I don't see it that way at all. And so what if they don't put rare items through it. The point of these items is not "OMG STATS!" but instead "OMG KINGDOM REP'N".

If you want it for show, just hunt down some chainmail and trade it in. If you want it for stats and show, put something nicer in.

Too bad they don't have reputation or faction points to worry about to get higher ranks or points to spend on these items. Or even events or quests to work at to obtain these items.

As it is now, staff will probably just release a few of each of these items and never release anymore. Unless they are craftable in some way, which is also doubtfull as they will probably require something dumb like diamonds or gold keys.

They were ment to be event off and then made craftable at anytime. Though I like Pojo's idea.. and who says it has to be permenant? They could have it setup just like God given items, you trade a piece of gear in and then it comes out looking like your kingdom set. Though if you drop it or trade it, it takes it's original form again. That would also keep it kingdom locked.

I can't see why this game needs more elite items, as they are one of the elements ruining this game.

So I support Pojos Idea: Kingdom themed Items for Kingdom Members.

This idea works too.

I like the God-items idea, but I'm not too fond of events for them.

Few days late, but I have a full time job now. Usually will be on in the mornings and late nights (midnight on up).

I'll post them as I finish them. Comments appreciated, cause I know I'm not perfect :P


Love the gold shield..it's sexah.

*Edit*

Fixed the shield by rounding it a bit more as suggested before. I didnt even realize how goofy it looked until just a moment ago. You should agree it looks better than it was :D

For Zormite's shield, rather than making the crab claw I already started, I decided on Lance's design. Most of us loved it when he first showed it, and it matches his armor which we've already chosen along with the helmet that I made with this shield in mind, so it fits.

Not including stats until we have a solid plan on how these items will be presented.

I support idea to PoJo and his shield is nice.

Var nice :pluffy:

You're just saying that cause you designed it.

No he didn't.

Lance =/= Tig

Shows us what you know.

But anyways, Tig understood the joke. And that's all that matters. :cool:

I think it should be no stats on em. They should just replace your items gfx and you could get the gfx of the items freely in whatever kingdom your in.

No stats would be too far.

No one would wear them if they don't get any benefit from it. Sure it looks nice to support your kingdom, but would you really give up -50 or more ac just to show you like something, only to reequip your other items back after wearing the Kingdom armor for a few minutes?

And even then, without stats, the gloves, belts and boots would be useless. No one sees those gfx except the person using them, they wouldn't show up at all.

I think he literally meant "No stats", as in you don't lose your good stats either. As in- a different system for changing armor looks without changing your equipment itself- basically what we already suggested, but maybe through another method.

Ziro. Lance Ceserthen. Not LANCE.

No.

Equipping it "over" the current equipped items? That still makes belts, gloves, bracers, and boots useless now. They need some kind of stat

osorry. My mistake.

Here's another graphic for CP. A Pirate Scimitar.

Klay, if you let me know where to send these gfx, i'll get them to you, if your interested in using them.

***

I agree with the suggestion on being able to switch the normal GFX of items for kingdom GFX, thus keeping the same stats.

Someone stated before (To lazy to look) that this will keep people from favoring one kingdom over another for item stats.

The handles to me are to bright :cool:

Blue I can DL them right off here. and as for the sword, I like the idea but it needs some detail work. Thinking of pirates I picture rustic and kinda raggedy, that sword is too clean cut.

Its a new pirate sword that hasn't cut through those zormite n00bs yet.

Exactly. Lawl. I'll dull it up a bit and then we'll see what you think about it then.


Btw, Azeroth, I love your sig image XD


*Edit*

Rusted/Dulled it up quite a bit. May need a tiny bit more tweaking, maybe some notches...Dont mind me, I'm just brainstorming. I like to try and make everything look perfect.

Too bad it won't make it that far.

I liked it better when it wasn't rusty.

There's a 'new' weapon rack in several of the houses on Ghoul Island. It has a scimitar that isn't on Gk as a weapon, and it looks pretty sexy. I'd like to see that go somewhere.

You mean... the person who designed whatever we were talking about was this Lance Ceserthen, and NOT the Lance known as Tseng?

The person who made the shield I posted was Lance Ceserthen, account: Ceserthen

Right now I'm undecided on what I like more. And I'm not saying that cause i made them. I just like them both *shrugs*

Righto! Back to work!

The rusty one you made looks like you took the original blade and just put brown dots onto it.

Honestly, I did a recolor of it all. I think it turned out quite rusty. Maybe too rusty. I dunno! I'm just one man XD

They both look terrible

The first one looks better then what I've seen on Era.

Dont even get me started about era.

What about muskets or flintlock pistols? I dunno if they'd be allowed, but thought I'd throw the idea in

Anywho, here is something I put together just for fun. Just a regular old flintlock pistol.

Ironyfest 2008.

Isn't it about time for a new age?

Gunpowder would be wonderful.


Omg..I hate it when Gimp freezes and i forgot to save...

Arquebus would be fun.

We've touched on primitive guns before, not many people were big on it. Why not a new crossbow?

I don't see why people always throw pistols out whenever it arises. There are cannons aren't there? Same technology, smaller package. I also can't think of many pirate stories/movies that didn't have them.
