Why do Twin Adders hunt gears look so horrible?

[Evangela]

compare to the Mael and the Flames. all the Adders have is goofy gears in yellow. shouldn't SE make all three companies equal?

Sorry, I have to disagree. It all comes to tastes, none is better than the other, you pick the one you like. For one, they added some variety to the factions thing, not only the same coat but with different colour. You're free to switch to another GC if you don't like them.

It's a matter of opinions and tastes, really.

I'm partial to Maelstrom, but then I've been Maelstrom since beta and will never change.

But I also like some of the Flames gear and to be honest the Adder's gear works well for the Adders. It has a distinctive woodlands style with the wood, tanned leathers and animal furs. That mage robe looks really good and there are parts of the other sets that look pretty cool too. The weapons themselves have a very hand crafted look to them and again, it suits the Adder's very well.

I would suggest, if it bothers you enough, that you change Grand Companies.

you don't want to change your GC and why do you think that I want to change mine?

See, that's good advice, except there are thousands of people that would be ridiculously inconvenienced by switching. Not only do you lose your PVP rank and all progress towards the glamour gear that so many people want, but a lot of people are with a GC simply because their friends are and they want to PVP together. Switching would make it impossible to play with those friends, unless they switched as well.

I personally don't have a problem with any of the armor from the GC's, if I don't like it I just won't have an interest in getting it. Simple. But keep in mind that for those that do care, switching might not be the simple thing you make it out to be.

Design wise, I'd say all three are really well made and fit their respective nations.
Taste wise, I'd say the Maelstrom ones are the best (totally not biased because I'm Maelstrom since day 1..)
Popularity wise, Maelstrom > Immortal Flames > Twin Adders (Based on the people actually wearing it ingame and here at the forums)

Maybe if they sands and oils will get outdated with new expansion, we'll see more people actually buying their GC sets.

I think it's a shame that you can't wear/buy the other GC hunt gear. It would be nice if they just made it available but at like double the price or something.

I dislike all the browns in the TA clothing, but I do really enjoy our weapons. They're pretty awesome looking.

It's a suggestion. Not an order/command. I didn't tell you to change your GC, or "Deal with it!". (but really, deal with it)

Also, I don't know why you'd personally want to change your GC, but judging by this thread it would be because of this gear.

Me? I had planned on being in Maelstrom since it was not only Limsa Lominsa's GC (Pirates man, Pirates!), but I also like the color scheme and think Merlwyb is pretty smokin'. She can be my Admiral any day.

I don't really care about the PvP limitations so much, so there's little reason to use that as an excuse. Most of my friends are in different GCs, though some are in the same one as well. It is what it is. (a bad decision)

If Maelstrom had gear I didn't like, I wouldn't complain about it. I just wouldn't get it. The gear is there if you like the look, if you don't then don't bother with it. There will be more gear in the future, be it the new GC gear from added ranks, or be it from additional hunts.

GC Must stay affiliated to their responding Culture and History. So stop hating Adders gear.
