    Default Duelist Leathers Bland Looking?

    I really like the stats on the Duelist Leathers, but the graphics of them just don't appeal to me at all.



    Personally, I think event items should always look a bit unique. If we can't get new art assets than maybe something more like the Fencer's Garb out of Threnal could be used instead?




    I wouldn't mind seeing the weapons get a visual upgrade either. They're all just generic skins with the exception of the dagger.

    They look like **** so you'll buy an armour kit

    I agree 100% with you though. Specialty armours should have a unique and appealing graphic.

    Ya, that's awful. Guess turbines too busy designing their armor kits to make actual game armors look good :P

    Funny thing is, I don't really enjoy any of the cosmetic kit styles for light armor either.

    I don't think the style is really all that horrid as far as leather amors go but it could definately use some color and detail.

    Embelish it with some red on the leather straps in front and the armguards and put a black skull where the rings are connecting all the leather straps in front and this would look like something i'd get from killing a bunch of pirates.

    Ugh it looks like a one piece unitard with a crossover shoulder accesory. Oh can't forget the evening gown/rocker arm sleeves! That really makes the outfit.

    I wouldn't let my characters or a friend's character be caught dead in this. No amount of color will help it.

    Event plate armor also looked very not cool (I had cooler looking random +4 Full Plate).

    The only interesting looking item/weapon I saw was the dagger, which kind of looked like a twin-bladed knife. Actually, the graphic they used for the dagger seemed like it would be better suited on the shortsword to be honest.
