I see. I didn't think of

I see. I didn't think of that. And I was forgetting about the spell-saving thing. But the new version won't allow for layers, anyway, right? From what I've heard. So this doesn't really change anything.
I didn't even know people could have animal spells underneath a normal deer. I saw someone sneeze and turn into a bunny once, but I had no idea how they did it.

God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen

God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen is my favorite Christmas song, one that people probably know the melody to but isn't so mainstream as some of the others. Here is another version with more instrumental parts.

Hope that helps Eye

@Paz & Seed (basically

@Paz & Seed (basically responding to the conversation |D): Nine explains it better in the blog she posted. The comments it has go into more detail too, as well as quote that spells on mini-deer might be implemented later on without having to glitch. =D
But yea, I do that "deer-to-animal" thing. |D My ninja uses it to make a quick getaway. Walking into De Drinkplaats as a small animal and walking out will turn you back into a deer. After this, you'll see in your spell inventory that you can sneeze off a transformation spell. Clicking this sneezes you back to the animal you were before (or mini-deer, since it's also a transformation). I can live without this, but until pelt-casting on mini-deer is available, people will be discouraged from updating TEF.
I also have a few deer I like to have layered spells on to sneeze through. But in 3.4, only the last spells cast on you will get saved when you tell the server to save your data or you exit the game. (Or so I've read.)

@Quad: Even though I'm not religious (and was born a Muslim actually XD), that song sounds really nice. I like the Middle Eastern sound to the second version. =]

@everyone: Keep the songs coming! =D Even parody songs. You'll get to listen to them in December. ;D I have plans, yes...

I don't really use stacking

I don't really use stacking much and have no need for mini pelts or layered transformation spells. I have sometimes used stacking for fun, but it's not something I would really miss a whole lot. So, so far I have no reason not to download the new version. I like the idea of being able to save and load sets. I'm just waiting for it to be out of beta.

It's almost ready for release actually. They were saying they wanted to get it out before Halloween. =]

I won't be downloading it personally, meh, I can live without fixed pictograms

Sorry Pega, I didn't even

Sorry Pega, I didn't even think about that. It was just the first song that came to mind.

I know there are versions without the lyrics available if you like the melody.
Seed's picture

Well, Kinsha's

Well, Kinsha's shapeshift-switching is still very possible. It's like how Hyacinth has candles -- she has the candles, but if I don't need the candles, I can just sneeze them off and put on flowers... and then switch back to candles in a second, provided I remember to re-load the candles before logging out (I forgot to do this once with Seed, hence why he doesn't have them).

Shapeshifting spells would work the same way.

Stacking and mini-spells are the things lacking, which is very sad. I think I would go for 3.4, for a number of reasons, the least of which that I don't worry about that sort of thing.
Pegasicorn's picture

@Vandetta: I'll probably be

@Vandetta: I'll probably be waiting to download it myself, to see if anything else gets added anytime soon to take out people's worries. (For one, saving multiple sets for each deer would be nice if they don't add saving stacking.)

@Quad: Don't worry about it. The song does sound nice. I hardly ever tell people what religion I was born into anyway, and I can't really call myself anything actually since the only way I follow it is by not eating pork. XD;

@Seed: You can save a shapeshift and still have the spells from deer form under it? o.o If this is the case, I'm a little less reluctant to switch now. But I still like the current spell method. Kinsha wears 2 different pelts (the dark one is like a security blanket; sneezing it off to his gold one shows he's more comfortable with who he's around), and without stacking being saved, there goes that. ^^; Plus, I'd need a lot of help with Toukan's yearly antler shedding.
For now, I'll wait.

I'm not religious either, but

I'm not religious either, but there are a lot of Christmas songs I like that are religious songs. Really there aren't very many Christmas songs that aren't[/t] religious. Considering it [i]is primarily a religious holiday. Or at least it used to be... Anyway, I listen more for the music than the actual message. I hardly ever pay much attention to lyrics when I'm listening to any music, anyway.

Haha sorry about Zephyr, she

Haha sorry about Zephyr, she didn't know that Bast doesn't wear a mask. She's a fashion guru that thinks everyone needs a makeover Eye

Hope she didn't annoy you with the mask spells. It was supposed to be funny playing her in-character.

If he did wear a mask, though, it would be the long/tribal mask, though with a repaint. Eye

BLOG POST/DEER STATUS

Finally installed and tried out version 3.4.
Was only on long enough to obtain Numb's skull mask and Bastilion's zombie antlers. I'll deal with the rest of the spells later since they're not Halloween ones.
Other than that, I'll be sticking with 3.31 for now (I have both). I kind of like not having to click on 3 error messages every time the Forest starts up... That, and I'm reluctant to give up my spell-stacking (as well as use of different spelldata for when Toukan "goes bald" again).

I'm not sure if it was 3.4 causing this or if it was due to the huge amount of deer in, but my pictos took longer to spread. I'll test out how it is with 3.31 in a sec.
ShadowsofLight's picture

Hm...my pictos spread faster

Hm...my pictos spread faster than normal tbh with 3.4, which I dl'd as well, oh, and if you're about in the next wee while and want me to set help then I'll do that.

