It's definitely the Sentinel, you can see it on the gloves.

Should have been something like this : Dynamic Level of Detail Technology, which allows crowds of hundreds of simultaneous avatars to be looting fairly good while we ( MA ) maintain a good profit rate.

I'm welcoming next VU then

In summary: give us more pet functionality

Anyone remember the mall update? What were the previews about? The friggin mall. Was there other content? YES! I did say earlier in the thread that I can't wait for some of the other content. That doesn't mean I'm going to bitch about it just because I don't know what it is yet.

I have to say I'm looking forward to the new VU. The ava's and especially the clothes look much better and the armours (love or hate them) have a shitload more detail in them.

I can't wait to see the full list of content that comes with this VU - anyone who has been around for previous VU's knows that there will be other updates and content.

Don't worry, you gonna know ALL about loot nerfs and "slight" system readjustments, etc. when the update hits our hard drives. Expect the unexpected hehe.

The graphical update of avatars looks great though, I like that MA is consistently moving forward with the new artistic direction, that was introduced, when EU website got redesigned.

Remodeling is great, but the Tiger (or Boar) looks like a deep-sea diving suit.
Clothing is looking fine as well; A shirt really seems to have those molisk buttons used
I wonder if they make a bigger difference between the looks of a colored master coats and the looted coats or if they are gonna look exactly the same now.

NEW MELEE WEPS ??

MELEE AMPS ??

will we see them in vu9 ??

i rise my prayers to holly Lootius and MA Goddess

I hope its not too late to ask about the Tailoring and Coloring professions. I think many would agree with me, both MA and us the client would benefit from now defined and purposeful Tailoring & coloring professions. They can creat entirely different field of markup items and tools. Please

I found a picture on MA FTP server of how Kobold will look like in V9:


(Btw. I think it´s Marko dressed for a hot night out in the picture)
