This x 500. I don't care if SE supposedly says that they want certain pieces to look "iconic". If that's truly how they feel, they shouldn't tease us by having NPCs strut around in multiple colored versions of the Acolyte's Robe and whatnot. (It's not endgame armor, but the general point still stands!)

Making several colored textures for the same piece of armor is NOT difficult. *starts grumbling too*

I suspect they'll relax the restrictions on lower level gear (or at least give us more options at some point), but I do hope they don't let us dye the artifact gear.

NPCs already have palette-shifted versions of artifact armor, so I don't see an issue with allowing everything to be dyeable.

THIS. God, I want that classic blue BLM AF variant so bad.

BLM AF2 (Sorcerer's Attire, purchased with mythology tomes) is dark navy blue and has a matte texture rather than the shiny/leathery texture of AF1. It looks so much nicer.

Screenshots or it didn't happen! Wink

But yeah. I want that, and then I want a /visor option to make the face go dark, with that one glowing yellow eye. (Hee.) It could work similarly to the All Saints' pumpkinhead hats, if anybody else noticed what /visor does with those.

More on topic, I wonder what the reasoning is behind leve experience being so low compared to FATEs? You'd think the fact that they're so limited would be enough to offset any notion of them becoming a means of "easymode" leveling. Mindlessly zerging FATEs is easy enough, but it's so boring I can practically feel my soul being sucked away. Sad

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's more oversight than deliberate. Â Either that, or that the developers didn't realize how unpopular Leves would be for the Battle classes with so little XP. Â I want to believe that it's just an oversight, and that it'll be fixed later (much like Gathering leves were fixed with the last patch).

It might be deliberate. Battlecraft leves spawn new mobs for the character/party doing them. If they were the go-to method of levelling, the fields would be filled with those untargeteable mobs. I'm not sure if that would strain the server in any way, but it could get really silly really fast if too many people used them.

I can't help but feel this thread has been horrifically derailed.

We roleplayers can't be confined by such silly ideas like "staying on topic." Â I mean, geeze!

You should be proud! Your simple question gave birth to a brilliant conversation that has spanned several subjects that are at least within the same realm of your original post! That's quite an achievement!

This is now a funny gifs thread.

Here, I'll start.
