Eye of Zomm was cool. I had it in EQ1. I make movies in EQ2 and it would be very nice to have.<div></div>

<div></div><div></div><div></div><div>You know, I really don't see the NEED to have it, for getting good scenes in everquest 2. Anything that you use the eye for, you can do it yourself.</div><div> </div><div>Hover above battle scenes? --> Change your view.</div><div>Scoot accross water? --> Griffon/Carpet. If you want it slower, slow down your video in your editer.</div><div>Close up of Raid mobs, or different Views --> Get in 1st person view and go where you want.</div><div>----------->> Dont give me that excuse "we have jobs to preform" because, if you use your eye in a raid to get scenes, you are moving your eye around and getting a pretty scene, instead of preforming your job, which.... you could have moved yourself. Unless you... want to auto attack i guess.</div><div>(<a target="_blank" href="http://files.filefront.com/Barakahwmv/;4579634;;/fileinfo.html"><font color="#ff6699">Here</font></a> is an example with a very bad day with Barakah. Moving around and yada yada. See how I am trying to get different views? sorta. This is one of the worst footages I have of her, yet it still has some different views than the circlish stuff when your attacking from the behind. Yeh, I died, but so what? Just a lil repair of 9 gold dont hurt anything.)</div><div> </div><div>edit: heck you can even see it in my gbye video i made in augest. moving around in 1st person view. It aint limited to teh locked circlish view.</div><div> </div><div>Just think. Its not hard to get 90% of the views you want.</div><div> </div><div>The only case that I can see this eye of zomm being some what nifty, is wanting to record your character, and move to the left or right or wahtever with the eye, and your character just stanidng there, not moving. but in YOUR case, you dont need it. You have your 2nd account <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> But even so, that is so easy to do in your video editer, lol. Just record your character standing there and make a movement from left-> right. And even stretch out the movement length on the right and left side of your character if you want it to seem longer /shrug it takes 2 seconds.</div><div> </div><div>Anywhere your eye can go, you can go. Unless the eye can go verticle without viewing down also (which once again  you can get this effect in your video editer, just record yourself, and movement: down-> up. np)..... and Unless its a tiney itsy bitsy hole <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div><div> </div><div>There is no difference.</div><p><span class="time_text"></span> </p><p>Message Edited by Zemfira on <span class="date_text">01-07-2006</span><span class="time_text">06:59 PM</span></p>

This augmentation breaks if the mage enters combat.I rarely use this on my pet, I target a far off NPC and have it attack that target, I can then see from my pets point of view from where it starts all the way to the target.<div></div>

<div>Well, that is just being lazy. If you really really really wanted a certain scene. You can do it.
