My dream armor

edited May 2021 in General Discussion
I'm fond of the style of armor Intrepid showed on february. Stylized, detailed and lean.
vlcsnap-2021-02-28-11h51m29s597.png

Yesterday Intrepid asked on twitter what other types of armor we would like seeing implemented in the game, so I have one question:
b8908428a0660ce34a0f0aeacf47f42251b9f005.gifv

1- Dark blue with secondary black material
2- Hourglass waist with oval shoulder pads
3- Particle effect in the helmet emulating a plume
4- A black aura and a red glowing visor would me amazing

Something along this line.
The chest piece looks a bit noisy.

Red particle effects looks awesome on dark blue and black

The look and details of the armor delivered in february is great, I wouldn't mind just getting a re-color with some particle effects added.

    As a future bard player I really like more elegant stiles tbh.

  • Elegance is tied to the taste of the beholder.

    Some people like spikes, horns and strapped leather.
    I think they are silly. But to each their own.

    It's funny that you say this. I want to be the biggest person on the battlefield but I don't want to sacrifice quality looks to get that. If all goes according to plan, I will get my spikes, I will get my horns, I will be huge......and it will look elegant AF.

    Big fan of what I am seeing here.
    I don't think I would wear the helm, but the rest looks fantastic.

    I don't think spikes and horns are compatible with elegance, but you are free to prove me wrong :P

    I'm a huge nerd for greek-roman history and warfare. I hope we get something inspired in this.
    Maybe fom the Empyrean race. Just not with the horn in the shoulder, that looks idiotic.
  • KhronusKhronus Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    @Tacualeon The elegance and beauty of horns and spikes are tied to this beholder my friend. Not all spikey armor needs to be exploding in rough/bloody fashion. Horns on dragons are usually sleek in design and flow with the scales.

    I agree.
    What type of design have you enjoyed in games?

    Awesome color palette and patterns. Does the flying books come as particle effects on the armor?
    What class would wear this?
  • AlrotaAlrota Member
    I always like the glowing and shiny ones the most. So from what I've seen so far, I quite like a couple of these ones:

    "What class would wear this?"

    @Nagash postet that. There is only one answer:
    They are graverobbers and corpsefladderers. Brothers of worms and carrion birds.
    They are.... Necromancers.

    Here some more armors that I really like.
    I think I am overall a big fan of armor that could be worn in duels etc, elegance and deadly accuracy instead of brute strength and pure metal plate.

    This is a helmet I hope they make someday.
    Deadly optimization. 2000 years of evolution in armor lead to this. Plus the handcraft of the blacksmith who made it.

    Foot-Combat Helm of Sir Giles Capel (1485–1556)
    So rounded and symmetric it makes me want to cry. This is like the David of helmets for it's proportions :D

    Any other pauldron would work, I think.
    I'm a fan of greek arms and armor and anything inspired by it. The fur looks super good on top.

    The contrast in materials brings bright to the whole set. I hope we see more chainmail and coats paired with plate.

    This is my favorite. Few spikes looks good and the silhouette is tasteful. Hourglass shape, rounded chest and oval head.

    I like the patterns lamellar armor creates. If they decide to get inspired, chinese cataphracts set look shiny and chrome.

    You don't have to be a Mindflayer to wear a Mindflayers armor...

    Not full plate, but there is some plate in there.
