Just thought I should drop a note to mention that the SOE offices are closed this Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday, which means that we won't have official Live Events on those days. I also don't have anyone in the office today who can upload images for me (:p), so there won't be an Image Retrieval this week (wasn't planning one anyway, conveniently--gotta save up for two particular ones just before the Winter Holiday update...), and I won't be able to put up a Live Event thread today for yesterday's event.
But that doesn't mean I can't sneak in a preview, I guess...

I have a sneaking suspicion that Rarebit either has a way to automatically take screenshots every second, or he has some Dev tool to recreate an entire event and take screenshots at his leisure. 'Cos these shots are just too good to be taken by chance.

F11 for me, as it happens. I still wonder how you manage to get such good shots, though. You must sit there hitting F12 more rapidly than is humanly possible.

If this is about the Thanksgiving holidays then shouldn't this be in the News and Announcements section? n00b! ^_^

I would've pegged Rarebit for a Fraps user if I hadn't seen all of the "screeny_00" in system chat with his other LE posts.

CameraChaseDuration = 0.1 ILCameraMode = 2 CameraMinDist = 100 CameraMaxDist = 2800 CameraMaxSpeed = 1000 CameraUserKeyDistSpeedScale = 5000 CameraUserKeyPitchSpeedScale = 250 CameraUserKeyYawSpeedScale = 400
Those will seem very twitchy at first, but with practice they're very helpful for moving the camera around to different angles while things are happening, using CTRL+WASDZX. The default camera keyboard movement speed is maddeningly slow...I'm really not sure why it's set as low as it is, but I'm hesitant to change it for all users (the default, I mean) now.

Whatever the deal, I demand favouritism, so PM me a picture of one of the clothing items that you say yourself are unlike anything MxO has had before. Don't worry about the favouritism, I'll then spread it equally over the forums
