1. With the new special affect system does this mean the perks will finally have unique animations or special affects apply to them? At this time the "button press" animation on 95% of the perks out there are pretty lame.
2. Will you take advantage of recent graphical advances like dual/quad core support?
3. Will we be able to customize the graphics with sliders/options to lower end computers? Anti-aliasing?
4. Will you fix the weird ass swinging animation? Playing 4 years and I never got use to the weird (but somewhat majestic) way it swings form side to side in the opposite way the body is moving, its just so weird looking.
I think it's a bit less than 4k but they do indeed have the highest AR of all the pets.
I notice a lot my pets just appear to be standing there not hitting (read, missing) when it's a Fixer with perks up, an Advy with perks up or a Keeper with Insight up.
Engi pets do also have insane CC resistance. Something I wouldn't mind for Carlo at least. Engi pets are also pretty easily killed by anyone with semi decent damage output though.

While the new head is looking better, I have to wonder where they got that rendition of the old head. I can zoom into the same head in-game to the same distance and perspective and the head is much better looking. The one in the samples looks like it was blown up from a smaller image while the newly rendered head was rendered at that size, or even shrunk some. If we're gonna compare old and new heads, lets put them on equal footing - anti-alias the old head, etc...
P.S. Ditch the red eyes - they didn't have them to start with, and don't need them now.

Bump.
This isn't a graphical advancement. However making the game threaded to take advantage of multi core systems would be nice. I'm not sure how much of an improvement it would make however (other than splitting the load) once the graphics are off loaded onto the GPU.
Bump again.
What? Do you mean the gentle swinging when standing still?

Regarding the engine - I believe Ogre has a LGPL license - meaning companies such as Funcom can make updates and modifications and don't have to make them public domain. It would make for a wonderful public gesture, however, to make vast parts of their improved engine available alongside the current public engine. The accompanying goodwill and attention such a gesture would generate would, I suspect, translate directly into sales for the game.
i love new head, not bad,
but i have some questions
1/ When will we get timer on missing skill like specials attacks?
2/ Will we have some new quest with the new instance?
3/ will we get some kind of improvement for those ywho don't have xan weapon or can't use it cause of their lack of interest? like ranged advy for example.
4/ when are the pvp balance you were talking about, we got no new of it?
A suggestion to remove ranged advy full auto problem : http://forums.anarchy-online.com/sho...d.php?t=529754

RE: Space apartments. Be sure you put in a gorgeous starfield visible out the windows ( and, yeah, i noticed the art renderings so far are ground-based), with potential for even better rendering with the new engine.
I do like the opifex head. However, something has been bugging me about it since Means first posted it last week. I always thought that the original head was supposed to be a black opifex female. Unfortunately, the updated head still looks too much like a white solitus female, in my opinion. In order to maintain the characteristics of both race (opifex) and skin color (black) I think the hair needs to be shorter on top, the lips need to be a little fuller, and the skin tone needs to be a modified grayish brown as opposed to a grayish pink as it looks now.
I'm not expecting the art guys to beat a dead horse to get this one head to look perfect, but it's just something to consider for future head alterations.

As for the apartments, who cares. Nobody i know uses or has ever used their apartment. There are plenty of other things that could be done in the game like fixing bugs, adding more content, other then making apartments that wont ever be used.

So a breakthrough in the Nano Breed Survival Suit so Homo Nano can survive there?
I look forward to hearing more about that
Last time there were talk about it, the prototype got stolen.
I disagree, I use apartments as a nice quiet place without spam.
It would be great with an apartment recall beacon though, especially if they have grid acces like the SL apartments have.
A further thing to remember: the apartments should be "outside", just like the SL apartments, so we can use our Lazyboys, dancing santas and fire camps there
It would be even greater if the recall beacon took the whole team with you, so you easily could show off your apartment decoration.
Kind Regards
