I'm getting the mirror shades for sure. I thought they had an earpiece attached on them.

Yasamuu · 09/10/2008 14:45:47

Sweeeet.

Phluff · 09/10/2008 14:49:01

Phantastic! SMILEY

I'll be getting the rose colored/clear ones phor sure! Been wanting clear glasses since day one! SMILEY

/bigcheer!!!

/scratchhead

Nicksie · 09/10/2008 14:49:24

Oh!! So can't wait SMILEY

I love glasses and sunglasses SMILEY

No wonder I love the Matrix so much!

odj · 09/10/2008 14:55:14

$10 says the name is classified because they havnt come up with one yet. SMILEY

Villemar_MxO · 09/10/2008 15:00:16

Nice glasses, but, and here is where I may get flamed, I hope this isn't another massive farm time sink that doesn't really have any relation to the Matrix. Although, at least its back in Mega City, and I hope there's an interesting backstory to these exiles.

ChloeAnn · 09/10/2008 15:00:16

Oooh. Nice :O Me likey alot :O!

MatrixRefugee · 09/10/2008 15:00:47

:: Adds to her MxO to-do list::

Get clear glasses

Tenshi · 09/10/2008 15:00:48

Oh wow, very nice.

Mathalos · 09/10/2008 15:04:59

Very nice glasses, I hope they will be effective in fighting.

Mona · 09/10/2008 15:10:20

Always great to see new items of clothing. Specially glasses SMILEY

nubious81 · 09/10/2008 15:14:21

Nice Glasses

Grave · 09/10/2008 15:15:55

Rarebit · 09/10/2008 15:16:49

System Sunglasses image for comparison.

ZaneZavin · 09/10/2008 15:20:54

I find great irony in this. The men in white suits are coming...

They come for me all the time.

Croesis · 09/10/2008 15:44:19

I would have said Quicksilver shades... but we already have QS gloves. Also sometimes I wish the Mens lenses weren't as big as they are, the female system shades and various new ones shown here and also the Voids are a great size, but the mens system shades and the ones shown here are too big for my taste /shrug

ArchDuke · 09/10/2008 16:23:46

I'm home sick today, and this IR makes me feel better.

I'm looking forward to how long the grind is. And yay for white System Suits. SMILEY

Ra2za · 09/10/2008 16:29:44

I neeeed those glasses!

They best not be called White System Suits. -_-

Btw, nice shades, I like the last pair a lot.

Edit: Might get the first pair just so I can look like a Dudley Boy. lolz

Kybutra · 09/10/2008 16:49:51

The 2nd pair and the 3rd pair are a must farm for me.

Hmm... I would recommend that we all expect a reasonably long task in order to acquire these items, since Valkyries are meant to reward only the most worthy. Certainly, this area of Norse mythology would give the devs some wide scope as to the purpose of these exiles. They might even link them to the Seraphim (since they have white jackets) and bring them in to The Matrix as part of The Morpheus Sim's unresolved enquiries with Lo Ruhamah ..?

exsuscito · 09/10/2008 17:17:31

Dear Santa,

Please make the acquisition of these new glasses a 'soloable' task.

Thank you, sir.

Cerlaine · 09/10/2008 17:21:09

Sweet. The shades look better on the female though.

Hanzyl and Gretyl · 09/10/2008 17:29:11

If this takes a long farming, I'll never get them. Even if they are cool.

Brommerz77 · 09/10/2008 17:37:28

Some pretty sexy shades there, i'm looking forward to this patch! SMILEY

Cervacius · 09/10/2008 17:54:13

I don't think the System Shades are too big, considering they were relatively that big in the Movies. And for these I think the mirrored ones are perfect.

But yeah, the clear and smokey ones seem kind of nerdy on the men. Rarebit might think that, too, but he probably can't move the texture to another set of glasses since these already came with the System Shades version on Pace.

Also, Rarebit, I thought you said 3 new glasses didn't fit your current scheme. You must have made some changes... hmm. Hopefully you'll let us know what the original plan was after we've had time to do this quest!

Cervacius · 09/10/2008 18:00:08

Hm, the Valkyrjar glasses look a lot more tidy than the Rose-colored ones. I thought Rarebit fixed the weird edges problem?

Also, the Valkyrjar glasses are misspelled. They're missing the last R. :P

nubious81 · 09/10/2008 18:21:41

wishes i could see what the buffs are SMILEY

That would be nice. That's why I loved the PB's, they were immersive and had a solid storyline. I fear though that this will end up being just another farm grind. Hope I'm wrong!

Arkiya · 09/10/2008 18:58:41

Very nice looking all-around! I've been hoping the clear glasses would become available for years. Can't wait to see them in-game!

Tesma · 09/10/2008 19:01:18

Sleepwalkers are soloable, though it takes some time. Kunoichis are more troublesome, on the other hand.

Demedrian · 09/11/2008 00:53:53

Whoever started the glasses in the first place should have welded the vertices in the very center where the nose part joins so the glare can continue in that section. Yes it makes work 100% easier by creating half the glasses then copying and mirroring but someone failed to connect those vertices to make it a solid model!

Rarebit · 09/11/2008 00:57:18

PsshhhHhhhHh... But it's so lonely on a solo farm!

Hey, guess how many NPCs you gotta kill to get that shiny gold dress?

No, you get me wrong. They are as they were in Movies no question, I just said they are too big for my tastes. For male RSI's I've always preferred the Void size (underused imo), I just meant that if it were possible to choose, I'd prefer seeing the smaller female sized version able to be worn on male RSI's. That's all I was trying to say.

As for the grind, I like the solo grinds that require some help at certain points like the PB's, because not everyone is going to have a lot of friends online all the time to help out and if the whole group wants an item it'll take a long time, unless the item was guarenteed at the end of the box/token etc...

PB Arc 4 was great because it's a solo mission that took some time but required help for the actual box spawn that doesn't take a lot of time.

Procurator · 09/11/2008 01:39:26

Very nice. SMILEY Now I can write a plot wherein Procurator no longer has to wear his earpiece.

Of course, finishing the story where he has to wear it first might help. >_>

o_o'

In any case, nice shades.

How about we guess who the Boss of the Valkyries is? I'd say Brünhilde, body type 3, no less D:

Disappointing. Not all of us equate 'massively multiplayer' to 'massive multiplayer all together in little factions'. I'm all for "Happy, happy, joy, joy join my faction and let's be friends," but come on.

By choice, I don't have a group to call on, which is entirely my prerogative and yet it's routinely penalised. Where's my content?

(And no, L2Team isn't the answer, before anyone else chimes in.)
