New gear all the same?

[Frosty]

I haven’t made it too far into the new content, but I’ve checked out some sites to view the new armor models. Is everything the same (or almost the same) model with a different color, or am I missing something?
Even the epic drops seem to have the same look as greens/blues.

Your right.. its all the same stuff recoloured.

I hope its just placeholder untill the art department can come up with something better / original.

[Frosty]

Sigh.. not that it's game affecting.. but there still seems to be Plate pieces from TBC that all have the same look too..

And some of those even look like leather! :S

I doubt this will be a high priority for Blizzard.

[Frosty]

Umm...

They did the exact same thing when BC hit. Re-used lots of pre-bc art models recolored.

This is the way of WoW. get used to it.

Right, and I'm still waiting on them to update most of the BC stuff too. :P

Bah! You act as if I know what I'm talking about!!! :whistling:

I have now rail-roaded my own thread and this is now about platemail thongs, my friend..

I realize the new zone is "cold" but my Draenie Paladin has furry feet!
And my Blood Elf Death Knight...is dead..or something.

But on a side note, I'm sure you are right...I just need to wait.
Besides, by the time I'm high enough level to wear the armor, they'll release another expansion anyway.

You said plate mail thongs and I went a completely different way.

Oh we're not talking flip-flops here!!!

The armor seems bleh but I do think the weapons look amazing.

Oh I agree with you there. The weapons are pretty cool. :thumbsup:
