Please let us enjoy the NOTD illusion as we want to...

<p><span style="font-size: 11.6667px;">Please let people enjoy the Night of the Dead illusions the way they want to.</span></p><div><span style="font-size: 11.6667px;">That the illusion is randomly given, is a good thing, so you get to see more of them.</span></div><div></div><div>But why does it have to randomly change every 10 min or so, and when you zone ?</div><div></div><div>Some illusions are great, some are not so great. Some of them look great for social situations, but not so good for running around (annoying run animations etc).</div><div></div><div><strong>This is a once a year event, can you please let us enjoy the illusion we prefer for the duration of the buff?</strong></div><div></div><div>I can not choose keep the illusion I prefer and enjoy it for more than 10 mins or so, which is in Qeynos or whichever city you get it from. Where's the fun in that?</div><div></div><div><strong>I would humbly suggest</strong> to let the goblin give two choices of buff (to keep everyone happy):</div><div></div><div>* the random one, that also updates every now and then (the way it works now)</div><div>* one that sticks for as long as you keep it on  eg. <em>"I want a sticky one!"</em></div><div></div><div><span style="font-size: 11.6667px;">Judging by the people I see in game, the illusions aren't very popular. I don't see anybody using illusions when I group up either in PUgs or with guildies. <span style="font-size: 9.72225px;">There may be a number of reasons for that, this was mine.</span></span></div><div></div><div><span style="text-decoration: underline;">PS: is it possible that it is broken?</span> There is a PC sitting AFK here next to the gigglegibber goblin. I've seen the proc on her a few times, and she doesn't change from her class appearance. Looked at her buffs and she does have the illusion buff and no other illusions buffs. So I'm not seeing the illusion buff that someone else has on. </div><div></div><div>Thank you.</div><div></div>

Aren't all the illusions for sale on the NOTD vendor?

On my Pally I hide the illusion when it's either one I don't care for -- I agree, keep them from switching! -- or when I just tire of it; I don't cancel it, since it is permanent, so that I always have the option to start showing it again, if the urge strikes me.</p>

<p>I actually like the randomness, although some of the illusions I'd like to keep a bit longer <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.  The issue I do have is the stacking order of illusions.  When the random illusion changes, it goes to the "end of the line" so to speak, so I have to cancel my buffs that include illusions (wolf form, billy doll, etc.) in order to see it again. </p><p>I'm sure it wouldn't be easy, but it would sure be nice to be able to change which of our various current illusions is primary somehow.  Perhaps a (yet another!)  tab that lists the various effects which current affect our appearance, and the ability to drag them into a priority order or flag one as the currently visible effect?</p>
