Tired of Robe-looking armor

[Hycinthus]

Enough with the robe-looking, cape, skirt-attached, half skirt armor designs already. Enough.

We have too much already and every single design is like this. I want something that does not look like I\\'m wearing a flowy- flowy garment. Please give us more options. In addition, cape/ robes don\\'t really fit with the fighting style of many melee jobs, it\\'s dangerous to wear something not form-fitting in batlle. Don\\'t tell me, "how about glowing armor , thats not realistic". I\\'m not asking for everything to be realistic but just different kinds of options, but almost every armor has some flowy cape or half scarf attached to it. At least allow it to be removable.

I believe even mage classes will support me on this. There are mages who want to dress combat style like battlemages. But all they get are dresses. Even tanks HW and SB armors are all some form of skirt. The armor and glamour options definitey need major improvements.

Then...glam? There is plenty of armour in the game that isn't robe-like, and I'm saying that as a person who mains a caster.

I just want more sleeveless shirt options.
Id also love to see more chest gear that didn't cut off extra parts attached to leg gear, There is no way to glamour a nice chest piece to go with the Shisui Aiming pants because outside of bikinis (Colosseum stuff is still bikinis!) they all cut the ribbons off and remove the waist plate part.

I'd also love the ability to toggle "dress" type chest pieces to show or remove the bottom dress/skirt part. The level 70 AF Summoner chest is amazing, But It'd fit my glamour even better if I could remove the bottom dress part.

More visual customization is never a bad thing.

This is actually a bloody brilliant idea. And I know for a fact it wouldn't be hard to introduce seeing as the chest and leg parts have separate textures, and I know this because I have seen gear bug out with the bottom half missing

I don't know about you, but I like it when my mages don't look like mages. Though I also don't want them looking like they're in armor. Case in point:



The character to the left is mine. No magely robes to speak of.

As the previous user suggested, make use of glamour prisms. That's what they're there for.

Yeah I like playing caster but I lack armor that aren't robe or just cool at all. I'm mostly using i220 crafted gear or lvl 1 glamour, I'd like to actually have gear for my job that I'm glad to wear.

I'm really looking forward to the implementation of the caster contest winner's design. There's RDM now using caster gear too, would be nice having more leather armor and less robe.

People really have to top it with their "then glam" !

The new expansion is here, we shouldn't be forced to glam 90% of the new gear (I'm not saying I am). Robes for healers/casters, ok... But robes for EVERY jobs...? Come on ! It's time for S.E to renew a bit their way of designing gear for some classes. Oh and if I may add... They should stop LONG BOOTS too...

What do you mean forced? Whether gear looks nice or not is most times down to personal taste. SE can't please everyone because it's simply impossible. No one is being forced to glam. It's an option if you don't like how something looks.

But when players feel the need to have to glamour everything, then it's not that much of an option, now is it?

Also, I don't mind robe armors, especially since they aren't nearly as bad as the endless supply of thigh boots in the game.

I main a caster and I don't like how most caster gear looks so I glam all the time. But I recognise it's not because the gear looks bad, that it's because they're not to my personal taste. I don't feel forced to glam. I feel liberated by glamming because it means I'm not forced to wear something I dislike.
