Yeah, I'd still hate it. The horn is fairly obscene. Not just large, but rather phallic.

Vanity mounts, clothes, etc are fine by me...but they need to fit the game. A horny Starlite doesn't.
And this does??

There is a whole lot of ugly in this game... this is just another thing... though I probably know at least a dozen folk who will get this ASAP... some just because... others because they love it.

And believe it or not I happen to know several under 16 girls who play UO... so ... meh...

What I read was... This month, we've added two styles of world tree tiles to decorate your houses with. We'll also be adjusting the perspective of this and other circular tiles to better mesh with existing circular objects within the game world.


And that made me happy.


@Kyronix I just want to know how you found the one bit of coastline in the EC without square holes punched in it??

Lol. No. But then I gave up complaining about dyes when we got the clashing dual toned ones.

Though I kind of like Wind Azul on spellbooks... :oops:

But no, a herd of chunky maned/tailed, horny rainbow dreadhorn unicorn is just going to add to the fuggly eyesore players.

I'm just gonna wait for the outrage and strife when one gets eaten by a bug and goes Poof and the player is told they don't replace lost items or pets.
That bug already exists! Remember the Birds of Prey vanity mounts for Edon. I had a Bird of Prey it got killed and went Poof! No ghost was left to res.

Omgosh that so makes me remember the old unicorns when I started in late 2002, a snowy white horse with a dainty white horn, then they redid the art and it was this horrible gawky cartoonish looking thing we have today in both the wild and the ethereal version. I have a couple of these in ethereal form in a box but they're too hideous to use.

As much as I love dyed unusual pets and I think vanity pets for cash is a fabulous idea, this is too my little pony even for me.

I'd perfer it if it was an ethy and if it came in a choice of less rainbow-ish colors, say, a white body with one color swipe through tail and mane and possibly spiraling around a super slender dainty horn and using the classic long maned horse body, the one with the round butt (not the brown version they're too flat). You can convert to, wow i forgot what the other version of UO is called, ha. Use the new uni body style for that if you like.

Could also offer a black body version with a single color swipe of color. Solid white and solid black should also be options.

There's no sense making an item only 3 people will want to buy.

Another option is single color with paints and let us dye the single swipe mane/tail/horn area at will.

This way we may want to buy more uni paints in the future when we run out.

I'll probably get a rainbow one if that's all there is.

Keep this sort of idea coming, thanks!

:)

A Rainbow unicorn. Really?

Well this confirms me somehow that they obviousely hired some 10 year Old for Graphics, no wonders when I see he latest "artwork"

@devs we are not in a ****ing anime here.

Beside that it has a Rainbow **** on it. Whats wrong with his mouth? It looks like it has a beard ?!

Hobestly no idea what Kind of **** you are smoking. But I'll take a Pound of it.

If this is the "all new shiny Art" you want go keep people playing and getting new people you should do your math again.

Holy ****. We are not in ****ing Disney Land

I think what Broadsword is trying to do, is to get our children and grandchildren interested in UO. They are trying to keep the game going to have a 30th anniversary.

Ok no really! Can this mount have special effects. Like when you ride it your completely blue, and random messages pop above your head with cool little care bear phrases. When you say trick can a rainbow start to
Form. If these are ressable with bandages at any skill level. I WILL ride these around to pvp on.

If I was still 12 I might like it, unfortunately I'm not 12. I honestly thought this was a joke, but I guess not... I wish they had kept unicorns looking pretty and not changed them to those ugly muscley-looking things. :(

For sure, no PVP'er will mess with you on that lol. They'll be like "leave that noob Care Bear Trammie alone" hehe :p

Maybe that would be the bestest armor ever in the game? I can see the Britannian Post headlines now:

dateline Yew Gate!! Trammie singlehandedly wiped out a squad of fighters by riding Lasher into the area! While they were rolling around on the ground in laughter the unnamed Tram resident simply slaughtered and dry-looted every one of them.
= = = ** sigh **

Agreed ... even as a Tram player this is absolutely hateful. Someone swore to kill every one they see. I'm with them and will certainly go out of my way to demolish this blight on the landscape.

I wondered about the beard as well and ended up trying to find more information about why it had one. Came across a few articles that said, "In heraldry, a unicorn is often depicted as a horse with a goat's cloven hooves and beard, a lion's tail, and a slender, spiral horn on its forehead." Unicorn - Wikipedia

Just for giggles I think I'll take a different approach. Try this on for size as a Lasher critter:

Shorten the horn (it's not a spear!), drop the beard, get the tail looking more natural (look at the horse for ideas). Can be hued like a kite shield can be. If dyes applied (natural ones?) these are the dyeable areas: body as one area; mane/horn/tail as another area.

Result ... whatever hateful color combos appear are those of the rider/owner and not EA/BS artistry. Whatcha think?

Guys, you all dont get it. You are misunderstanding the essential point behind your rage:

The Dev-Team has such a fine sense of irony, that you dont even understand the best of their jokes in recent years. There are so many collectors of teddybears, roses, valentines boxes, cupids and other kitsch - this is just an ironic reference to this lovely group of people.

Why so serious? Just enjoy it! Its fun! I neeeeed to get one for my Necromancer. Hilarious!

So, true micro-transactions for vanity items begins. Free-to-play around the corner?

I certainly hope not, every rumor ties it to an "Unlimited Trial Account" type system, where the limitations match those currently on trials. I can't see this as being anything but a disaster as A) It wouldn't increase revenue unless they try to Nickle and Dime everyone for everything possible. B) Could lead to a number of people canceling subs willing to live out of their bank boxes. C) Will lead to a true pay to win situation. D) Likely won't help unless they do something about all the Freeshards that don't charge anything, and don't have the restrictions in place, leading to anyone new that tries the game eventually heading to them for these reasons.

That is what the oversized horn is for.. a single can of Play Doh, a coloring book and a 12 pack of crayons fits snugly in it.

As I passed by a campfire earlier this evening, I overheard two gypsies engaged in a quiet conversation. One spoke too softly and I could not be sure what she was saying. Her older companion, however, distinctly said, "I'm not sure why so many people are so upset. Personally, I'd prefer a Lasher over a lamp any day of the week."

What's next? Adding in the village people as bosses in a new YMCA dungeon? This thing looks a whole lot more like a pride addition than game lore.

Change your avatar name to Giddy. And how did you play D3 for more than 20 minutes and not be level 70 paragon 10 at least. Very lame. Pretty lucky you got a gate to Whimsydale while recording.
