News: VS Heavy Assault

[Raymac]

Cool comparison EP. It really helps you see that the silouette of each will be distinct. I like it.

Also, anyone complaining about the colors shouldn't really worry considering that we know there will be tons of customization for that.

[Geist]

All I can say to this is I'm glad I'm TR...but it would probably look good-ish if you could get a retro PS1 helmet.

[sylphaen]

Mmm... Not sure.

The classic VS PS1 REXO had sexier curves and groovy shinpads. The PS2 REXO seems too bulky at the torso/shoulder level.

I don't find the PS2 helmet particularly bad.

Definitely too much gray. (Or maybe it goes "gray+little teal" to "teal+little purple" to "purple+little teal+iridescent reflections" as your BR increases)

Overall, I still prefer the classic PS1 REXO.

How do you figure NC can't even get covered joints, the NC armourers are not even as good as the armourers of the 16th century.

we need atleast SOME space between our armor to inject the steroids

[Bags]

finally, something of the VS that doesn't look bad ass :P

[CrystalViolet]

I like the armor, the helmet fin is going to have to grow on me though. HA = TR > VS >NC as far as looks.

[Grognard]

Looks like I am in the minority here... I actually like it. Not woried about the color at all, because it is supposed to be of passable looks, and function correctly... otherwise the micro transactions are for naught. Color, helmet shape, and other minutia probably have cash shop varients. The over-all look is what appeals to me, and with a bit of customizing, this suit will look fantastic, as... will the others.

I honestly believe that they have quite a few looks for each armor set... and put the "bad-ass" ones aside for the shop. They then pick a "passable" version for launch, so you look decent and functional, but will be motivated to buy "bad-assness" later. Otherwise, why even have a shop?

Summary, cant wait to see my particular "final look", cause most of these launch versions still look pretty damn good...


Edit: At least we now know the Vanus ancestors were Sleestaks... or maybe Vanu = Altrusians

[Hmr85]

I'm not a fan of the helmet. Vs is the worst of the 3 in helmet designs imo. As far as the rest of it goes. I'd rate it as NC>TR extremely close>VS for HA

That stupid whining thread where someone said "wah wah! TR looks bad" got us nerfed already. Un-be-liev-a-ble !


Edit: yeah... Our HA really looks like a fish. Full body swimsuit !


I'm not sure how those shoulderpads hold-up either.

NC looks the worst WAs planning on going HA with NC, but now I'm reconsidering...

Still - TR looks best, followed by VS, a huge gap and NC.


Btw are there female characters? I found only one mention of female models.

[VioletZero]

I don't like it.

TR Heavy Assault looks the best by far. It's probably because it is notably bulky and intimidating.

[Lorgarn]

I actually like the VS's headpiece. It looks snazzy!
