Welcome to PlaneShift and the boards :]
You can buy two armor types at the moment:
Light Armor - Leather

Medium Armor - Chainmail
(http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2629/ylianchainmailar9.jpg)
The last category that isn't fully available to players yet is platemail:

are all races going to get plate mail?
-
All except the Klyros, whose skeletal structure cannot bear the weight. Chainmail is the most protection they can have.
-
:thumbup:
sweeeet...well,
not for the klyros i suppose...
but still...sweeeeet
kalika drools thinking about how pretty she'll look in her plate armor
-
Wow! Thats the first time I've seen the full chainmail and any plate. Keep up the good work. It looks great! \\o//
-
The last category that isn't fully available to players yet is platemail:
player's don;t get to use a full set of chainmail yet ;) let alone see plate mail, the screenshot Karyuu put up of platemail is one of the Hydlaa guards at the north gatem to us mortals he's just wearing normal clothes ;)
I've only seen platemail torso on Darkmoon (see "screenshots!" thread)
though I'm fully aware a GM/dev with the right access can help themselves to a full set and various other goodies ^_^
it'd be nice to see some of this, as I'm sure it's going to turn up soon ;)
-
Isn't one of the guards in the Bronze Doors fortress wearing platemail?
-
I saw a guy there with it yeah, he also had a spikey shield (forgot it's proper name, it was the larger one GM's used to have) and a Galkard, but last time I looked around the fortress he was gone, a Dermorian and Ynnwn were standing in the place he was.
-
Ohhhhh, the platemail looks friggin awesome!!!!! :woot: This is my first viewing of it. I can't wait till it is implimented. Nice work Dev's.
-
i dunnos if we can even get full chainmail yet...
-
we can't :] just the torso and arms (which for some races is unskinned still)
but you have to remember! there's no point wearing heavy armor if you're better at using light armor ;)
-
It may be at some point in the future there will be tourneys with categories of competition based on equipment.
-
Karyuu, please oh please can you make your graphics setup publically available? I've been fiddling with the settings a lot, but never could make it look good despite there's not that many combinations...
-
I try to max a few things out for screenshots:

It also helps to scale shots down from that initial large resolution, as it has a smoothing effect. Even without scaling down though the results are rather nice. #2 from below hasn't been scaled:

Very nice :)
I once tried to run PS with 256x Anisotropy filtering when that was still possible to set, man that looked smooth - but playing felt more like a slide show then. ;)
-
Well, with the supercomputers of the distant future.. (http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/6632/grinby0.gif)
-
so.... uh does that mean theres ONLY 3 types of armor? i thought there would be like 5 types of light med and heavy armor....... :( ???
-
I'm hoping there will be hundreds! (http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/4929/usedusedusedvi7.gif) This is only a beginning - we don't exactly have dozens of artists available at the moment.
-
are the colors of the armor customizable?
*edit*
well i got lots of ideas for armor and stuff, how bout traditional knight and samurai armor for heavy, katanas and naginatas lots of swords i got sketches out the a$$ of stuff yall could use just tell me where to send stuff to artists and i can help a lot
aim sn- monkeybanana552
-
I think the point is that there aren't enough artists to do all the art for these things, and the code for them ingame isn't really ready to support things like that yet ^_^
Yes, there's armour.. But of that many different types? How would they be distributed? Loot? Quests? Store? How expensive? How rare? Quests barely work, loot is unstable.. The whole lot of it's unstable really.
And I think it'd be better if the artists were spending their time on completing the models for characters without them instead of making extra decorative armour that will probably be removed/downgraded/wiped/replaced/whatever in the next major version.
Also, I don't expect to see knights and samurai around Yliakum anytime soon..
-
i agree with kiirani
id much rather have the character models than extra goodies like "crazy kewl" armor.
start with the basic stuff and then go from there...
-
no im not sayin crazy kewl im sayin i can help with armor and swords to make it a bit more fun. a couple more designs would do some good and its pretty hard to disagree with that; but i'd like to help if i can...im full of ideas
*edit*
seriously man, IM me and tell me where to give some drawings to the artists they can make em 3d i just want to help w/ the games item development.
-
Please don't post one message after another. Edit your first post to add more information.
We have a lot of ideas, us artists - what we don't have is time. We're balancing a lot of different art tasks at once.
*edit* Thanks Kalika! :)

:offtopic:
i like your signature karyuu....very pretties
:flowers:
-
Haha! Those screenies look like a fashion show. *Cue Right Said Fred*
"Iiiiiiii'm too sexy for my armuh..." :lol:
-
xD We need a fashion video.
"Datruuuuuth..!"
-
At first we need all the fancy stuff ingame and available for players ;)
-
yeah!
we'll make cool videos but only if you give us the cool stuff! XP
mm blackmail of sorts? yummeh..

(wrong game I know, but meh)
oh and k's siggy has rabbit ears. :P
-
Karyuu is secretly a cross between a jackrabbit and a panther :P
The mesh-change-upon-equip system is a big step for customability, even if it does add a bit more work. What we need is a larger number of (rather good) modelers to speed up what everyone wants to see.
-
buy karyuu, can we expect things like knights and samurai/ katanas and other fabulous things in the future?

I'd prefer to be castrated then see samurai swords and katana's in planeshift, maybe something remotely similar, but not blatant. these weapons are over hyped, and in some games over powered. too many wannabe ninjas
(no offense to Hart Sterr)
-
maybe im biased
but Hart sterr pulls it off very well :D
-

Samurai and katanas are things of this world, not Yliakum. The cultures and histories of the PlaneShift races differ very much from the growth our own have experienced, so something that location- and time-specific isn't going to be found in the game. Knights however, since this is a medieval world, are bound to be found in one form or another - members of some honorary military rank, noble birth, etc.
-
Only felt like reading the first page.
Why aren't all of the armors available to the public yet? Sheilds are available, along with a few glyphs like summon, but they don't even work. Could we just be provided all of the armor that's implimented and wait for them to be fixed or whatever and actually work? I hate having one half chainmail and the other half leather...on menkis it's disgusting looking.
-
(too many wanna be ninjas)
ignore ninjas and pirates i love samurai-i have a library dedicated to the history of the warring states, campaigns of samurai warlords, and the evolution of the mind im only talking to the ignorant fool who said too many wanna be ninjas; :@#\DONT YOU EVER CONFUSE SAMURAI WITH NINJAS EVER AGAIN!!!!!! ninjas suck samurai kick a$$....but any way...to everyone else ya'll are cool, karyuu thanks for the help and for yall making a game in which we can expect many great things and i apologize to anyone who reads this and takes it the wrong way please disregard that idiots post. we all look foward to seeing the new armors of planeshift. but something that resembles samurai armor might be a good visual armor with like 0 def....just puttin it out there ;)
Don't try to be clever and slip through the "cursing" radar ;P --Karyuu
-
:flowers:
ninjas and samurai are both lovely, here sit down ad have a cookie
anywho it doesnt matter which one is bestest :D
-
Kary, will the platemail be available and show up on Krans?
-
Kran will have platemail - the only race that just isn't able to wear anything that heavy/strong is the Klyros.
/me underlines "only" a couple of times. (http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1001/meowea0.gif)
-
Ok, but will it show up on the krans? because not all chain mail does...
-
It will show up when it's finished and when we put it in-game :] As will all chainmail.
-
Ah cool. Thanks Kary :flowers:
-
okey dokey *munches cookie ::| ....poisoned cookie
