Why does Sony hate us?

<DIV>How in the hell do they come up with their decisions. I really liked the improvements to Cobalt that they made, and while you look like a pack of pre-schoolers attacked you with crayons if you are wearing fable, at least it is different.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So has anyway checked out the new look they gave Berserkers AQ armor? Yea I checked it out and look at this stuff:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9945/eq20002540cw.jpg"></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Holy hell man.... ho-l-y hell.</DIV>

<P>this is so getting locked...i dunno, i dont see anything wrong with that armour, but, whatever.</P> <P> </P> <P>my zerker is 39 decked out in legendary gear...he is wearing a solid rusted tin can with pink spaulders. yeah...really macho.</P> <P>but hey, it makes everyone look to see what i am wearing at least,[Removed for Content].</P>

[Colossaltitan]

Hate Berserkers?<BR>The best Brawler gear in the game is bright purple! Oh, and the Bruiser Gi looks like a bum's old dirty longjohns.

SoE doesn't hate us Fazzarya, they just hate you. *grins*

[Khal]

Well, havent worn the stuff in over a year, so at least there is that, heh.  I think they were going for blood red and it came out pink. 

[Fazzarya]

Ok, reading my original post myself now and I can see how it was confusing. What I was saying was the look on the AQ is really nice, color is a bit off but the detail on the BP is really nice. I wish the graphical quality would scale upwards appropriately. That AQ stuff is darn nice.And yes I know, Berserkers probably have the least to whine about so I'll be quiet now :p<div></div>

[Spakka]

Pretty in Pink !   lol <div></div>

[Renzai]

<DIV>I don't see what there is to complain about. Looks fine to me.</DIV>

[FlameingInfer]

I think it looks fine too

[infernus006]

<i>"Looks to me like they've gone and tinted females cobalt armor a dark pink (since she is lvl 54)."</i> haha well it's not just like that for females.  <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> i don't like it either.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> why couldn't they have made it crimson with black trim?  then it would have rocked... <div></div>

[cr0wangel]

Hmm any idea how I can get the AQ armor? I have my AQ armor still, in the bank, I tried it, for some reason the armor looks the same as before (old look, grey-black). Is it a bug or I need to do something to get the new AQ armor?

[Khal]

There is a merchant next to the quest giver, can buy it

[Deadly Nightshadow]

It's a different set. Talk to the assistant next to the quest giver.<div></div>

[Boli32]

<P>The colours are allways messed up on the character select screen. tor insrtance <A href="http://www.badpoo.co.uk/mao/images/EQ2_000066.jpg" target=_blank>this</A> is ebon even though it has a blue tint. The new Zerker AQ armour looks lovely on my 27 Zerker however ... it is bit darker in game but here's a better picture. Enjoy.</P> <P><IMG src="http://www.badpoo.co.uk/mao/images/EQ2_000067.jpg"></P> <p>Message Edited by boli on <span class=date_text>12-23-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:33 AM</span>

[Deadly Nightshadow]

Wow....that 'Zerker armour looks really nice...<div></div>

[Doobur]

I myslef like the look. Even if it is pink :robotindifferent:

[Littleflame]

<div></div>I like the new look, it's like red/pink Ebon <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. Not like I am going to be wearing it much at my level but it's nice holiday outfit with my Santa hat. I always hated the original AQ stuff we had. EDIT: Just added Erollisi's Charm to the outfit, it's smashing now. People keep stopping to stare. <div></div><p>Message Edited by Littleflame on <span class=date_text>12-22-2005</span> <span class=time_text>07:33 PM</span>

[Sirlutt]

loving it .. might start to play my zerker again now.. <div></div>

[Splinte]

LOL! I love the new Zerker AQ armour, i even take off my T6 fabled gear just to wear the AQ armour <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Matchs my Coool hair.

[Xakkoriz]

Trust me ... it supposed to be RED.... lol In the game its a red color... armor always looks brighter on character select... at char select w/ specular lighting turned on some of the parts of the Cobalt armor look greyish/silver.... The coolest new AQ looks to me are  Guardian, Berserker, Brigand, and Swashbuckler.<div></div>

[jpowe]

It looks great in-game, though pinkish around white light sources or rain/fog. Pic: <img src="http://img465.imageshack.us/img465/5369/armors4zt.jpg"> <div></div>

[Devasq]

<DIV>Almost looks like Dracula's armor in the beginning of Bram Stoker's Dracula</DIV>

[Doobur]

I still say I dig the new look.

[Balmung of the Azure Sky]

wow that aq armor looks pretty neato

[BraveSma]

<DIV>thats AQ ARMOR??!! you mean that stuff you get at level 20 from that guy in qeynos? </DIV> <DIV>duuuuude.... when i was getting my aq stuff  it was brown platemail!! whered you GET that ?</DIV>

[WolfSha]

<P>You can rebuy it from the new merchant next to the aq giver.</P> <P>Went and bought a set yesterday.  In the sunshine of qeynos harbour it looked very very pink - not a good look for a barb male,  but in dungeons it looks better.  </P> <P>Also found I still had bloodfire knocking around in my inventory, so equiped that for a bit of extra red light, then it looks cool.</P> <P>Can't remeber why i kept bloodfire when I found an upgrade now...  I think i was just so offended that the merchant only wanted to give me 3g ish for all my pain and suffering doing heart of fear I decided i'd rather keep it! :smileymad:</P> <P> </P>

[infernus006]

^ i still have my bloodfire too in my bank.  i keep it with other pieces of cool-looking lowibe armor and weapons i just can't bear to part with.  kind of wish i would have kept my sbs now too, that might look good with the aq armor and bloodfire equipped since it has red symbols on it. <div></div>

[WolfSha]

<P>Hehe, i know what you mean.  I kept my ebon for ages just for the sentimenal value - really really wish you could put armour on armour stands in your room.  When i think of the 10 billion hours i spent binking on rocks in feerrot for that armour, selling it to a merchange for 2 or 3 gold a peice just made me cry, but i was running low on bank space :smileysad:</P> <P>You're right, the sbs would look good with that armour.  Now if only the armour had a brass trim....</P> <P>You can always buy your sbs back from the swashbuckler guy on nek docks.</P> <P>Next time i have the money to waste there's a few heritage quest rewards i'm gonna buy back - ebbc particularly.  I loved that sword. I remember drooling over that sword on ogaming when i was a lvl 10 warrior and couldn't wait to have it. The day i got it was probably my happiest day on eq2 ever! :smileytongue:   </P> <P>I was so excited i forgot to inspect it after killing the 1000 undead to update the quest and had to kill last guy in SH twice - other people in my group were doing the quest too, so he spawned because they were on the right stage!! :smileyvery-happy:</P> <P>Odd thing though - looking at it on the merchant list, the ebbc is grey to me, while the bbc is white.  Bearing in mind that the ebbc can't be equipped till 44 and the bbc can be equipped at 42, and in the good 'ol days when you could see when you mastered a weapon, bbc was 50 to master and ebbc was 52... very strange... /shrug</P> <P> </P> <p>Message Edited by WolfShark on <span class=date_text>12-30-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:38 AM</span>
