We're currently looking into this, the issue seems to be related to the one with the Spear of Annihilation. Turning your lighting detail up to ultra will make the textures look better, however there's some stuff going on in the textures for both this armour and the spear which has blown out the colours. This isn't present in the ghostly one because the colour range is a lot more limited.
Thanks for the reply :)
I'd also like to know why the Zaros symbol on the legs is missing and the symbol inside the triangle piece on the body.
Sure! Can't really say unfortunately, a concept artist would be able to give a better answer
I have my settings all on ultra and the set still looks horrible. It is good to hear you are looking into this and I hope you are able to make it look better. I don't know what design idea your team had with the armor but the current colors make it look little too unrealistic and unreal, it is just little bit too dark. In the official art the armor looks good so could you possible tone the darkness down a little and make the metal look more real?
As I mentioned in the comment above the ultra settings are only part of what's going on here. Didn't want to clutter with too much detail, but what you've suggested there is basically the other part that I was referring to :) In the past we had to push darker and lighter values in textures a lot to make them show better, because of a change in systems we need to do the opposite and limit the range.
always be proud of your work! dont feel the need to declutter replys! we love to learn about the inner workings of things and why certain things happen. Thanks for answering for us :)
Cheers! I'll keep that in mind if it's informative, I'm Dutch and trying not to be too direct so there's always going to be a degree of decluttering hahaha
Thank you for replying, I appreciate you are looking into it and I hope you are able to do some magic to make the ancient armor look as good as it deserves :)
Thank you for bearing with us! That's the intention :)
Hey Sel, what about Second Aged Armour.
We were told that was being "looked into" 2 years ago, and it still looks like card board with paper glued overtop.
Hey, looking at the Second Age armour I don't think we'll be making changes for the time being as it would need a complete rework at this point. When I say something is being looked into I really mean just that, and while we would like to make changes, things don't always work out that way. I'd say it's more likely that changes are made to the Twitch armour or the Spear of Annihilation as what's going on here needs some additional testing.
