I bet most of you are here because you read the letters "CE Giveaway". Welp, this is no scam or trick or anything fishy like that. All you have to do is tell me your thoughts on the stealth-patched Accessory Icon changes. At the end of 24 hours, I'll select 5 lucky names from the posters below and those five will win 100 CE apiece.

In order to make yourself eligible for the giveaway, include the word "dragon" somewhere in your post or as your post title. Please also answer in some form the following questions. What do you think about the new icons? Are they eyesores, better for quality control, or are you just impartial to it?

Thanks for taking the time to list your thoughts. G'luck!

I think they are kinda weird. especially Unclean Aura at first I thought that was negative colours or something. The other types are more dull in colour, but dusky type icon shows the colours of a dusky item better. I don't like how volcanic looks kinda orange though. Oh yeah I made a clay dragon once and it was brown like heavy accessories.

Dragon?

I like how dusky is a little darker, but why was the azure guardian crest changed to purple? Doesn't make sense to me, same with unclean aura.

dragons are lame

Doesn't make much of a difference to me. I thought you were talking about the bomb icons which are quite lame.

I'm making a dragon costume :)

I guess is kinda better in some way to add clarification to where it goes. But I agree with ginger, the color change was uneeded, but ya I'm impartial to it

Dragons. Meh. Steam punk dragons are baws though :D

Eh.... I thought something was odd when I was looking at the accessories. Feels kinda unnecessary, and look a little weird... Dusky looks better though.
Impartial.

I don't mind the slightly darker Dusky (and I think Fancy too), but the new crests are a really ugly dark red, blue, and green. Unclean Aura looks more, well, unclean now, so that's a thing.

I must agree on Dukeplatypus' opinion on the new crests. I find them a bit astonishing when it came to the colors and how they were.
Dusky, has always intrigued me, in some cases it still wasn't much of a big deal for them changing it. The new icons they for me are kinda eyesores, not most of them though, but anyways I had no clue what the Game Creators where thinking when they tried to switch everything up. Unclean aura, looks much more detailed than before. Am I the only one that thinks that?

I thought something looked weird when I was looking at the unclean aura on the Featured Auctions. Otherwise, I'm pretty impartial to it, except for the fact that I really don't see WHY they changed something as simple as this. Also, dragon.

Idk, seems like they made the difference between the 2 colors of the color type more visible (wha?)

ummm, like its easy to see the Lighter White and Darker White on the Divine Icon, and the Dark Red, with the Orangeish of the Volcanic.

Not really something that affects well...anything imo. the accessories look the same in the end, so i don't think it really matters what the icon is.

PS. Dragon.

To me, the new colors seem a little bit too pastel, kind of like the icon for the dragon scale helm. The Azure Guardian Crest's icon looks downright weird. Overall, I find the change to be totally unnecessary.

Not exactly pleasing.

Honestly I think a color change was needed, especially for the crests, but this is just ugly.
There is definitely some over-saturation and bad color matching going on. The symbol for the Azure Crest confuses me the most; it looks similar to the Unclean Aura, but it's not even... I mean it's just unrelated. Why would you pick those colors. *sigh*
Dragon.

I like dragons.

I don't care much. Really, the new color seems to fit better than it did before, but whatever.

I think that the new accessory icons look rather dull. I initially described them as drab, but then remembered the original name for Military accessories. I found some things interesting, such as the Flame Aura icon, because it had more depth to it rather than the original design just being a basic red throughout the icon. Others, such as the Unclean Aura just didn't make much sense and the matching was horrific. How can you expect to make a nice, matching costume when the icons of the components of it don't match amongst themselves.

Secret bump as well just to make sure this isn't killed by rage threads :D (nevermind, did it wrong ._.)

I think they look better (except for the bugged unclean and cobalt crest line ones haha) however now the whole wiki has to change. XD

Might as well dragon, too.
