Time To Discuss Barbarian Cultural Armor

[Jimjam]

Trolls didn’t get theirs by luclin. Half elves piggy back off other cultures. Can’t learn to make them though.

The interaction between armor tinting and light sources got a bit weird at some point (the Titanium client has the "weird" interaction).

Light sources will sort of "negate" armor tints. For example, in normal lighting crafted armor will have the normal light blue tint, but if you get close to the armor with a light source you'll notice that the armor looks more like un-tinted platemail where the light is shining.

Difficult to describe but I'm sure some people have noticed this.

If the Northman chain is a light purple tint it's possible that there's enough lighting in that screenshot to "destroy" the tint. It's easier to see armor tints in dimly lit areas.

To be fair, that screenshot was taken on my phone from the character selection screen. Character select enhances the full model detail but also seems to increase brightness when compared to in game. Also my phone may have auto adjusted brightness or something. Either way, if there is any sort of tint it is very negligible. Same holds true for high elven chain. I will try to get better screenshots in game sometime, although it can often be hard to get good quality full body shots.

The only pic I know of in the wiki is:

The Northaman ringmail definitely seems to have some blue stripes, while the normal (banded) armor doesn't ... but the lighting between the two pics is so different that it's hard to say for sure.

If anyone has a Barbarian in banded that they could screenshot (at the character select screen), it would help us compare apples to apples.

This may be a discovery worthy of a bug thread.





Perhaps I've taken it too personally, but I didn't find your discussion so civil.

Did you not see the posts I was replying to? I think what I said in response to them was very civil, compared to what it could have been. Why dont you look at their posts and then clutch your pearls.

What you are seeing in this image, is banded mail. Though it may be that some other armors have the exact same graphic.

its 2023 - is it really time to discuss barbarian cultural armor?

[Jimjam]

You suggested the giants outside permafrost should drop essence of winter, I sought clarification as to whether you thought this was classic behaviour (as the project is like an electronic experimental archaeology designed to recreate eq as it was 1999-2001) and you called me insane but did not actually provide an answer.

You tell me to clutch my pearls when I kindly advise you don’t appear quite as civil as you claim.

You advise me to look back on how well behaved you have been to over posters and your first reply to someone you tell them to stfu.

I appreciate you feel you could have acted much less civil, you are likely right, but take a moment to reflect - you’re trying to push the project into changes that go against it’s core and you aren’t being entirely nice about it either.

Do you really think this behaviour is going to help achieve your goals?

If you think EoWinter is too rare then you need to find evidence toward it dropping more commonly in era instead of mouthing off against people trying to set things straight or help you.

The devs seem unlikely to give a second glance to a thread making unsubstantiated demands full of pages of ranting, don’t you think?
