The most fun glitch for quite some time

I normally don't encourage bugs or glitches. That said, there are those which are so bizarre on paper that just need to be seen to be believed. I don't know how long this has been in existence, but the Preliminary Patch Notes for 3.1.1 highlight a very awesome and hilarious glitch relating to the Appearance Designer.

When you enter the appearance modifier, you can still "interact" in the outside world. This includes mounting up. Until next week, if you mount up whilst modifying your character's body type and exit after applying the changes (you do have to apply; you can't just exit after changing the sliders and doing nothing else), you will find that your appearance has changed a little bit more than you could have possibly imagined, as Calphaya demonstrates.

Isn't she a majestic sight?
Theoretically, this should work with any mount. The funniest ones will doubtless be the ones which "need" a pilot, like the Walkers and Meditation chairs, although I doubt anything could top the strange sight of a set of Wings of the Architect just flapping about like it's nobody's business.

Sadly, this isn't permanent. Any cast of any sort would cancel this out, and I'd imagine the same would be true of travelling. Also, if you want to make the most of this before next week, you'd need to have a fair amount of Cartel Coins (80 per temporary transformation).

Still, this is definitely the funniest glitch I've come across for a long time now.
