Naaaah, that was already given out with the take away of the live events and the killing of the CYPH and EPN organizations as supported groups, don't you think?

The return of the old style female gi?  Excellent, though I don't get why it was taken out in the first place.. especially now that we're getting it back anyway. *shrug*

I'm hoping that we do get the white boots and white stockings too though.

As for the guys?  I don't know.. that pic seems silly enough that for some reason I can't help but want it to be true.  I mean, we already have wireframe accessories and gloves that emit lasers, plus with the (justified, IMO) uproar over the pants having been removed from the ladies gi...

The way I belive it went is that Rare wanted to create more content in the form of Ninja boxes but the only outfit that would work for them was the Gi and instead of using up a model slot creating a new Gi for them he just changed the old Gi model replacing the pantless with the panted.

I wonder if he reinstated these possibly using up that slot he didn't want to use anyway because there isn't a lot of models left to use anyway, and running low on ideas for Winter items (White female boots, and tights, will hopefully be added.)...

I knewn it from when I first saw this thread!!!

this is going to be hilarious.

Now I wonder if it will be like the female model that removes the look of pants, or if it will simply be a jacket.

... I can't decide which I'd like more.

At the moment I'm still not convinced that it'll be an actual item for guys (even though it should). I think Rare made it in jest.

If it is though, he's spoilt the surprise for a truly humorous IR...

I want those glasses on the Male Bathrobes model. It's been an NPC clothing item for years, and it makes me rage we don't have it by now considering all it is, is a retexture of the same glasses that are available to males/females.

In other news, hawrightbathrobes. The Matrix Experience just got better.

The only shades of that model for female RSI's are the Awakened Shades aren't they?

I think so, but hey the model exists at least on the female side.

Very true and I agree, those shades with that texture would look good for male and female RSI's.

If were going with the male short robe, then might as well go for the arseless chaps.  And 70's porn moustache RSI pills.

hahaha

LEATHER arseless chaps, I might add. Leather cop hats also.

I didn't see why they needed to be taken out in the first place.

Are they tempory or like last years winter shirts can we keep them once we've farmed them? I'll be alot happier if it is the latter

:: sings:: Young man.. theres no need to feel down.. i said.. young man!

muhaha

Why does everyone think we cant keep them? last I remember every winter event we got to use the items all year round minus the holiday disguises.

Well if you're gonna go that route, you might as well add a contruction worker RSI pill, an Indian RSI pill, and a cop RSI pill (with Jim Dangle short shorts)!

Correct.  You can use them all year.  Halloween masks and Winter masks are the only things that expire.

Speaking of Winter masks, it would be nice to get another besides the Lady in Red and the Holiday Helper.

Also, there will be one rare item per gender, that you get from the ruby snowflake.  Last year it was a red shirt and a red coat for males.  Looking forward to seeing what the rare items are!  I think I have a ruby snowflake left over from last year

meaning that you can only get these items at this time of year, not meaning they will be taken away after the holiday is over.

As far as I'm aware they were changed mainly due to the Ninjas using the Gi models which required pants and Rarebit not wanting to use up another model slot decided not to make a Ninja only Gi model. However, It seems he recently thought that using that model slot by using the old Gi model for these limited items was a good idea, and for the most part, judging by the reaction, it was as a lot of people were upset to see them go. So not it's not a brand new model, but it's more content regardless. Of course thats all down to my limited understanding of the database and models etc...

Oh and he said the old Gi's were skanky.

I have no idea why you thought last years Winter shirts were only temporary, I still have my red shirt and use it whenever I want so basically...

yeah, what they said above.

I'd also like to helpfully remind people that these are not just the same ol' gis we had before. When Rarebit added the pants he also remapped the model with a much more detailed texture graphic. So these are the old gis with the newly updated, better looking surface image <3

YAY RAREBIT!!!! HE LISTENED TO US!!!!!!

I knew there was that possibility, but because it wasn't made clear wasn't totally sure if they are just availible during the chrimbo period or not.

What? All that means is the only time you can get these items is during this event; which can then be worn whenever through-out the year.

So in essence, Rarebit does not like the look of pantless Gi's due to leg exposure. Rarebit then removed said Gi's and replaced them with same gi's + pants. Some raged some dealt with the new change, yet Rarebit goes with the change despite how the people who raged expressed their opinion. Now Rarebit slaps the tag of, "brand spanking new" to something that we've had since day 1 that was only removed from the game not but several months ago simply because, "Rarebit felt like it." and it was probably more convenient for Rarebit to do since the content was already there instead of actually having to make something new before his winter break.

Oh, he listened to us, oh so indeedly.

I also wanted to add that I've always wondered why Rarebit shys away from changing the stats on certain items while stating that said items are overpowered in his eyes as in the eyes of many others because of the reason that the community might react badly, thus causing more trouble than it's worth. Of course, he's all for completely replacing a clothing model in the game without regarding how the community might have acted.

Funny how we have people who disparage and mock beta veterans who are unhappy with massive, systemic changes like an arbitrary org requirement of 50 to access content that they had worked to gain access to over multiple years and then had arbitrarily taken away from them for no reason (calling them lazy freeloading noobs); and then turning around and complaining over something minor like a piece of clothing.

I would assure you that the people who disparage and mock people that think being a veteran of beta actually makes your opinion more dignified, could care less about the Gi when it was or how it is.  It's just how suddenly getting the old gi through recycled content which seemed a little more like a lazy pass by Rarebit as something to say, "new content for winter holiday update" and suddenly that's a personal victory to those who complained and whined constantly during that whole "Gi" phase.

Well said sir..

Well the IR said it was one of 6 new items... (possibly 3 Male, 3 female) don't you think Rare may be building up the excitement about some items rather then starting at the top.

I don't recall Rare saying it was new content and although it was out before and was changed, the fact that you can't find them anywhere else now, makes them unique.

These may not have been taxing to do or think of, but that doesn't mean that the other items will be the same.
