Anyone think maybe our armor being pink is a mistake?

[Ma]

<DIV>I mean.. should we /bug this?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I now have enough of the armor to see that its got a pink chest, loin cloth on the leggings, and pink shin guards on the boots.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is not very "Ranger" in appearance...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I kinda thought maybe it was a graphical mistake.. then I saw that dwarf in purple armor at Qeynos harbor and thought.. yeah, someone who likes odd colors has got to be on the design team..  someone who doesn't like Rangers..</DIV>

[bli]

<DIV>Oh, I'm sure it's not a mistake.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bating rangers is a hobby Sony seems to enjoy a great deal. :p</DIV>

[Greymar]

<DIV>I posted about this earlier.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Its not a bug.  They changed the hue of the armor a few months before the beta ended.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think whomever was responsible for the armor color change at SoE doesnt think the armor is pink.  Perhaps in their minds, the armor is magenta, or light purple.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Whatever color it is, its not appropriate for a ranger.</DIV>

<DIV>Unless the animals you're hunting are high, then pink doesn't seem like good wilderness camouflage.</DIV>

[Keld]

<DIV>Pink?!?</DIV> <DIV>You must be joking. If thats true, I think a /bug is definitely in order, lol. At the very least we can let Sony know of our insecur...eh....displeasure <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>Yeah well, whatever.  Rangers are everything that isn't pink...  We should have camo or something.  Hell, brown leather is loads better than pink...</DIV>

Why not just bring back the ability to dye your armor any color you want like in EQ1? Hell, it's even good for the economy since someone has to make the dye for you first. Why simple stuff like this was left out still amazes me. If I get all my Defiler quest armor and find out it's purple or some other **ZOMG** color like that I'm gonna be one angry Troll..

[Voodoo Do]

<DIV>Dont worry defiler armor isnt purple its a poopy brown orange color, only evil or scary if you have changed a lot of babies diapers <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

I think we should keep it pink. From what my father told me when I laughed at people wearing pink years ago my father said "It takes a real man to wear pink" .. I agree with him.

What are three words that signify a ranger is going to die soon?"Welcome to Everquest"

[JTLJudoM]

I'm just teasin you guys. :-pIn all honesty. The hot pink apparel is meant to woo the mobs into a false sense of security. Then you can kill them when they are laughing on the ground. (Everyone knows how defenseless we are when we laugh right?) Sounds like a very sound strategy to me. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>No.... its not a mistake...  Hot pink is so totally you....  you just need to learn to love it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>you look FABULOUS!!!!  ITS SO SUPER TO SEE YOU!!!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://www.londonpostcard.co.uk/images/southpark/spmp3055.jpg"></DIV>

<DIV>I know that pink is the new black and all. LOL EQ2 has taken that I notch farther then it needed too. This is like a 4 am error... You know the developer who put that together has been up from 4 am till 4 am and just when they are about to get some sleep got this last little detailed slapped on their desk... LOL</DIV>

[Selkie22]

<DIV>So basically I'm going to be a pink ranger with an arrow stuck in her hand, sometimes getting stuck in a **mods 4 teh win!!1!**-esque stance where my torso is aimed up at the sky, while pulling more arrows out of my invisible (and no doubht pink) quiver that I shoot with my stringless-bow while facing the opposite direction from my enemy.  Am I missing anything?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I think I'm starting to see the theory that EQ kind of doesn't like Rangers very much...</DIV>

Obviously one of the Devs is very young and a fan of the Pink Power <b>Ranger</b>. However he needs to be schooled in what it meant to be a Ranger before Texas, New York and Chuck Norris ruined the appellation of <b>Ranger</b>.<b>Green and Brown or Flush it down!!</b>

[Kinlu]

<DIV>Well I dunno...I don't think I would mind pink all that much, well, they'd have to add little red roses on the shoulders and cheast, then you could blend into the local Garden.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Really though, is it pink?  Or just a lighter...red.  Which would make it pink huh?  *Sigh*  What's the world coming to when a Ranger's looking at his Wardrobe and desides he wants to go with the "Pink" Chainmail today.</DIV>

I'm having flashbacks of the epic tailors/pink-hawtpants vs rangers/camo-all-the-way forum wars from SWG <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />It's obvious that eq2 tailors have executed a strategic flanking attack and won the battle even before it bagan. Nothing left for the rangers but to head for the hills.

<DIV>Is this the quest armor you're talking about?  I hope not, planned to get started on the quests this weekend.  Call it vain if you will, but I care about how my character looks.  Pink is not appropriate in any way, shape or form for an outdoorsman.  I'm not sure what the devs are thinking.  Hopefully, it's just an oversite with all the other myriad of things implemented in the game and going on.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Coltsfoot Canterbury, 20 Ranger and Carpenter on Steamfont</DIV>
