Patch 9.1.5 - Starting Gear Armor Sets

[SNES-1990]

The colours look really washed out, kinda like the MoP greens. Looks more like body paint with the lack of 3D.

[Nnyco]

... why are all the armour sets on a woman?

No you, sit the fuck back down, no anti feminism here, I want to ALSO see them on a male character.

Then datamine em yourself and look at em with male model. Talk about fragile masculinity geez.

[Thage]

Looks like the underlayer for armor with a lot of 3d modeling attached to it. Curious!

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Garbage. Painted on gear. Stop being lazy while Bobby snorts powder on his 2000 yachts and make some new actual content that fits the current year

[Igzorn]

i still wonder when the rest of the old races get thair heritage armor.

[Sorrowseer]

Because the dataminer decided to showcase them on a female model? Not a hard conclusion to come to.

Ah tahts a shame, variance is good for everyone

Then datamine em yourself and look at em with male model. Talk about fragile masculinity geez.

Geez not fragile at all what is wrong with you geez

because I wanted to and it was twice the work to set it up on male models. There wasn't any different in male / female textures in this case. These sets had to be manually pieced together, they weren't just full sets of armour I could throw together in a model viewer.

Can we please get accessories? The nightborne have those potion bottles and flasks attached to their belts, I’ve always wanted!

Also, civilian clothing for races please. Some of prefer profession looking gear, shopkeeper outfits, citizen clothing based on our people. The nightborne have nice normal vests and sleeves and collars and scrolls tucked in belt with quill and stuff, Tauren have tribal garb, can have dream catcher and medicine/seed/herb pouch, pandaren can have robes and kegs and teapots.

I’m not talking about heritage armor, I’m talking about civilian, profession, casual outfits for those of us who don’t want to save worlds but would rather relax in our home town or travel or trade, etc.

For an expansion filled with cosmetics and customization, I'd like to mention that profession-themed gear, such as pocketed vests for leather workers, tailors, and others, quill and scroll-stuffed satchels for scribes, tool belts tucked with handy tools and a pair of gem cutting goggles for jewelcrafters and engineers, and tome-toting travel bags for our trades. Simple yet immersive pieces of cosmetic gear such as profession-pouched belts and backpacks dangling with items we use for our craftsmanship, engineer and jewelcrafter toolboxes, blacksmith helmets and apron, etc.

I think lots of players would have fun collecting and crafting these clothes, and I think the WoW community would love a wardrobe of civilian and profession gear to dawn when relaxing from honing skills and saving worlds. hopefully we'll see vials, potion bottles, blueprints, gem boxes, pouches of enchanting supplies, and various job-related ornaments adorning our busy workers. belts,vests, backpacks, satchels, waist packs, pouches, pockets, special hats and gloves, would all be cool!

Cosmetic slot for back, waist, and face/head! For accessories!

Also, some cloaks with hood would be really immersive and awesome to clad ourselves in.

Hooded cloaks!

I recommend/suggest a cosmetic/accessory slot next to our gear slot, that will allow us to have our main gear per main slot and attach accessories/cosmetics to the main gear slot's gear. That way we can have our cloak and quiver or hat and glasses or belt and object.

I prefer more normal items on the back like rucksacks, backpacks, duffle bags, quivers, and race/culture items like tauren and highmountain tauren totems, hopefully goblin rockets, gnome generator pack, etc. These things are fine for whatever these things are but the immersive, practical, recognizable items are what I look forward to, to really deck out my character in their fantasy.

Back, face, and belt accessories/cosmetics can offer a lot to us and to the game, especially if we have a dedicated accessory/cosmetic slot per those gear slots, that way items, objects, decorations, ornaments, belongings, etc, can hitch to our gear, adorn us along with our gear, rather than replacing/being instead of our gear. It's basically a few extra slots, specific for no-stat adornments that accompany our characters, further enriching/enhancing the fantasy of our toons.

Hopefully pandaren heritage armor comes with a wooden brew keg, with iron koi fish topper or bonsai tree potted atop the barrel, or some ornately carved cloud serpents in the drum of ale. with some teapots, kegs, flasks, gourd jugs, spirit bottles attached or dangling from ropes wrapped around it!

I wouldnt even be one of the people who wants/collects this gear but these are all great ideas

So it's fragile <insert race/sex/etc> when they're asking to be equally represented then according to you....

[Edward Wu]

Looks like shit. Both the sets and the dumb fro broad.

[Ealyssa]

So it's fragile <insert race/sex/etc> when they're asking to be equally represented then according to you....

Yes, it’s extreme fragility when you feel entitled that a dataminer doing shit for free need to bend to your fragile will… on top of being kinda pathetic.

Data is out there, feel free to render it on a male and share your work to the world for free too. You’ll be welcome.

[caninepawprints]

Damn it. The starter gear looks way better than end game gear. WTF?

[Nuggsy]

Renaming McCree is a joke. Nobody outside of hardcore blizzard fans would have even known the name had any connection to the devs. This was done to satisfy a few ultra sensitive people. This name wasn't in honor or some guy, or to dedicate a monument of him but this will satisfy a few people who will claim this as a victory and totally overlook the actual lack of meaningful change. Or the shredding of documents. Or anything. This is just sad.

[Every Pwny]

Wow, these sets suck, true they are starter sets but they could put a little effort into them.

[Thelyron]

Then datamine em yourself and look at em with male model. Talk about fragile masculinity geez.

You need to go back.

[Garretdejiko]

This is so underwhelming. Are they really trying to get people resub with this?
Also why relocating resources to something that will be seen for about 2-3 levels and adds little to nothing to the experience?

[GrinnersGrin]

When did they start modelling gear on mag'har, don't they usually use Humans?

[Julmara]

Garbage. Painted on gear. Stop being lazy while Bobby snorts powder on his 2000 yachts and make some new actual content that fits the current year

exactly might as well just wear paper seems to have the same defense value

[wombinator04]

What a disgusting hair style, where's my rat tail hairstyle if we're gonna deal with this abomination.

[Icelin]

So they got time to crank out ''starter gear'', but keep on with the excuses for no tier sets??

I am having problems understanding this myself. As for the dresses.. it's not trying to be offensive, but I dislike them. The Overwatch franchise, HOTS can have cute outfits. (Blizzard IPs) Yet a Blizzard game with a subscription is incapable of this? You know exactly the attire people been asking for. This is not it.

Maybe go look at all the competition and I mean all. GW2, FF14, TERA.. even Fortnite from what images people have posted on this site. See the outfits they let females express themselves with. As WoW has managed to be the only game in this industry trying to oppress women still. (Sylvanas had to have her midriff covered for an example..) It should be player choice for attire. Make the choices. Stop criticizing people, especially women and girls, who are perceived to violate expectations of behavior and appearance. Women are demeaned and degraded into silence. Don't reinforce systemic violence.

Digressed into dresses because I seen a couple. I would like some nice BOE's with all different types of dresses. Cute ones, short ones, ones with slits on the side etc. None of the dresses displayed here have any of this. I thought they might want to actually do some nice things for women. Instead of demonizing all men. That would show more acceptance and tolerance in my eyes. Giving more, positivity, acceptance. It doesn't seem like it's the real message they are trying to portray is it..

Still Tier sets are more important. Tier sets reach a wider audience.
