Roja Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Well to be honest I don't love the helmet either..but I have a big challenge/problem when making any head gear: the hair. The helmets have to be able to fit the largest hairdo, so that means they are much wider than the should be and look a little funny. I had this in mind when I originally made the hairs, purposely making them as small as can be with the small variety we have..but I couldn't make everyone's hair pasted against their head. Sure it's possible to make a special "helmet head" model-but then i'd be making one for almost every head because the hair that sticks out of it needs to be unique. And that's a lot of work that really isn't worth it imo-but this is pretty much the only way to do it. Not to mention the fact that ever helmet model is slightly different, and tha twould have to be taken into account too! And it would look stupid to just use a bald head so that wouldn't work either. Anyway I do have other ideas for some cool helmets that I know would work fine, and armor too of course, but I was saving them for some special armor sets Maybe i'll change this one around a bit..I'll see. Maybe not as it does have the elements I'd like it to have, it just doesnt' look correct because it's not tight against the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Keep in mind that fancier armors are actually bad for combat. the more places that the weapon can lodge or a blow can do more damage. Plus, fancier armor spells out important target Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roja Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Sure, but this is a fantasy game. Players want to look cool, not practicle Although I do try to balance that out. I don't like to get totally unrealistic, stupid, and stereotypical like some games/shows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CelticLady Report post Posted March 26, 2006 I personally love this armor and can't wait to manu it. I'm just hoping I have a high enough manu lvl and available picks when it is released. Two thumbs up Roja, great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallosZek Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Well to be honest I don't love the helmet either..but I have a big challenge/problem when making any head gear: the hair. No idea, how this would work technically, but can't we assume hair to be tucked in the helmet for this armor? Would solve an artistic problem and a combat vulnerability (you don't want space between your head and your helmet) I love the design of the patterns and also allows for a bit of variation and differentiation: gold plated (as posted), emerald imbued (greenish) etc... As a side note, I'm surprised plate is evolving, but we still miss chain head/legs/feet (less accuracy negs ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petersohn Report post Posted March 26, 2006 As a side note, I'm surprised plate is evolving, but we still miss chain head/legs/feet (less accuracy negs ). Do we need them? Iron cuisses/greaves have only -1 accuracy/defence, while leather has 0. And there is not much armor difference between them. Leather pants is 1-2, and cuisses are 2-5. I don't think we need something in between. But a higher variety of hats would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enyo Report post Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) Still looks great to me either way Roja but personally I preferred the banana nose as you call it. Its nice to protect my precious Dragoni nose. Edited March 27, 2006 by Savyl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RallosZek Report post Posted March 27, 2006 I personally would like them added to the manu progression to give some variety and hopefully provide a little bit of a market. That will happen as we add more weapons/etc Weapons are for Trik A dagger would be nice though - I keep trying to steal them from fem gobs :> I'd seriouly love a full chain for my 'rogue'. As for the stats, even if it were the same as leather armor wise, it wouldn't have the heat/cold protection, but it would have higher durability (less then plate obviously).
