    Nothing like adding silly items to make me take your game less serious.

    Yeah I suspect it could be for real. Don't like it.

    There always tends to be some semblance of the whimsical in Asian games. This is horrible but it's also not to my taste.

    The game looks so ridiculous and over the top that I really dont think having silly additions like these is going to make much of a difference to be honest.

     You know what?

    I think it is awesome!

    We need to inject some satire and humor in MMOs. Dungeon Runners comes to mind with its satirical item names.

    Keep it up!

    This is one of the monsters you kill for a quest If I remember right.  There are a few quests in game to kill a named/rare monster and you take their bodyparts as weapons/armor.  There is one you get early in the game that looks like a bear head.

    All I keep seeing is the same screenshots on every site I find about it. I'm not saying all of them are photoshopped, but a few of the ones you posted, yes, they are.

    In my opinion this type of items are ridiculous. I hate when they appear in MMOs. But yay! is a matter of opinion anyway.

    That's true, it finally seems to be calming down though, only 18 or so active threads now

    i find these as a fun element added in the game. Heck i did play a few games that gave you wierd weps. Wow comes to mind, being able to use fish, broken beer bottles ect.

    Adding humor to a game does make it much more appealing. You always wanna look cool but eventually you sometimes wanna look wierd.  That is what made wow fun also, just watching people dress up funny for a random occasion was welcoming.

    Watching Fanbois drop their soap in a prison full of desperate men.

  • ThradarThradar Member Posts: 949

    LOL!  Wow...just...wow.  A carrot sword.

    LMFAO!

    This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a fantasy mmo since Blizzard introduced a wood motorcycle mount.

    The fork weapon I has seen in-game but not the rest. I think these are items you can buy from an NPC that will change the skin of your armor or weapon.  Most of the players (at least in korea) are not using them.

    BTW: the Fork looks cool as hell on a Glad, but the rest

    Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...

    I am thinking that the "fork" is more of a trident weapon.  Hard to tell until you actually see it in action.

    Haha, clever clever.  Would be pretty funny if they even changed the death text to something along those lines. 

    "You have been served by XXXX"

    At the elyos main city, they have a row of shops that sells dye pots and garment skins and I think you can buy these items over there (some of the garment skins cost alot  150,000 for each item)

    OMG, these are so funny 

    One more reason to give Aion a try

    As do I, I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape over this kind of thing.  I think it's all about superiority complex, can't feel to "3’1337" when someone just took you out with a pair of carrots.
