Patch 4.2 micro-site updated

[enthauptet]

The i90 crafted gear was recolored versions of BrayFlox gear.

Also, they can only do so much design work. assuming what Yoshi-P said is true, it takes about a year to design and implement each gearset. We got 3 unique sets this patch, possibly 4 if Eureka has unique armor.

Well that maybe true but it was still original ARR content at least. Now we are just borrowing from old expansions, no reason to excuse bad behaviour because it was done in the past. And Eureka isn't going to have unique armour, it's going to upgrade our antiquated gear for the relic armour questline. Yoshi pointed at this being the case a few times. "wait and see how to make it dye-able," "the new relic is eureka!" so yeah, the 290 gear is the eureka armour/weapon.

Oh man, I thought the Fashion Report sounded like a neat little diversion before, but now that I know who's running it, I'm super excited!

Too often the 24 man sets has a fun design but the colors are ugly as hell. I use the VA tank and caster sets pretty regularly, but I haaaaate the purple and grey accents Im stuck having to work around, so finally being able to have them in jet black will be great.

The tome gear is kinda ugly and the dungeon gear is boring, but the sigmascape and pvp gear are both nice... so I guess it balances out lol

Also wheres the caster design winner set? I want my chaps, SE

I think we get the same number of new sets in every patch, and the rest are recolours or dyeable versions of previous sets. I personally love that; having to farm Void Ark on one of my alts would have been a pain, and it wouldn't have been dyeable either. This new release is good for me, at least.

Reusing Zeta models is a liiiitle irksome.

It beats making the actual quest easier to do. If players are given another option to obtain these without the glow, let them.

I've got 5 or 6 of them completed, and did 3 3 during each current step. Doesn't bother me at all.

I'm not sure how to feel about that either... I'm not mad because its easier to get those weapon-models now, thats not bothering me.
But I'm a little concerned about them reusing models that I thought would be "sacred" - probably naive thinking on my part that anything in this game would be "sacred" like that, but it still seems a little concerning to me that they seem to have run so out of ideas that they resorted to reusing the relics...

I said this in another thread, but...

Consider me far from impressed that both of the new hairstyles are androgynous/feminine. It's very telling that on the micro-site they're both displayed using a female model.

Didn't people want genderless hairstyles tho? people spent months complaining they had boy and girl hairstyles. now we only get in between hairstyles. meh. I dont like the new ones either.
