[Aneova]

<p>can you folks start putting up bigger screen shots of these items?</p>

[Cyliena]

<p>Isn't it Clan McNaggle? There's books with that name at least. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Wulfebain]

<p>Why would you make the Chillborn Katar Lore?</p>

[Shaolin Sam]

<p>They made the Katar LORE? That stinks <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I wanted to buy 2 for my bruiser <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Wulfebain]

<p>Yes and I did buy 2 sets for my bruiser to find that out.</p>

[Xenxex]

<p>Remove LORE tag on the katar. Considering theirs no other katar to match it with it kinda makes it silly to have on just one. </p>

[Tyrus Dracofire]

<p>just curious about that armor with ice on shoulder, where that from?</p>

[Tajiro]

<p>That katar has a Lore tag...</p><p>And is equippable by all BUT scouts? why is that? or is this another lack of QA/QC on SoE's part...</p><p>To most of us, this stuff isn't easy to come up with and/or code it, but we aren't developers. You guys are supposed to be professionals, I understand making some mistakes, you guys are human. However, you guys are making TONS of mistakes these days, ones that real professionals never would or should make (you guys having unpaid interns doing everything now?). Either that or you guys are hiring some pretty lackluster talent or you've just given up. Very disapponting indeed...</p><p>I will admit, I still love you guys and depending on the roll out, timing, and whether or not AoD has delays I may very well leave. I'd almost rather read books than play this anymore.....and I HATE reading books. Please dont make do that...</p>

<p>Excellent!</p>

So mine was more of a color complaint. I do not use Shader 3.0.</p><p>I hope we can get it in that nice brown color! Or maybe a black .. or cow-spotted!</p>

[Elomort]

<p>Ratonga, Sarnak and Iksar have always had a problem with hats. I would have thought most people who play these three races would know that the head skeleton makes most hats look plain stupid.</p><p>The flying helmet is even worse than the wolf heads.</p>

[vexrm]

<p>Could you tell me the rules on gifting as I can't seem to gift this stuff.</p>

[MordredX3th]

<p>These items are all well, but I'd really like for the them to create a prestige house based off of Solusek's Eye.</p>

But, I know that would take a lot more work. (It might also underscore to players just how many different shapes there are, too.)</p>

[thewarriorpoet]

<p>Am I the only one that though the mask like apperance on the iksar looked cool? Though if red was instended I think it should be changed to brown. I might roll up a lizzy if the mas look stays.</p><p>Edit - Oh yeah and Isulith, thanks for be all over this! Its nice to see someone who actually responds to players and gets stuff done.</p>

[thewarriorpoet]

<p>Any word on when the wolf head helmet is coming back?</p>

I believe the best thing that players can do is use the appearance window within the game. That way they can see exactly how the item will look on their character.</p>

<p>Do we know when we can finally gift the new items? I've bugged it and done my part.</p>

[vexrm]

<p>Thank you. I just tested again with the Magical Brazier. after clicking through all the agreements it goes "This item is not for sale in the station marketplace"</p>
