Letter From the Producer Live Part LXXVII - Summary - 12 May 2023

[SassyAssassin]

A better image of the raid gear is out, and there's your answer for why the mage gear doesn't have separate crystals. The whole thing glows.

Aha I see! Hm…a bit sad…kinda makes the Eureka armour a bit less special now but it looks beautiful, zooming in on the details can show that we are getting better textured gear from this expansion on

[SassyAssassin]

Also crafted gear – it seems that might be unisex mage gear after all, no variant for male characters beyond pants instead of shorts? Super cute anyway.

The jacket and waistcoat outfit is reminding me of the Appointed glamour set.

This Im not a big fan of personally, its cute for a casual look but was expecting something less thick for summer xD

[SannaR]

I feel as when it comes to the whole ugh not another robe is that they're almost always floor length. Or there isn't a distinct separation of top and skirt. Then the rare time there is a separation between top and skirt; the skirt also goes down to the floor or ankles. A lot probably wouldn't mind it if it stopped at the knees or mid thigh. Then there's the over all look that makes you look like you're readying for bed, a nun or have the same A-line silhouette. Which probably has something with how model rigging is being done. The nun or wedding veil feel would happen less if they didn't keep on giving us head slots that look that way or that they only like the whm aesthetic.

Anyway I'll see how long I stick with the glowing before glamoring it.

[Rokke]

gods, what a rotten patch for casters -_-

[Iscah]

It has occurred to me that the DPS raid gear seems to have sleeve-cutting gloves, although they're a bit overcomplicated. Still, it's another option for roles that don't have much in that regard.

[SieyaM]

Just... again with the robes for casters, why so many robes?

[SassyAssassin]

I sometimes wonder who designs these things…don’t they have any in game statistics? For sure they would see most people aren’t fans of heavy jackets over and over. Don’t even get me started on how they threw in the dancer gear with mch as if you can bend those ways in such clothing.

[Knot_D]

SE pls.

Also they kinda peaked out for Asphodelos and Abyssos healer and caster outfit, why the hell they back to basic robe with neon and flying crystal now??

[Elissar]

As someone that enjoys some glowing here and there...i liked it. Some years ago i even complained about the lack of glowing options.
DRG tome gear is badass, RDM rapier is weird, that mix of clothes for WAR (raid gear) is weird too but acceptable.

As always, some themes will be more appropriate for one job more than another...and i don't think the classic robe approach is bad, it's part of a classic fantasy stereotype.

My only problem is low resolution...when they use full robe with 2 pixels working hard to keep it in our screen is painful.

[Renalt]

I could go for some more Bloodborne style gear kinda like CryptLurker back in ShB.
