New gear all the same?

I don't mind the muted colors now because it beats looking like a clown for 10 levels, but I am assuming that the epic stuff will look significantly better than what I have seen so far. I think "epic" should look amazing, with glowing eyes and flaming hilts and all sorts of cool stuff.

Also, since one of my team is a pally and this is my first pally ever I really want that "shining holy gold" look at some point. I saw a paladin yesterday still in his T5 or 6 gear and he looked like a Archangel coming down to smite the wicked... it was rockin.

Gear = stats and gear = style and that is a big part of the game for a lot of people.

I am LOVING the toned down - more medieval looking armor.

No more clown bullshit from Outlands. Looks more like a traditional fantasy game.

This.

Seriously, Outlands gear looked like it was designed for the Maridgras...all that was missing were beads.

Cheers,

Don't get me wrong, I like some of the medievel stuff. But I want a little variety...and my paladin should look like the girl in the Heavy Metal movie... :whistling:

Personally, I love the Earthy tones. Makes a nice change of pace. Also, I freaking love the newly designed buildings. Walked in to the Inn and said 'This isn't the same Inn they build all across Azeroth!' Same thing with the Keep. Totally blew my mind.

I'm not a huge fan of giant glowy epics either. Its cool if there are only one or two, but when everyone and their dog has glowing blue eyes, lightning playing across their shoulders, and weapons so huge there is no way they could be effective, not to mention the 200 spikes that would easily break off, the whole thing kind of loses its charm.

Paladins should look like paladins, not like they fell in to a vat of rock candy after taking a swim, dammit.

I'm more a fan of the D&D fantasy art armor, than the plane-jane old world armor. /shrug

But I don't care too much for the BC clown costumes either..

Reminds me of that 1970's Electric Horseman movie...it too was also crap! =P

What? They never said they were going to update that stuff? I had thought they clearly said that (re)using old models was a choice made in development to speed up design time and to allow them to focus on other aspects of the game?

That's what I remember them saying, too. They put a lot of new models in the game, for mobs and architecture, after all, they have to streamline somewhere.

I'm having more issues with a lot of the quest rewards being very similar, I never know what to keep and equip, or what to DE/toss! :) My lock, druid and mage have full bags of gear and rings and trinkets, and I can't figure out what's safe to get rid of.
