About Tank Design Winner

[Voltyblast]

Quite disappointed (but not really surprised) about the winning entry. It's still a good looking one though but with so many good entries, did we really need a "rework" of the high allagan armor?

I guess the answer is yes "Sigh" well I guess I know I won't be looking forward to the next armor.

I like this Neptunia thing. Please implement.

[DragoonSantos]

I'm glad the winner is Japanese, so they likely won't visit these forums and read these comments.


Seriously, how insensitive are some of you? How would you feel if you were the winner and the only thread people make is one shitting on your design?


Also remember that this was simply a tank armor design contest. Not a "create the most unique glamour" contest.

I mean that they are all good entries and i think they should all be implemented and the grand winner should get more than a barding, if you know what i mean
It could be a SMN job taking a Tank Role!!!

Are you trying to tell me that this is a joke entry/DPS gear?

No? That's the reason it got to be a runner up, I was more referring to say....

NIN/MNK gear with some metal boots


or

Just Nibblesnarf armor


or

Fantasy Revolver Ocelot



How about you read someone's entire post next time before jumping down their throat. I think all but the PSO2 armor are a fine selection of runner-ups. But most of the initial finalist designs were not tank gear.

The Allagan Surcoat is fine, and looked tanky enough. I don't see the hubbub of it being boring...

[MikaIto]

oh look another good but simple and easy design won the contest i hope most of the runners up enjoyed making the design id be a little upset after that

quick edit... best part is like they say some would be too difficult to implement then say the winner will be difficult to implement. should probably leave that out

[Freyyy]

It's funny because back when the finalists were announced the Allagan Luminous Surcoat was one of the most popular if not THE most popular. Now that it won, everyone dislikes it. wtf ?

I myself find it absolutely gorgeous, it's coherent, it looks like Allagan gear but it's a different set than what we had with Allagan and High Allagan. The similar vibes are normal, it IS Allagan themed. But I think that it's a good thing, it entirely fits the universe and it's gonna fit all 3 tanks, unlike some entries which were much more Paladin-looking or Warrior-looking.

not all that impressed with the winner. The artwork is great, but it looks like the eso pld armor had a baby with the Allegan gear.

[Laerune]

Bah, they give the players the option to draw a armour that is not similiar to what we have and then they pick the armour that looks very similiar to something we already have. Happy for the winner that his entry was picked, but wish they picked something else. As many said, this feels like they picked it so they can design it fast, since it looks very similiar to current Allagan armour, hence less time spend with making this item.

Guess I know what I need to do with the DPS and Healer contest, grab something that is in the game and design a similiar outfit, should increase my chances to win by 150%

[Jadub2k]

How is this the best outfit!?!? it looks just like just like a piece of alligan gear.. Lets take the to one that will be the easiest to make, less time to do it, and hell we can probably take a piece of alligan gear already in the game and (possibly) reskin it.. Don't get me wrong the artwork is impressive & congratz to the winner and all, but my god.. it's like tanks are not allowed to wear gear that's both functional and fashionable like the other choices. Even the glamour system kinda kills this as people are glaming things not really functional (but video game logic gives the finger to this lol xD) And ture I my not understand what goes into making this stuff but damn, I can't but feel that Talented artist on there team are being under utilized & there was this air of laziness in this choice. And if they REALLY wanted something tanky, the final runner up at the bottom is as tanky as it gets
