I don't think I've seen an umbrella model in-game.

No, wait, there's those big ones on top of vendor carts. *idea eye glint*

I'm sure it could be done, as there is an umbrella model, which if memory serves me correctly, would be the right size for players. The thing is, a) I think it would get kind of ridiculous seeing lots of people holding Umbrellas above their head, b) I'm sure animations would look kind of weird with it, especially that jerky running bit, and c) ... I'd rather see dev effort go into gameplay and content. Now, on the other hand, if there were some sort of quest that rewarded you with an equippable tool slot item that placed a umbrella originating from the hand vertex, that could be interesting.

Is this the Matrix, or WoW?  An umbrella kinda seems corny.  Not that the mood itself doesn't. :P

It would only have to appear for the length of the animation, much like bottles and /drinkbottle.y

Oh, wait... this is a mood, isn't it? Er... y'know, that would look kinda weird, even if the umbrella would disappear during some animation parts.

I agree! It rains so why no umbrella? Would be handy for when people are just standing around in the rain at mara chilling!

The umbrella could dissapear when running and only appear whilst sitting or standing still. SMILEY

This Idea is not going to affect the game as such in gameplay sense but I think it would be a simple yet cool addition to a new mood.

Good one! Me likes!

It would be kinda cool i suppose but it's not really.. matrixy if you know what i mean

like the last fight between neo n smith neo doesnt go

 

Neo: oh one sec lemme just get my umbrella it's pooring it down

still makes sense to have an umbrella in the mood though

Even if they textured one in, the rain would just go through it cause he'd be too lazy or rather it would be too complicated to figure out how to stop that, and then we'd complain about that, so as it stands its just a comedic emote that people can generate witty mxo banter about:

Dude where's your umbrella?

What, it's not like the rain is real.

That's a great strategy to get the devs to respond to you: screaming and swearing at them on the forums. Yep, that's what they like. In fact, Virrago told me once that he lives for that. His day doesn't feel complete without someone throwing an absolute temper tantrum on the forums about something they want in-game.

Those umbrellas are sure to come right away! If there's anything else you need, be sure to use your

(Anyone else notice that "g_dd__n* did not get autocensored? O.o)

This made me LOL!

Haha But yeah I still want an umbrella I can live with the rain coming through it after all I have seen worse in game than that! Just completes the mood? Other emotes have items! Cummon Devs make us a sexy umbrella for us to stand in the lovely megacity weather! SMILEY

Rarebit posted in the dev screenshots about a week or so ago with a picture of just the vendor carts.  I'm thinking he's already on designing an umberella for the mood.

 

No need to curse, sir.
