You can almost tell how much time was put into this just by looking at how well, they all look the same! Where is the passion? With all the great artist you'd think they would make the armor look better then this. I mean yeah we can always mog, but thats not the point here. This is lazy on blizzards part and a move in wrong direction. Bring back tier sets for the classes.
I see many people bashing on the mail set. Good.I see many people claiming the mail set is made for me as an Elemental Shaman. It's not.It's just bad.
Seriously, Blizzard needs to stop cost cutting and bring back tier sets. There is zero class identity here whatsoever and the mythic looks like what normal should look like. Mythic gear should be over the top, awesome looking; just like Elite pvp gear.
Kind of reminds of me of WoD, where only the Mythic sets look good and everything else is boring AF.
I like that they're using naga motifs, but I feel like the sets are just lackluster compared to how tier sets used to be. Especially the case when you think about how epic some of these raids are. I mean, we're fighting AZSHARA. These sets should be beautiful! But sadly, it just looks like dungeon gear, and the mythic gear feels as detailed as old normal/heroic gear (aside from adding more 3D parts that didn't exist in older expansions).If they plan to stick with Raid themed sets in the future, I do wish they'd put more love in to them, with more effects and such even on the normal/heroic sets, and then just make mythic more extravagant. There's less sets to deal with now, so I don't quite get why they feel worse than before. I like the IDEA of sets themed around the raid itself, but it wasn't pushed far enough.That said, the mythic cloth is kind of cool? And I like the colors on Normal cloth at least. I could see using parts of it...maybe...
They said that they were getting rid of tier sets for two reasons: They didn't want people to feel like they needed them to be effective in raid and because they wanted to be able to make more themed after different zones the players would be adventuring in. These sets are not very appealing visually as of now. Usually Mythic versions of armor are jaw dropping amazing but this expansion most of the armor has seemed like reuse of older set models or just don't really catch the eye. I agree the only good looking one is Mythic cloth. Maybe its the color pallet.
I agree with you 100%
This is probably the first time Ive looked at all three sets and laughed about how terrible they look. Most greens have more appeal. Tier died for this
Basically, I understand all the changes this way: There is lack of time or there is lack of imagination of designers or who ever making the modeling part in WoW world. I will explain my point of view. Sometimes as we can see, designers create sets like in the Tomb Of Sargeras Raid. They look super awesome, but still it was copied from the old content (to be correct tire 6 sets) like Lightbringer Battlegear, with a little bit upgrade graphics. They look amazing for me. But in terms of imagination, there were nothing new. And from other side we now have as many people mentioned, non interesting and boring BfA sets. So I asked myself,
I mean they look cool I guess, in terms of an overall theme I see what they're trying to go for. But....don't they ever think about what looks badass and cool anymore? These would only really work on NPCs. The real question is "Would *I* want to wear that?"
Vendor that trash
So tired of robes for cloth and mail. Cloth needs better non-robe transmogs.
I like the mythic sets that show fins. The other sets don't really match the theme until it reaches the mythic sets. The other sets just seem simple. I don't think they are bad at all. They look like decent sets, if a little plain. I just dont see how those sets evolve into Mythic sets.
You have the Normal and LFR leather colors backwards.
Gods I hate the leather set its another set where rogues killed a class this case cata hunters skinned there armor and badly put it back together on them as an armor set
The mythic cloth and leather look pretty good i suppose, EVERYTHING else is garbage, like they have been for past 2 raids, just go back to class sets.
This is not great. There needs to be more variety. I want to look like a priest not... whatever this is.
Jesus christ the mail is disgusting, it looks like some extremely half assed effort they threw at their kids to design. The look like something you'd get from questing rather than something you have to form a raid group for.
