About Tank Design Winner

[Freyyy]

Something wrong with chest armor. How can coat be inside on back but not front and sides?

There's just an extra plate piece covering the back on top of the coat, which is linked to the right arm's gauntlet.

Was happy with the design winner fits the game perfectly.

The gear looks like an Allagan/Ironworks set. Like the stuff we already have within the game.

Little disappointed as such. (YOU NEVER SEE ANYONE WALK AROUND WEARING THOSE AS GLAMOURS!!)

Exactly. They chose a design that's essentially already in the game. Talk about lazy.

Gratz to the designer but I would have liked something, god forbid, different.

I mean if you were the judge would you really pick something that's already so similar to your designs?

I would have preferred the first runner up, it looks like it was designed on Belladonna, fitting with the lore.

[silentwindfr]

a lot of entry was over the top or barely fitting either the role of tank or the lore.

it was a contest for make a generic tank armor, not a class specific armor, it's why the zodiac armor didn't win, too much paladin or the one where with a lot of muscle showing too much warrior.

[Keikun]

We could have gotten an ORIGINAL DESIGN, but no, what about we get an armor with the almost the same design as another existent armor in the game? yeah that sounds good...I swear to god in every glamour contest the ugliest is always the winner. This was the change to get something cool and pretty but no, we get another generic in game armor, good job.

Out of the runner ups I would have wanted this one to be put in game. It's original, detailed, tanky, and unlike anything we've ever seen in Eorzea. I would have hoped that we get more variety compared to what is already available.

Also, I personally like my character to look feminine/decorated and with this winner there will still be zero outfits that give me that desired look without being "non-tanky". All level 1 glamour gear is made of cloth or leather, making them a perfect fit for any other role except tanking. Only as a tank do I have to pick between elaborate and role-fitting. however, the floral druid tank gear (among a few other entries) proves you don't have to sacrifice function for style or vice versa. This competition was the perfect opportunity to bring out something bulky but beautiful so I'm left a little disappointed.

In short, people aren't upset because a bad design was chosen, they're upset because a rare opportunity for variety was lost.

This exactly.

[KEV1N]

Most boring entry won it seems.

Yawn.

[MagiusNecros]

I'm not really surprised though. More of the same has pretty much been their answer to everything. Oh well if I want good armor designs I can just look at Monster Hunter and be happy.

Out of all the Tank armor designs thus far in 3.0 the only one worth my interest has been the Berserker set.

I'm glad the winner is Japanese, so they likely won't visit these forums and read these comments.


Seriously, how insensitive are some of you? How would you feel if you were the winner and the only thread people make is one shitting on your design?



Also remember that this was simply a tank armor design contest. Not a "create the most unique glamour" contest.
