This time, the theme is Cooperation. Whether you battle a tough boss, fight your way through a dungeon, or complete one of the quests or trophies - any screenshot that features you and your friends working together is perfect for this event.
As with the previous event, anyone that participates will receive a Blue Camera on all their characters, and of course, the best screenshots will be posted on the 'Features' page for everyone to see.

A camera with an aluminium casing, fitted with a long strap. Wear it around your neck, so you have it ready when you need it!
* Neck
* Requires Level 26
* 4 Armor
* Agility +15
* Dexterity +15
* Stamina +17
So, what do you have to do?
Take a screenshot that goes with the Cooperation theme, or pick one from your screenshot gallery (which you can get to by clicking on your character after logging in). Once you have one or more screenshots that you think will go great with this event, post them here in this thread, by using the [screenshot] code that you find at the bottom of every screenshot page.
For example,
Code: [Select]
[screenshot]559.5f64f408[/screenshot]will give 
There are a few things to keep in mind:
- Avoid having chat in the game-field that isn't relevant to the screenshot and the theme. Less is more! Any screenshot that is featured might be sized down to fit, so it would be hard to read chat.
- Try not to have interface-elements such as name-tags, equipment windows or similar in important parts of the screenshot (for example, the chatbox at the bottom is okay, but a name tag in the middle would kind of take away from the screenshot. same goes for the /status box, and the cursor - if you can, try moving it out of the window). My screenshot has the status box in the top, and myself and the cursor kind of in the way, so it is not too great here.
- A good idea is to screenshot "the action" - if everyone is just standing there, it's pretty hard to see what you are cooperating on. Screenshot the fight, a battle. For example, in the screenshot I posted, I'd say that it's not difficult to see what is going on, and it's easy to tell everyone apart - from the monsters attacking, to the two mages fighting.
- At the same time, it might also be confusing if too much is going on at once. When everyone is clumped up in a heap, it becomes hard to see what you are doing. Getting the right balance between enough action and not too much action can be a real challenge!
This event will run until three submissions have been made, but at least until January 20, 2013. Which means, if you post your screenshot until January 20, you are fine, however after January 20, the third submission will end the event.
Any questions? Post them here as well and I'll get back to them as soon as I can. ^-^
Otherwise: Good luck once again!

That one is set to private. :3

Nooot really. It's meant to be about cooperation with others, not with yourself and the pet AI. XD
:D Tere Work!
That one is pretty nice, but .. "Not enough fury!"
You can type "/option errors" to hide most of the error messages. ;P
This One Is Good :D Show's Some Cooperation
That's a .. cooperative walk? XD
It's not that easy for me to cooperate, but, I believe one of my friends was with me, that time, just longer up or so :/
Well, I'm sure you can find someone, or even start a level 1 character with a friend and get Zandra.
do you have to battle for it?
Chatting is cooperative, buuuut not quite what this is about. XD So - yeah.

I never said she was difficult. Only if someone keeps running into the roots, or never smites the poison bolt barrage, or drops the poison puddle in the middle of the room. Anyhow, as you said, that's off topic :3

Working together to beat a threatening boss:
Battling away at BFA:
Now for the screenshots actually directed for this event~
Using teamwork to lure the Emeraldscale lizard out!
~re-shot, see below~
Aiding the spirits in breaking down the monastery door:
Cooperating to lead Rudolf >>>
Due to the probability of the chat box being cropped out,
these latter screenshots do contain skit dialogue.
Post by: toby on January 20, 2013, 02:22:51 pm
I like those two screenshots quite a bit (your pose at the monastery looks funny, but then again, it adds variety XD).
The emeraldscale lizard definitely requires quite a bit of cooperative play, but from the screenshot it's not really obvious what's going on, and why you are standing there. I think a better screenshot might be while luring it out - two or three lizards running, with the em-scale lizard chasing closely after them.
Post by: PaiKai on January 21, 2013, 12:13:11 am
I'll expect to see a bunch more of these below this post xD

Because, Soldier Lizards are fun! :D
Simply cause i think it should~ And toby had fun flying XD

Sinceeeee they're not on the screenshot database? XD
Willow liked both of them but she liked #2 better. She did like the flying lizard though. I still can't decide.

Sadly this is probably the only screenie I have that fits the theme </3
Darn you lag and school!

Just remembered when I first discovered my Fliffy form XD I took this one!Does this count as Cooperating? XD
Nooot quite XD It's cute, but you're not really cooperating. More like separating!
Sadly this is probably the only screenie I have that fits the theme </3
It works! It's more cooperative than many other screenshots, even if the casters look as if they're just standing there. XD
That one makes a really nice PvP screenshot. Not quite what I thought of when posting cooperative play, but you are actually being quite cooperative - to your own team. XD
I like those a lot too (just Casper looks weird in that frame XD).
or this http://myu.icyworlds.net:4901/data/screenshots/2895/d70cc46.jpg
You should use the [screenshot] code. Those work, tho on the first one the boss is already dead (so cooperative looting? XD) Also, you are a bit late, but I'll count it since I didn't officially close this event until now.
Post by: toby on January 25, 2013, 10:45:11 pm
A lot of the screenshots are fitting - the ones I personally like most are those that show some action, which I was looking for. Which admittingly isn't too easy to get, if you have spell casters which have a few idle frames every once in a while.
This is a good Tere screenshot - a lot going on, but it's not overloaded or confusing.
I am not counting your private screenshot, because I can't see it without scp-ing the file over which I'm not doing, since your screenshot is, well, private.
Those have a lot of action - the first one has quite odd poses, but that adds variety, and the second one has Rudolf in it, which is quite recent. Hope you survived that pull!
Same goes for that one - good catch.
The lizard ones where great ideas, so kudos for those. They might be a bit confusing for someone who doesn't know what's going on, so they probably won't go on the featured page. Buuuut we'll see
I'm surprised no one thought of Goldsnare or Ragefang - none of those spiders can survive alone, so they have a ton of cooperation too. XD
Anyway, that brings this screenshot contest to a close. The items are going to be sent out after the next reboot - see you next contest!
