Armors

Kamael Classes Started Last reply 51 posts
Hi

I was just trying some A grade armors and it's total crap. Why NM and Maj (the ones I've tested) looks exactly the same?

Is this with all armors? So all C will look the same, all B's will look the same and all A's will look the same?

Is NC Soft gonna change this?
Doom looks the same as BW, DC looks the same as Zubei, and so on.
:(
CMON! Making updates is hard work! can't expect them to make unique skins for EVERY armor available...what is it, like 30 or something like that??? CHRIST. THEY ARE JUST HUMAN!

(sarcasm :) )
Thanks for info Aconyte.
I can't imagine how could they done it. They don't had to make heavy armors. Well in fact they've needed to do only Light Armors. I can undersrtand that Zubei robe will look the same as light (it's ok for now). They could do at least all B, A and S light armors.

IMHO this is a shame for NC.

@ManicMonday - they are human... very well paid human... :P
Drake (C) has it's own skin as well as Clan Oathe (D). I was hoping they would add some more skins for B grade before it went live. :|
Salamander Skin has itsown armor skin as well...looks ridiculous, but it has one :p
The only hope is they will do this in some updates earlier than ct2 :(

When the look of all armors was always a great advantage of L2 over other games (besides others of course), the way NC Soft done kamaels dissapoint me much.

"Drake (C) has it's own skin"


Not true... Drake shares it's skin with Avadon Light Armor (http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/CinnamonFall/Shot00018.png) (*~*)

It's utterly bewildering as to why they would share skins... expecially sharing skins accross different grades! It's absurd and quite frankly i think it's a shame, and extremely lazy on the designers' behalf.

It never ceases to amaze me how they can bestow so much time into certain aspects of the game, whilst simultaneously neglecting others.

Good Job NC!!! ^_^

well, this isn't the first time this has been an issue. I remember human mystics wearing a variety of armor that all looked like sages rags.

I think the Drake looks nice, but now that Eggy mentions it. The color is fitting for Avadon but the scale looking texture is fitting for Drake. Maybe NCSoft shortcutted since Avadon Light is rarely worn.
I've added a link to my previous post jus to show they are the same skin ^_^

Yes sadly Avadon LA is rarely ever crafted or worn by anyone, it's a shame coz i don't think the set is that bad; but i do generally tend to go for 'looks' over 'stats'.

Form > Function = Eggy ^_^

For a Very long time B grade and up Robes, Heavy and light looked the same on Orc mage yet they could wear anyone of them. no manner what you had on they all looked like robes.
Think of the skin sharing as a pvp advantage as they could think you are in d grade when you are really in A grade and so they die trying to gank you
Does anyone have a screenie, or know what PL and Theca look like on female Kamael? thanks ^^
Me in Theca :p
Sorry quality's a bit poor, it was saved as bmp and converted to jpg >.< I'm curious too what drake looks like.

Majestic looks pretty nice imo (but from what I read all a-grade armor looks the same? That's kinda sucky again...)

On human/orc mystics Plated Leather/Rind Leather still look like Karmian, Composite armor look like Salamander and Mithril looks like Manticore.

NCSoft still has alot of textures to add and alot of unused textures (some are from L1 lol) to remove from the client.
That's Doom? That looks exactly like BW. I can see the little wolf head on the armor.

I saw so many Kamael running around in that on the PTS; it's no wonder I thought BW was the B armor of choice.
Aye that's doom, like someone else pointed out they recycled textures for some of the sets. Doom/BW being one of them :<
anyone have rind leather?
Checked that website, but the a-armors are a bit hard for me to understand.

I know the white set is Maj LA. But the others? Which is which? I heard dc-light has the exact same look as doom light. Which already shares the same look with BW. So I kinda hope this isn't the case, if it is I might just wear a different set to make a fashion statement >.>
DC light looks the same as Zubei.
Tallum, Majestic, and Apella armors have their own textures.

Btw did anyone notice that gloves are just not displayed on Kamael characters, same as helmets?
Gloves are displayed..
wtb some screenshots from Kamael in any A-grade (cept Maj LA already seen that) and I think I've seen a Kamael in zubei before so know what dc looks like but the rest?

Since when could you see the helmets on the chars?
Gloves are there.

Gloves are displayed..



They are displayed as a part of light armor. Once you unequip your top, there are no gloves showing.
But Salamander looks hot hot hot!!! Especially with Feathered Hat...
<----- See picture in my avatar!!
:( I like the rind.

PS: Now I need goggles. Dang.
Most armor looks pretty nice on female Kamael...now on the male counterparts...

Have to try that out.. pretty sure they're displayed. However the gloves are actually gloves, not huge gauntlets. Haven't tested it on male Kamael.
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried out varius gloves on my Kamael yesterday. They only seem to cover the left hand, and they are so small that I can get away with a different glove in the set despite fashion *******. :p
Wow. Rind Leather looks awesome.

Maj looks pretty cool as well, it's lame how it's the same as NM though.
Why do almost EVERY armor set have a collar!? I want the hair on my lovely Kamael woman to flow freely in the wind!!

Its protection from the draft the wings cause.

And btw anyone have more Rind images, as I still see it as a bunch of feathers and 2 car headlights. and you say it looks good,
It depends on how you look at the sets, I suppose. Some people look at human female warriors in zubei light and see sports shorts, and others just see the elegantly emphasised form. ;)

In the case of rind on a Kamael? I just love the incritate detail on the top, and the fact that unlike all other C Grade armors, it doesn't look outright horrible (Plated Leather) or washed out (Drake, Theca).

However, still contemplating getting myself theca, too, just for ease of acquistion and the fact that it looks relatively decent.
ty :) it took a lot of screenies and body to soul to get it just right

Ahhh yes indeed kamaels wear a glove on their left hand only, and the glove is so small it's really hard to notice.
god dammit... so now i am about to get the Rind. got the top just to see how it looked and it did look nice. :p
Know I only need the boots as if i dont remember wrong one get the gloves in a quest

I like the rind.

PS: Now I need goggles. Dang.



I knew that if someone were to appreciate that, it'd be you. :cool:

Honestly, most any other C gloves will do. Unless you just want the complete set anyway. The glove textures for Rind are incomplete (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y147/strafe/ct1/oh_no_you_di_int.jpg) for the Kamael wimmenz, and the only visual distinction made when you switch gloves is made on the left hand.
Boots = composite boots have matching texture and more pdef. Yay! Rest can be spoilt.
