Clothing Options

[Capprion]

if anyone has ever played AO they got a great system you could possibly take a few things from when it comes to cloths and armor....also  why in the world does armor stats not show up? it basicly just says this is armor. and the typ and where it goes...no defensive status or nething...

Because the devs are trying to keep the amount of stats and numbers low

Hi again,

I agree with Rolf_Blacksmiths posts. However, I also agree with Capprion that there should be some indication of how protective the armor is, and if it affects other things. Leather, chain and plate are easy to guess with common sense, but when we add things like grizzly  bracers of the mud, no one knows by default what they do. Besides, we do have a number that shows weapon damage. I think there could be less exact info when examining (at least if you're not an expert in that item type). Eg.

 - - - -

- Broken leather cap -

Skill: Leather armor
Encumberance: Low
Protection: Low

Weight: 0.5 kg
Durability: Falling apart

Reduced durability
Charisma penalty

The leather caps were an export from the third level of Yliakum. Made of multiple layers of hardened leather, they could not block the whole damage of a direct hit, but often softened it enough to protect the wearer from concussion.

Hmm, I haven't played this "AO", care to explain a bit more how clothing is handled there?

Heavy plate armor would reduce dexterity. Your not going to have an Enki jumping around like a kitten and reacting to a blow with usually feline reflexes, if they are wearing such armor. Strength or body etc could go to reduceing the effect that armor has on you, but only to a certain point. No one can fight in plate armor like its a wedding dress, no matter how hench they are.

Heleckie desperately wants a beautiful red dress.  Or a beautiful dress of any colour for that matter.  She has a ynwynn body.

Her armour makes her look very masculine which she doesn't mind that much as she is a warrior.  But when she takes her armour off she is left decidedly drab and mousey looking.  She looks like a milkmaid.  Dull coloured trousers, miserable looking jerkin and a long sleeve blouse.

She wants a dress and she wants to look pretty.  Preferably a red dress.

So my request is that a dress could be made that could be donned like armour with maybe a few colour choices.

pink?

I want a dress too!

Actually, speaking for the Nolthrir, we don't want dresses. We want cute little sarongs and cover-ups. We'll let the Diabolettes have the long gowns.

Noooooooo  -- not pink!!!  Definitely not pink!  I'll take blue if i can't have red.

The Nolthrir are sexy enough as it is.  So they should be given cake instead.

That's about what I thought of the fynnwn base skin ...

... looks like a milkmaid.  Dull coloured trousers, miserable looking jerkin and a long sleeve blouse.

... when I made my fanart textures. Maybe I'll come up with such a dress one day, but I am sure there's artists around that can do way better than me.

I believe that if we can have different armor types it should be possible to have different dresses for females, and males of any race.  A challenge to the artists.  Armor is lovely in it's place but who wants to go to a party in it?

What about klyros? When most other races don't wear armor they have clothing...All we have is a loincloth.

Actua;;u Enki don't have any clothing, unless their stripes are 'cloth'
