I was taking a nap when the phone rang ... Moonie always calls me before he goes to work, and he said everyone was on TeamSpeak, so I got on TS to have a chat. However, the first thing I hear is Fang with a very intense voice telling me that I had to get my purple ass to where he was because I had to see something (yes, he said purple ass).
So I hurried in-game and got a waypoint to where he was, and both Moonie and I joined him for a deep underwater adventure in the dark.
With the update on the 29th, they added a couple of new fish, and one of them (Wiles - Level 111) was mixed with Skreel in the waters off the Volcano Beach TP. Those suckers are HUGE, but they also have some pretty cool effects. I was able to get some screenshots, but also got some video footage. We were in the night cycle, so it was difficult to really see anything clear except for the glowing Wiles and Skreels
HERE'S AN UP CLOSE PERSONAL LOOK
(I love being immortal - I get good shots)
AS IT APPROACHES TO ATTACK - IT SWINGS ITS TAIL IN A PURPLE LIGHT SHOW
(this capture actually looks like a heart - it's just too cool)
THIS IS A FULL LENGTH SHOT WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE GLOW EFFECTS
(the tail is well defined on the right, and the purple glow is Moonie healing Fang,
which he didn't need btw ... Moonie kept getting "avatar is not wounded")
they also make light streams with their fins
I also captured some video footage in the deep, as well as one I caught on the surface of the water with in-game sound so you can hear it, and I'll be posting that video in a little while in this thread as well.
I LOVE the spontaneity of moments when they happen like this ... thanks Fang!
