Vetex should let people wear the new magic and fighting style gear as vanity

that works amazingly.

the polar opposite to sunken armor

makes me wonder what crystalized purple poison looks like.
drowned water, frozen ice/snow, archaic wood/earth/metal, sandy sand, superheated heat magics.

i gave a coherent reason, it’s because i think if you want to be covered in a magic more than the one you use then why not use that instead, or wait until second awakening so you can pick it

i don’t think of arcanium armour as just differently coloured metal, it is magic flowing through it exuding its properties

i recognise that this opinion is unpopular and nonsensical to most of the people here, but your reasoning eludes me

Bright orange energy projectiles look cool.
Bright orange plate armor looks like shit.

it is genuinely that simple.

Is it so hard to see that a poison mage could want shadow armor for vanity?
Or a sand mage could want… literally anything else.

I think one issue is that it would be harder to tell what people and even NPCs are going to have.

(Edit: Misread. Shocked they’re not)

I mean cmon, who is trying to tell what magic a person is using by their vanity?
just wait for them to use literally any attack and you have an answer.

anybody that explores the dark seas knows the only way to find out what you’re about to fight is to fight lol.

Again with that similar-colors situation I said earlier. Which one is Cold Wind and which one is Ice? Both are actually Spring Water, but you wouldn’t know without the tiniest symbol out there since they’re visually similar.

hello i can answer that, i am a sand magic user and the armor looks shitty while amethyst crystal armor looks really good
i hope this helped

I’ve realized the error of my ways.

(I think having frozen snow armor while being an ice mage could be kinda based…)

it is, if someone thinks shadows are cool enough to cover themself in them then i don’t see why they wouldn’t it as part of their skillset

please come up with better points against a feature that would only improve the game when arguing against it

what if someone just wants to be misleading or they like the way another armor set looks? I dunno

purple/black color scheme is a commonly liked one.
are you stupid? should outfits have 0 contrast?

exactly i fucking love purple and black color combo more than any other in existence but i really dont wanna use shadow and crystal, i much prefer using magma and sand

I like purple/black, I like blue/black, I even like orange/black and a metric shitton of other color combinations.

Do I like shadow magic? hell no.

i just don’t see it as a coat of paint, i see it as the magic it is

Like I started this with:
That is an unbelievably stupid point and I expected better from you.

Just because you can’t understand why people want to have contrast from their outfits and their magic doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be allowed to.

i will be cold in the ground before i get caught swapping to shadow from sand

Ngl I could see people wanting to wear other armor types for the sole reason that the emblems are cool.

like how poison armor literally gives a skull pattern on your chestplate, that’s gotta mean something.
