Even though I know how much people love reading 50-page threads, I thought I'd start a new one anyway.

A change should be going out to the Test server later today that removes the previous restrictions on appearance items.You'll now be able to equip anything in an appearance slot that is usable by your class.Greg "Rothgar" SpenceEQ2 Programmer

Yay! Thanks, Rothgar! This change makes sense.

Sapphirius · 09-06-2007, 03:04 PM

<3 Much love for ya.

Question: Do you know if the art team has any plans to introduce new and more cloth vest and pant designs? A lot of mages are tired of robes and hate the baggy pants.

Art takes much longer to put in and I would think there is no chance they would do anything until the new skeleton system is done and in place.

Thanks for the info Rothgar.

Pijotre · 09-06-2007, 03:15 PM

at Sapphy: Like Jesdyr said I doubt you can expect much new fashion stuff until all classes (first will be the Sarnak with RoK) use the new skeleton models.

at Rothgar: is there any chance to hide the apperance of a piece of cloth? Like if I wear my sacred garments would I be able to hide my gloves and my weapon (for I don't see it fitting to run around with gloves showing to that nice robe, nor with a might hammer on my back) or do I have to unequip it still (as in the whole new system doesn't change anything)?

Sincere regards and thanks for adding another useful tool (that hopefully becomes even more useful SMILEY )

Magnificent! This style is self-consistent, logical, and easy to understand; also provides plenty of room for player creativity for character customization. Thanks!

A little less sarcasm and a little more civility, please. I'm not asking about entirely new designs. I'm asking about the original vest and pant appearances being returned to crafted cloth vest and pants. It's a question as to whether or not he knows if the devs are looking into this issue, not another demand for change.

YEAH OMG. No warlocks wearing plate, woots.

Thanks for clarifying and updating this feature that EVERYONE has been looking forward to being introduced.

It might evenboost the economy as people run out to boy new outfits just to have the look they are after.

Nice work!

Thankies! You just made my day.

Bloodfa · 09-06-2007, 03:32 PM

Well, I think my Swashy's going to be masquerading as a clothie now. Can't wait for somebody to try to sneak up on me and melee me, then just get poisoned for it. Of course I expect everybody's going to try to look like a clothie now, since most drop fairly quickly in melee. Why in the world would a tank or a healer advertise their class, when they can look like a caster? Yeah, I know, PvP ruining everything. SMILEY

I'd hope that there's implementation of some sort of restriction on PvP servers, ie. must be similar type of equipment or be faction gear, because this is going to be abused on a massive scale in PvP.

Krystara · 09-06-2007, 03:34 PM

Rothgar - I love you. Very. Much.

Thank you for this change. I know the other thread got heated at times, but I'm glad that our desires for the broadest possible appearances was listened to and acted on.

The "not take long" was actually about the change back .. I figured they would have waited till after pushing it live. As far as the "new" ... you asked for "new" not original items to be put back. Forgive me for not knowing the exact details here but .. it is my understanding Soga models as well as fae models were added to the game after launch. If the artwork you want was removed before both of these went into the game, it is likely they do not have proper artwork for all the current models in the game.

Lord Montague · 09-06-2007, 03:49 PM

And there was much rejoicing. yay!

Akaran2 · 09-06-2007, 03:58 PM

Question for clarification:It had been stated earlier that all guild status items would be able to be worn regardless of class (thinking Luminous Vanguard armor for my necro for the heck of it) - is this still possible? That kind of gear is restricted to plate classes... no real reason, it won't bother me much. Just curious about it.

Thanks!

Zeltaria · 09-06-2007, 04:00 PM

Question: does this apply only to armor slots....or is this same treatment being given to primary and secondary slots where, for instance, you could use one shield but use the appearance of another as well?
