Heritage Armor Lore?

[PsiaMeese]

<p>This is general feedback regarding in-game lore more than anything else. With the introduction, via Marketplace, of Heritage Armor sets might the player's benefit later from some in-game lore to back up this Marketplace innovation? Maybe toss us additional racial quests - or a book - to elude to the sets origins? I guess I'm asking for a <em>bridge</em> for this sort of thing.</p>

<p>I don't think so, its only a thing from SoE to make more $$$ or they can create some lore like the vampire thing.</p>

<p>IF there was any lore associated with these armors, I'd like to hear what the Half Elves have. Sorry, but I still don't buy that they even have anything to call their own. I don't buy the whole "The lack of an actual culture is itself their culture" theory. It's quite paradoxical.</p>

<p>If i remember right Vhalen talked about the underfoot dark elven armor once being a darker blue and ornate, this maybe what they based that race armor off of.</p>

<p>It's easy to explain the ogre/gnome armor as the ogre armor being the officer/grunt uniform of the ogres in the Rallosian army, and the gnome armor.. Tinkering safety suit.</p>

<p>IMO, black trenchcoat with extra piercings as a helm and big goth boots. Oh, and like, a skull ring on each middle finger as the gloves.</p><p>Also, chain pants and a bright green mohawk.</p>

<p>I don't think you really need lore for the armor sets. Unless a set is specifically made as a replica of some famous work of craft.</p><p>The armor is Heritage because, if you've played and delved into the lore long enough, you understand/know that the "look" is intended to be flavored toward that race. like another poster said Gnome = Tinkered. The Ogre set is very rugged and "scary". The Dark Elf Set is very <em>Elegant yet Deadly</em>. The Human Set looks like Normal, Ornate <em>human</em> Armor.</p><p>I, along with Cusa am dieing to see (or hear/read) an explination if they do implement half elf armor into the game. And I would LOVE to see what the concept looks like!</p>
