Speaking of clothes, the finalists for the costume art competition are up on the official forums (here and here). There's a male one with a dressing gown, which would go perfectly with the fuzzy slippers.

I hope everyone can see the pure value of the Easy Living male outfit. That one has my vote. The female outfits are all trash, unless that midnight one has an animated fabric that sparkles and fucks peoples frame rates to hell.

Edit: Of course the lovely rear end Camden High Society ones are in the lead. loving pubbies, we need to upset this vote some how. If anyone has access to the steam group, make a broadcast that we need goons to poo poo on another pubbie parade.

He has a couple going. All the stats in the top bar are from Vipers top bar information overload or some such (link in the second post), the team window changes are from Catagoricals Enhanced team gui (here, I prefer Five Alive myself which can be seen here). There are a couple other mods in that screen shot that are not being shown, namely the cast bar relocater, a deck manager, a dps meter and a monitor for friendly and hostile buffs. Links to those four are also in the second post.

To be fair, it is the most polished art/concept, to the point where it could actually be a store thumbnail. Just a shame that it's of an outfit I don't want very much.

If this vote ends up like the Subscriber Item one, though, FC will use it to gauge interest and there might be a robe within a couple months.

So if you get something refunded from the in game store you can never buy it again on that character. What the gently caress Funcom?

I am okay with the Camden one winning, votefix or not, because that outfit is sharp as gently caress. We don't have enough outfits that exude 'I am superior to you in all important aspects' like that one, which is surprising given the Templar population majority.

I voted for the Orochi female outfit, though. It's weird, but it has appeal.

The woman who submitted it is an artist at EA/Maxis, I think? She also came up with this, which I found way more appealing. Except for maybe the weird Tali feet:

Not if you played in the goon cabal during launch, Lumies were the only cabal to have any drama and in came in spades. But as far as in game references, yeah Lumie mission completion texts are fantastic, character interactions are amusing and the they have some fun unique missions.

Edit: Except for that one instance in the Templar cabal when some poo poo lord renamed the cabal after himself.

I played lumie in the cabal at launch but I also didn't go into Mumble or really pay attention to the offsite forums until August/September last year so I missed all that fun poo poo.

There is a new portal in Agartha below the Egypt path that is covered in filth, and a side mission that can be completed right there with a few pure metal. Does give some of the new third age currency though which can be spent at a custodian between the portals to NY and London in Agartha. You can only do the side mission once, but you can complete the steps after that will turn 1 pure metal into 5 little tokens.

Looking in the game files, it appears that there will be similar tasks for all four of the pure materials. Only the pure metal one is available right now.

I stopped collecting pure materials long ago and I've only got a couple hundred of each. They really want me to get back to grinding don't they? Assholes.

There wont be much time for farming for pure metals, three hours after the event started and its giving the impression that the quota is over half filled. I expect we will see other ways to achieve these coin things.

Currently-available items of note (i.e. things that aren't turtlenecks or military pants) are a new kind of Automoton pet that might hover, and hexagon bee pants that appear to be the first part of an outfit. You can't get either because they both require two currencies, and you only get one from the metal thing, but to have enough of the first currency for both you'll need to convert 560 Pure Metal. The pet is the most expensive (2500 slivers vs. 300 at 1 pure metal per 5 slivers).

Also of note: Black Bullion is officially Pay2Win. Someone who can read the pubbie forums see wha tthey think of being able to buy it via the event.

Edit: Just converted 320ish metal into points. Jesus they really know how to make things a long dragout process don't they?

Minmaxing by running straight to a QL6 blue (from the Wabanaki trailer park I assume) weapon would be my guess.
