Stone Armor - Granite Armor

i have always disliked the look of granite.

please change it.

I've been slowly building up a stone tank. I'd probably build him up faster if a future of visual mediocrity and conformity weren't waiting for him.

As someone who stopped playing her stone tanker after the mid 30s because of how generic they look, I would say change it. On the other hand, I'd ask that you make sure whatever you change it too stays massive looking and cool.

If that isn't possible, or too many people are nay-saying it, would it be possible to add a couple of additional character models that could be chosen from instead? The Devouring Earth have some very cool crystaline mobs and Minions of Igneous have lava-ish ones unless I am completely misremembering.

I personally hate the fact that Granite Armor covers the entire costume. I would love to have it changed in the way BABs has described.

I've always felt that Granite looked too much like Devouring Earth. I'd love to see something more unique and obviously customizable. I say change it, as long as the end result looks good and has plenty of options to suit various concepts.

Change it.

Old Poo-man granite was taken away way back and people got over it. The people who complain will get over the loss of DE-man.

Another option would be to have 2 granite power choices in the power line up each exclusive and identical to the other. *Like SOA power picks* One with New overlay one with DE-man. Everyone wins.

I like granite armour as is. Wouldn't like a change to it myself but as the responses so far are for a change, looks like it will be and make me a sad panda.

I'd have to see what the new one would look like but until then all I can vote is negative against this, ideas for customizaion for current granite would be different syles for the armor for all of the different stages of how the Devouring Earth granite models look

This you can do in AE editing. Is there any possible way babs, you can borrow from this?

I'd hold out for options like this..


That would fit perfectly into the "crystal" set.

And for the lava set, maybe you could borrow a minions of igneous npc.

I like granite armor the way it is. Changing into a huge lumbering hunk of rock is better than having them pasted all over your human form. So let's hold off and give devs time to do it right.

I would NOT like my Granite Armor vfx changed to something similar to other armors.

Anything is better than the current model.

If there was a version of Granite Armour that allowed me to customise my look rather than just being a giant lump of generic rock, I might actually play a Stone something.

I always hated that Faultline turned into a big nothing instead of his Riker-esque self when he went stone, and then I had to wait for his lumbering rear to catch up too.

Yes.

Please yes.

Unquestionably yes.

I avoid all powersets that take away my costume. Yes, I'm aware I don't "need" to see my costume in battle, but I like to.

The costume creator is far too powerful a draw for me to simply erase with one power. I wholly support your idea for Granite Armor and could see myself rolling a Stone brute after the change is made.

I would love to see a similar change made to Energy Aura and Dark Armor.

i dont mind the current stone armor look but wouldn't it be simpler to implement Granite under the Weapon customization for different models that could be colored perhaps?
some of us miss the old "poo armor" look.

ultimately though i'm all for more options not less. so if you need to change it to do it:
go for it.

I'd love to have at least a preview of the new effect before giving my answer.
I like the current effect and I am afraid that the new one will, as the others stone armors, not render well at all (especially with a colossus body ).

But if you absolutely want my answer now I would say, keep it as it is.

Bah, I don't like were this thread is going

If Babs removes the slow, bulky feel of the granite I have no need for it anymore. Might aswell play my invul then.

I know my brother would be hearth broken too if you killed off his main.
