Barbarian cultural just looks like plain chainmail. Yeah, plain shit chain. Devs couldn't even throw the tradeskillers a bone for appearance. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That doesn't seem correct.

I took the wiki data from Magelo, and admittedly Magelo is based on live EQ, but ... to my knowledge Verant/Sony never went back and changed the color of old armors, so they should still have the same coloring.

Normal chainmail (eg. https://wiki.project1999.com/Large_Chainmail_Coat) has the fashion style of "Chain", with no tint. Both the Northman Ringmail (eg. https://wiki.project1999.com/Northman_Ring_Mail) and the Imbued version (eg. https://wiki.project1999.com/Imbued_Northman_Ring_Mail) have that same fashion style, with a light purple tint (the auto-color-naming tool I used dubbed it "Melrose").

So, the two should look very similar, but the cultural armor should have a slightly purpler look. I haven't actually made any Barbarian cultural in ages though, so I can't confirm (I do have a barb smith on blue who could, but he's stuck down in the bottom of Charasis ATM [You must be logged in to view images.

Haha no I love the wiki and I think loramin has done an amazing amount of work to make it good, which it mostly is. Only criticizing the appearance links which are almost never right

What that boils down to is that we just don't have enough pictures of people showing off their armor. Whenever you go to look at an item (like https://wiki.project1999.com/Imbued_Northman_Ring_Mail) that no one has published a screenshot of, all we can do is show other armor that looks similar (ie. has the same fashion style), but with a different coloring/tint.

As it happens, I have made some of this armor. I haven't bothered to make a full set yet, but it's enough to get the idea.

Awesome!

If you wouldn't mind posting another pic after you make a full suit, I'd be happy to add it to the wiki for you (or you could add it yourself, by doing the same thing as the existing images on https://wiki.project1999.com/Category:Fashion:_Chain).

Its funny how brainwashed you guys have been over the ItS NoT ClaSsIc laziness defense, even though they said they wanted to offer custom content at some point in the server timeline.

Compare that to every other race's cultural armor componants are easy to get, and the armor isnt half bad.

does every race have cultural armor? i always wondered why every toon didnt have a cool armor crafting option for the given race/class. maybe i missed something...

Trolls didn’t get theirs by luclin. Half elves piggy back off other cultures. Can’t learn to make them though.

go to live where OOW cultural fixes all these problems guy

Should have been discussed years ago, i urge this be moved to grape vendor tier priority!!

You suggested the giants outside permafrost should drop essence of winter, I sought clarification as to whether you thought this was classic behaviour (as the project is like an electronic experimental archaeology designed to recreate eq as it was 1999-2001) and you called me insane but did not actually provide an answer.

You tell me to clutch my pearls when I kindly advise you don’t appear quite as civil as you claim.

You advise me to look back on how well behaved you have been to over posters and your first reply to someone you tell them to stfu.

I appreciate you feel you could have acted much less civil, you are likely right, but take a moment to reflect - you’re trying to push the project into changes that go against it’s core and you aren’t being entirely nice about it either.

Do you really think this behaviour is going to help achieve your goals?

If you think EoWinter is too rare then you need to find evidence toward it dropping more commonly in era instead of mouthing off against people trying to set things straight or help you.

The devs seem unlikely to give a second glance to a thread making unsubstantiated demands full of pages of ranting, don’t you think?
