    agreed

    The dead do not squabble as this land’s rulers do. The dead have no desires, petty jealousies or ambitions. A world of the dead is a world at peace

    Right?? I don't buy cosmetics. I don't care what my character looks like. Most games I hit a randomize button until I see something reasonable, then just roll with it...

    Having said that, I feel like I have to buy these. They are too damn sexy to pass up
  • DamoklesDamokles Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    They are technically tentacle necromancers, and i think that is something that you should be able to expand upon for necromancer pets later ingame.

    Maybe give them differend skins:
    Woodland - corrupted trees, mushroom infected corpses etc (see last of us)
    Desert - Skelletons etc (see Warhammer)
    Sea - Tenatcle C'thulu corpses
    Swamp - Ghouls
    Mountain - little bloodthirsty gnome corpses (i mean garden gnomes with razorsharp teeth)
    Grassland - undead animals (wolves etc)

  • AmistAmist Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two

  • NagashNagash Member, Leader of Men, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two

    Guess I'm the oddball, but necro is not my thing, so I guess I won't have to worry about spending any money this month.

    I'm actually in a similar situation.

    I don't even look at the cosmetics, generally speaking. This isn't the aesthetic I usually go for either.Yet I can't help but feel I'll be disappointed if I don't buy all of these.

    I bought it. Probably a lot of them will be, so a lot of them will walk around like this - which makes the whole thing a bit less cool. Same procedure as every year. B)

    Yeah but think about it this way: We will all know who was here first. Other people wont be able to buy them later on. Everyone will know that those in these cosmetics will be one of the first to believe in Ashes.

    I'm really tempted to get the costume and kinda want the horse. I don't really like cloaks or pets and could live without the boat and tower. They look like Sauron's tower or a Flying Dutchman-esque ghost ship to me.

    The boat looks like a shark spirit is possessing it xD

    I am probably going to get the puppy, horse and armor skin. Debating on whether or not to get the cloak though. It would be awesome for a rogue.

    I got the dog and the cloak. You aren't alone in the "meh, necromencers" thing though.

    <3 glad you all are liking what you see this month - coming up with this theme was a blast! It totally wasn't because I want to wear all of these myself ;)

    No your not the only one just not my style so keep my cash but they do look fantastic and glad others love them as more sales is good for Intrepid.

    I don't play necro, but I like how the energy glow is red instead of the cookie-cutter green. Gives it a feeling of power.
  • CaerylCaeryl Member, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    It’s edgy and I love it, more spikes, more bones, more red and black evil looking flair!

    Nothing wrong with green, but red or violet look more menacing. There were casestudies about the extended influence of colors on prison inmates, inmates in rooms that were colored green or blue were half as aggressive then their normal behaviour, while people in red rooms were twice as aggressive then normal.

    They also found pink made them less aggressive.

    There have been similar colour-related studies done in games. Red vs Blue is a real thing, and it does make a difference to the way you play.
