Void Ark Gear......wtf

[Chomin]

I don't know... perhaps not sharing very similar colours? Yeah, that would be great. Let's take a look at the Crystal Tower set, do these all share the same colour? No. Are they all unique and interesting? Definitely.

I find the colors fit perfect the Ark theme. Dark and black with a bit purple.

That's true but it's unfortunate we have the same dark themed item sets two times in a row.

That's due to the theme of the areas we've been going into.

I'd actualy prefer mORE pallette swaps, of of the Crimson and Royal gear (and only because for some inane reason SE never wants to may 24-man raid gear dyable)

while not going overboard

Everything Blizzard has ever done for armor past the first two Diablo games has been incredibly impractical and absolutely overboard.

I don't know if you've seen the recent LFR sets, but they're not overboard by any means. Impractical, perhaps, but that applies to 90% of the FFXIV armour sets and weapons too.

I'd definitely love a dyeable version of those sets, that's for sure.

The thing is, they don't have to look like the environment's theme. Diabolos is red and black, why can't we get a red and black armour set? I'd prefer each set be designed off of a mob/boss to be honest. That makes more sense, since we're getting the armour from them and not carving out the ship and making armour that way.

The only thing I'm seeing from the LFR sets (they're probably the wrong ones, tbh) is typical Blizzard pauldrons the size of shields and massive shoulder spikes. Impractical is in nearly every fantasy game ever, but Blizzard and those they've inspired take designs to a very unique height. There's nothing wrong with it, but I personally dislike the look of it. I stray away from the more extreme designs in XIV as well.

Which leads to your other point. We had gear based off boss design. And besides the dress, Syrcus tower gear glamours didn't last very long and even the dress died out fairly quickly. I very rarely run across anyone glamouring a piece of any of those sets.

If FFXI is any example to go by you can expect this trend to continue. Every game does it honestly. It's like palette swapping back in the 16bit era.

I like how it looks...

I like them, too.

Especially the DOM sets. Okay, maybe I'm not too fond of the hats, but yeah. There are many pretty pieces to glam so I don't understand why there's hate. : o
