Who else here of having just about everyone later game has the same armor. Maybe not everyone but like every 5 people has the same armor, i'm really hoping in Ch3 they add TONS of new armor skins so not everyone looks the same. I hope they add a 'Unique' Armor set for each class, a armor that no other class can wear, like The Mesmer and Warrior unique armor wont look anything alike at all, Cause well it's unique. Sorry if this didn't make much sense i had a hard time putting what i wanted to say into words.


PS Warrior Unique armor is Spartan Armor (THEY HAVE GO TO ADD SPARTAN ARMOR!!!!)(Not Rome Total War Spartan armor) I don't mean Master Cheif armor. I'm talking bout this http://www.esford.com/AH6071B%20musc...ur%20brass.jpg http://www.globeimports.com/graphics/S-36203T.JPG (This but with that fuzzy thing on top forgot what it's called) Not really armor but they got to add this sword http://jodysamson.com/images/swords/10-6-05/falcata.jpg

Grind is subjective

learn this please

All armor is already class-specific. I don't understand.

2 genders x # of Armors x # classes x # of armor configurations x #skintones x #hairstyles x #dye combinations x #of height variation x #faces x #weapon set x #skill sets = How many unique characters you could possibly have.

If you meld into the crowd, try a different dye set.

I think he means W/Me armor vs W/Mo armor?

I agree with this. Ever since Factions came out there has been gazillions of people in 15k Kurzick armor. Pretty much every warr either wears Kurzick or Fissure now it seems.

They definitely could use a lot more variety of high end armor skins.

But but but i love my female warrior's 15k kurzick armor. its sooo cool.
Would be nice if there was a way to go to an armor crafter and smith a set of armor unique to yourself. Kinda hard really.

What I want would be an armor crafter where i can preview the armor i buy so i can properly gauge if i really want it or not. Heck. Would be nice also if we can get the dye person to prieview armor in the colors we want them.

Eh, I'll be sticking with my Krytan warrior armor.
It is sort of sad that everybody wears the same armor. That is why I'm glad I mix and match from different armor sets.

Same here, you can get some really good mixes with different sets. Which is one thing I really like about the armor in Factions. You can choose your mods on it, and mix the design while still getting the look and mods you are seeking. Unlike in Proph where you had really odd looking combos to get the mods you were after.

it would be cool to see different combos on War/Mes War/Mon ect ect - but that would really hurt when switching secondaries (unless the skin changed with you).

PS. What's wrong with Rome Total War Spartan armor? I think it looks pretty good. And please, NO Halo near this game.

Well, so far I'm really pleased with how my armor sets mixes + dye combos for my e/me, mo/a, and r/ri have turned out, and I haven't seen a single clone yet.

You just have to be unique, some armor mixes look better than using the same armor for the whole body.

Wow, that is so amazing, but never going to happen.

THINK ABOUT THE PVP PLAYERS! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE PVP PLAYERS?!?? HOW WILL SOME MESMER KNOW THAT OPPOSING BUSTY TALL FEMALE CHARACTER IN THE OPPOSING TEAM IS ACTUALLY A MONK NOT AN ELE?!

Somehow my guess is they stuck with fixed "body types" for each class for easy identification in PvP.

If anything it is one more aspect of PvE getting hamstringed cos of PvP which nobody cares about.

I see a lot of variation in the armor that everyone is wearing, except the warriors. Its not due to a lack of choice in the armors, its just that they all prefer the same armor look.

Each class has its armors looking very different from all other classes, so dont we already have this.

/unsigned as I feel we already have this option, just that some people don't take it

Character building is intentionally simplified to keep bandwidth reasonable. Consider how long it would take to load HA D1 with that level of customization.

I'd rather have it stay the same. Loading a few similar faces vs loading tons of different faces makes my computer(and by extension, me) more happy. We don't like long loads. They make us sad. You wouldn't like us when we're sad(insert Hulk rip-off scene here).

Seriously, it's a nice idea, but it should just stay as a nice idea. I personally don't look at the skintone or face of anyone around me. Obviously, if I see a black character I'm gonna go "O wow, that's the first black char I've seen this month...:O" but otherwise it's not important. I don't spend to much time looking at faces either, not because most of them are alike, but because it takes too long to look at a lot of faces, and it gets boring.

If you want a unique character, make some kind of crazy awesome dye color on your fav armor and go with it. Aesthetics are nice, but I'd rather see other more important things done with the dev's time. This "Let's add 'Ward' to the Ward of Harm description" kind of update stuff is really angering me and my computer.

Foolish. The first Phantasy Star Online game, on DREAMCAST, running on 56k modems, had that level of customisation, and the lobby areas ran ok. The entire body proportion model runs off 2 numbers (if you look at the sliders) and each settable attribute is just a single number. Not much data in the greater scheme of things.

Although people should bear in mind that PSU does not have wearable armour. The clothes you choose at creation are the clothes you stay in.

For me, I dont care, since I like a fixed costume/clothing rather than bits and pieces of armour I've collected (GW is good since you choose the look of your armour anyway), but some people I guess like to show off their uber leet armour of grindingness. You can show off your cool double lightsaber and stuff like that though.

Oh, and if PSO is anything to go by, PSU will have ridiculous amounts of grind. However, it's an action game, so all that fighting is supposedly fun.

Why dont they just add some of the npc armours to the crafters, there are some brilliant ones.eg farrah cappo, devona rurik and others.
They cauld also let us use some of the npc faces/hairstyles etc.

I think they still haven't added 15k Knight's armor. Either that, or it's one of those with a completely insignificant difference between 1.5k and 15k, like Platemail or Luxon Male Assassin leggings.

Well, i just want more armor vareation.
Ok i found a way to sorta explain my unique armor. You all know that everyone can get Kurzick, or Luxon Ect. BUT each class has 1 typeof armor that no one else can get, it's there unique armor.
