Alright guys, post 'em post 'em! Id love to see the new graphics.

It was changed 2.0-4, right?

Imagine dipping your hands into the ooze from teenage mutant ninja turntles.

Or

Imagine holding a pulsing stick of uranium.

okay so first one is green sparkly fists..


the next one is... Rune etched bamboo bo?

Is 3.0 still its original frosted floating sugar cookies?

My 3.0s where the green glowy as of yesterday. I dont know if they are the new graphic or not because prior to yesterday I have never seen my own weapons.

So, there's only two graphics then?

Pulsing uranium stick and green glowy fists?

Their one in the same. I didnt mean an actual stick just maybe a Uranium nugget that pulsates green due to the radiation.

The 4.0's for monk are glowy blue around the hands, nothing more.
I'll make a screeny tonight on my monk, or you might see him in Nexus (Morihei)
Would have loved the bamboo sticks as 4.0's but oh well, i turn my shinies off anyway.

So, if you will, the effect of the blue glow of the original epic, but without rotating cookies.

3.0 kinda looks like your carrying around a pair of incredible hulk balls and smacking people in the face with them.

Word. Do share screenies, if its not out of anyone's way. :)

Incredible Hulk Balls:

I am a bit dissapointed in the graphics :(
Some sticks would be nice imo

If everyone dumped Titanium and used SoF/SoD you would have hundreds of new weapon graphics. =D

I have a feeling I will be too. Lol

Some random H2H images from live...

Xegony fist / what I'm guessing the 4.0 is

Earthen Fists from Earth

Corpsehook from SoD (Has a crushing animation)

Soulsunder from SoD (Has a piercing animation)

Fleshscourge from SoD

Flashing Prismatic Knucklewraps from Crystallos (SoF)

Combine Katar Ornament from LoN (I use this so my Soulsunder doesn't have a lame piercing animation)

Two group weapons from Underfoot that are quite nice
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Shmoof/EverQuest/EQ002127.jpg)

Don't even bother with Underfoot graphics. The Underfoot from Steam isn't 100% finished yet, it's getting close but theres still some issues with AAs and spells among a couple other minor issues, and the Live client...well don't ever count on it being a primary client for Emu, they're only coding for the Live client to get a stepping stone towards future Steam releases to make their lives easier. As for SoD, while using them wouldn't be a problem as many people use the client, there are still a lot of Craptanium fanboys out there that refuse to drop their 5 year old shitty code and upgrade. Thus some server GMs (Hunter) hesitate to do SoD content or weapon icons/graphics because all the slow poke people out there would miss out on them unless you patched in the sodequip.eqg files and added it to globalload.txt.

In other words all but 2 of those items you just listed will be ignored sadly :(

And me, despite the SoD progression(Optional) we have coming shortly on top of our regular content expansion 8 D

you're welcome :P lol jk

That doesn't make any sense > _ <

Cuz i r SoD content makur :3 lol

Exclusively, yes. I am talking about the scripting/tasking/packet collects that I did as a part of the WE when I mentioned that above.

Ooooo right lol

i think monks would like this

yes I like that one

Yeah thats kinda cool Tib, just haven't been too impressed by any of the monk weapons yet.  Hey I noticed you started posting here again Danyelle, just stalking or an interest in playing here again?

Stalking, lol. I'm busy deving for Akk on BoTA and when i'm not doing that it's IRL stuff. So kinda tied up atm :P

Why? Miss me? ;D lolz

Nothing has compared to the 2.0 graphic ever since it came out. 

Shinai is a nice look, but it's not a real hand to hand looking weapon. 

There are three other H2H graphics that maybe someone with their own emulator could pull up, as I never got them on live.  They are: Brumal Fistwraps of Whirling Sleet, Ball of Sunlight, and Handwraps of the Crystalline Fortress.  Again, they don't have graphics as impressive as the 2.0, but they're something to toss around.

