Possible Race Only Cosmetics?

Greetings adventurers!


An announcement was made earlier yesterday about the new store items taking effect as of 2pm EST 11amPDT I hope to share with you all.
Quote:

"Glorious Ashes community! Updates to the store will be implemented tomorrow (7/3/18) morning at around 11am PDT. Additionally, our next live stream will be Monday July 9th, 2018 at 3pm PDT" 

Also to note that the next live stream will be coming up soon! Which I am looking forward too quite a bit. 

Further more Steven posted a "leak" featuring a male and female dwarf wearing what appears to be a new cosmetic item. What I find most noteworthy is the Fire and Ice staffs. However leak and the announcement of new store items have no solid definite relation to each other albeit quite likely it was no coincidence.

Also it is unclear and just speculation on my part and a few others I talked to, is that are they showcasing the dwarf only cosmetics (Noted by the way the staffs are made to look dwarf made or dwarf like.)  Or just showcasing the cosmetics on dwarfs and just to show a bit more of dwarf artwork? My ultimate question is why make the dwarf the choice of advertising Cosmetics?

What's your guys opinion on this? Do you like the skins or have any thoughts on it? What else do you think is gonna be in the store? Maybe if they are showing dwarf only cosmetics, maybe they will have other race cosmetics thrown in today as well.

    I'm pretty sure they are dwarf themed cosmetics not dwarf only ones kind of like how last months cosmetics seemed to be themed after one of the orc races. 

    The way gear has been described so far is each race will have it's own look/style/theme for gear. Elves will look different in heavy armor then humans or dwarfs. These cosmetics seem to be a way to give people the option to take a race's theme to any race.

    I could be wrong but this is my current understanding of things.
  • If that is true, I have underestimated the level of detail AoC is going with these cosmetics! With each cosmetic getting a different racial theme very cool!

    Fairly common thing now to have Orcs look different in the same armor as a human just simply because of body design/shape.

    We have been told buildings will have certain looks based on race, so it's not to far out there to assume gear will also be this way.
  • Yes, I totally agree - Only dwarfs will be allowed the glory that is a beard. All other races can, at best, wear mutton chops sans mustache.

    wait... did I miss a detail in the discussion?

  • Many races will probably have beards, but not as grand as dwarfs. ;)
