Thank you ZOS for the dry cleaning...I really like the new armor look.

Grageeky

Sending out our armor and paying our dry cleaning bills, how awesome, thank you ZOS. Three of my characters changed and sported new armor appearances. Cool!

Honestly, I rather have the game back to how it was yesterday if it meant veteran zones were playable again.

Zionysus

I had some pretty neat Breton black and copper armor at level 8, and it's now washed out brown. No glistening copper or nice black trim. That was not fun to see. Wth?

Glad someone likes the changes I guess....I'm not a fan.

Emencie

I had a 4 style custom set of armor that took quite a bit of time to match up since they change color based on upgrade level... Now I look like a clown.

I had three pieces of VR10 Imperial heavy armor upgraded to Legendary that matched my robe incredibly well. Now it's some kind of blueish blackish I don't know color scheme. Oh well.

Improved VR armor aesthetics was something I was really excited for. But I would gladly go back to having dull, ugly armor if it meant having a semi-playable game.

Zionysus

I give up. It really does feel like we're paying for beta. This is really becoming discouraging.

Poeskas

what are u talking about. the new poop-brown/yellow-pee armor looks terribad

Morana

My blue robes are now a very unflattering shade of yellow and brown... I want my blue robes back.

posted in another thread like this but I'll say this again anyway.
they looked fine before, so why the "fix"?

if it's not broken don't fix it.

A lot of people felt is was very much broken. Personally speaking I couldn't even find a decent VR10 armour set which was a disappointment so I'm excited to see what they have done. A lot of people may not like the change initially but level up a little more and the option will be there to change your armour if you dont like it.

There were complaints about the veteran gear, but why change the lower level gear as well? There were no complaints about that as far as I know. It was great and had a nice feeling of progression without looking bad.

Even the patch notes only mention the change for veteran gear. If that got better I am happy for the players that got that high level. For the rest of us still in pre-veteran gear for a long time I can say a lot, but will leave it with 3 letters: WTF?

Try reguard armour. Its now...pink.

Except they didn't look fine before. You may have liked what they were but they didn't look fine, they looked washed out and low quality. This is the intended armor progression. They were missing specular maps and the rarity progression was reversed.

maybe I didn't word it very well, but they didn't look as washed out as they are post-1.1.2.
take altmer linen robes for example. they had not-toooooo-bad-light blue hue to them pre-patch and now they are just plain meh. so drab. they look like they've been soaked in bleach overnight or something. they weren't great but weren't much of an eyesore before (to me)
...and now they're an eyesore (again, to me anyways)

Here's my VR5 NB in VR5 crafted medium gear (3 sets) before and after the patch. I play assassin style, stealthy and all... Really liked my gear BEFORE.
After the patch i feel like my stealthiness has been nerfed since now i shine like a diamond (I do know it does not affect my stealth in any way but that's how i feel :P )
