Screenies of the new armor kits?

[lazylaz]

expect them to be 550TP+

Yeah I know

I'm glad they give you the option of previewing first.

Good thing I didn't buy the ones already out. I want to save and get one of those ones.

So that's what Malicia is (kinda) wearing...

Why do you think her AC is so high? It's providing her with a hefty DAC* bonus.

Probably ~80 new textures at the end of the hires dat file. Uploaded a few.

You've got dragonscale armor in there. Looks like the robe designs.

[Snapdragoon]

You are not alone in that wish. But time will tell.

:O

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the new armor mentioned in the news. This seriously just made my day.
And from the looks of things.... FURRY BARBARIAN ARMOR!!

I can already hear my ditzy, furry boots loving barbarian character screaming happily like some over-excited high-school girl.

I know. They were at the end of the dat file for some reason. They must have been modified in some way, but I didn't scan through almost 6k images to find the originals.

Understandable. But it makes me wonder what are they thinking... did they screw up a location? Is their process fubared and they don't realize it?

You know that LoTRO dat file decompression util? The reason I suspect it works is because (based on statements about the utility) Turbine updates the game files by just putting the new stuff at the end - which causes bloat, and slowness.

It is much easier to remove a texture from the file and add the new one at the end with an updated index entry to the new area than it is to rearrange the *entire* file for a modified size.

[Coldin]

There's a few older armor skins in those texture grabs, but certainly some of the others are brand new. And looking at them like that, they do look pretty cool.

I'm going to have to wait buying any new armor kits until I see what these look like.

I was looking at a preview of one of the Beast armor kits today, I think you're going to like them. They look awesome! (yeah I know, I'm being a terrible tease...)

Wow!
Sounds like they'd look great on my Druid!

[Claver]

thanks

Any guess on when we will be able to buy these armor kits.

When do you think Update 9 will go live? Usually, it follows a posted advertisement within a relatively short time.

My hope is April 21st.

Any other guesses.

[Alabore]

12 is probably a texture map, if I had to guess.

Neon armour...

It won't work vs Grappling...

The wooden body skins for WF look interesting... the first one has runes for Shavarath and Xoriat on it as well as the other 'writing'. Too bad these are just skins and not something we'd see for Ironwood Body.

Scratch that.. It's Thelanis and Xoriat not Shav.


I don't care what that is, I dub it the Butterfly Skin.

in fact that skin has runes of xoriat, mabar, one of thelanis, daanvi, dolurrh. one who look very close of the rune of risia, according at the symbols of the Player's Guide to Eberron, in the planes of existence chapter

I believe there are preview kits on Lam for the beast and plains armors.

[Dawnsfire]

Beast 2 armor:



Plains 2 armor:



I am no Photoshop expert but since I like to save screenies over stuff I am considering I happened to have these 2 in my SS folder. Someone more talented then I can go to Lam and get better pictures I hope! (I like the Plains set a little better)
