[Not Too Important] - New Bound Armor Style & Color Feedback

Lionxoft · February 2015

The color of the armor makes me feel like a flower child instead of a daedric magic clad warrior. Can you at least make it all black with some red accents? I mean it's bad that I lose the style of my armor I'm actually wearing but what's worse is that the replacement isn't that cool looking. It's my opinion that every armor or weapon should be epic looking.

Maybe make it black and red like the daedric in Skyrim or the ESO Imperial Daedric style in the image? If you want to set it apart at least make it all black. I can't stand being a pinkish/purple armor warrior.

I don't care what you do but just make it look darker. This shouldn't be a difficult task for the team and it's definitely not a huge priority but I'm sure there are some art folks over there that are twiddling their thumbs.

Current:

Requested or what would look badass: (Sorry if that breaks the new forum guidelines but I think everyone will agree with my choice of language.)

Wait what, they changed the new Bound Armor to be the Imperial Daedric?!?!

Drops DK and NB and rerolls Sorcerer

Does look bland though, I'd go for a rusted black, blood tinted/covered look.

Yeah, it's pretty damn cool looking however I think for a daedric magic armor spell it should look - well, more dark. Even an entire black or like you said rusted black would look awesome.

If I was in MD I'd fix the texture for them for free. It bugs me that much.

I'd like the Bound Aegis to have a cooler look, too...

Lionxoft · February 2015

Would anyone be opposed to it being a straight coldharbour ash black? The color of bound armor and it's morphs leave more to be desired.

TBH I'm fine with the bound armor on pts. I love that they used the visual structure from the Skyrim daedric, and its color shows that its created from magicka. Maybe if they could add a subtle shimmer to it similar to the way the scam's skin kinda shifts. i like looking down when I'm gathering and seeing my fingers tipped with rad-looking claws.

How about make it black and have an electric aura or possibly a purple'ish aura/fog?

I really hate it's current color. You could probably tell though :P

I`d love it if the Magicka version had the imperial version... looks really cool....

Maybe their way of saying we should go stamina now. :-)

Either way, it looks cool, the color change would make it look even better.

Personally I wouldn't mind or rather even prefer having an option to turn the visuals off, as my own light daedric armour looks a magnitude better (and can change colours) than the bound armour forms

Maou · February 2015

I really wish they'd just go and full-on replace the current daedric style with the imperial daedric. It's how it should have been in the first place, imo.

Lord_Hev · February 2015

The default colors for crafted Daedric armor are atrocious as well. Not sure what ZOS envisioned here.

If they want to keep that mytic/sorcy look for Bound Armor. They could make it Vampiric/Ash black but with blueish hues orbiting or exuding from the armor proper. That way, it looks mystic and summoned, but without looking... blue. Or pink.It would look Daedric and intimidating instead.

My guess is the Imperial City will be a DLC. The word from the guilds that attended the guild summit is that it was ready months ago.

I do not think the armour should have an aura of sort, but the colour should definitely be changed. Perhaps a custom colour, so it is distinct from the craftable Imperial Deadric armours.

Maybe something like this? Maybe a war torn/scratch style texture?

Yeah... Right... Like we'll ever get the EXACT armor like we see in the trailers... But it'd be nice.

Teargrants · February 2015

At least the model is so soooo much better than the original one with the silly helmet. I just want it to give more than 960 armor ffs. Magical Daedric armor should offer more than just ~2% dmg mitigation.

It's fairly close actually. Color it up a bit and I can see the resemblance. I was more referencing the texture though. The current 1.5 Orc heavy texture (kind of scuffed and rugged style) would be cool.

just make it transparent, its bound armor not actual physical armor -its a spell buff it should reflect that, basically use the same armor but make it transparent blue or purple so that the original armor your character is wearing is still predominately visible

The armor in the video is very similar to the armor that is being released with Imperial City actually

@James-Wayne The armor coming with the Imperial City won't matter at all in this context as bound armor overwrites it's appearance with the nasty purple'ish pink color.
