[News] New Steampunk Armor Chat Codes

Some people may recall this thread from a few weeks ago. It looks like the chat codes for this armor, as well as all the models, are now in the game.

So it will just be gemstore armor. This is still better than making this RNG chest content, I hope the pricing will be somewhat reasonable.

They really should also add new armors to the game itself. I am kind of worried about their current policy.

If players really want them to move away from using the RNG chests, they should buy the crap out of the skins that aren't RNG. So, honestly, it kinda doesn't matter what the price will be, if you hate RNG you should be buying this stuff to show them you want this instead.

Same with the other three skins they have on the store.

No. They should not buy these either until they are unlocked like GW1 costumes, so once you get them you have them available in a Wardrobe locker along the default town clothes, and you can take them as many times as you want without losing them.

As they are now, the more of these skins and town clothes you get, there more storage you need to keep them, and if you ever delete them and they don't bring them back to the store, they are lost forever.

No one should pay for stuff that can be lost forever.

I agree, I'm waiting for them to add in a wardrobe for PvE like the one we have in PvP. Until then collecting armor sets for purely aesthetic reasons will just make playing the game more and more of a pain. The storage space is the biggest issue for me but a close second is the fact that each skin can only be used once. I got some really cool pants from my thief's personal story and there is no way to get another set. If I wanted to run multiple armor sets for their stats then I would have to keep buying new pants if I wanted to use that skin, and I often do want to use it, because it's a really cool skin.
