We know right now people are feeling like all armor in Age of Conan is the same and brown. I assure you this is not the case, for along time now we have had a "GM area" where we spawned lots of NPC's that had all sorts of armor appearances so we could tell when art was completed. We have one of these for armor, weapons, and social clothing. Hundreds upon hundreds of appearances.

Anyway to cut to the chase I took your guys concerns and shot an email to Ole Herbjornsen our Lead Designer to ask about Itemization. Ole came back with some very encouraging news. They are going to put blue loot on bosses in the outdoor playfields now and not only on bosses in instances. In addition 3 sets of epic armours for each class (for a total of 36) will allow the item designers to move more of the unique stuff down to lower tiers and over from purple and blue towards green.

The gfx artists will also produce a lot of extra weapons which will further increase the visual variety. He expects these things to be coming into the game within the next week or two.

Please don’t *always* make all upgrades for casters be robes (like wow) at the end of the day it’s a dress that hides all the other fantastic gear equipped, like shoulders, neck, legs, bracers, boots are all hidden with the dress on (or at least allow us to hide it like the helm). I’ve seen some nice cloth on NPCs that weren’t robes.

first... yay and thanks a ton for informing us, this was by far my biggest concern and now i'm at ease

Bravo! Well done, etc.

Thank you.

Oh, STICKY THIS!

I'm going to get in trouble, I reported the post with "Needs to be Stickied" as a reason. </duck.../hide> Crap, I hope stealth works here...

can i get a woot woot?

[Athelan]

Should get a sticky once the mods see it I asked them nicely.

[Dogfish]

Well see, ain't that nice?

Sucks for the fanboys thought, since they liked the lack of variety.

Well I think they liked it, or else why would they continuously keep defending that part of the game like it's their ****ing child?
