I know that many have brought up the idea of having different colors to choose for the armor. I was creating a new toon with our increased slot from the Neriak update and thought of this idea. When you initially create your new toon it has armor designed specifically for the class you have created. Why can't we have at minimum the following settings with the crafted armor. <ol><li>Designs or images on the armor that represent the persona of the class</li><li>Colors or rathers hues similiar to the initial toon creation. Evil characters have darker armor then good.</li><li>Distinct quality difference between Common and Mastercrafted Armor as far as detail</li><li>Detail and Quaility improves as you go up in the different tiers</li><li>Only affect crafted armor, only</li></ol>For intance, Cloth Armor........<ol><li>Select a rune or magical design to put on the chest</li><li>Conjurors start off in the Bright Blue and White Robe, continue with that color scheme</li><li>The quality between common and mastercrafted could be the pleats, cuffs, collar and edges of the robe</li><li>Tier 1 can just be a plain robe with Mastercrafted adding a few stiching designs and then add to it in Tier 2</li></ol>Overall, have an image that is part of the basic design for the class and as they level have the robes design become richer in color quality and detail. Not sure if this is feasible but it would help give a distinguised look and feel between the classes for crafted armor, and should it not look unique for you since it is being crafted for you...................As far as the tailor is concerned they are making the normal armor recipe for Cloth Armor, the difference only happens when the different classes put it on.I would like to get some feedback to what others may think in regards to having the crafted armor change specifically to your class.

Hi <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> For sure, I think this is a great idea !!! I really enjoy the idea off a set design improving with tiers! It would be great to see the T1 "dull" robe envolving through tiers and getting more and more beautyful and detailed. And also, it would fix this ennoying thing: the same amor design being reused from tiers to tiers (a T1 common crafted armor having the same look as a T6 fabled drop i.e.)

I'm up for anything, any form of variation and customisation of our armors is needed. An entire revamp of the appearance of armors has gotta come soon, its all just butt-ugly. Robes look like bathrobes made out of cheap material, leather and cloth armor is all cushioned and weird (what's with the dumb lion emblem on half the armors) and plate, especially the colours, is just plain disastrous.

Sounds good but if any of these were to happen it probably wouldn't be until 2009 lol.

I agree with some of your points, but not all. I wouldn't like to be wearing the same colours from 1-70, it would bore me. Secondly, I disagree that evil characters should have darker armor than good ones, evil does not = dark and good does not = light, that is just a stereotype, and I am glad that SoE has moved away from it with the SK EoF Fabled set, albeit a bit too shiny IMO.

This is only for crafted armor, so you know what you are getting and can recognize the class by the armor. Of course, most will be going to legendary or fabled armor in the higher levels

I think these are pretty good ideas. though I think guardians need a little more love when it comes to class armor designs. I feel like I'm basically getting regular vanguard with a bowl on my head with my class hat.

I'm not posting this as a flame, but in all honesty, I really would like to read what you typed but your blue font is seriously painful to my eyes. With or without my glasses the contrast of your colour choice against the background of the forums makes it impossible for me to read even though I would like to.
