Anyone else think these particular new base types make little/no sense?

Alpha's Howl.. a wolf head/pelt is now a tricorne of sorts.


Rat's Nest.. is an ursine pelt. For those who don't know, ursine=bear.


Starkonja's Head, which actually is an ursine pelt, is now a silken hood.


Actually the first two make sense to me.

1) It is roughly shaped like a tricorn, its just fashioned to look like (is) a wolf's head, so its passable.

2) A rat's nest is a common expression used to describe unkempt hair, so I think this fits perfectly. That said, the picture doesn't match up with the flavor text and name at all, as rat's nests are usually lined with strewn about hair/fur (where that expression comes from), but that was always a problem.

3) As for this one... well, its logic seems completely nonexistent.

Edit: Changed #2 a bit for clarity.

Maybe it was made from a Charmin bear who had silky soft fur. I like to believe it was.
nvm

XvxReaperxvX once stated in a thread when I made the same request that one of the unique items he's designing (as a Closed Beta Diamond Supporter) is a one-handed axe. I'm not sure what it'll be like, though.

Edit: Oh yeah, and there's that one two-handed axe that actually functions as dual one-handed axes, but there are probably mechanical limitations preventing that at the moment.
same name in-game

For comparison:


So who else is looking forward to throwing miniature suns at the denizens of Wraeclast?


I'm working on making that possible.

You thought right, to be honest I didn't even consider that it may look like Sailor Jupiter at all. I can definitely see how people may have drawn that conclusion though.

But with a user name like "Nuclear Raven" anyone who knows of Okuu and her lore should be able to see it.

In all honesty I supported this game without actually knowing what unique I wanted to make. Didn't even have an idea thematically. It was only when I saw other Diamond supporter uniques referencing themselves in their names that I thought that could be a starting point. Nuclear Raven -> Okuu -> Loads of fire.
