Rubedite/Rubedo/Ancestor/Ruby Ash Appearance or Voidsteel/Shadowhide/Voidcloth/Nightwood Appearance?

So reflecting back to when Voidsteel/Shadowhide/Voidcloth/Nightwood was the be all armor when vr14 was the cap. I was browsing the appearance of armor sets with the older mats and I surprisingly liked their look more than the new ones. I am just not a red type of person. It's not my favorite color, I did love the voidsteel on weapons 100% more though than rubedite because of that though. In that they actually lacked the red tinge of color that I hate in it.

So I ask. Which end game appearance do you like more? For me personally I prefer the old style more. Especially the voidsteel weapons. They looked way better without the red!!

Also, here's a link to compare the 2

    lol guess I should have added a 3rd option for "other". My bad, although you would technically have to choose between those 2 for endgame cause there isn't currently an option otherwise :/

    But does wool have that elasticity and thickness that voidcloth has :P Plus voidcloth sounds cooler too haha

    ZOS apparently has an internal conflict on this. Some I guess don't want unrealistic weapon colors like pink swords. I agree with them... realistically swords should be bright red in color. *facepalm*

    I hate them both equally, I prefer iron/steel for my blades. Count me in as someone who wants either weapon dyes or a full wardrobe/appearance system.

      I love red but agree that we need a better weapon color. Would love if we could have our weapons be something akin to, say, Cyrodilic Steel.

      Need more options. Look for me is most often combo of mat and style not just mat.
      I for one think appearance should be divorced from level by allowing any look from a lower level to be crafted. So use rubefote or void for the level but choose any look from their level or lower.

      Also, remove lower level cap on mats.

      But for sure, greatly expand cosmetic options. The narrow cap range bottom and top is out of place in 1T design, imo.

      I like voidsteel much better, but in fairness to the ruby fans, it should be a choice.

      Agree with @STEVIL Once you max out crafting, you should be able to make any lower level style/appearance with max level mats.

      Just let us dye the weapons already!

      If they're still having a slap fight over weapon dyes, they could just sell something sort of like the Merethic Restorative Resin which would turn a stack of any ore into a stack of ore in an approved color. Light silver, dark silver, blue silver, white gold, dark gold, tan, copper, bronze, void purple, matte black, gloss black, bone white, and ivory white. Those should cover it, right?

      They could plan it right around when they want to increase the level cap, so that they get a huge gold sink right off the bat from people crafting all-new CP200 or whatever sets.

      I'm of two minds on this so I didn't vote. I like the red in the armor if I want it. It's a much nicer red than any of the dyes I have unlocked so far. I don't like either color for my weapon. The color of the voidsteel is better for a weapon if I have to choose, though. It actually looks like a metal. I think they should allow us to take the color of the material and the color of the style material and make something unique. In other words, they ought to let us dye our weapons. Maybe some day.

      I only use light/medium armors and don't pay attention to the details of heavy.

      I think the best looking light/medium outfits are available at level 1. They consistently look worse with each tier increase as grow bigger and sillier-looking wing, shoulder and crotch flappers.

      As a result, after a few level increases, I cover the increasingly fugly looking armor with costumes.

      They look pretty much similar for me. And after all it doesn't matter cause all my characters are fat orcs so nothing suits them better than wedding dress or nordic bath towel.

      **** their internal conflict. The vast majority of their customers want some control over what weapons look like. If I can get past 400lb Orcs in wedding dresses I think I can tolerate a pink sword.

      no because someone might dye their weapon a colour i don't like

      and if people don't conform to the things that i like they have no place in this video game about choice and being different

      Yeah... ZoS, take a look at all of the 7'8" Orcs running around in bright pink wedding dresses, and then we can talk about the realism of painting our weapons.

      this is biased because humans are biased.

      on average the favored color of most humans is Blue (voidstone)

      red is somewhere in the middle (rubidite)

      also you have no "I like both / don't like either" option.

      the real solution is just to give us weapon dyes, and I don't want to hear "PINK WEAPONS! NOO!" that same thing was thrown around when armor was considered and only a small group of weirdos end up actually wearing all pink in what i would consider an inappropriate way (male orcs in pink wedding dresses for example)

      most people just want steel looking weapons, or black, or whatever.

      I HATE BRIGHT RED WEAPONS. In lieu of the option to make them friggin steel colored I'll make them look black instead.
