaigning for it to be changed, I just hope that if the new gloves have an animation then it'll be more subtle and it won't make any other body parts glow!

I think it was called Power Shot?

detect vulnerabilities / energized attacksI love you.
Red was precise blow(s?). Blue was energised attacks.
There was also a green one, but it only had an activation animation - your hands/feet didn't glow with that one while in combat.
Also, they used to be fire before they were glowy lazers.


Right, I'll give $i5 to whoever can tell me which is which. Otherwise it's going to bug me all day.
Energized Attacks is the lightning bolt and Precise Blow is the Bull's eye with Arrow. Power Shot is right below Energized Attacks. I miss that move. :\

Wasn't that Hyper Strength?

*double post. *hits self*
Hands and feet is glow?Ok, these look much better than the current Quicksilver glow imo, unless the Quicksilver version is a manipulated version of this, the only similarity is the colour and the glow from hands and feet...
Blue version of what's shown above, perhaps a tiny bit more subtle and from the hands only would be cool for the 10 gloves... unless they're gloves that benefit hackers. I only say that because Hackers don't have a lot of movement abs whilst in IL...
What's the one under Precise Blow though?" width="15" height="15" />
I want to say it's Punishing Blow but I'm not 100% sure. I'll look through my old stuff.

It was a sad day when the fire effects were turned into lazers...IMO Rarebit watched some star wars movies before he put in the gloves... *runs*
Shinryu wrote:Hehe Actually, the effects were changed long before the QuickSilvers were created.. and the change was made because, IIRC, so many people were complaining that the flames weren't "matrixy" enough. And thus we ended up with lazer pew pew hands and feet, which really aren't any more "matrixy" and are decidedly less cool.It was a sad day when the fire effects were turned into lazers...IMO Rarebit watched some star wars movies before he put in the gloves... *runs*

The looks or the buffs?
Because with their buffs, all other gloves become obsolete, well, if your below level 45 that is.

Dracomet created all of the Datamining content.
I meant what was Rarebit going to nerf, the lasers or the buffs, because when Rarebit was doing the collector clothing overhaul, he mentioned that the Quicksilvers have near enough ruined the chances of any other gloves being used.

But I'd like the brightness and obviousness of the lazars to be nerfed too, but that's just me.
