The new trophies are not bad, but man these things are getting big.

Three Nice new Trophies:

The serpent trophy looks wrong to me?
the right hand side of the base is coloured the same as the serpent? should it not be wood coloured like the rest of the base??
Looks like a wood carving where somebody got over keen spray painting it afterwards :D

I think the new trophies look great but as Riyana says they are very big, fine for deco in a castle with a trophy room but not really suitable for more normal sized homes. Obviously those critters are actually that size so they couldn't make them smaller, but everything does seem to be going that way, over-sized, lately. The Grizzly bear one is also huge but it's upright so not too bad.

As the founding member PETM (player for the ethical treatment of monsters) I find these trophys disturbing. :D

The trophies are nice, too bad the kits on Siege aren't affordable for daily use. I get that 3x prices were supposed to promote community building and reliance, but taking the lazy way out and simply coding everything that way was.....just lazy.

Since these are creatures being hunted and turned into trophies wouldn't they stay the same size dead or alive? Be totally different if they were statues.

Exactly! They don't shrink when you stuff them! And since they are all stretched out in the water we really can't tell HOW big they are until we get them OUT of the water...now we know how big they are!

I agree the size isn't ideal for the smaller houses but it wouldn't make sense for them to make it smaller.

The raptor, on the other hand, I think is too big..the trophy anyway.

Thats some sort of appendage wrapped around the base. Also there is another behind the trophy, I assume that one is the tail.

"Harvester’s Axe – magically transforms logs into boards, can be recharged with a runed switch"
Lmfao. You mean like all other axes do? Seriously, whack a tree with any axe, whack the logs in pack with any axe, boards. This has got to be a joke. If only they'd implement the "Orcish Axe" idea that i've been pushing for years. An axe that functions the same way that Gargoyle's Pickaxes do, increasing the level of wood received by one, while having a chance to pull up a Treefellow that matches the wood type, with 100 logs on him. Have the "Orcish Axe" have a chance to drop off of Orc Choppers.

"Players will now be required to type the word “delete” to confirm the deletion of characters."
About ****ing time.
In my opinion, it's annoying to do that. I think the satchel and axe are a pretty sweet deal.

When LJing, i usually just get up to 590 Stones, then hit a UOA macro that uses my axe on any logs in my pack. Just one click, and boards. I think it'd be more annoying having to go through the pain in the ass process of crafting Runed Switches in order to recharge the new axe. It takes Alchemy, Inscription, Tinkering, and Carpentry to craft all the components for a Runed Switch in a multi-step process. It's like crafting all the stuff necessary to fire a cannon.
The Satchels are great, so long as any new Logs/Ore you obtain go right into the satchel when you already have some of the stack in there.

I would just buy a new one if it runs out.
