15K Kurzick Armor WTH!!!!

Ok I was originally going to get 15k Kurzick armor (female) as my standard armor, but I went with Luxon instead.

One of the main reasons I decided against it was because I saw someone in the game with it and it looked like crap. Very much unlike the pic they have at Guildwiki of it.

Now I was sure that it was the 15K version and not the 1.5K version. However, I recently saw another female wearing it and it looked just as beautiful as the pic at Guildwiki. So I thought ok, maybe I was just mistaken and it really was the 1.5K that I had seen before.

However, just tonight I saw another person wearing it and it looked like crap again. When I say crap I mean that it seemed to be very pixilated and the lines seem to be a bit "crunchy" if you know what I mean. Now I noticed one thing. The pic at Guildwiki and the chick I saw with it looking the same, were both undyed. The one I saw that looked like crap was more of a silver color, and I'm pretty sure that was what color it was the first time I saw it (like crap) as well.

So is there a known reason for this? Does dying it silver make it look like crap or is it some type of system glitch?

oO?

When your in towns if I am not mistaken armors look worse... to keep from lagging everyone. When you go outside I believe all armors look better.

In town, armor on other people is low rez. Outside town or on yourself, it's a different story.

As was said, all armor textures become low resolution textures when in town. The resolution kicks up when outside those public areas. The screens you seeon Guildwiki (usually the ones at the character selection screen) are what the armors will look like outside the public areas.

Ah wakarimasu.

It's all clear to me now. I thought it might be something like that.

Mmm, I prefer the cleaner 1.5k Kurzick to the busier 15k version myself... except perhaps for the 15k hauberk to cover the bare shoulder... and maybe the 15k helm. I think the 1.5 version has a cuter ass too, and that's important

I found that mixing the 15k torso with 1.5 everywhere else looked best. Endowing armor in all the right places . . ..

AH SO THAT'S WHAT IT WAS...

I just noticed it too where certain armors in town looked ugly as hell and my armor looked the best...

1.5k Canthan Chimera blend of abilities... Bah...
Got to get me a nice new Luxom set [the demon armor looks good for Kurzich but I like the giant spiky dragonite look of the Luxom]

Executioner Helm collectors with sup. axe rune
Dreadnought's Cuirass of Sup. Abs.
Legionare's Boots and Gloves of Strength and Tactics respectively
Berserker Leggings of Sup. Vigor

Some say Legionare is the best armor vs. both ele and phys since a stance makes all of it 90+20 vs. phys... 90 - 110 AL is damn good but sometimes, I'm not in a stance [or worse, wild blow] and then getting nailed by multiple lighting spells REALLY starts to suck....

Dreadnought [aka dragon stats] seem to be the best in terms of all around defense... Not the ultimate vs. phys, but the best unconditional vs. elemental dmg. Am I thinking correctly in that regard or is there a better unconditional armor for the chest?

And yeah I was thinking about taking the leggings of the 1.5k as well, for the cute ass. LOL

But I would definately want the 15k helm, chest, boots, and gauntlets.

Another thing you can do while in a town to raise the rez and see armours as they should be is Up the graphics in your options menu.

O_o You people really like the ass on the 1.5k female kurzick better than the 15k? What, can't handle butts encased in silky silver contours?

Male warriors can't look good in any armor.

I'll admit that you look as good as possible for a male warrior in GW, but the comically bulky body model means that any female warrior standing next to you will look about 100x better ^_^.

That one is dyed silver, and tbh it looks better than the one I have dyed in black. You can't see the detail on the black one, and it doesn't match the gothic sword half as much.

I'll post a comparison shot of the silver vs black when I get on tonnight.

Glad people like the look

LOL

I think that warriors are the only prof that doesn't have a descent looking skin. They look like big slabs of meat with a little head attached to the top. And most of the armor on males looks terrible, as they have no contours. It’s just straight up and down like a barrel. But I guess to each their own...

Livingston i guess the other professions look alright if your into the popular new trends of today, and the emo scene and etc, and the anarexia look, but yea, personally the male warriors is about the only cool looking appearances i like, and well, thats how males are suppose to look and yes in rl women do have more contours and curves so they are both realistic, unless you disapprove of the look of every male in mankind, thats exactly the discription of an average male that goes to the gym regulary, but only way a dude could have contours or whatever you said in the post, is if they sit around and eat cheese puffs and grow curves

What skin of axe/hammer you would use if you weren't using a sword? Axe-wise Tyrian Sickle/Gothic Dual Axe would seem to fit best, but I can't figure out a decent hammer skin.

BTW, anyone have any decent looking 15k Luxon pics? The GuildWiki picture is kind of grainy, but the armor does look like it would be awesome with a Golden Maul...

It's at an angle, so it looks shorter. Here's a better picture of it: Gothic Sword
