<DIV>lol, too pink for me.  Do I have to do the quest?</DIV>

[Theo]

<DIV>if u want ur lvl 20 armor .. i mean u can buy other armor .. but .. of corse ud have to actually pay for it</DIV>

[PrometheusO]

<DIV>Not as bad as I thought but still be nice if those pink areas were green instead.  It's ok if it provides some real nice special benefits like resist and all that stuff.  I wish it was green.</DIV>

<DIV>What weapons are equipped in that picture, Maul?  Where'd you get 'em?  how much? <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Stats?  Feed me information!!!!!  </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm not one to come here to complain about in-game issues, but pink?! We're Rangers. We're supposed to be outdoorsman that sneak around unnoticed. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Was Richard Simmons hired to do a special signature design for Ranger armor? I can just see him sitting at his design desk, rocking out in his seat with 'Macho Man' blaring from stereo, doodling 'I <3 Legolas' all over in various pastel shades.......</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Please do us all a favor and change this to a different color. This pink armor makes me think fondly back to Tolan's and its shade, known game-wide as 's**t-brown'.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I really dont' see how pink makes you think of Tolan's Darkwood -- that color brown was pretty appropriate for a ranger, considering it was supposed to be armor made of petrified WOOD. not a lot of green petrified wood...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>but yes, pink = teh suck</DIV>

[Theo]

<DIV>that color is actually makeing me rethink about wot dirrection i turn at lvl 18 ... betraying for an assasin subclass is starting to look good </DIV>

<DIV>Armor expires in like, 10 levels.  By 30 you'll be wearing fey steel.  Don't stress it :p</DIV>

[Lothol]

<DIV>I wouldn't worry to much about the armor color issue. Once you start hunting regularly in The Steppes better armor will drop than your quested armor. So soon you will be scrapping it anyway.</DIV>

[RangerManT]

<DIV>Very true about the drops...Sweet drops.  Most of what I've seen has been heavy though...not much for me to wear yet <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The benefits on the armor far outweigh the ribbing your going to take for a few levels for wearing it.  You'll get better stuff and move on...no biggie...least we're not stuck wearing dresses till 40 like in L2.</DIV>

[tekanon]

<DIV>Ahh just a suggestion... but since we r RANGERS shouldnt our armor be including a CLOAk with HOOD?? That would be the Coup de gras and look pretty darm NICE over all. ( and it will hide most of the BARBIE ARMOR!!!)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Kinlu]

<DIV>Wait, I have a question.  I recievedthe gloves and they dont look like the ones in the picture, they just look Grey.  Something wrong with my graphics setting or what?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Ren]

The Gloves look "different" because he has his graphics set to very high quality, a luxery most of us don't get to use, I use it only for taking Screenshot, and thats non-combat, also. As for the "pink" armor, I can't see why a graphic is causing such an uproar on the boards, find something better to complain about, maybe the amount of Adept drops for our class we see, however I think all classes adepts might be hard to find, whatever. The devs have more important things to worry about, like the memory leak problem from cities, the collision problem from fish, not something mearly cosmetic as an armor color, not that it would take long to change. No worries, it will proubly get changed, however I think most of use will have outgrown it, before that happens.Sorry for ranting, but this is all I see on this board anymore.*edit* all scout quest armor from Qeynos are the same color. So I think they were going for something that wouldn't look biased towards any particular subclass<p>Message Edited by Rents on <span class=date_text>12-04-2004</span> <span class=time_text>01:11 AM</span>

<DIV>Mine were gray also until I went in and changed my graphics to maximum texture quality for characters only.  I left world at medium, ..then I could see that they were chainmail.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You'd be surprised what you're missing without maximum textures turned on just for characters.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Game still seems to run fine, and I have an old computer.  1g of ram, 1.8 processor.. 9800pro...</DIV>
