I was looking at my inventory and thought: "I have a lot more Helmets than Armor". I quickly realized that it was because those extra Helmets were from the Operation Crimson Hammer Expansion and the Black Kat event.
Wouldn't it be great if future events featured crafting new unique armor lines instead of helmets? These new pieces of armor could also have abilities we've been wanting to see happen as well or it could be related to an event (Don't have to, but could.)
-Like armor that gave our swords CTR. A steampunk styled armor with parts like a train. With Heavy Gears for shoulder armor and a Rocket Sprocket for it's emblem. That griddle thing on the front of the train as it's collar. The whole thing a dark, brown, rustic color. On the sides little gears would turn, maybe a small little spark comes out every now and then. We could have an event with a new NPC that rides a train around haven. It could be on February 22, the day the first steam powered tramway locomotive made a trip from one point to the next carrying iron, men, and wagons. (1804) The locomotive was made by Richard Trevithick, we could name the NPC something similar to that. February 22 is a little over a week after Valentines Day, so it won't get in the way of anything that may happen for it. We could have a mission where Gremlins hijack the Order's trains and we fight through maps where we fight from car to car to stop the train.
-Or instead of that we could do an event on the Hanami Festival or on the 1st Day Cherry Blossoms bloom. Since the Shogun Helmet is a costume, instead of Samurai Armor (I still want this someday as a costume though) we could to a Ronin Garb. With a white top and red pants. The ends of the sleeves and the legs are really wide and wavy. There's a belt in the middle that sways with movement. It wouldn't have any shoulder armor and would show a knight's slender arms, a unique thing not seem in many lines. Iai Strike (as we say it) is a term that roughly means to focus and defeat your enemy with one swing. Since the Knight does a draw motion as he/she charges this could really work. Let's see Kozma in a kimono...? Could we have a revival of the Tortodrone and create a Kame (Turtle) boss enemy?
-How about a Demo Suit that gives Shadow Defense? We have the Kat Hiss line for helmets. How about a white button down shirt, tie, and slacks combo? It could be manufactured by Devilite factory workers. I'll bet something like that would look great with a helmet that had Square Glasses attached to it! We could have an event where (Maybe temporarily) friendly Devilites outsource to the Spiral Order to get rid of Dust Bunnies or Scarabs infesting their offices! (Um...on this one it doesn't have to have a Bomb Ability...I just want a Shadow Bomb Armor)
What do you think? Suggest your own ideas. It doesn't have to have a special ability, or event attached to it. I had thought about these for a short while and did some googling when I thought about the Train Event. You never know, it could become real, like the searchlights in the Collector level. And I know you may not like my ideas...that's okay, but make sure you think of something too ok?
This sounds cool but I would rather have the helmets be given their armor pair.
Good ideas, could be better.
