Reflections on the ice

Last year I farmed on the ice for 3 months and of course you could see the city under the ice, I'm pretty sure there was no reflection of myself on it though like there is now. You can see your buffs and everything floating around in the reflection, looks very cool.

When was that done? Surely I wouldn't have not noticed it before lol

Only reflections I can remember was from gold. But I'm sure there was no buffs lol .... hmm seeing as they are changing so much stuff they better change the god damn names for XL pots.

Maybe it was only done recently, I noticed it on my blader the other day when I got some buffs added, the combos reflect too which look cool.

Been on the ice a few times, never seen any reflections, might check it out when they open up again. Doubt I'll see anything with my crappy graphics tho.

i know if you held down z for the drop names to show up, the words would actually be reflected off the ice too

I train my char near Bood Flowers and I noticed really long blades of grass that were never there before. :p I guess they added some graphical improvements. It looks cool. ;o

It has been doing it since I went on the ice a while back, maybe 8 - 9 months ago?

It is really cool, unless you have a widescreen, then there are two inches on either side where it repeats. >.>

Yeah lol, there was another one inbetween Mamba and this one but the build seemed too similar to what I'd already made so I ditched him. I always get bored once I reach 70+ cuz I end up with nothing to do cuz I don't like pvp and end up starting over.

I figured if I could get a blader capped I could just run round kd'ing everyone and having some fun for once without dieing.

If you turn your reflections off, can you still see the reflections in the ice?

*yawn* Who is so connected to the game that can notice these smalls differences at the time they happen? Better and accurately information, ask JM, if they hear you.

Because when grinding for hours on end at the same place, you notice things like that.
