Hey guys,

I am posting today about the state of the crest accessories.

Don't get me wrong they are are great accessories, but they a slightly broken to a degree making an unaesthetic appearance on the armor in which they are placed. I am speaking of the cobalt line and most, if not all, of it's variants. As of right now the crests placed on these armors are placed oddly and float out of place. Even the shiny, sexy, wonderful, new solstice crests do this and it has truly broken my heart.

Examples of this atrocity can be seen here: http://i558.photobucket.com/albums/ss22/Tdlob/brokencrest.png

The worst offense of this concluding with the solstice crests resting around the waist area. I know the code for these things is a general "catch-all" but I would really like to see a code placed in game to stipulate placement on specific armors. If it could only be moved up and back a little to be resting on the neck for the solstice crests and closer to the chest on the mission crests I think this would solve the problem.

I know you guys are busy with more important things than the aesthetic appeal of accessories but I would really like to see these things changed/fixed. You would make me a very happy knight.

With Love,

meh

I'm fairly sure part of the reason for having them kind of float is because if they were flush with every armor set, they would clip even more with players' arms and legs (notice your Mighty Cobalt(?) Crest is already sort of entering the pouch on your left side). I'm personally okay with them doing their little floaty thing for that reason.

If there's one thing I don't like about the solstice crests, it's that their chains are simply too short. I wish they would extend a bit further like the straps on a Barrel Belly or maybe even a Monster Pocket; that way they would appear to actually be hanging from Knights' neck area to some extent.

your right.

if they were to bring the chains closer to each other and make it so that the chain would go through thick neck armors, i think that would improve its cosmetic value.

hmm...

Chain does look wierd on that cobalt. If they're gonna make a chanage, I hope its only for the cobalt line, because the solstice crests look boss on the angelic lines the way they are now. Just wish they had a dusky crest to match my dusky angel theme :/

Exactly what I was thinking

@Manalicious-Knight - Accessories clip through armor all the time. Cobalts get clips from Bomb Bandolier, Parry Blade, Canteen. Shall I go on? The only reason I believe it floats is to suit those you who wear armor which has a larger surface area. Demo Suit and Wolvar comes to mind.

@Blandaxt - That's more or less what I had in mind. Would be really nice if they got a quick makeover so that more than the "plus-size" knights can properly wear them.

@Serell - I imagine the code to do something like this would target specific armor sets. Otherwise it's implementation could do something aweful to everyone else's accessories. I'll just leave that one up to your imagination.
