<p>Horray for feedback. We seem to have a mixup, mainly witht he kilt set. First off, the screenshot on the news page is totally different than the one in game. The cap is shaped different, being red with a top loop instead of black with a tassel on the side. The chest in the screenshot is red, but black in game, as well are the gloves. Finally, the screenshot shows a black kilt, which matches the set, but the actual in game kilt is a silvery grey and looks out of place.</p><p>Now, if all you did was fix the kilt color in game, we would have a nice black chain-themed matching set of armor. I like this. The screenshot is... ugh.. the red kinda clashes, just fix the kilt. Oh and I almost forgot, the SS shows spiked sholders, while in game they are plain rounded. Either would be nice.</p><p>Now, the planetarium, its absolutely beautiful, but very open, and with no convenient way to reach the upper ledges, kinda disappointing. But i am sure there are alot opf folks that like a big open canvas... so thats just personal opinion.</p><p>The other items are awesome, although some tooltip info for the armbands explaining that they are switchable would be nice.</p>

<p>Oh, the balloon lights!  How I've wanted some of those...</p>

<p>My female tonga is seeing a black top and silver skirt... and why is it not in the 'new' section?</p>

Probably a Shader 1 / Shader 3 issue.

Definately a completely different set than the one in the screenshots.</p><p>It isn't a male/female thing. It looks the same on both.</p><p>And to add even more to the wierdness, it looks completely different from both the screenshot in the article & the standard servers on Eq2x.</p>

<p>When you reach the platforms on the Sun & Moon ledges .. you can easily Jump over the ledge and walk free in the "Air" space between the balcony and the Sun & Moon.  I assume you can also "place" items in the "air" in these spaces.</p><p>There seems to be a few ledges or cubby-holes a little further up, I've yet to explore those or to see how how you can get a teleporter pad UP the chimney, maybe even "out".</p><p>I like the Light / Dark split, its a nice change to everything being so bright most of the time.  It would be wicked cool if there was a "light" setting on housing which would be global to anyone who was in the zone.  Pickblack to washed-out, is that too much to ask for?</p>

<p>Info for you non-raiders:</p><p>This is the x4 DoF raid zone, <a href="http://eq2.zam.com/db/zone.html?eq2zone=48b0d9d421289a2d58bbe83959845cb0 #Wiki" target="_blank">The Pedestal of Sky</a>.</p>

When I saw this go live yesterday I could not help but wonder how many other people would have loved to have had the 2 dragons in this zone sitting on their respective ledges as plushies.</p><p>It will be interesting when these homes start adding in purchased and upkeep amenities like guild halls.</p><p>Would people pay ingame coin to have the dragons present? Much like the garden statues of the T3 halls? Maybe...I would, it would be an interesting "option".</p>

Dragon plushies are already available via LoN/Collections/quest rewards.

<p><cite>Brigh wrote:</cite></p><blockquote>Dragon plushies are already available via LoN/Collections/quest rewards.</blockquote><p>Yeah but they arent the same as the Gold and Silver dragons on this zone, at least none I have seen. Not to mention the house plushies would not get near large enough for that space.</p><p>LoN is laughable for loot rate. I have opened over 250 packs for the latest release hoping to find the Pegasus mount and getting nothing but the same handful of paintings, illusions, bow and pets that follow you around and talk about how uber you are (Coldain butler in skellie form). Everything in the included packs is no trade which is like giving us a gift we can return or trade for something we want. Which is a shame, I know people that play LoN would probably like my cards and would be willing to trade me for something I want but it cant happen under the current mechanics.</p><p>If I had paid $750 for those packs and not gotten the mount I would be miffed. As it is I only use the experience to confirm why I will NEVER buy a lon pack hoping to get a piece of loot. Only the included packs for me thanks.</p><p>When you think a $20 mount is too much to spend consider spending $750 for one...no thanks....lol</p>

<p>I have wanted those lights for YEARS now - but I wanted to craft them! ;_;</p>
