What armor is this?

Well, for this particular piece maybe but not for the bug that causes it heheh but thanks

I have that problem and I dont have Windows 7, so that's not the issue.


It saddens me somewhat how little good Steampunk stuff we have.

Well, catsuits are generally what counts as "stealth" so it works. ExoProto to me looks bio-tech. Not so much belts and clips as sinew-ish looking things.

I'll agree with Ulterior being at least somewhat similar to Justice, though they have very distinct patterns and specular effects.

Just thought I'd clarify myself - you're free to dislike whatever you want, but comparing vastly different costume parts in order to complain that everything we get is samey is nonsensical. Admitting that you don't even use the pieces so you can't even tell them apart...that speaks for itself. (Not actually talking to you, of course, Sam.)

Something that a lot of people overlook is that you can use the Ulterior pattern separate from the actual texture piece. I'm not much a fan of the actual parts, but it's a pretty good pattern.

We see things a bit differently, then. While catsuits do tend to be what counts for stealthy, they really mostly go with athletic characters, e.i. those who can pass for cat burglars. When I think stealth suit, though, I think stealth game, and those usually have a brawny man in the lead who isn't so much athletic and wears less of a catsuit and more of a combination of fatigues and super-tech armour. Solid Snake is probably the best example of this, though the original Metal Gear Solid didn't have enough detail definition to let me know WHAT he was wearing.

ExoProto is sort of that - a very complicated, very incomprehensible suit of sleek super-tech armour. Granted, if you two-coloured it, it might look like tech sewn into the body, but I run mine uni-colour (and all black) and it actually works pretty well for a stealth suit. It also DOES have canvas belts and buckles, by the way.

Certainly they're different in detail, and done by different people, no less. I'm only saying they're in sort of a similar style, sort like how the ExoProto dual-coloured sort of matches the Cyborg Pack pieces, even though it's actually different when you look at it. Having things in the same style is not bad, I was just saying that Ulterior is not comparable to Vanguard or Enforcer in the slightest, and only to Justice if it's comparable to anything at all.

Yeah, while "I don't like it" is a perfectly valid argument, "I don't like it so it sucks" isn't. Not in any incarnation. I actually went through the exact same thing with walking yesterday, and I feel somewhat vindicated to see it in the patch notes today

I need to work with the Ulterior set a little more, but I have to say that seeing the texture without the pattern and the pattern without the texture is what originally led me to believe it was bad. I haven't seen them in a while, so my opinion of them separately may have changed, but it wasn't until I saw them used together and woven into a costume with other pieces that I thought "Oh, wow! What set is that? I want to try it! Ulterior? Seriously? Man, was my impression wrong!"

One thing of note - as with all costume sets, if you use every piece of it and go for a complete set with all the details and trimmings, you end up looking RIDICULOUS. This was true for Justice and Sinister, it was true for Enforcer, it's actually true for Vanguard, it's SO VERY TRUE for Valkyrie... Whole sets with nothing but the sets all coloured the same just look silly, and I have not seen them look anything but, myself. As always, mixing and matching between sets to add some variety and some interesting elements to the set is far superior.

I think Justice pulls together nicely (but I've always thought it is a bit bulky), and Enforcer is workable (it mostly suffers from a lack of leg details). I can't entirely say on Vanguard since I've never actually looked at it too hard (what good is a costume set I can't get until over halfway through the game?).

But very true for Sinister, Valkyrie, and Ulterior I'll definitely agree. The pieces are just too overwhelmingly busy, or have overly ostentatious details.

Though like how you use ExoProto - color matters a lot too. Justice is probably far more garish if you use strong colors, but using a dark blue with desaturated blue highlights has served me well for one my characters.

I wish they'd add a more steampunkish version of the Piston boots. Or heck, just redo the recipe boots. They look.. kinda chunky in both size (hard to match up at the knee with the size difference) and general look, too.

Yeah, that's new for sure. I've gotten all the power packs and have all the vet rewards and have never seen it before. Belive me, i'd have used it by now it i had it, it's right up my alley. Hoping we get it soon.
