That is pretty cool minus the timer thing. Not like I'll ever make it to another event, so I'll stick with the Agent Suit. Very nice on actually being able to model it though Rare.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that sword in some mission areas before.
I would imagine seperating it from the rack and attaching it to a player's back is a hard task.
Just as hard as making the headlamp, I guess.

Cool sword but I'm not going to run the missions for the one with a timer. I hope I get the chance to obtain the perpetual.

Do you have your graphics turned up? It doesn't show except in high-detail, and even then usually only when your head is moving.

Lame, maybe Im just hard to please. But I can think of better items then a sword to show up on your back for 60 secs or so.

Every time a new FX comes out I want it more than I ever wanted the previous one (excepting of course the Red Eye) and this is no exception.  Perpetual would be best though, I have to agree.

There's a rule with swords like this; if you take it out you have to kill someone with it.

The blue headlamp is an 'item', yet it only sticks around for 2 minutes or so. I imagine that there will be 'perpetual sword' FX for people who win events.

My issue with it is that it simply looks huge. I was thinking it'd be a little more proportionate.
Maybe it's just the angle at which the picture is taken.

Something like this is what I'm talking about:

I agree. Just looks massive. I guess we'll see tomorrow, or whenever the first one gets done (which should be tomorrow SMILEY )

Pretty much all of my thoughts have already been posted by others, but in a nutshell:

  • Wow, it's big... too big, IMO.
  • Having it on a timer is kind of silly, but at the same time, as Vinia's said, if it wasn't half of the population would be running around with swords on their back all the time, which would be even sillier.
  • If this can be done, then are holsters or similar things possible?  (For me, I'd like the body strap holsters a la Neo in the Lobby scene).
  • I might grind for it once I've got the chapter clothes I want and I've seen just how bad/good it looks on others.  Definitely not an OMG I NEED THAT NOW!!! thing

The lack of permanance immediately kills any chance it had of being an "OMG I need to have that now!" item, since for about the same grind, you can get a physical item which will not deactivate out of the blue and... honestly, how ridiculous would it look to have a sword on your back for two minutes, only to have it disappear? Meh.

I don't care that everyone would be running around with it - it's a fad, just like the Area K was. For the love of God, you can't tell me you didn't see everyone and their brother with a flippin' Area K the first month or so after that was released, but now it's disipated. The same would happen with a perpetual sword.

Dunno... I just really think it sounds absurd to have a sword on your back that vanishes at a given time.

This is another one of those things that are ALMOST perfect as long as the devs would listen to us on the perma active thing.

I'll get the perma and a normal one, then have the 2 crossed on my back, that's what I always wanted <3

And yes, the size should be fixed, looks weird. It doesn't matter if it's slimmer, you can always extend the blade (like Sephirots sword from FFVII). mhm... maybe have 2 versions to get? One from left to right and right to left over the back? Maybe another two (left and right) sitting at the belt, where they normally would be?
