Now that we've seen it, we can say:

A League is simply a way to group separate teams, up to 6 of them into one interface to which a League Leader has special controls.

This League can, as a whole if it wishes, do a Hami Raid which is in an open zone. This League can, as a whole if it wishes, enter an instanced raid, like the CoP.

For some instanced events, like the new BAF, those who sign up for the BAF as individuals, or as separate teams through the Queue/Turnstile will automatically be thrown together into a League as they enter the Trial. Or, a League can first be formed, and then enter the Trial as a whole simply by the Leader entering the Queue/Turnstile.

Could there be an instanced Hami Raid that uses the Queue/Turnstile? Sure. It would have to be coded to become one first, though. Then it could either supplant the open zone one or exist along with it. If that's what you want, let the Devs know.

Remember, the Queue/Turnstile is a separate mechanic from Leagues. A full League, already made, can go through the Turnstile. Individuals who go through a Turnstile wind up in a League in the raid instance.

If these were the final numbers with no other option, then my reaction would be....

That needs to be prepended to every post in this thread since these aren't Live, nor are they Open Beta, nor are they even Closed Beta numbers. The *pre*-Closed Beta is still in progress and numbers are always in flux.

I'm certainly not going to walk under any power line with a flock of bulls on it.

I agree that the ;Savage emote is out of place (unless there's a freebie simian set coming in I120). I would save it for the debut of a simian head and add in looped versions of ;Hiss and ;Sniff.



The feather Costume Changes look great because of the physics of the falling feathers. The fur Costume Changes, however, look mushy grey, more like a dirty water splat. The falling fur is just an animation which doesn't look that good. I realize the physics engine can't do hundreds of falling individual hairs, but maybe clumps of hair, like the ones when getting a hair cut? If it remains just an animation, then it need better animation... have the fur fly up a bit before drifting down.

Beast Run is cool! I like how it *doesn't* have a flip. However, it's mid-air animation is very stilted. Even normal jumping in the game has more fluid and pronounced changes in body position especially when transitioning from going up to going down. I would like to see the body be more lateral than upright in mid-jump. I would also like to see either:

1. On the upflight, a more elongated body that becomes more crouched (knees to chest) on the downflight. IOW, just like how normal jump animation works, only more pronounced. Or...

2. A more 'four-legged' mid gallop pose with the right hand and left leg outstretched and with the left hand and right leg retracted.


Beastly Rage aura is cool! Flea aura... not so much. You made the 'fleas' big so that they can be made out to be bugs, but, they're still not big enough to clearly see that they're bugs. So, they look like the exasperated projectile sweat-drops from the Kathy comic. Color them orange and they look like good lava drops for molten rock characters. But they're nowhere in the same continent as anything resembling 'fleas.' Quite frankly, I can't think of a single way this animation can be salvaged except to rename it 'Fountain Drops' and reshape the 'fleas' into drop shapes so that they can be drops of oil, water, or lava.

If you want 'pests', just take the fly aura and reduce the amount of bugs.

Or, as a substitute, resurrect the dropping feather aura that Wings were supposed to have. Add in a 'shedding' aura with physics hair.

It means that an all-female league of Martial Artists would be the League of Women Footers.

His so-called 'monthly' letter was a day too early!!!!

It died six years before its inception with the death of all collectible card games that weren't Magic: The Gathering or YuGiOh.

This ain't a Mo..TF, so, don't forget a Shivan, HVAS, and nukes from orbit. You do want that Notice, right?
