Tier 9 Armor Sets - HD Model Preview (Final Version)

[Qlippoth]

It's just me, or on the PTR the T8 warlock model has changed to the T9 shown here?
I logged yesterday and my undead lock had the T9 head (and probably the other pieces too).

[Giulls]

Actually the Death Knight plate legs from T8 and its lookalikes also have extra poly 'doodads' if you wear them without a tabard.

Which brings me to my point:
Sorry, Bobouille, but you might have to reupload the HD Paladin screenshots, you're using the DK legs wit the Paladin set! It's fairly noticeably awkward too.

[Baever]

Well, alliance druid doesn't look that bad but I don't like the colors, and the Rogues set... hmm... it looks so lame that it actually looks good.

The helm is atrocious, but with it turned off it might not look half bad.

Too bad I can't say the same about Alliance Mage tier.

[pipper]

gnome female rogue shoulders are too big. other than that, not too shabby. obviously the helm will not be shown...

[Hellsbane]

Wow, epic fail. They dont look bad but honestly THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME! WTF. No tier set has ever looked the same. All the classes should have a unique Tier set.....lame. Glad I quit....game is going to hell.

[Tygroen]

Wtf are you people not noticing about the fact that there are FACTION DISTINGUISHABLE SETS. You go ahead and design 20 new sets, while working on current, past, AND WAY INTO THE FUTURE content. Seems like caps are the only way you people can read.

[Hellsbane]

Faction sets are fine for PvP, who gives a shit about faction looks in PvE. YOU NEVER SEE THE HORDE IN A RAID!....maybe you need caps to read.

[Tygroen]

One, why are you posting about a game you no longer play?

And two, should I quote myself? Please go design 20 new gear sets while working on all of the things Blizzard has to work on. Then your argument would be valid.

I don't care that they look the same, I care that the one set per armor type looks bad.

[Tygroen]

THAT is an issue, I agree. Alliance plate just looks silly.

[bendak]

Sigh. The Alliance hunter set is just hideous...It's actually the worst looking set from tiers 1 - 9 for hunter. Yes, I think even 2.5 is better looking.

One thing is clear to me: different artist(s) were on the Alliance and Horde armors...there's just no comparison in quality.

[Hellsbane]

Idc, claiming they have a lot to work on is bullshit. They have diffrent teams working on diffrent games.


Other projects is not an excuse for just copy/pasting the classes with teh same looking gear.

[Vaijin]

Am I the only one who laughed their ass off at the cleavage on the female gnome rogue?

Come on now, that's just hilarious.

[Gintoku]

I'm pritty upset that Alliance shaman get skirts/kilts and Horde shaman get stuck with stupid looking leggings...

Just LOOK at trolls in leggings and say it looks ok, it DOESNT! fix please!

Oh my god, you haven't heard a word I've said. TWENTY ARMOR SETS would be way too much. And yes, blizzard has a shit ton of work to do.

[Hellsbane]

You arnt listening either. It doesnt matter, every Tier set has had a unique look between classes, why should this one be any diffrent??? 20 sets to do that with or not. They have dont 8 Tier sets that have all looked unique...you expect me to believe they have run out of ideas?? w/e

[Shambulanced]

RE: The female draenei shaman look.


CONEHEAD.

[Elementium]

Now that I really look at it the Alliance Shaman set does look kind of nice. I really like the helm especially.

[Switchshot]

It seems as soon as someone sees an armor set they dont like, all Blizzard has ever done goes down the drain. 'FAIL BLIZZ SO MUCH FAIL SO LAZY FAIL".

Honestly look at all the great changes they are bringing this patch, more pve AND pvp content, lots of bug and class fixes. Exp stop and pvp exp, mount system overhaul and some stat behaviour overhauls. They are brining some great game improving changes BUT you don't like the tiers sets so therefore they fail and are lazy.

Good logic!

[Keoren]

I said it before, I say it again. I like Alliance leather and actually quite a few of the new sets. Horde leather and mail both seem somewhat uninspired, for one.
