Awwwwwwwwwwww!!!

I wasn't sure how the armour would be done on the boura, but now I really want one. It might be just "eye candy" to some, but roll on the day all my chars can get a boura

I like the pirate rug, though I'm not sure if I'd claim one... it's a wee bit big for the rooms in my house. The other rugs might look ok with the right colour of floor, not so sure about those.

Portal thingy looks useful, think I'll grab a few of those too.

I think some of the folks who don't like bouras probably deserve some alternative options for 13 years, but I doubt the devs will please everyone even with 5+ gifts heh.

I just popped onto test - love the boura, he's soooo cute. However, I wasn't able to dye any shields with the tub; I tried the buckler, tear kite and heater shields, so that's still not workin right.

 

[G.v.P]

I guess the rider's height has to be consistent with existing mounts.

sigh i guess so ... I guess they'd have to redraw every frame of the player animation to match the new Z-axis, which would be tedious, but still ... I wanted a real boura oh well guess I'll stick with rugs ;p

 

[Martyna Zmuir]

yea thats bad, hopefully you can re choose the side it faces when it is in deed form

Unless they change something last minute, no.

Really lazy programming.

Buuuut, since the rugs are so damned UGLY and too big for most houses... Does it really matter? 1 seed, 1 t-map, 1 SoS a week? Whoopie.

to me, the pic of the rider on the BABY boura looks very cartoon'ish, bringing more relevance to the term 'toon'.
What i Don't understand is why they got something that's not in the game - I've never seen a 'Baby' boura. Yeah, it'd take a bit of work, but isn't those vet's loyalty worth it?

 

[Spree]

I like my fake sig better ... baby boura! hmm yeah it is very tiny compared to a normal boura. well, it's cool in it's own way but I wanted a hulking beast.

I'd say the rider bounces too often for the stride, and when it runs, the boura doesn't look like it's really going as fast as it is. but cute graphic. ugh, cute I want a beast!

Maybe he should have ate his Wheatie when he was a kid

But...but it's like....cuter

 

[Petra Fyde]

I think it would be more than just re-drawing every view on a new z axis - what would it do to targeting having a char higher than everyone else on one particular mount? Would you aim a spell or arrow at a boura rider and be told 'you can not see that'?

 

[Viper09]

I have a serious question Supreem if you feel like answering it. Why is it that almost always patches are released with known bugs still in them? I've been waiting over a year now for magic arrow nether bolt to be fixed...I don't think a few more days would hurt. Just something I've never understood...

It's only released to Origin right now. Origin is unlike the rest of the production shards in the way that it is technically a test shard. It always receives publishes first to make sure that it runs well before hitting the rest of the shards. Think of TC as the Alpha, Origin as the Beta. When Origin was first released they informed everyone of this, hence the title of this shard being Origin.

 

[Tjalle]

Is the white Boura colour default? Or can we have them look like the real ones?

 

[Goodmann]

F-
​

You are seriously making Vets pick East or South? Wow I hope no one changes their house look and find they wanted a South after picking an East.

​

Thanks for the input

What is most inexplicable to me, though, is why on earth it was called "armored" when in fact (from what I read...), it provides no bonus whatsoever to one's own defense.

This is a mere eye candy mount, period.

A 13th Year veteran Reward could have aimed at something better, IMHO.

Last Year Teleporter tiles where a brilliant inception, for example. Handy, usefull, much wanted by players and yet, absolutely not unbalancing.

I would have imagined for 13th Year Vet Reward something as well handy, usefull, much wanted by players but not much unbalancing. Definately not yet another mere "eye candy" mount........

They could at least have added some good defense bonus to it, at least comparable to the exceptional barding with the Swamp Dragon (20% bonus), possibly even a little better. Or they could have made it a "0" followers' slot mount or have added some ability like automatic healing of the owner mounting it or some ability to resurrect the owner, whatever....

But nothing at all ?

 

[MalagAste]

For crying out loud!!!!!!

Who the heck wants to waste a danged vet reward on a rug that you can't freaking turn!!!!!! JHC get off your lazy (&*(*&)(*&) and make them like the stinking banners for god sakes!!!!!!

Learn to freaking program isn't it enough that they are ugly as sin!

Did you not read any of our suggestions? Do you not care enough about your players seriously NO ONE WANTS A RUG YOU CAN'T TURN!

Freaking waste of a reward.


The mount is cute.... much nicer than a polar bear... I might consider that in a year or two. But fix the freaking rugs... tone down the colors of the rose and dolphin and reduce the size by a bit... good god they are HUGE... and for the sake of you player base give us a choice in direction at LEAST for cripes sake!

 

[Sevin0oo0]

yes, rug should be turnable, Also it'd be nice to pick different sizes, you can select different types of xmas trees w/ the same deed, why not have selectable size/style rugs too?

 

[Deb]

I agree, they are definitely a little to big.

 

[Flutter]

Why can't we get a deed for the rugs that pops open a gump that gives various sizes and directions? (Including round or oval)


Can I please be on the suggestions for vet rewards and other pixle crack committee?
If there isn't a committee can we make one?

 

[Sevin0oo0]

when I was writing that post I was thinking the very same thing (not me tho), I'd vote for you tho - they need help, for sure

 

[Deb]

Also they block movement if they are near the edge of your house flush
with the steps.

OK but what does it look like in the real client?

votes yes for this one

Hmmmm, Ok I will second Flutter being on the committee and nominate God as well. Hell, anyone that can think up a 10-SSI talisman needs to be on it too

Isn't that what the crap I've been saying????

And yeah round would be nice .... but you'd be asking them to get the perspective right on a circle again....

So that said.... go to your 13 anniversary gifts...... look at the planters, and tell me...... do you REALLY want to trust them to make a circular rug????? NO you do not.

At any rate... Yes we want the freaking rugs in a deed which would allow us to chose the freaking facing.... each and every time we use the thing...

 

[Uvtha]

Hmm... I think the rugs are eye sores myself, and the having to choose the direction is beyond stupid.

The mini boura that does nothing is a bid dissapointment. Especially because for some reason they decided to make it all white. I wouldn't care if it was made white like a normal hue job, but it was just paint bucketed, and look crappy to me.

I like the tub, but it would be nicer if metal armor wasn't so crappy.

The dungeon teleporter is great though. If they added in ilsh dungeons it would be super duper great. But its really handy to me as is, since I have characters who cant gate and have to run to dungeons.

Hope the invasion is fun.

 

[spoonyd]

Does tracking no longer add to deathstrike damage? Just tracked someone on Test and it doesn't raise damage at all. Doing 46 damage with 100 hide, 100 stealth, 120 ninja.

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

Hope the invasion is fun.

Has the invasion part been activated on Origin yet?

 

[Goodmann]

yes but havent seen a reason to partake in it

 

[Ahuaeyjnkxs]

Malagaste as much as I pain to say it, you pulled a laugh outta me ahahahah