The spread speed seemed about

The spread speed seemed about the same or slightly faster in 3.31 just now. Could just be my internet "having a moment" or complaining at the amount of deer. *shrug* It's fast, but it has its moments.
And I'm in no rush to get my deer's set, but thanks for the offer. =]

I can kind of whistle. I can never remember how I got it to work the last time, so my first attempts on any day are weird. XD; But I manage to trick the birds.

8o I would have never figured how to make it work at all. lol Poor birdies! =D
I've tried to trick birds without a whistle, it does not often work. We have some weird sounding birds.
Magpies are funny sounding, by the way. *Random*

I usually just mess with the house sparrows. XD Sometimes they land on the window sill. Had one randomly chirp sitting on there yesterday. It was right after I made a comment on something to my mom, too, like it was trying to be involved in the conversation. Laughing out loud
...magpies sound interesting. *tries to imagine the magpie mask having a call like that*

Oh, so cute

Oh, so cute <3!
Lolol! =D We have birds fly onto the patio quite often as we have two budgies there. Despite the fact my dog, Ruby has her bed beneath the ledge our budgies' cage is. These birds fly onto the patio and walk around, picking up the stray piece of birdseed and Ruby just watches them! LAZY.

They do, 83 Very common here. They often bring their babies to forage for food, and the young have grey rather than black feathers. They're so kyooot. I assumed that it did have that call until I heard it. 8D

DEER STATUS Since you can't

DEER STATUS

Since you can't see the candles in version 3.31, I might as well get my set-collecting in 3.4 out of the way.
Looks like there isn't really a difference in my framerate between the 2 versions (maybe one frame difference; I'll check how it goes with other deer around), and the picto spread was about the same speed today. Guess I'll move over to playing version 3.4 for the most-part then, but I'll keep 3.31 for random occasions (I kept 3.2 for awhile when 3.3 was released at first too).

I should be able to live without spell-stacking being saved; it'll just take some getting used to. I'll also need to have "OOC moments" for Toukan's antler shed and regrowth. Laughing out loud
I'll miss having candles always at the ready. But that's what keeping 3.31 is for.


MAIN POINT OF THIS: collecting my deer's sets. Feel free to throw spells at them when you see them.
I'll be updating the "list" up in the main post as this goes along.
The only one I won't be getting the set for yet is Triston, since his new picto isn't grown up yet. He is one I will continue to play using 3.31 only, so that he can share Bastilion's picto for now.

TEHEEE

All the "Dragonfly Deer" have their sets.
All that's left are the non-D-fly Deer (Bastilion, Numb, and possibly Toefat).

I'm sorry I have so many deer. ^^;


THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE HELPED.
(Mick, Unplugged, Celeste, Laruna, Estme?, a fawn I don't know. Am I forgetting anyone? I feel like I am.)


I think I'll worry about the rest of the sets the next time I decide to play the other deer. |D

EDIT: I DON'T HAVE ANY DANCE MUSIC. WTF.

Oh, and it turned out to not be the right pelt. When Bast turned back into an adult, it was the fan (striped) pelt. >.<

He's not really bothered by the teasing. Laughing out loud Toukan tolerates a lot. Besides, he hears worse. I swear blushing records were broken. |D

Um... thank you, for teaching Ravus how to air-rub.

and I'm really sorry about last night, Toukan.

xDD Ravus has gotten her other friends to worship him as well. And then some.

XDD No problem. Just felt

XDD No problem. Just felt like being silly, and then passing on that knowledge of being silly. (Learned how to "tree-rub" other deer over a year ago from Pepokeen/Crucible. I figured out it works the opposite way too, for "hugging" trees. Laughing out loud) Made me wish I had a way to use words, though. "How do you say, 'you need to click the second action before the first takes place' in Forest language??"

"Worship"? Somehow that doesn't sound so good. XD;;

Toukan was just like, "Not gonna use me as a shield. Not getting in the way of Ravus' rage... *air-sits in attempt to get out of the way*"

Air-rubbing? Any idea what

Air-rubbing?

Any idea what was going on with Jergens and Jack?

LOL. "Ilu, tree. *Hug hug.*"

LOL. "Ilu, tree. *Hug hug.*" I *think* I even saw Toukan sniff the tree at one point. Rofl. You made a good judgment call--it was a huge hit with us. xDD

... you're right, it sounds creepy. Ravus's respect for Toukan is purely good-intentioned, but after last night, I just can't say those other deer weren't a little creepy about it. xD

xDD That was great. Not to mention Toukan had that awesome way of like... adjusting his air-sitting position so that whenever Phylux, the stealth-nuzzler, got too close to him in the air Toukan would get up and move.

Paz... I'm not very good at air-rubbing so I can't describe how to do it yet, but it is basically when your deer rubs up against the air (or, more commonly, another deer) and rubbing it like it's a tree. A good time for all? xD Idon'tknow.

Oh. I thought you meant

Oh. I thought you meant rubbing a tree while in the air. X3;
