I tend to agree with Drem. The textures that come with the new armor from velious is something that distinguishes you as wearing that gear, especially when it comes to things like ToV armor.

You aware there are three different types of armor for each of the 4 types right? For example you have Plate, Velious Plate 1 and Velious Plate 2. Two of these are completely new styles of armor and one just replaces the old version.

Imbrued Breastplate = Plate look
Singing Steel Breastplate = Plate look
Melodic BP (PoG drop) = Velious Plate 1
BP of Twilight (Skyshrine quested armor) = Velious Plate 2

Currently the only armor that is any different are the standard plate/chain/leather/cloth looks that get updated with Velious as standard anyhow. Armor made or dropped from SoV generally has its own unique looks that varies from the standard types. There are some exceptions to this when you start looking at monks who have a whole category to themselves called monk (look up Wu's as an example).

All we have done is offered the look earlier for those who would like to make use of it, if you don't like it then don't use it.


BTW, I have the Velious textures on as well so if you want to model some standard/Kunark/Velious armor I'm more than happy to take a few pics of you to prove it.
