Dev Blog: Hard mode dungeons and equipment drop

That gear literally screams 'Final Fantasy', good job
/sarcasm off
SE never ceases to underwhelm me...

That cowl looks like every other cowl 1-50.

Hopefully the new gear is dyeable. I mean, it *should* be, considering its the same as various 1-50 sets which are dyeable, but then so is AK gear - which isn't dyeable.

[mindful]

What they need to do with the hardmode is to have the boss give a random chance. You can get a one piece item lv70 gear equal to the darklight gear. Example a hard mode only head piece. That can random drop from copperbell boss hardmode of that style only and dye able and convertable. with half the tokens reward and myth be the same as wp and ak. But the drop rate should be nasty hard and probally be faster to just to get the token route. This way people got a random chance to get the gear faster on luck or they would still have to get the darklight gear the token route. It would also change players looks. I see no one even playing hardmode, but one time. Even with the gear only being item lv55-60. Give players a reason to play it. Besides looks.

I remember that on 1.0 (too lazy to find the source) SE blamed gear looks reskinning on PS3 limitations... I wonder if that's still the case lol

Gear looks wasn't restrained due to the PS3 or else every other MMO out there has gear unrestrained by the unlimited potential of the PC platform yet they rarely get any good designs out..so no, its restrained by what the developers want the gear to look like. Btw, they scaled back models and got rid of visual belts so they can make 'better armor design faster.'

Hmm, no?
SE only said it take around 6 month to create a new gear model. Reskinning already existing gear models is faster.

Dont care about the gear so much - but I love playing one-group-dungeons, so I really am looking forward to 3 (more or less) new Dungeons on lvl 50.

Will do once, ignore gear. All fugly and useless.
