Time To Discuss Barbarian Cultural Armor

No I did not. I did not play before kunark. But it still sucks that one has to farm their race's cultural armor components on the other side of the world (to get them easier)

EC has geared my barbarian, and if I am able to collect my own essence on that toon, there would be no point, now.. And I would still need ALOT of it, compared to other races.

Lol this guy is a imbecile

Those p99 shots don't look tinted at all, do they? Is it possible to get a side by side with a barb NPC wearing chain for comparison?

This may be a discovery worthy of a bug thread.

Dont be confused with the voices in your head.

Perhaps I've taken it too personally, but I didn't find your discussion so civil.

The interaction between armor tinting and light sources got a bit weird at some point (the Titanium client has the "weird" interaction).

Light sources will sort of "negate" armor tints. For example, in normal lighting crafted armor will have the normal light blue tint, but if you get close to the armor with a light source you'll notice that the armor looks more like un-tinted platemail where the light is shining.

Difficult to describe but I'm sure some people have noticed this.

If the Northman chain is a light purple tint it's possible that there's enough lighting in that screenshot to "destroy" the tint. It's easier to see armor tints in dimly lit areas.

To be fair, that screenshot was taken on my phone from the character selection screen. Character select enhances the full model detail but also seems to increase brightness when compared to in game. Also my phone may have auto adjusted brightness or something. Either way, if there is any sort of tint it is very negligible. Same holds true for high elven chain. I will try to get better screenshots in game sometime, although it can often be hard to get good quality full body shots.

The only pic I know of in the wiki is:

The Northaman ringmail definitely seems to have some blue stripes, while the normal (banded) armor doesn't ... but the lighting between the two pics is so different that it's hard to say for sure.

If anyone has a Barbarian in banded that they could screenshot (at the character select screen), it would help us compare apples to apples.

What you are seeing in this image, is banded mail. Though it may be that some other armors have the exact same graphic.

Banded looks the same as chainmail: both have the fashion style of "Chain" (see https://wiki.project1999.com/Banded_Mail and https://wiki.project1999.com/Chainmail_Coat).

Again, that's based on Magelo (ie. live) data ... but again, AFAIK Verant never changed either Banded or Chainmail (or pretty much any other armor) after Velious.

Did you not see the posts I was replying to? I think what I said in response to them was very civil, compared to what it could have been. Why dont you look at their posts and then clutch your pearls.
