Valkyrjar.. Hm. Looks really cool. Good to see it's on Downtown. We don't have any quests on Downtown, except PB.
EDIT: Something i forgot, Power Boost capability? Another pill?

Whose that???
Interesting, wonder what these will be like....replacing the shades.....or special bosses...
oh Very intresting!
Oooo this looks interesting.
Looking forward to it!

wow they are the Choosers of the Slain
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkyrie
Etymology
The word "valkyrie" comes from the Old Norse valkyrja (pl. valkyrjar), from the words valr "the battle-slain" and kyrja "chooser" (from kørinn, korinn, the participe of the verb kjósa, "to choose"
; it therefore literally means "choosers of the slain".
This is AWESOME. I am so happy to see the focus returned to Mega City with what looks like very interesting new content!!
Well as long as this isn't like Ninja's-Sleepwalkers and more like PB's,it will be awesome...
Not bad... I bet they're sweet as angels too. 
Looks really cool.
Ohhhh Nice.
Dam, Very Nice.
My interest is piqued...can't wait to see more on this.
I can't wait to find out more

The effect looks pretty cool. It's shown more in Rare's screenshot thread, looks like it starts with a pure white glow from the eyes, similar to what happened to Smith at the end of his epic battle versus Neo.
Ooh! New quest Downtown? Nifty mythic reference? New Exile contact of some sort? I *LIKE*!
White suit! /nosebleed
Oh I get it, it looks like there are just three of them... are they flying? O_O
Okay nevermind about the three thing! 
Looks like these power boosts cost some stability. Expect some ugly debufs bleh
Neat it is anyway. White + Nice effects are impossbible to fail.

Probably the only clothing I've seen in a while by just from the look of it, I want them.
Yeah, that's what I'm talkin about. Totally sigworthy.
White... suits??? :: Dies of happy and iz ded, ressurrects from teh awesome::
MOAR!
Perhaps now he's fixed the problem with the skirts so that the outfit combination will look good on body types that aren't 2?
Not that I would care, or anything. >_>
And there better be some male lovin' goin' on (besides the eye candy)!!
Also, I was really hoping for the clear glasses, but I think these are still slightly tinted. Oh well. STILL WANT!
Clearly the white suits should be respected.
As confucious say: Man look up to woman flying in short skirt.

Although I think I actually liked the non-alpha'd version better on the NPCs. Hm...

Quoting this here for comparison purposes.
Dang you know this means I'm gonna have to make two versions now.

Yeah, I like the slightly dark version for the NPCs.
Although now I want both versions of the glasses. :P
Edit: YAY! BOTH VERSIONS IT IS! :D

Uh-oh... I just accidentally made a fourth version. This is weird. I don't think I was supposed to use these settings. ;)

You would *think* that removing the alpha channel from the image and then telling the control file not to use any bits to store its alpha data would be in effect the same as leaving the alpha channel and accidentally telling the control file not to store its alpha data, but apparently that isn't the case...
AWESOME I will have to raise my shim for these.
cool effect to with a mix of white red eyes (i'm guessing) master shadow and the electricity from dying.

Pics or it didn't happen!
The new development model: Content by accident. Heh
Hm, image hosting service seems to be having a nap at the moment.

I've never been happier to be short-sighted.
Also; note similarities between these Valkyries and the Seraphim from Pandora's Box.

Weird, it only happens when dxt compression is added in. Huh. Nice thing is that it avoids that aliased edging you get on the completely clear glasses.
Let's make a few new versions of Agent Pace to model the dilemma for us, shall we?
"Nice" Pace (you've seen her before, although I have fixed up most of that nasty pixelization around the rims of her glasses)
"Dark" Pace (she's been around)
"Smoky" Pace (like the Valkyrjar in the IR)
"Mirrored" Pace
Now *three* new pairs of glasses is something my current quest's scheme doesn't fit comfortably. Hm... What to do, what to do...

So it is a quest? Or do you just use that term as an umbrella term for all methods of gaining content?
