so, i spent half my week leveling cobalt and making the next star version, all the way up to azure. within 1 min of maxing my mighty cobalt, i transmute an azure helm.

~it looks exactly like mighty cobalt~

this was deeply dissatisfying, as i thought it would look uber like the aegis shield. and now i feel like i wasted time, as the only reason i wanted azure is because i was convinced itd look insane (i mean its pretty unbalanced as it only has norm defence). but no.

so i was wondering if there will be new art very soon, or is it in progress? im fine with having 1-3 star look the same but i thought 4-5 were special and should look different to the previous armour. theres no way to distinguish that i even have 5 star armour now, apart from saying hey i have azure stuff. so is blackhat working on this?
danke.

*gives virtual cookie to blackhat," make moar art " =P*

As we've stated in the past,

As we've stated in the past, all star levels will eventually be unique in appearance, but it will take time to get to that point (we're a very small team!). Please be patient.

I noticed this. Glad to hear they will be different.
Upgrading to the next tier of Salamander gear will be even more fun if it changes looks.

Also, my Aegis looks exactly like Mighty Defender. So I don't see what you're saying about the Aegis looking uber, OP

One more thing

One more thing: Different models for shields, currently we only have a lot of textures, and 3 models for shields (Buckler, shield, and tortoise carapace)

I would really like it if there was more diversity in those. Even some silly shields, like using an old iron stove "door" as a shield, or similar.

Actually, do you need another 3D modeler? I'm really bored.

Hey nick, I have a small

Hey nick, I have a small suggestion in terms of this stuff:

It seems a lot of things people are mentioning go under the lines of "We intend to do this eventually!"
Would you guys mind making a list? I don't mean think up everything ever thought of to be finished, because I doubt you guys have a giant list of your own, most of it is probably in your heads, however start off small, and as these things are mentioned add on to it, so we as players know what to expect.

Just an idea.
