First off, love the missions OOO.

Second, Barrus is so awesome looking. I've always wished I could get the Guardian gear...

However, more importantly, I'd love to have that kind of war banner/flag that Barrus holds on his back, as a back accessory. It fits perfectly with the theme, as the flag and pole can be colored according to the current color schemes for accessories (volcanic could be burnt up and flaming, like the Almire tapestries - oh wait, that'd be awesome as a back banner as well!) I'd love to charge into battle with these things, outside of Lockdown.

Thanks for your time!

I agree

The flag does look really cool. The only complaint I have for adding this as an accessory is that I'm aiming to get a Mercurial Demo Suit, which doesn't allow for back accessories. As for charging into battle with these things outside of Lockdown, my thread on Class Missions has a lot to say about that...

Whether flags be added as an accessory or as part of a PvE Guardian set, +1 to this.

We were given an oppurtunity to buy Scissor Blades, another NPCs item, I'd like to see this one sold as a Featured as well, if not a promotion pack.

MUST HAVE ONE

this seem's pretty easy to add seeing as the guardian LD class already has a back flag modeled.

Also if some of the guild suggestions go through (specifically the guild emblem) maybe you could customize your banner?

ok, maybe this is not the place but...

What About Making GvG Matches And All The Ranks And Stuff And The Top Guild Every Week Gets A Flag For Each Member Of Said Guild And It Has The Guild Emblem (Implanting This Obviously, From A Set Possible Emblems Made By OOO So We Dont Have Copyright Issues)?

I was gonna start a new thread suggesting a banner/sashimono-type accessory as an alternative to the Crests for players who favor costume armor that doesn't take Front accessories (like the Gunslinger Sash and Magic Cloak)

But then I found this thread so I'll just +1 this idea :)

(while I'm at it, it would be nice if the new Pocket Monsters also came in a backpack model, again for the Sash/Cloak wearers...)

Buff Banner

In TF2 the Soldier class gets three "bugles" which attach a flag/banner to a pole coming out of a backpack with various buffs, depending on which of the three used, after charging it; again, based on which banner. In Wakfu the Iop class has a skill named Bravery Standard which gives a damage buff to allies standing in the glyph around you, by activating the flag you gain a defense buff and become immobile; no pushback, picking up, or teleporting you is possible. Pound all your level stat points into health, max out the flag, dump the rest in Virility for even more health, max out Locking Pro so nothing can run away from you; now you are what Sacrier should be.

As an accessory this would be nice, a flag on your back to run around with. Someone crunch out some art.

Since I like this idea, I've made some concept art of it!

My take on the idea. Obviously smaller than the one Guardians have, as that thing is MASSIVE. I'd say it'd go up to the top of the Knight's head if they're wearing a Pith Helm, for size comparison.

The "example" is a regal styled one, of which normal accessories are based on. Then the other styles are of the buttload of crests in the game, coming in the following styles:
-Cobalt
-Solid Cobalt
-Mighty Cobalt
-Azure Guardian
-Vanguard
-OOO staff (gotta give them some love too, y'know?)
-'Standard,' with regal as the sample
-Prismatic, based off the Lockdown banner
-Proto, since there IS a proto crest
-Status/Family, with the fire symbol being replaced by the symbol of choice.

The pole holding the flag would be recolored depending on the style.

"Shut up and raise the flag"

Referring to my post above, consider making the flags more than an accessory; an active buff for teammates. Rather than wield a weapon, you raise a flag with your right hand which gives buffs to those around you while allowing you to shield; hold the attack command to keep the flag buff up for your nearby allies, shield to shield; no attacking with the flag, sweeping the flag, or impaling things with it. The flag would either be held by the pole in your hand or have something to occupy your right hand while active.

Or we could just have the accessory.

I would love to see this as a guild thing. GM's would be able to equip the most flashy banner, officer a smaller flyer, veterans a ribbon or something

@Luguiru

While it is an interestin' idea, how would it work? Would it be charged, like a bomb? Even then, what defensive value would it bring? Sure, you can buff yourself and your teammates, but let's say in a hypothetical situation, you're wearing four of these. Then you're pretty much stuck with bombs that don't explode. TF2 can pull it off due to EVERY character always having a melee weapon, meanin' that they aren't completely defenseless. Would raising the flag send off a shockwave that damages enemies? Or will the flag be used like a sword?

The idea of a buffing weapon has always made me think of the Wild Hunting Blade, and how it'd be interestin' to have the charge attack have the Ghost Wolver howl, givin' an offensive buff.

The miniboss lv icon, and

ALMIRIAN!!!

@Atrumvindex

Monster families share the same "layout" as the status badges, so I just lazily grouped them together in my post.

Minibosses do not have any crests whatsoever, so I did not include them.

There is no Almirian Crest, either. I'd be willing to make a couple mockups on my take of it just to make the flags, though.

I'm talking about their icon, the Castle icon is the almarian symbol.
