\o/ I just like being helpful to make up for all the stupid things I say on these forums! Plus it's a nice distraction from Accounting.

I absolutley love the new ifrit armor set for tanks , I think it's sexy as hell. I'm leveling Paladin now and can't wait til I'm high enough level to get that armor. I don't see how any of the past armies for tanks have been flamboyant , I definitely like how their trying something new besides big heavy suits of armor and giving us cool coats and such. The tank jobs defenetly needed some diversity in their armor so I think their heading in a good direction.

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

Could have sworn it was because it looked like a PS1 game, and played like crap. Master Chief wears full armor and still sells Xboxes.

I'm not a fan of the Ifrit Tank gear for that reason. I never glamoured before, but I did this round.

And the massive insecurity claim goes entirely undisputed while this pedantic goalpoast-shifting comes up. Interesting. Look, let me let you in on something. Your precious manliness isn't being "eroded" or going anywhere. At least not from any action on SE's part. Though if the EXISTENCE of non-stereotypical medieval knight armor endangers your fragile, fragile masculinity then there's probably some self-examination worth doing. And for the record, High Mythrite armor came into the game at the same time as the Lore armor for anyone that somehow still has a bee in their bonnet over this.

*Edit*

I had a really politely worded response that a few people seemed to like, so I was pleased that I took the high road until I scrolled your commenting history and realized that you are nothing but a vitriolic troll who should articulate your daddy issues with the goon who earned them instead of taking them out on strangers. Good day, sir, we won't speak again.

So revealing sets on females are fine and normal but don't you dare give girls or anyone else the same fan-service aesthetic by making an open-chested set on males? Honestly, I'm fine with you have your preferences and wanting to see more of them but it's this type of set that is in extremely low supply for males in the game and the type of sets they should be making more of for those who do like it.

Personally, I like how it appears on my more androgynous looking Paladin

Though I still favour the full-armoured, knightly look that he had before(and will eventually revert to at some point)

Similarly, my Warrior's main set, though heavily armoured, is more reminiscent of a gladiatorial look with some skin showing...

Though I am happy to use his secondary set in colder regions which is completed covering...

So, I actually like both sets for either of my tanks, arguably with a slight preference for completely concealing armour since I don't think the other option suits My Paladin very much - whom I try to keep tied to a Knightly aesthetic. The only reason I even changed his set for now was because we get so few armours that have a tasteful, aesthetic reveal for males that I got really excited and had to indulge in the opportunity.

The ifrit tank set is one of my favorite male armors in the game!
(For reasons that may or may not be part vengeful / part tastes oriented '3')

The thing I really appreciate about this game is that everyone has a nice variety of fashions!

I'd say alternate them. I like both full plate and flamboyant. I would like a solid mix. For more variety and options.

Edit: Come to think of it do we males get any cute mini skirts? Maybe sometimes daddy wants a short skirt, some high heels and a bit of lipstick to feel beautiful on those dark, lonely nights.

We need more flamboyant armours, keep them comming SE!
