What we *really* want...simply put

[Crimson_Dark]

As simply put as possible: I've said it before in the past...all that those of us who care about looks really want is two armour slots, and two helmet slots. One is how you wish to look, the other is for functionality. Do that, and we'll be tons happier (once again, for those who care about such things).

Ex: Wizard has the Robe of Duality from The Catacombs in looks slot, because she likes the creepy look it has. She has a Dragontouched robe in functional slot for augmentation benefit.

That's about as succinct as I can put it. Heck, call it the trans-dimensional armour slot or something, and make us earn it (or buy from the store ).

Step in the right direction Devs, but in my opinion, this new set is more for a a group of folks who want to be uniform (like everyone in the guild wear this type ) and should be in addition to the above (though I do like seeing more skin from the new set...belly buttons! Let's bejewel them now!)

What the heck?

Just create a NPC in armor shops to change the pieces or armor/clothing and color as you wish for a moderate price, and make that UI look like the one when you're designing your character's looks in the chracter creation thing

Who is this "we" you speak of? I've never heard of it and that sounds like a horrible idea.

Perhaps this is what "we" want

This is what I've heard suggested numerous times.

But HOW can poor old Turbine profit from this method??

Just messing around. Its a good idea, one of many floating around almost all of them better than what Turbine has planned.

Just make the slot on the armor purchasable in the store... like it is now just you buy a blank instead of leaf 2 or whatever.

[ravengerpl]

Yeah, I want this look (+5 mithral breastplate) for my DT Leather Armor.

[wiglin]

Of course this is just my opinion, but I like how they are doing it, and with time I am sure more options will open up. I do however only were robes and outfits on my characters, and I really like the options. If however I had any characters that wore heavy or medium armor, I would not be happy, as I cannot stand any of costumes.

/signed. again.

simple. easy to implement. AND what the majority wanted...


but so far all you can say is 'at least they did SOMETHING'..... and then made a mess of it. because they couldnt figure out how to nickle and dime ppl to death that way.

Which really is starting to seem like the way things are done here.

[Crimson_Dark]

Who is this "we" you speak of? I've never heard of it and that sounds like a horrible idea.

Wow...really? Nothing better to do than rain on my parade?

How about the "we" that have been asking for this since 2006? Does that "we" suit you?

I definitely said those who cared about how they looked in game. Those who don't, troll off.

I like that implimentation... It would give immediate access to any armor graphic currently in the system + whatever they add.

BOTH!

Make it so you can buy these skins they are making as a one off, or you can buy the vanity slots for X TP points or something!

That way they don't waste what they've already developed but those of us who want to look like rogue bad @$$3$ in our Drow Hunters Armor can!

[Thelmallen]

There have been numerous threads asking for this very thing for over four years and the devs rolled out this system so I'm guessing they're not listening or don't want to/can't do it.

I, however, have made many posts asking for this very thing so I'm all for it.

of all the games I've played, lotro has the best type of cosmetic armor system - it's easy to understand, easy to experiment with, and easy to change later. Income comes from store exclusive benefits - extra storage for costumes and unique outfits.
It's also owned by turbine.

Then I could put this skin on my ugly Epic Big Top and look like a Paladin instead of a clown.

Using a second slot for looks is a stupid idea in my opinion.

Not trolling in the slightest. Nor am I raining.

I've never heard of this "two-slot" suggestion. Never. Not even from those who care about what they look like in the game

And if it was suggested, those who do care about what they look like, have always pined for the customization like in the start up screen. No need for 2 slots when you could have this.

You are the only person whom I've seen want this. Hence the "who is "we"" statement.
