Is the TC Fish Armor Compendium Gone?

Is the TC Fish's Armor Aquarium gone? I haven't looked for it because I haven't been playing in months. This was the best source of photos of all the Guild Wars armor sets. Does anybody know if it's gone for good? I suppose all good things must come to an end, and the Wiki is getting better armor shots. Still, nothing beat this for just looking at armor styles.

Since I am on Tc's Site, I have not seen him in ages and have not heard of anything from him. I could say yes he is gone but i wouldnt' know. But for sure since his site hasn't been updated since October 2nd and hasn't been on since, yah hes pretty much gone. But who knows, he might come back =o (My pics are under the Necromancer section)

I used to go to that site to check out armors. Dunno if it's gone for good :s

getting "better"?

Renders - dont get better

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Mesmer_armor

If it went down, it was very very recently. I was checking armors there about a week ago.

Dude, that IS better. They used to have jack for visual representations of armor. JACK! I think there was like one generic armor appearance page that just said "Tyrian" "Canthan" and "Elonian." The thing you stuck up at least shows all the different armor styles. I'm not sure why or how they made everything so cartoony looking. Too bad Mesmer armor is the worst in the game anyway. They all look like some kind of Harlequin Jester or something. Still, for overall gayness, the Paragon is always going to win.

I guess I'll still hold out hope that the Aquarium is coming back. It sounds doubtful though. He probably just got tired of paying the rent on his server. ...or rather the 2 year advance ran out, and he didn't feel like continuing to pay.

In what way are the renders cartoony?

And mesmer armour happens to be the best in game

Wow, I guess I really must start checking the official wiki from time to time!

However, while the renders look great, and really made me wish I had a male Mesmer, they dont always look like the armors in-game. Necromancer Monument Armor, for instance, is an unfortunate middle gray color, not stylishly black like it is in the rendering.

thats why I picked them for an example ;D

I like the whole "Rainbow flair" of mesmers

not to sound downgrading, but checked the gamma/brightness settings on your game?

On that note, why does anyone ever make a male Elementalist? I mean seriously. Look at the dudes, and they're almost as bad as the Mesmers, but the chicks all look awesome.

Then again, I am kind of biased by my biology. I pretty much make a female everything except Warrior and Paragon. Paragon again just because it's actually so gay-looking that it's funny to me.

I love my ele as far as skills and pwnage go, but IMO, his armor does and always will suck. I do like warrior armor though, and thank god i have one of them. anyways, i've always used wiki for armor viewings.

Not black. Gray. And not a nice gray, but dirty gray.

EDIT: I just noticed that the armor is different too, e.g. the detail of the sleeves and the length of the armor - I don't think the wiki armor is the "release version" of the armor.

I can always make it like the realse with a mod if you want, I'll mod anything me

just PM if you want to get it how you want lol

If texmod was a bit less buggy perhaps...

My main point wasn't to complain about the dirt-gray armor either, but to point out that the official wiki armor renderings don't always match the in-game armors.
