<DIV>Ok, after talking wtih at least a dozen people across my guild and several others, we have all come to the conclusion that the pants models for rare crafted and fabled dropped do NOT have enough of a distinguishing appearance, as well as there appears to be a slight desparity among the existing models. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Chainmail pants - Rare crafted chainmail pants take a form fitting, no crotch/butt flap appearance until T5 where they suddenly have the same boring appearance as all of the other chainmail pants(T2-T4 are form fitting, T5 & T6 are not and have the flaps). All of the rare crafted chainmail pants should have this form fitting model. Please update the ebon chainmail and cobalt chainmail pants to have the form fitting no crotch/butt flap model so they stand out as a RARE item. Also many of the FABLED models are split amongst types. Regular models should have the crotch/butt flap model, rare or fabled should have the form fitting model.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plate desparity - The AQ plate did NOT have the crotch/butt flap model even though it was plate. Lets use this model (different colors of course) for the rare crafted (steel, feysteel, ebon, cobalt) plate armor. This makes it stand out significantly over the standard player made. For an example compare the model of the AQ plate to the carbonite crafted plate. Several pieces appear much better on the AQ models then what the carbonite crafted. The existing carbonite design should be used for all standard crafted plate (carbonite, feyiron, fulginate, indium) and use the AQ design for the rare crafted (steel, feysteel, ebon, cobalt).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Using the two different models would distinguish the two and provide a much better appearance between the different types of amor. Also using the form fitting pants resolves numerous graphic oddities for those races with tails (iksar and kerra) that appear at different times. Currently depending on settings and view angel, the ~flaps~ on pants can appear to be coming out of the sides of the iksar tail instead of resting on it and make the kerra tail appear not to be connected to the body but to the armor (I believe this was on the ebon chainmail).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Feedback and change is appreciated.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
