Image Retrieval December 17, 2008

After December please use this link.

Neato...piercings..

Morraeon: *WANT*!!!

I like the two under the lips for the female but the two forhead ones are meh, all in all looks pretty cool.

Looks like it will be a hat slot item, which means I'll never use it.  I would really enjoy this if it didn't take my hat slot though.

I was expecting the earring after seeing the back of it in Dev screenshot thread. The studs are interesting. Not my thing though but I'm sure some people are going to love it. It'll be interesting to see the buffs on them.

   Howwwwwwwel!!! ^_^  

.............hope they don't hurt.  o.O

Niiiiice!! 

Nice to see some unique "accessory" items, fingers crossed on a gun holster at some point.

Still, annoying to see how... hacky... it all is though, not being able to get certain items to work with different RSIs and such. Still hate the fact we flat out needed two versions of the War Sword.

yeah this is pretty cool!! I like ^^

A while back I would have said no chance as it's a part of the NPC's pant's model, but seeing what we've seen, I can actually see it happening, although it'd have to take up a slot and I'd guess the most appropriate may be the jacket slot if it was implemented. (Although I'd like to see the tool slot being used for non buffed 'accessory' items...)

I can see your point about being 'hacky' but I guess it's the limitation of the games engine coupled with the usual bit about no. of Dev's available etc. Besides, hacking The Matrix is quite apt!

Not interested.

Hm. If it was two earings I could see it attracting more folk. Not I, but more. I have no time for riddling my flesh with bolts of metal and "Talon"

Gross, how about a belly button ring for females instead?

Hmm.. Nipple rings for male RSI's? There is one NPC with them...

This...while actually a pretty cool addition...isn't something I'd ever use. But good to see the option available.

I want the level 50 item to be the Black Hat-danna

Another item I'd never use, but it's still very cool to see something like this implemented.  Perhaps the days of other jewelry items aren't miles away.

Neck crosses. DO WANT.

The only cool lupines are Dires.  Me wanty Dire Lupine RSI masks or disguises!  Anything Dire, really.

Agreed.

You're not wearing enough flair!

Awesomesauce.

I know what I'm getting for Sieges this Christmaaaaassss.

And maybe Nicksie.

But not Ebola, she won't put o-- SHE'S NOT NICE.

Ahem, don't say bad things about Nicksie, or I shall take your nuts, dip them in oil, light them on fire, and then shove them down your throat while they are still on fire.

Very clever. I like where this is going. Hopefully it's a perpetucal FX so it'll go in the tool slot, purely cosmetic.

It's not something I'll get, but hopefully that's just the merv item.

Full suite of accessory items that use the tool slot, plz.

Are these items only FX???  U could put them in the tool space and make them usefull with some buffs or resistences

Considering that we don't see either RSI with a dana or hat on, I'm going to assume that these will use the hat slot and have buffs. I'm not sure if the tool slot is used differently to the clothing slots, but having accessories enabled as perma FX with or without buffs or bonuses would be nice to see.

Theres been some very nice clothing items really like accessories and such but its a shame we cant wear them with other items due to the slot it takes up!

Good stuff though.

I miss new image retrievals... 

/tapphoot

Rare was probably on vacation for the past couple weeks. Maybe we'll get a preview this week and one maybe next week?

/tapphoot

No new Image Retrieval today. I think I'll probably have something for next week, though.

Completely forgot about the IR. Still at least I'll have something to look forward to next Wednesday!

Wait... when is the next patch? I thought it was tomorow? o.O

An update to shut off the winter event might happen on the 22nd, but that may be pushed off until the next main update.

The next main update is probably Feb 12th (two weeks longer than usual since the last main update, due to dev slacking with time off over the holidays).

EDIT: Oh yah, I should mention that since the original spec for the winter holday was to have it shut off on the 15th (tomorrow), after the servers come back up from the weekly restart, the Holiday mission will be disabled until 9mmfu can get in and re-enable it manually.

so thats an update in 8 weeks since the last does that mean we get a 33.3% discount off my next months subscription due to as you said dev slacking off time.  or a 150% more work effort from said dev to make up for said slacking off time. oh and crappy cinematics and vista bug fixes dont count. lol

I would say that Vista graphical bug fixes are entirely worthy of the the extra time if Rarebit's work on them bears fruit.

but for a Gen1 mmo thats basically on life support whats the point. and also xp is the gamers choice of operating system so if your a gamer whats the point of having vista.

Why don't you ask the people who play it on Vista? Keeping MxO graphically 'XP only' limits the amount of people who can play without some crappy graphics issue. With more and more PC's being shipped with Vista it's about time these issues were sorted out for those people who aren't hardcore gamers and as such don't want/cant afford to replace their OS with XP.

You'd have to ask Customer Service about that. I suspect the answer is "No." Let me know what they say if you ask them, though.

Fixed. It doesnt cost anything to replace an OS.

So you can get XP for free? Or do Vista users have the option of a free downgrade?

Vinia wrote:

Yep.

so its ok to have a update that only benefits those using vista. may as well i mean we've already alienated those who were playing just for the storyline and live events so why not release an update for a small section of people who cant be bothered to either dual boot or jiust uninstall vista and put xp on.  i for one run 3 os's for varied tasks and atm im also trialing windows 7 as well, i understand that there are problems with vista andmxo but i think it would be more beneficial if more work was to go into progression of the story.  case in point rarebit you seemed to have some time to jackin to test out vista bugs why not have thrown a mini live event instead.
