When can I simply sub in T2 graphics for all my armor, forever?

If wow needs to steal anything, it is appearance slots. Farming for cool looking gear sets is fun in EQ2.

this is one thing a lot of micro transaction games did well, pay to make you look better.

Blizzard has always maintained that they won't do this because opponents are supposed to be able to see what you're wearing and to immediately gauge how good your gear is.

However, this has gone out the window for PvP sets as they all look very similar now except the hats and sometimes shoulders. Then they made 232, 245 and 258 T9 sets identical. So I'd say that reasoning is no longer relevant to them, I wonder if they'll revisit that idea.

Blizzard stick to a game mechanic that is no longer relevant? Say it ain't so!

Besides, they could always just shut it off in arena/bg's. Not that it matters much since most of the time you or they are dead before you even see their armor. Hitpoints is almost a better indicator then actually seeing the gear.

Blizzard could easily get around the "knowing what youre wearing" problem by adding a PVP con that displays average iLevel instead of player level in BGs or Arenas and allow you to toggle it in the open world.

They put a lot of work into art assets only to have them become irrelevant every 6 months or so. Plus who wouldnt want to make a unique look for their character (or at least not in the same gear as EVERY other player of your class)

Lejina Bloodbath · 10-23-2009, 04:24 PM

Shit, you can barely tell the class from the gear set the opponent is wearing now.

Or just disable appearance slots in BG/Arena/WG-type zones. I mean, it's not like anyone except crazy people genuinely gives a fuck about PvP outside of those.

Most logical counterargument to the whole "But pvp!" argument is "Druids. Checkmate asshole."

k^M · 10-23-2009, 07:15 PM

Curiously I'd love to see what the general population would chose as their appearance if dye-able armor came into play like EQ did. If they all chose the "I'm a troll, so I need to wear rainbow plate" it'd be kind of amusing

stop - if you're entering competitive arena, you know what you're fighting instantly, end of story.

Appearance slots would be awesome. I used to tank farm runs in this back in vanilla for fun. Looked great on my gnome

Russet Hat - Item - World of Warcraft

Appearance slots would actually get people to do some old school stuff. Gotta farm all that leet gear to look spiffy.

Sutekh · 10-23-2009, 07:51 PM

Fuck your gay appearance slots, worst idea ever.
