Yes, the word on the street is that the Distinguished Competition is about to go ftp. And that's really all I know, other than that their forums are a-buzz about it. I'm not paying all that much attention because free or not, I STILL can't figure out a way to beat that guy from another planet's sister [or whatever she is] with the game locking the door behind me and throwable/interruptible barrels standing in for inspirations. So ftp will do me no good.

They say it will happen in less than a month. And yes, the outdoors environments are really something to see, esp the beginner's zone; but I like it all gothic anyways. Indoors looks pretty darn good too; too bad their you-are-here-type maps are sub-par.

Wish there were a way to take the great in that game and the great in this one, and merge 'em. As for that other game that starts with the third letter in the alphabet, I have no idea if its ftp or not. I simply could not log out of that one fast enough the one time I tried it, and never had an urge to go back.

I think CoX characters are more beautiful than theirs, no two ways about it. The run their characters use is simply far beyond ugly.

With that said, comparing CoX outdoor landscapes - even Praetoria - to the aforementioned ones is like saying that the Hope Diamond and a five-cent ring out of a gumball machine are equivalent in beauty. Ok, if you say so. But unfortunately the Hope isn't the synonym for CoX outdoors, if you get my drift.

Yes, the comparison between the two is that extreme.

I have a character for whom a blood-trail would be very appropriate as well. However on test I quickly saw that the aura in question was disgustingly similar to a trail of menstrual blood when colored red. Needless to say the alt in question isn't wearing that aura. Not least because he's male.... I think that the aura appearing to flow directly from the crotch area is unattractive, no matter what color the aura is. I dont want an aura that even remotely reminds me of certain bodily fluids or.... well. You get my drift. I think a flow from the wrists, elbows and knees only, with footprint-trail included would have solved the problem nicely without getting all biological about it.

*snicker*

I get the opposite feeling re the beast pack; I see very few people using it. Also, this is the only pack where they stuck NPCs wearing the pieces in Pocket D, as if to say "Look....!"

I'm on Guardian and we have a well-known Tank on the server who has Tiger heads [his toon looks very nice too]. He is the only one I can remember seeing regularly wearing pieces from this pack! Sad. Also play on Virtue and dont see it much over there, even.

This pack is the only one I never bought. I even bought the Party Pack when it was on sale once, because my female alts wanted the dance emotes.

that said, I am enjoying the Steampunk pack a lot and am looking forward to whatever we get next.

This sounds like Incarnate armor to me.... but that's just me.

...They sure got me to delete my Kheld in double-quick time, is all I can tell you

I do, at least the female ones. We finally have someone wearing some decent red lipstick. This matters because although we can sort of apply it now, in order to fit all the female face models the edges are blurry and indistinct; you have a red blot that only covers part of the total area.

This is why I have yet to use the female organic face; makeup looks stupid on the lips that face has.

I really hate those ice shields worse than SB, esp. since everyone seems to be coloring them pink now.

I am not sure why everyone is assuming that we're going to be talking to an actual *bird*. Is Ghost Falcon in Peregrine an actual bird? I doubt it.

If I was walking to the Shard from Atlas I might take one. You never know.

Shh don't tell anyone, but I would do a lot more than go talk to an NPC to avoid this problem. I would fight Trapdoor, Ebil Honoree and that Vanguard punk Honoree pals around with in the Incarnate arc all at once, to turn that **** off.

Take a jaunt to turn that off? Hell, I'd Walk from under the Atlas statue to the far end of the Storm Palace WITH NO JETPACK to turn it off. I'm down with it, no complaints here. Thanks Devs.