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=68044 Solteris
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=74798 Crystallos

All of those require SoF/SoD/Underfoot to see.

I'm telling you guys, sticking with Craptanium is a huge mistake.... like Xbox hueg.

like falling off the TV and killing a baby hueg!?!?

in my other suggestion monk epic graphic thread i suggested the shinai as well as the RuneEtchedBambooBo (A bigger version, which imo still the coolest option ive seen for monk epic)

Oh no we just noticed youre rash of posts here lately in comparison to not being here for quite awhile just wondered what youre doing back here.

:( </3 lol

Yeah just lurkin. Helping where i can but otherwise tied up =X

To make you feel better tho i'll give you some glowing cereal...

Pic related: it's sum glowing cereal.

Honestly, I'm rather disappointed in the new graphics.

The whole "glowy fist" weapon thing just leaves such a noob weapon taste in my mouth.

The 3.0 (green glowy) graphic is from a weapon dropped by a level 50-ish named turtle in Natimbi.

If anything, make the earlier epics glowy then make the later epics back to the 1.5/2.0 graphics, or pick something other than glowy fists.

I feel like I'm some alt monk that somebody went to the bazaar and bought the "best" weapon 10k could buy.

im new to server and started about 2 weeks ago i played monk on live and have been waiting for an mmo to play a similar char.   i found ez server and i can say that i def agree we need some new graphics and i second the shinai graphic (shinai of the ancients)!

Yeah, Shinai or dual REBBs or claws or something other than glowy fists would be awesome. I was a huge weapon collector on my EQLive monk, owning almost every graphic-type of weapon up to GoD, and apart from rapidly swapping glowies to look like police sirens or something, I rarely showed them off.

The ones I showed off and got the most "ooo, pretty" tells over were the Shinai.

I propose making the 1.5 a glowy, 2.0 another glowy, 2.5 a Shinai, 3.0 the Live 1.5, 3.5 Live 2.0, 4.0 REBB, or something like that.

Second and thirds these last couple posts.

I originally made a thread to make Monk 3.0 Rune Etched bamboo bo graphic/shinai (How fucking epic would it be to DW those?)

It looks cool, monkish, something different and an available graphic. PLEASEEE sign me up!

I say give em big, fluffy pink and blue pompoms

I have to say, I prefer the glowy fist weapons over everything.  To this day though, I dont think anything looks better than the original Monk 2.0 graphic.  I wish we could trade out our current epics for a version that we like with the same stats etc. Just not a big fan of the current 3.0. (or 2.5 for that matter). 

I think almost anyone that played a Monk on EQLive will agree that the glowy fist weapons are generally considered "noob" looking, which is why a lot of us have issue with the current graphics.

I like the glowing fists.  *shrug*

There are newer monk glowing fist graphics (some listed in this thread) that are different looking than the original old glowing fists.  Still wish the 2.0 graphic could be reintroduced somewhere for us, as it is by far, the best graphic monk weapon we have ever had.  I played a monk on live for 10 years, and yes the glowing fists do tend to look noobish, in particular the old red glowing, or even the green glowing that came out with the release of LDoN, but 2.0 was far from any of those!

Isnt it spiked maces now?

Yes, unfortunately it is.

still WTB REBB/Shinai =/

Those would be better than the current 3.0s. 

Heck, I wish they could make a way to change the look of your epics.  Make an NPC that would give you a different version when you give him your epic and some other item. 

on paper that seems possible but hey im not a coder.

instead of changing the epic graphics every here-there, just add in code for that new weapon model to the epic merchant, so peeps can trade in their 3.0 for an identical 3.0 but with a different graphic.

kinda have a feeling you'd need to duplicate the epic as a new item for every graphic though.

I would take that as well.  But your right, it would more than likely require duplicating the epics.

How many times can the graphic be changed before everyone is appeased? Something tells me it won't happen.

No but a majority would be nice :D
