Male Armor Sets too flamboyant. Bring full armor back!

It really does, but male characters are not the intended demographic for this primal set.

There's a reason that Duke Nukem comeback game flopped so badly. Real men grew up.

Yeah how dares he have opinions about aesthetics. Lets all insult him!

I don't know, I think we can do something good with some other piece of gear, no?

Of course, some pieces must be dyed for better result but isn't it okay?

The only thing i really don't like are shoes, but mostly because you wear high heels but you remain at the same height. So basically these shoes cut your feet...

It looks patently ridiculous on me as well. This outfit was clearly not designed with males in mind at all.

It's a good thing I'm already accustomed to glamming over healer gear...

While I agree the Shiva lore outfit looks pretty bad on manroes, I don't think it looks bad on all men. I think the biggest problems are the gloves and the boots.

With Gloves and boots:

Without Gloves and boots: (Looked weird without any shoes at all, so chose something without a heel, ignore the colors)

Without the gloves and boots, I think the set looks a lot more masculine. It heavily benefits from the one missing sleeve (which gets more or less fixed by the gloves if you wear them), because it shows off that one arm, which accentuates the muscles. And just wearing slightly less flashy shoes with lower heels helps a lot. It's hard to find boots that don't rise up to your crotch, so I made do with what I had.

All that said, I think it works on male miqo'te because their figures aren't as extreme as Roes, which are muscle giants without a figure.

I don't know what to say, I only like the arms but I hate the rest of it :(

................................................... I think I will be glamour it on my male character O_O
I also really don't like the tank lore chest on males, while on females it looks really nice, that opening on the chest for males is like saying: " I am sorry you don't have it to make this armor look good" or "you really need to get them bigger" ._______.

Lol, he's giving you a stinkeye there. "Dafuq did you just dress me in?"

"Armor set wasn't intended for male characters" / "Not enough resources to make every primal" ...

>> Looking at F2P games with similar incomes and combat content outputs, but with higher res, higher poly, more layered, more interesting, and race- and gender-specific versions of every piece of gear that drop from them. Hmm.

Or, should I just go back to blaming PS3s for the absolute shit cloth physics we're stuck with? On anyone but a Galk/lander, that's really all that annoys me to death about the Shiva set. Or most sets. Dress a roided bodybuilder in drag if you like, but at least have respect for physics when you go to the trouble of putting weights on the points of its... coat-tails?

Some of us enjoy the flamboyant gear, in my opinion i find it hilarious. (and sexy on some characters)
I mean Square is known for their revealing male outfits in their games. I'm sporting my Hellfire top with manly pride as we speak and I'm loving it lol. For those of you asking for it to be fixed, watch out cause Yoshi might troll you and cover that tiddy window with some lovely fishnet.
In my opinion the most alluring thing with this game to me is the whole "if girls are put in metal bikinis so will the men!" mentality.
I'd love if we could go away from gender locked content and pretty much wear w.e we'd like, just like in the real world. Seeing roe's in the Thravnian gear would be super sweet. But until then i'm alright with looking like a sexy fire primal and pretty ice princess.
