Armour and Weapon's Appearance

I am the guy that like the realistic armor designs, not those with flames/ golden auras that spark everytime you walk.

This one is my favourite armor set of all times


Also, the Fluted Armor of Demon's Souls is my second favourite set.

PS: Sorry for the giant image. I only found it in this size :/

I hope we get some nifty looking mage gear:

Eg.

(Sorry do not know how to implement an image)

I'll be happy for whatever you give us at end-game.

But i beg you...don't give us something like this : http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2011/june/season10_normal_male.jpg

You know, a lot of people bag out on WOW and the style they use. But i'm going to be truthful and say that: I actually like the way the armour looks in WOW a lot. It is the best damned armour I have probably seen in any game. I love the huge shoulder pads and the magic protruding out of them. I like how the helms look like dragon skulls and all sorts of crazy looking demon heads.

It just looks cool and makes you look really overpowered!!! And you know what! I like that!!!

Wow armor is very cool yes. It just doesnt suit a dark game. Although their armour designs are slowly starting to go down hill if you look up teir 11 and 12.

You're right, the tier 11 and 12 sets do look like they are failing a bit. But they don't look to bad - tier 12 looks quite a bit better than the previous.

I agree...huge shoulder pads are great. And i liked it a lot in old times...but not now, when warrior has some bakery instead of shoulders ;) Just sayin my opinion.

But im pretty sure that PoE (coz of different style of graphics and stuff) won't fall like WoW nowadays. Atleast this is what i hope for, because I'm rly exited about PoE and i want to support it in every way i can.

I think when you find a new good bit of kit it must look different to your previous look. I hate games where you find a great new item and it does nothing to change your appearance.

One would hope that all major finds will enhance our appearences.

Couldn't agree with you more. But I wouldn't be surprised if the changes were slight; considering this falls under the cosmetic category, I would asume you could buy different skins for axes and armours etc.

It would also be good if minor finds would also add to the appearance of the player. Have you ever seen a game, especially an ARPG, where say you equip an amulet and you can actually see it dangling around your neck... I know its pretty stupid, but that's when you can say: Shit this game is bloody detailed!

I just hope, please, that I don't run into to many armour or weapons that just recycle the same appearance. It's a long shot, and might not make to much of a difference, but this small feature is what adds that extra addiction and fun when exploring for loot!
