Its needed to add a larger amount of clothes yes.

Right now we are working on some guild tabards/banners for our slot we already have working in game but disabled tabards and banners for the time being. What we need now is pretty much to skin the guild tabards/banners, add our guild logo support which also is ready and in use "invisible" on some of the armor part already  So this will get in the game very soon.

Should help Guild ID and war strategics.

Just thought I'd link this, since guild identification is one of those topics that crops up every so often.  If "tabard" means clothing that you can wear over your armor that has your guild markings, that would be awesome.

This will be a very good addition to the game, along with the inclusion of more varieties of clothing.

There were quite a few interesting comments made in that thread - a lot having to do with planned graphical enhancements and UI upgrades (yeah Flash!).

Good stuff.

Yes so much exciting things coming our way! I can barely contain myself.

-Proper AI when the nav mesh is done by Epic

-New UI with flash support

-Mini games like chess

-UO style inventory

-Tabards and clothing

Dayum!

Why?  For people that actually play the game, improvements such as the ones described are a good thing.  It makes sense that a player would be happy or excited about this.  Personally, I can't wait for the tabards and addtional clothing.  The improved UI (and possibility of a UO-style bag) will also be another excellent upgrade.

Even though I haven't resubbed I have been reading the updates. When they get around to adding more things to do in game so that pvp is something you encounter and not the sole purpose for logging in, I will  resub. I like the addition of tabards, logos and banners, I just hope the individual has the option to turn it on/off. Some guild logo designers think pink unicorns are funny.

 Is there a reason to actually have any guild wars yet?  Is there territory control and/or sieging?  If not, is there an ETA?  If so, does territory control bring benefits?  Rare resources?   Something to be gained?

 

 

 

Wow, more than a little off-topic.

Tabards do not solely relate to guild warfare mechanics.  People are now and have been interested in this for a variety of reasons: RP, the ability to distinguish guildies in a crowd, as well as making it easier to tell friend from foe in any combat situation - none of which are tied directly to an organized guild warfare system.

I'm sure I don't need to go through the enormous number of games that have guild tabards, but do not have guild warfare or territorial control systems.

But, since you brought it up, Mortal Online is beginning the installation of formal guild warfare mechanics.  It's just the first step right now, but will get fleshed out as time goes on.  In short, they are improving the game, but it won't be instantaneous.  As that happens, tabards will be nice to have.

Anyone have a screenshot of the new tabards?

Sure, I'll just load it from Seb's computer onto my thumb drive and post it later.

 

It's something they are working on, not part of the patch from this morning.

 Well I thought perhaps there was a screenshot or a youtube posted showing them... often when things are announced a company will throw up some shots to whet the appetite.  Kind of like the way Epic Onetime encounters were teased... and the "Townlife" video.. etc...
