[Screenshot] Vendor Quality lvl 30,40 armor

[Skylancer]

Will there be only one armor set of each class (cloth to plate, lvl bound) available for purchase at the Armor Crafter? So that other sets will need to be found or crafted? If that's true, everyone of the will look the same in the beginning, untill you can craft your armor. This all depends on how fast you can attain materials for your self-crafted armor.
Guildwars for example, had multiple designs available at the Armor Crafter. Then again the only armor in Guildwars you could craft yourself was the Obsidian Armor I think.

I like the screens and the fact that we can preview what we buy, this saves alot of time and money.
On the other hand I know I'll spend hours before I know what I'll buy xD

Really nice! Thanks for the pics.

May I ask one question about the DP bars?
On some pics, you see a full bar and to the right there is a "bubble" with a III in it. What does it mean. Can you maybe explain the system a bit?

Thanks in advance,
Haubix

God I hope the rarer armors look a lot better than those... The plate looks more like it should be chain and the chain looks like it should be leather... <.<

I don't think this is so unusual. The teams working on art assets and itemisation have no reason to withhold commiting them to the game just because the designers are focusing on testing certain level ranges, areas and game systems.

Vendor Armor. That means any other level 40 drop set will look better obviously. Buy vendor armor in WoW and see if it looks good :P

Ignorance ---> That'away. Iris and Shil are playing CBT2 beta, in which the maximum level is 34. The armor shown is 40. Now re-read my post.

Vendor armor always looks sucky sucky. It's a way of saying "Haha, you have to buy peasant armor from NPC's when we can afford teh AH."

[Blazze889]

/sigh

even though I love looking at all these
it makes the wait so much harder

but anyways, the armor looks somewhat generic, but thats what i prefer especially for being a while rarity item, if a white looked awsome, then well, that would bother me a bit

[Jaydawarlord]

The gear doesn't look that bad plus it is vendor gear... I'm sure dropped pieces will look better. Besides, it is said that when you hit level 30 that you can change the appearance of the gear. So, if you don't like what the level 40 gear looks like, replace the skin from a piece at 30 or something.

I agree, maby they are trying to give a hiden sneek peek to give people something to talk about

[knite16]

Ok, just because they're not letting characters get to level 40 yet, doesn't mean they have to remove the level 40 armor from the game. Its completed and in the game, so why does it matter? One less thing they have to do when people CAN hit level 40. Seriously, this isn't something to bicker about.

[Midgarsormr]

Lol, no one bickered in the slightest sense. And I made one simple comment. You guys' judgments are very out of place.

[Shilenne]

Jesus, just enjoy my awesome picture taking skills! No arguments!!! =p

[Fyrtenheimer]

Looks pretty good for vendor gear.

[Ergot]

i guess whe gonne see some very nice armors.
if u look at the L2 armors u can see they love to get into the details, hope they puch the limit a bit further in Aion but that lvl 40 gear already looks pretty phat for being vendor gear that is
